ST. LOUIS, May 2O.-At the Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South to-day a
committee reported:
We are convinced that II any more adj
vanced position is possible to take than the
one which the Methodist Episcopal Church
occupies to-day upon the question Of temper
ance our membership should get ready at
once to take it. We are emphatcally a prohi-
billion church. We stand out squarely for the
complete suppression OF the liuuor traffic. We
offer no compromise to and seek no terms from
a sin Of this henous quality.
Our inquiries developed the gratifying fact
that In most sections there il very little drink
ing among our membership. For the most
part our church members throw tho full weight
against licensing the liquor traffic.

All day through we were together. Then

we would walk together in the garden

did not feel well, Stella would read, and
when this was done Mr.. Carson would

what they consider ideas. He was in
love with Bohemianism. And Bohe-
mianism meant to him, as it does to SO
many, the writing of verses, the drink
ing of much tipple, the ignoring of regu-
larity in all the habits of life and the
constant association with other similarly
misguided youth. Bowers thought he
could write verses. and had learned with
what facility he could do all the rest.
Bowers kept along, doing his work
fairly well, but never rising above me-
diocrity, and managing by several mar
row shaves to escape the dismissal that
might perhaps have made man Of him,
when one day he had the luck to make
the acquaintance of an adventures.
1t was as bitter bad a chapter for Bow
ers as it could easily be, for he fell in
love with her, or thought he did, in
manly, honorable fashion and wanted
her to marry him. Bohemianism even
of his type doesn't kill that impulse in
the first year or two. Fortunately for
him the woman was not in marrying
| mood just then, or if she was she dared
not, for two of her husbands were in the
city watching her very closely. OF
course Bowers knew nothing Of that.
She told him she was a widow. It
amused her, suppose, to play with the
boys feelings. She was young enough,
perhaps, to take pleasure in vain imagin-
ing, for she was only thirty or forty
years older than he, having been born
five years earlier than he was. Natural
ly she had no good influence whatever

Young Bowers looked at me in con-
fused way. "What do you meant" he
demanded.
81 mean I have played you trick. /
sent the telegram to rouse you from"
And then went on and preached the
first and last Thanksgiving sermon !
ever delivered.
Young Bowers listened in silence.
When l was through he said, ."Thank
you, old man." As he shook my hand ]
knew I had said enough.
When he had yielded to his mothers
pleading, and had promised to stay at
home instead of going back to the big
city. the Bowers family was the happiest
one on Cape Cod. He admitted, with a
blush that l honored him for, that his
mother was right in thinking that news
paper work was too severe for his health,
and no one mistrusted that dissipation
and not work had paled his cheeks.
And the prayer and praise Of that
Thanksgiving day were as wonderful as
the feast of turkey and pie and all Of
natures bounties that l enjoyed as
never enjoyed feast before.
And if Peters friend does not take his
Thanksgiving dinner in that house every
year it is because he can't get there
There is always chair set for him.

BOWERS CAME IN DRUNK.

over him, and equally in the natural
course of things he thought she was
everything that was bright and beautiful.
One afternoon the news came into the
Office that noted man about town had
been shot by this woman. Bowers hap
pened to hear it spoken Of, as he was
standing near the city editors desk while
that official was instructing another re-
porter to work up the case"
He turned very white, but spoke
quietly enough. 81 know her very
well, he said, and he was wise beyond
what was to be expected, for he did not
say "the lady," as he wanted to. If he
had the city editor would have mistrust-
ed him instead Of saying, "Then You
take the detail, Bowers; and, Filkins,
you see the mayor about that deadlock
in the police commission" which was
exactly what Bowers wanted.
He said every well, sir" and started
out. It was early when he went, and
he should have been back with his story
by 10 o'clock, but he wasn't.
At half-past 10 the city editor called
| me up. He used to come in of an even
ing very often, though his day was over
at O'CLOCK, when the night city editor
came on. ~ am getting nervous about
Bowers" he said. "Do you know how
well he knows that woman? have a
feeling that l ought not to have given
him that detail"
81 guess it's all right" said I, though
had the same feeling; but he continued
":Don't go away. If he doesn't come in
by II you will have to go and coyel
the story" 80
In a few minutes Bowers came il

had ever offended so grievously, and ou1
amazement was great when it transpired
that he was unable to write or even Il
tell his story,

cessity for getting back to the city at
once, but such look of pain came in the
gentle face that wayered and gave up.
One sneaking thing did. There was
much telegraphing to do yet about the
wreck, and of course was busy all day.
But before any copy went to the paper a
short dispatch went to the prodigal son.
It read, "Come home at once if you want
to see your mother alive" and it was
signed Peter Bowers. That would bring
him if anything would. And told the
old people that probably young Peter
was intending to give them surprise.
That was why he had not written.
cit wouldn't be much Of surprise to
see him come home for Thanksgiving"
said his mother smiling, but the wistfu]
longing and doubt in her sweet eyes told
q different story.
So we went to the old farm house, and
as knelt with the family at their even
ing prayer, and listened to the earnest
eloquence Of the old man praying for
the youngest son to be preserved from
the temptations of a great city, shud-
dered to think what sorrow could have
brought them by telling the truth.
Next day l drove over to the village
and attended to what business l had
left, which was little, for the sensation
was over. Then I went to meet the
train on which l hoped to find young
Bowers. He was there, and l, forgetting
for the moment that he did not expect
to see me, was surprised when he passed
me with slight nod. hurried after
him, though, and caught his arm.
Don't detain me-" said he, my mo-
Their is dying" And was very glad to
see the pain in his eyes. He was not
really bad.
