A CHILD BORN DRUNK.
A Jersey Y0ungster in a Perpetual
State of Int0xieati0n.
New York World.

New York World.
The infant son of a well-known
citizen Of Westfeld, N. j :, though
just large enough TO walk aud
talk, appears and acts like an in
toxicated person. A local physi-
clan in conversation with re-
porter gave a history of the case.
1t seems that the parents were
very exemplary young people, ana
began their married life without a
cloud to dim their future. No
one in the town had better habits
than ths young husband, but
some months after his marriage
he lapsed q little from the path of
strict temperance.
One winter evening the man
went from his home ostensibly to
watch with sick member of the
village "lodge." He really visited
Sam Goschalk's tavern. The
trusting wife discovered at nine
o'clock that her husband had for
gotten to purchase meat. A
stormy wind was blowing and the
snow was falling, but as she pass
sd the hotel the sound of mans
voice in song came to her ears.
She listened but moment. There
was no mistaking her husbands
voice, and scarcely knowing what
she did, she looked i'll at the bar
room window and saw her hus-
band there in a state Of beastly
intoxication.
Some time after this little cpl
sode son was born to the parents
"a fine, healthy infant, bright
and comely. Several months la
ter, when the child began to walk
and talk, they took him to the
physician. The little one could
not walk without staggering in q
most un5eemly and ludicrou3
manner, and could not lisp baby
words without strange hiccough
and hesitation. The doctor, aver
ing that ff he had seen such symp-
toms in an adult he should have
pronounced them due to intoxica-
tion and nothing else, with little
difficulty obtained an account of the
unfortunate maternal impression
that provoked the peculiar NAL
ady with which the child is affiict-
ed. No line of medical treatment
could be of use in such q case,
and reluctantly the physician
gave up the infant boy to endure
his strangely miserable life.

THE BRAYEST BATTLE.

The bravest battle ever was foaght.
Shall l tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find il
not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay not with eloquent word or thought,
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her heart
Lo! there is that battlefield.
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song;
NO banner to CLEAN and wave!
But, oh, these battles, they last 50 long
From babyhood to the grave!

THE BLISSFUL NUPrIAL.

One and one make too in all the
arlthmetics in the world save one.
says the Columbus Enquirer. In
the arithmetic of matrimony one
and one make one. Thus there
has been a miracle at every mar
rage that has taken place since
the one in Cana of Galilee. It is
a bright day for any man when a
pure woman says to him, as Ruth
said to Naomi of old, "Whither
thou goest [ will go, where thou
Iodgest [ will lodge; thy people
shall be my people and thy God
my God. The Lord do so unto
me, and more also if aught but
death part thee and me-" A man
contemplating his bride is SOL
emn sight. 1t is the spiritual,
not the animal in him, that brings
a flush to his face and a fullpess
to his throat as he gazes upon her
beiiadona eyes and lollipop lips
and cheeks like rosebuds crushed
In snow. A young man goes down
to his bridal feeling that he is
marching back through the gates
Of that paradise out of which
Adam and Eve were driven 5000
years ago. Aud he is right, for
marriage is the only institution
that escaped the fall. Saint Paul,
the sacred orator Of all the ages
to whom the providence of God
denied the sweets of his holy es-
tate, sat amid his loneliness and
desoIation and sang a pastoral
song in its praise that will live on
and on and on, after the stars
have dropped from their sockets
in the sky like untimely figs from
a tree. When you marry, when
you happily marry, every breeze
is splced and every bird is sing.
ing; every day is d poem, and ev-
cry sunset is picture; and the
future beckons and brightcns at
every turn of the path. Mar
rlage! 1t doubles our joys and
divides our cares, and makes light
to shine within light like the an
gel Of the apocalypse in the sun,
A wife is q good thing and a
sweetheart is a good thing;
but the best Of all is a wife and
sweetheart both in one. God
bless the people who marry.

Don't Monkey With Il Reporter.


