THE PRODIGAL SON.
AS VIEWED BY THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR.

From the way in which he turned out
when he grew to be q young man. it is
easy enough to conclude what kind Of n
boy the Prodigal Son was. He was ez-
treElely extravagant when child. There
wasn't anything in the house too good
| for him. Every cent he could get his
hands on he spent for candy and things.
Ii his mother gave him nickel to put in
the contribution box, he bought peanuts
with it on his way to Sunday school, eat
ing them all up on the road, and not car
ing cent if the poor heathen didn't have
a peanut to their back. The money that
boy could spend! He would wear his
best suit week days, and could not be in
duced to go barefooted in the summer,
as the rest of the boys had to do. He
smoked 10-cent cigars before he was 6
years old, while others boys were satisfied
with grapevine.
At 10, he wore high standing collars
and plug hat, and the nobbiest suit
that the tailor could make. He carried
a nattY little cane, parted his hair in the
middle, and sported an eye glass. He
drank brandy, ponying up 25 cents
drink for it, and spoke of his father as
tho governor, and his mother as ''the
old woman" He was regular patron
of the opera, which he pronounced "Aw,
dcused fine, you knaw," and never miss
ed the theater matinee.
At an age when boys are usually at
school, this young prodigal was hanging
around bars and billiard saloons, learn
ing those lessons in vice and vulgarity
which fitted him for the companionship
he was to seek when he came into his es-
tate. If they had Sunday night theaters
in tliose days, the lad was undoubtedly
regular attendant. And his father prob
ably had numerous livery bills to pay
for his Sunday riding. No horse-race
came off without that young reprobate
being seen on the track, hat on one side
of his empty head, and cigar in his
mouth, making bets with the grown-up
and otherwise gray-headed infants around
him. And he probably never missed
chicken dispute or prize fight that was
anywhere within reach.
We have all seen such boys, and we
know they never come to any good.
There is responsibility at home for
their conduct, frequently, that is apt to
be overlooked. A father too much en-
crossed in business, or mother too ab-
sorbed in fashion and society TO heed
what their boy is doing. or what COM
pany he keeps. Or if his peccadillos are
brought to their attention by some friend
of the family, who doesn't get any thanks
for it, they are only smiled at and passed
by as the natural outbursts of O somewhat
exuberant nature.
While we have admired the cordial re-
ception which his parents gave the Prod
igal Son on his return as tramp, and
cannot speak too highly of their iberali-
ty in Staying the pampered bovine to
celebrate the event, yet we have always
felt there must have been something
lacking in the way they brought the
young man up, or he wouldn't have turn
ed out as he did. But if they could for
give the p. s. we have no business to
colnplain.

A COWS LOVE FOR A SNAKE.

Ogdensburg, N. Y.,l Advance: Geo.
A. Judson, of Black Lake, has a COW
which formerly had been an excellent
mixer. Lately the animal has given a
much less quantity, and her udder be-
came caked and her leg swollen. One
night last week she did not return with
the other cows, and search was made for
her, but without success that night. The
next morning the hired man started out
to look for her. Afterwards he found
her and lying coiled near her was q huge
snake, Gas large as a fence stake" the
man graphically explained. The COW
was tied up for day or two, and then
turned loose again. That night she did
not appear but the next morning she
came around, but MIXED dry. This is a
strange case of affection between the COW
and his snakeship.

THE GUARDIAN.
SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has burden for every mans shoulder,
Some may escape from its trouble and
care;
Miss it In youth and twill come when were
older,
And fit us as close as the garments we
wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvt"d,
Robbing our hearts of their treasures OF
song;
Lovers grow cold and friendships are
slghted,
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though povertys cottage ard crust We
may share:
Weak is the back on which burdens are
pressing,
But stout is the heart that is strength
enrd by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter
Just when we mourn there were none to
befriend;
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
lighter,
Aud somehow OF other We get To the end.

They are sweet. Ike the bees fresh honey.
Like the bees they have terrible stIngs.
They can bless, like the warm, glad sun

They can cut, in the strife of anger
Like an open two-cdgcd knife.
Let them pass through your lip- uuchal-

Ii their GRAND il true and kind;
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort aud help the blind;
If bitter, revengrful spirit
Prompts the words, let them be- unsaid;
They may flash through brain like light
ming,
Or fall on heart like lead.
Keep them back, if they are cold and cruel
Under bar, and lock. aud seal
The wounds they make, my darliugs,
Are always slow 70 heal.
May peace guard your lives, and ever,
From this time of your early youth,
May the words that YOU daily utter
