if they could get him IN and get HIN
tight" they could have some fnn--bu
he refused to call, and after he had pas
sed the house some distance, they follow
ed him, when he yielded TO their persua:
sions TO return. The young men obtained
whiskey (the common Ohio, presumed
from the landlord, and the little boy was
induced to drink at once the full OF hall
pint tumbler, but they thinking he was
not yet in condition for fun, repeated
glass after glass, until they induced the
poor boy to drink four and half g iasses,
rs fast as il could be furnished by the land
lord and in from five to fifteen minutes
from the time this unfortunate little boy
passed by this house of temptation on his
way home TO his widowed mother, he lei

drinking this extraordinary quantity Of
whiskey, in less than moment he feI
