will carry to his last day. The youth
was beastly drunk, and as that was q
condition he ha6 managed to exist in for
many months previous to his accident,
there were those who somewhat hastily
said that it would not have been entirely
regretiable if his injuries had been suffi
| cient to stop his breath. He was picked
up from the sidewalk when he fell and
an ambulance was called. For two
weeks he lay in the hospital. One day a
young woman of much loneliness of
face, but slight elegance of attire, passed
through the ward where he lay to visit
her brother, who occupied bed near to
the inebrlate. The first look at her had
q strange effect upon him, and in his
weakness and deplorable nervous demor-
alization he begged to have the girl
speak to him. At first his request was
refused, but the brother, hearing his
pitiful pleadings, directed that his sister
should go to him. the moment the
pretty girl stood at his bedside the young
man became as quiet as child, fixing
his eyes on her face and speaking not
word. She sat down silently near him
and he looked at her Increasingly. She
spoke after awhile but he did not see N
inclined to talk, and so she remained
quiet again. When she departed
he seemed immeasurably grleved,
his wildness of manner re-
turning. Each day the girl came to.
see her brother, and on these occasions
she sat down at the others bedside pa
tiently and sweetly. This continued for
a number of days, and then the young
man was able to go to his home. The
outcome Of this episode is worth relating,
and though it may seem superlatively ro-
mantle, it is nevertheless wholly true.
Six months after his accident at his club
door, the young society man married the
girl that had visited him in the hospital.
She had never seen him under the infiu-
eRoe of liquor. and has not to this day.
He had already won back the respect of
his former friends, and the trust of his
family, by an upright and ambitious
method of living, seldom met with in one
of his years He is peculiar to-day in
but one regard, and that wins him no
enemies He is continually advising the
other fellows that he knows to get mar
ried.
''You will know the girl that belongs
TO you the moment you see her face, -
he declares, 'and tell you what it is,
my boy, that girl can take the place of
everything else in this world. A drunk

do likewise, old man, and if you draw

From all 1 hear this youth has driven
full dozen men i7to matrimony that
never had thought of it until they saw
how it transformed him.

LANGUAGE OF THE FUTURE.

Prominently the language of the future will
be the English, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
1t is stalwars language because it is the mother
tongue of two stalwart and one long-lived ma
tions, Its rudimentary idioms were in use at
The founding of London, forty years subsequent
to the crucifxion of Christ.
Its vitality is in direct ratio with the vitality
of its parent nation. The restless enterprise Of
English exploration has carried the language,
with its flag. around the world; Nellie Bly,
speaking her native tongue, can be understeqG
in every port and every nation embraced in hsy
English language has broken down the barriers
of old time customs of diplomacy. To American
influence is due discardins French at the Sa-
moan conference at Berlin and the adoption, for
the first time, of English in International dis
cussion.
During the period of Rome's fall fruitage of
supremacy, before political decay attacked the
empire, Latin was the universal language of a
limited world. The early English dramatists
wrote in a language known to but 6, 0OO, goo, and
Jefferson's inaugural address could have been
read by but 16, 600, 900 people. At the latter
period French was the language of from 30, OOO,-
600 to so, 900, 600 people. Fifty years ago the
German language was in as great favor numer-
ically as the English.
Not so to-day. To German is accorded a
speaking clientele of 60. 000, 900; to French, 45,
600, 900; to English, no, 600 900. Should ever
