sT hear that Smith has sold out his

aged men. who sat slipping their beer and
eating a bit of cheese in Smithfeld
street saloon last Friday night.
eyes" responded the other, rather
slowly.
"What was the reason7 thought he
was just coming money there"
The other nibblcd o cracker abstract
edly for o moment aud then said: 'It's
rather funny story. Smith, You know,
lives on Mount Washington, right near
me, where he has an excellent wife, a
nice home and three as pretty children as
ever played out doors. All boys, you
know, the oldest not over nine, and all
about the same size. Smith is pretty
respectable sort of citizen, nevc: drinks
or CANDLES, and thinks the world of his
family.
"Well, he went home one afternoon
last week and found his wife out shop
ping or something of that sort. He went
on through the house into the back yard,
and there, under an apple tree, were the
little fellows playing. They had a bench
and some bottles and tumblers and wer,
playing keep saloon He noticed that
they were drinking something out of a
pail, and that they acted tipsy. The
youngest, who was behind the bar, had
towel tied around his waist, and was
setting the drinks up pretty free. Smith
walked over and looked in the phil. 1t
was beer, and two of the boys were so
drunk that they staggered. A neighbor's
boy, couple of years older, lay behind
the tree.
"My God, boys, you must not drink
that he said, as he lifted the six-ycar-
old from behind the bench.
"'Wc's playin' s'loon, papa, an I was
sellin' it just like you,' said the little
fellow. Smith poured out the beer, car
ricd the drunken boy home and then took
his own boys in and put them to bed.
When his wife came back she found him
crying like child. lie came back down
town that night and sold out his business
and says he will never sell or drink an
other drop of liquor. His wife told
mine about it, and she broke down cry

not Smith. .-Pittsbury Dispatch.

Beer Made the Driver Sleepy.

loceF IIIc SiSSPJ'
In one of the cast side streets the other
day I saw big brewery wagon come
rumblng around corner with load OF
empty kegs on board and two fat, sleepy
men dressed in blue dungaree jackets on
the drivers seat There was swarm OF
children in the street, as there always is
in east side streets, but the driver did
nothing to check the heavy trot of the
big team of horses. The children
screamed and ran as the horses loomcd
! above them, and all escaped except one
blue eyed, white skinned little toddler
who stepped on the pavement ard fell
under the big wheels. A harsh, rough
sound that was half scream and half a
moan rose from half hundred threats in
the neighborhood. A big brown-w whisk-
cred man in a red shirt ran out and
picked the lifeless little body off the
pavement, while young woman in a
calico dress threw up her hands and fell
in dead faint in the doorway of s,little
grocery. The wagon driver had stopped
his wagon and looked around in an indif-
ferent way at the man with the dead
child, but soon touched up the horses, in
tending to 60 on. There was yell from
the crowd again, and a dozen men sprang
for the horses heads. The two men on
the drivers seat settled back under their
awning at that and gazed vacantly at the
gesticulating crowd that surged around
them thrcatingly. Then the policeman
came and walked away with the driver,
leaving the team to be driven away by
the other man.
There was not line in the papers
about the case next morning. I asked
reporter, who was at the court before
which the driver was arraigned, why
this was so. He said: "The child was
not dead as you supposed. 1t will die,
though, for both legs were crushed. It
happens so frequently that there is no
news in such a case. The driver was
sleepy from beer; that was all."
Here was o plain statement of truth.
Children are run over by the sleepy
drivers of brewers wagons so often that
the fact has become stale as news. The
children are usually killed. Two court
reporters told ME that not less than ten
children are killed every year in this
city by beer wagons, but neither could
remember q case in which driver had
been punished for his careless driving
beyond few hours imprisonment while
waiting for the brewer to bail him out.
This seems to be incredible, but I be-
licve it to be true. There is no redress
for children murdered in this way. -

ANOTHER language myth is destroyed
in the statement of o translator that
the Russian is a very easy language to
acquire. He strengthens his opinion
with the explanation that the verbs are
comparatively regular and have but
three lenses, while the conditional mood
is indicated by particle "bui." The
language is not so difficult IS its collec-
ton of consonants, so curious to .
foreigner, might seem.

The French colony OF Los Angeles has
been strongly displeased to see the name
of their compatriot, Mr.. Demousset,
stricken from the roll Of police officers.
1t is not necessary to recall the services
that our compatriot has rendered in
many circumstances when he was on
duty. Nobody ignores the peculiar cool
blood that he showed in recent brawl
and in which he had his clothes torn to
pieces. 1t is evident that if he had used
his strength instead of using moderation,
he would have annihilated his adversary.
In consequence of this incident many of
his friends advised him to make petit
tion to obtain reimbursement for the
torn clothes, but he preferred to make a
sacrifice of them, Notwithstanding his
numerous family of six children, of
whom two are cripples, and whom he
has to support. A fact that attracted
public attention was to see Demousset
brought before the court and honorably
acquitted for having heavily shaken two
Cinnamon who pretended to take away
cunningly and with force, for second
time, young girl of his nationality. He
delivered the unfortunate girl from the
voracities of these Chinese vampires. AT
that result he was heaped with felicita-
tions by all friends of order. Remark
that since, in spite of the heavy charge
of his family, he has taken that child
under his protection. We attribute his
discharge to the fact that our estimable
compatriot processes political convictions
that he don't fear to proclaim publicly
We hope that he will soon have his EN-
ployment again that has been SO sud
denly taken away from him.-Le Pro

card From superintendent

HIIHN0ns
EDIroR HERALD.-The communica-
tion Of zone Of the Critics" which ap-
peared in yesterday mornings HERALD.
contains some statements in regard TO
the duties Of the County Superintendent
which are not fully in accordance with
the facts. The writer acknowledges
that there is no law requiring the City
Superintendent to hold teachers cer-
tificate. Mr.. Friesner was elected City
Superintendent 1t was therefore not
my duty TO require q certificate of him.
Whether there was sufficient authority
for his election as City Superintendent or
not, was not within my province to in-
quire. Allow me, however, to call at
tention to the fact that four years ago a
gentleman, who was not then nor ever
had been a teacher OF the city schools,
was elected City superintendent. No
question was ever raised as to the legali-
ty OF his election.
Ali State and county moneys appor-
toned by me to the city schools, are
turned over to the City Treasurer, and
are paid out by him upon warrants
drawn by the City Board Of Education :.
Since these funds have passed from my
control, the charge of connivance ON my
part with respect to their disposition, Is
an absurdity. Mr.. F'riesner appeared
before the County Board of Education
as an applicant for certificate, and was
examined in the same manner as other
applicants. All papers Of the examina-
tion are on file in my office, subject to
the inspection Of the proper authorities.
The writer's final insinuation Of collu-
sion in the examination is cowardly, and
is a malicious attempt to take advantage
of baseless rumor.
