BOB HAMILL'S BIG TUMBLE,
Nevada's Ant. Treating Apostle on a
Bender"

Special to the New York Morning Journal.
WELLS, New, April IS the tem-
perance people ale discounted, and
the men who drink brth before and
behind the bar sr- laughing to-day
over Rob Hamill's fall from grace,
and the prediction II told you ST !" is
heard in every bar-roum in the State.
Mr.. Hamill's battle for the aus Of
Temperance is an interesting story.
4 year or so ago Bob Hamill, as he
is f.mi.ia:ly called, was a hard
drinker. His great weakness was
treating.
"Come and have a drink, pard,"
were the words constantly upon his
lips, and all the tramps in town
Looked upon Mr.. Hamill as a public
benefacior who never went back on
the poor. Several saloon-keeIerS
grew wealthy through his generos-
| lty, and Went back East t., buy firms,
prociaiming that "'Bob' Hamill was
the whitast man in Nevada
Six months ago a great change took
place in Mr.. HamilI. He suddenly
became convinced that the p%raclicesf
"treating' was the root of all evil,
and he began a war against it, the
effect Of which probably surprised
even himself"
Most OF the tramps left town when
they discovered that Bob Hamill had
shut down On "setrng 'em up f,r
the boys" and they predicted that a
lunatIc asylum would claim their
former friend before many days.
Mr.. Hamill dropped ali other bust
ness in order to attend to mis- new
departure. He organized a crusade
against ''treating" and framed a law
and made it very hard on men who
wanted to ask their friends 10 ''have
something"
man to have a drink confinement in
the county Jail for not owe thrt e
months and after u long siege by
the tempera ice element the Legisla-
ture passed the bill.
Tnen Mr.. Hamill was happy. He
went arou.d looking Tor infringe
ments of the law, and the hunted

people is due TO their + ar of Icing

Commercial travellers were Mr.. !
HamllPs particular prey. Most of
them did not know about tie law,
and when they sold u merchant a
bill of goods their first inquiry would
be "WhatIl you have?!'

would be filled with choice samples |
of Eastern profanity. Many people |

Mr.. Hamill astonished the town
yesterday. Half a dozen men sat |
around the bar-room of the Wells
House and wishing for the good old
times when Bob HamilI reeled in, |
pounded the Lar with his fist and
shouted:
"Set 'em up, bows. Have one
with me! Set 'em up for the crowd,
The crowd accepted the invitation.

Six affidavits were sworn QUO against |

he Was SEN to Jail for ore month on

but the saloen-keepers are happy, !
and the tlamps are expected back
when they hear that d" Bob is off his

Susceptibility to Bee Poison.

At the late convention Of Beekeep-
ers in Chicago, the question of sus-
ceptibility to bee poison from being
stung, was discussed at some length.
An incident of recent occurrence was
mentioned where a lady Gas stung
just over the eye. She applied spirits
of camphor to the spot for the pur-
pose of relieving the pain. but ii had
the opposite effect and in a few hours
she died of commissions. Whereupvn

are stung. the less susceptible we he

How to Send Children to Bed.

Send the little ones TO bed in a happy
frame of mind. 1t requires some dis
cipline and self-denial on the part of a
weary parent to answer all the foolish
questions and attend to the many wants
that multiply SO fast as the hour of bed
time draws near. but it is labor Of
love that will bring large recompense.
Children never forget. They will carry
with them through life's long, weary
pilgrimage, the remembrance of the
face that bent over them at night. and
that was ever associated in their imma-
ture minds with Heaven and God. And
the little tiresome last questions mean
SO much to them. What if we should
not answer them and they never awake
here. Unanswered questions and I'M
answered problems have followed men
and women through life with harrow
ing persistence. And never give a
thoughtless answer to a child's question.
