Toronto

IN 1813 Toronto was twice looted by U.S. troops. This is said in some quarters to have caused a resentment. A totally unknown historian has pointed out that, dating from this unneighborly incident, there was a marked increase in toperish tippling in Toronto. Every one knows that drinking on top of an empty resentment leads almost inevitably to alcoholism. Thus Toronto has an 'excuse' straight out of the history books for turning out a distinguished array of anonymii. Few other cities can make that statement!
