sisted by generous supply OF wine.
At the conclusion Of the dinner proper
champagne was introduced and under
the ameliorating influence Of this gen.
erous tipple, tongues were looeed and
ideas quickened, resulting in the pro-
verbal feast Of reason and flow of
song. Much was said and done that
was worth chronicling for the edifica-
ton of future generations, but events
followed each so quick on the heels Of
the other, aud the mind was so quickly
diverted from sense to nonsense that
general effect was Kaleidoscope, pro-
ductive, after the manner OF that Won
deriul toy, of many beautiful but inde-
scribable effects. Olives were served
with the wine and nothing occurred
to disturb the hilarity OF the occasion.
Out of the multiplicity of after dinner
events II is more particularly remem-
bered that Mr.. Weirick delivered a
shoit uuutcbs ou thc SohtiaStsch VI VIZ

equally enjoyable to her. When the

No pen but the recording Angels
is able truthfully to portray the sor-
row that is inflicted upon loving
hearts by this internal habit of drink
ing stimulants. No class is so high
IN the social scale that it is not drag
ged down by it, and no class is so
poor and degraded that it is not
made more inhuman and miserable
by it. A drunken parent bestows a
curse upon his offspring, even to the
third and fourth generation. Sci
ence shows how vice of any kind vi
tiates the blood, and although it may
skip one generation, it is certain to
crop out farther down the stream. A
dead drunkard often reaches out his
hand from the grave, and, with his
skeleton finger, palsies the brain of
his descendants, and sends them like
so many jabbering idiots to the in
sane asylum to be supported by char
lily.

BOYS TO BE PROUD OF.

Two bright little boys of Barlow,
on the Sound, have won for them
selves the deserved commendation
of their old and young friends by
display of courage and intelligence.
The whole village does nothing but
talk about the heroism of the young
sters VINO recently saved their father,
George Rahtjens, from death by
drowning.
The boys are named Walter and
George, and are respectively ten and
twelve years of age. The family
have lived in neat cottage near the
waters edge since last year, and the
boys have this summer learned to
swim. Walter, the younger, is
smart lad, but in appearance is not
more than six. Sunday morning,
Mr.. Rahtjens went down to the beach
for bath. He took the boys with
him, and together they Invested them
selves of their clothing, leaving it in
boat, which they had hauled off
some distance from land. George
took the first header, and then swan
ashore.
Mr.. Rahtjens jumped from the
boat, but had no sooner struck the
water than he was seized with a
cramp and sank. After what seemed
to him an interminable period he rose
to the surface. For some reason he
was unable to shout. A second time
he went down and then came up, and
this time he called Justify for help.
The natural impulse of a small boy
would be to run for help. Not so
with the ten-year-old son. Into the
water he plunged without moments
hesitation. He swan to his father,
who was once more sinking. Catch
ing him under the chin with one hand
the little hero put the other around
the exhausted mans neck and kicked
with his feet to keep them afioat. Not
far behind him was his brother George
who struck out from the shore at the
| first cry of distress, George took
hold of the fathers arm.
Mr.. Rahtjens said he had te
exert all his will power to refrain
from clutching the boys and dragging
them down to their death.
i Not word was spoken. Valian
little Walter, with tears cours
ing down his cheeks, did his utmos
to keep his fathers head above water
while the older son, his teeth hare
set, struggled vigorously to tow hin
ashore.
Mrs. Rahtjens was tending th
. baby in her parlor when she hear
the cry Of her husband. Leaving tn
child on the floor, she ran to shore
and stood wringing her hands, terriie
beyond speech. Five minutes drag
!, ged their slow length along befor
the boys reached land with their bun
den. A little family thanksgivin
took place right there. The youn
life savers have borne their honor
, lightly. They seem to think the
deed the most natural one in tn
world. -NeU York Herald.

"Then think of your duties to your

Ask yourself how many you have
made unhappy. Have you spoken
cross words to them? Have you
been angry or illnatured? Have you
deceived them? What hard thoughts

So difficult is it to restrain the APP
petite of men, and so hard is the
task of overcoming the avarice of
unprincipled creatures who for mon
ey will bring sorrow into families,
ruin to the dram drinker, and damna-
ton to the souls of their victims,
that it is hard to stop the sale and
use of liquors. Good temperance
people turn from moral suasion to
the force Of the law, from license to
prohibition, from local option to
closed shops-every way to find
something to put stop to the rum
ruin in their communities. Really
it is hard war, but steady, valiant
opposition, constant and hard, will
do much toward driving the enemy
out of our communities and into dis
may.

head of the OK before him, and laid
it quivering at the affairs front, we

sturdy blows from sturdy arms back
