An incident recently came under NV
notice which so plainly illustrates the
practical effects of bad reading upon
susceptible boys, that | thought it
should be given to the public for warn
ing and admOnitiou. The following
letter was in the pastors mail:
"My Dear PastOr-Will you please
call at once to see my boy, who is very
sick indeed, and oblige an anxious
mother"
OfcOurse l responded and dro We at
the earliest possible opportunity to the
the parish. The father met me at the
door with the remark:
''fm glad that you've come. 1t is
Tom that's sick. He's a little better
now, but pretty sick boy he's been y
| was ushered into the room where
he lay on the bed in an uneasy doze.
The mother came in and welcomed me
as an anxious Christian mother will
always welcome y minister of God to
the sick chamber. While waiting for
the sick boy to wake, the parents in
subdued tones and with aching hearts
told the pathetic story.
/ knew that Tom had been away
from home for several months, but did
not know the circumstances of his de-
parture, nor had | learned of his re-
turn. 1t seems that for some months
previous to his leaving home, he clan
destinely read many of the perniciOus
dime novels and the sensational story
papers. Another boy in the neighbor-
hood, whom we will call John, had
been reading such trash, and he had
unceremOniOusly left his home to be-
come, rs he called it, "a tough" and
to make his mark in the world. He
did become Il tough fellow in the liter
al sense of the term in the slums of the
metropolis, had shifted from one thing
to another until his watchful father
found him out, adroitly cornered him
and brought him back home.
The highly spiced stories of adven-
ture and bloOdshed and hair breadth
escapes, which Tom eagerly devoured,
began to work upon him in making
him discontinued with home and pa
rental restraint. This was enhanced
by the baneful influences of John, who
:.ad a taste of the forbidden, and was
depraved enough to- banker for more,
and to declare that he wonld "out-
general the old captain yet and be
found minus around home," and that
soon he'd "be on the war-path west
ward bOI"
One morning Tom did not come
down To breakfast as usual. After
a while his mother went to his room
and knocked, with no response. Anx-

Thought War Times Had Come
Back.

A number of Washington bicyclists
took long run over the Maryland
roads the other morning. They dis
mounted at the top of Il hill and, stack
ing their machines, took easy positions
at the side of the road. Soon one of
the party noticed a couple of objects
moving mysteriously among the trees
and bushes alongside the road some
distance off. Judging from their move
ments they did not wish to be seen,
but AS they drew nearer they were rec
ognized as colored men. Just before
reaching the reclining wheelsmen they
emerged upon the road and were pass

one of the party sang out "What was

Court is final settlement of the currency

The Evening Telegram's Washington spec
ial says: "There is high authority that the
formal offer and assurance of an important
cabinet position has been given General But
Ter by Blaine as an inducement to him to run
as an Independent candidate for President
The offer was made at General Buffers house
in Washington. Blaines friends instead of
being confident of his success belevesthe only
real hope he has is in the detection Of a sufh-
cient number of voters from Cleveand's ranks
and they look to Butler to produce this result
The democrates now see thcv made an enor-
nous error in allowing Gen. Butler to come
into their convention at all. Butler has a
complete understanding with Blaine and the
republican leaders. There can be no doubt
of that"
