he told his widowed mother that two coming
after him and his trunk His mother quoted his fears
and told him there was not danger lilo then went
bed for few moments but soon arose and when his
mothers back tSned, slipped before the glass seiz
ed butcher knife and inflicted dreadful cash upon his
throat The knife Immediately taken from him,
and he then cOnsummated his intentions with common
jack knife II will not be wondered al that his widowed
mother Is now well nigh bereft of her senses almost
distracted ri the loss of her beloved The deceased

into his former habits At last he sought refuge the
Sons Of Temperance and for while he lived became
true Son Of Temperance. Yet even ihis barrier was
too feeble he went where the destroyer wss-he fell
He would have done rightly but the rumsellers pander
ed to his weakness they hestated not they cared not