A New Orleans bully namel
James Baker attempted to kill
Frank Waters, a reporter on the
City Item, on account of al article
which appeared il that paper, and
got killed himself.
The killing Of Baker adls an
other Illustration to the fact that
has been marked by many in and
out of the profession of Journal
ism. We refer TO the fact that
when the chances are even on
both sides, or whan,as in this case,
the odds are against the journalist,
that nine men out of ten WHO at
tempt to kill a newspaperman get
killed themselves. The good an
gels seem to camp around about
them. Editors are not accustom-
ed to the use of fremans as a rule,
but the statistics of fatal encoun-
ters show that they have a way Of
getting in their work that is as
tonishing to amateurs. Nor is
this so strange after all. If all the
men in the world are on the wrong
side, and there is but one man to
stand up for the right, that lone
man is in the majority. For with
him are leagued the eternal pow
erS.

the Children's Hospital in the
city of c.. just at dusk the
new nurse stopped in her rounds
before one cot, where q poor little
sufferer lay, clasping in his thin
hands q bunch of blue violets.
The little fellow tossed and turned
from side to side; ever and anon
he would start up murmuring
something about Little Jack" "
then fall back whispering, "Too
late, too late, too late"
"Bad case, bad case, nurse; fa-
ther and mother both died of
same fever, baby found dead, and
this boy will go soon;" and the
old doctor shook his mead gravely.
"Poor little fellow" murmured
the nurse. "To die alone, no
mothers hands to wipe away the
gathering dews of death; no moth
er's arms; no mothers kiss!"
She brushed back the deep gol-
den curls from the white fore
head; the blue eyes opened wide
and a faint voice whispered,
Mother" The nurse bent pity
ingly over him, his eyes searching
her face, then closed wearily. ooh,
I want my mother, 1 want my
mother!'' he moaned.
''Poor baby" said the physi-
clan, she will have his mother
SOON"
The child started up, Crock me,
MOTHER" he cried, Very tender
ly the doctor lifted the little figure
and placed it in the nurses arms;
the weary head dropped upon her
shoulder; the hands, still holding
the violets, were folded lovingly
around her neck. To and fro she
Graded him; the room was grow
ing dark, a faint streak of light
camesin at the eastern window and
slipped softly across the ledge.
Sing to me-" the child .whis-
pered; very sweetly on the air
rose and fell the music of that old
hymn:
Glide me, 0, my Savior hide,
Till the storm of life is past.
Nearer and nearer crept the
moonlight till it touched the
swaying figure:
safe into the haven guide;
Q, receive my soul at last"
The song ceased. Mother, I'm
too tired to kneel tonight"
murmured the child, then softly
added, "Now-I--lay me down
to-sleep-I-," with a long sigh
the blue eyes closed tiredly; the
arms slipped down; all was still.
The moonlight flooded the room
with silver; it fingered about the
little white-robed child; it fell up
on the golden curls and half-closed
eye lids; and the withered flowers
fallen loosely now from the tired
hands. There was faint, sweet
perfume of violets as the rocker
crushed to and fro;nothing stirred
in the room saEe the swaying
figure in the moonlight.
The doctor touched the nurse
and gently said: "The child is
with its mother"

The prohibitionists and antis

The wbiskey men were victorious
and in less than ten days thereat-

Atlanta brewery the privilege OF
manufacturing, selling and doliv-
ing beer in the city and to her
citizons. Now the beer wagon IS
seen upon every street, leaving It's
kegs of beer in residences, IN

is a square surrender of the pro-

save me the trouble of describing
it. There they sat alone, Sir
Chawles Gordon and Miss Gene
We've Thompkins, the blue-blood-
ed nobleman and the naughty
New York heiress. You have
read Henry James, reader, and
you think you know what is COM
ing, but l tell you right here you
don't. This establishment has no
connection with any other in the
business. To proceed:
Can 1, dare l hope?" asked the
biue-blooded noblaman.
"Not much, you can't" she re-
piled, coldly.
"What?" he exclaimed, "have
you not given me every encour-
agement? 1 have even written
'omo informing me mother, Lady
Gordon, that l should ere long
return with bride. And Castle
Gordon is being repainted and
shingIed in anticipation of our ar
rival"
That's all right" she said, "but
1 have changed my mind, and
henceforth we can be nothing to
each other. Sabe?"
"Sacre blue!r' cried the noble
man, not to be out done as a I'm
gust. 81 have a rival"
mo no!" moaned the girl iu
sudden alright.
"The Gordons are a vindictiye
race. They never brook an insult.
l will find him and"
"What? what?" walled Gene
We've.
"And I will slap his face-tho
nawsty thing"
Another moment and Sir
Chawles was gone.

