"What will you take to drink % asked
the waiter Of young lad who, for the frst
time, accompanied his father to a public
dinner. Uncertain what to say. and feeling
sure that be could not be wrong if he fol-
lowed his fathers example. he replied, 'I'Il
take what father takes.''
The answer reached his fathers ear, and
instantly the full responsibility of his posi-
ton flashed upon him. If he said, "I'll
take ale," as he had always said before,
his son would take it also, and them And
the father shuddered as the history of sew
eral young men who, once promising as his
own bright lad, had been ruined by drink,
started up in solemn warning before him.
Should his hopes also be blasted and that
open-laced, noble lad become burden and
curse, as they had become But for
strong drink, they would have been active

work such ruin upon them was his own lad

thoughts passed through his mind, and in
a moment the decision was made. eff the
boy falls, be shall not have me to blame;'
and then in tones tremulous with emotion
and to the astonishment of those who knew
him, he said, Waiter, I'll take water -
and from that day to this strong drink has
been banished from that mans table and
from that mans home.

oeivsd 5 part Of the moneys /. .700-and
expressed the opinion that those who
were engaged in the transaction, and had
not already been spprehsndsd would not be

with others, to rob the Shelbyville Bank
that he had gone there and got q hundred

''Here's to a penniless man."

stuffed his pantaloons into his boot tops,
aud put on his gloves, remarking as he
pressed his fingers within each other to
