him one of the most effective as he
had been one of the earliest advo-
Gates of abstinence in Great Brit
ain. Mr.. Cruikshank, literally in
his old age, turned his attention to
oil painting, and so far educated
himself as to make his works of this
sort much sought after by collec.

became lieutenant colonel Of Lon

amateur actor of no mean power,
fond of displaying his talent at
occasions for benevolent purposes.

Thought He Haa ,Em AgaIn.

Cincinnati Saturday Night
Snifles brought his two weeks
spree to a close on Saturday night.
He lay on a lounge in the parlor,
feeling as mean as sour lager, when
something in the corner of the room
attracted his attention. Raising on
his elbow he gazed steadily at it.
Rubbing his eyes, he stared again,
and as he stared his terror grew.
Calling his wife he asked hoarsely:
"Marindy, what is that y
What is what, Likey?"
Snifies' name was Lycurgus, and
his wife calls him Likely for short
and sweet.
"Why, Misunderstanding in the
corner" said the frightened man,
pointing at it with a hand shaking
like a politician. 5Q0
Likely, dear, l see nothing" re-
piled the woman.
What! you don't see 1t Z" he
shrieked.
"No."
"Then T've got EN-. Oh, heav-
ems! bring me the bible, Miranda
bring it quick! HereLhere, on
this sacred book l swear never to
drink a drop of whisky. If break
my vow, may my right hand cleave
to the roof Of my mouth, and"
Here, catching another glimpse
of the terrible object, he clutched
his wife and begged in piteous tones:
"Don't leave me; don't leave
your Likely" And burying his
face in the folds of her dress, he
sobbed and moaned himself into a
troubled sleep.
Then his wife stole gently to the
corner, picked up the toy snake,
and threw it into the stove.