Scarcely had the blue -blooded
nobleman vanished when another

was the coachman.
Kneeling at the feet of the
naughty hairess, he breathed
forth impassioned words of love
He proposed an elopement by the
train, a honeymoon in
Second avenue, and a subsequent
return to Papa Thompkins to seek
forgiveness. When he had fin
ished she was silent for q few mo-
mants At Inst she smoke.
And right here, reader, let nae
ask if you don't see just how this
story is goingto end? Of course
you do. The coachman was the
hated rival, wasn't he? And he
aud Genevicye cloped, didn't they?
And they were met at the train
by Sir Cbawles, who rescued the
girl from the clutches of the de-
signing menial, and subsequently
won her for his very own? He
did, did he? That shows all you
know about the modern school of
novel-writing. Listen.
Drawing her-elf up her full
height, Genevieve exclaimed:
"Jim Stokes, you saucy scoun-
drel. l am going right up and tell
paw every word you've said, and
it'll be better for your general
health if you amt found
around here when he gets down.
Do you hear me?''
The menial skipped, and the
next day Mr.. Thompkins was look
ing around for another coachman.
Ea! IL Jim wasn't the rival
why did the girl go back on Sir
Chawles? Reader, you weary
me. 1t was because she had just
received authentic information
that ho was no more of blue
blooded nobleman than you are,
but Just o ven-dollar-a-weok

The distance of the stars from the
earth is so vast, even when compared
with the distances of the various mem
beers of the solar system from the sun,
that the ordinary unit of computation Of
mile or meter is by far too small to be
available. Therefore, in these computa-
tons, as a basis of comparison, the dis
lance of the earth from the sun, about
03, 900, 900 miles, is the unit, and stands
for one. Alpha Centauri, the leading
star in the constellation Of the Centaur,
is the nearest star to the earth, 30 far al
known. Its distance is usually placed
at from 90. 900. 900, 900, 900 to 90, 900, 900,
900, 900 miles from the earth. A stal
called Sixty-one Cygni is classed as sec
ond in distance. being put at "a, $50. 99s,
900. 900 miles distance from u globe.
Most of the stars, however, are mill
ions of times farther away from us thar
these. Light travels about 1S8, 900 miles
in every second of time. and yet will
this inconceivably rapid velocity it would
take light about twelve years 10 traverse
the space separating us from that star,
From the greater portion of the star,
light would be many centuries in reach
ing us. That is to say in these particu'
lar instances, the stars which we see are
not the stars as they exist tonight, but
as they existed before Columbus sailed
on his voyage of discovery, or wen be
fore the creation of Adam.-Globe- Dem,

COLORADO. Brlrhts,. Gem.


Green lake has been fifty called the
brightest gem in Colorado's diadem. 1t
is situated three miles from Georgetown
and is 1000 feet above the level of the
Sea The road to the lake at first winds
along the brow of Leavenworth noun
tain, and in the fair sunlight the mines,
cabins, flowers, Clear creek, Georgetown,
and the many peaks OF the surrounding
mountains made a pleasing picture as
we rode along. After going almost
straight up the mountain for a short dis
lance Green lake burst upon our sight,
and amid rugged gorges, huge boulders
and lofty pines lay spread before us a
scene of exquisite loneliness. 1t is al
most a mile long and just half as wide,
and the water from the shore looks
deeply tinged with dark green; but get
into a boat and glide over it and you
find the water clear and transparent.
The rocks on the bottom are covered
with a messy deposit.
The marvel is, how did such a lake get
here, and another wonder is the green
ness from which the lake takes its name.
The basin that holds it is green, the sand
is green, the moss on the rocks is green,
and even the tiny drops that fall from
the a bear the same unexplainable
tinge, but the water is clear, and in Its
wondrous depths can be seen a buried
forest. with its trees still erect, but pet
rified, and instead OF swaying to the
mountain breeze, stand silent and cold,
as in the embrace of death.-Detroii
