Barleycorn is departed this life--prophets tell of a resurrection to come but at this moment the esteemed & popular J.B. is dead. He was "waked" in every city, town & village where the old brass rail still did its noblest duty. Photo shows the last few minutes of the valued hour slipping away in one of New York's big cafes in the vicinity of Broadway and 42nd St..Everyone is loading up for the big drought.
