WHERE AN [ GOING?

One summer evening as the sun was
going down, a man was seen trying to
make his way through the lanes and
cross roads that led to his village
home. His unsteady way of walking
showed that he had been drinking;
and though he had lived in that village
more than thirty years, he was now SO
drunk that it was impossible for him
to find his way home.
Quite unable to tell where he was,
he at last uttered a great oath, and
said to person going by, owe lost
my way. Where am l going?'' The
man thus addressed was an earnest
Christian. He knew the poor drunk
ard very well, and pitied him greatly.
When he heard the inquiry, "Where
am I going?" in a quiet, sad, solemn
way he answered, ''To rum!" The
poor staggering man stared at him
wildly for a moment, and then muir
INJURED with a groan, ''That is So"
"Come with me,'' said the other
kindly, ''and will take you home"
The next day came. The effect of
drink had passed away, but those two
little words, tenderly and lovingly
spoken to him, did not pass away.
"To rum! To rum!" he kept whisper
ing to himself. cit is true, I am 60
ing to rum! o, God, help me, save
me!'
Thus he was stopped on his way to
rum. By earnest prayer to God he
sought the grace that made him a
true Christian. His feet were estab-
ished on a rock. 1t was a rock, enough
to reach that poor misguided drunk
ard, and lifted him up from his
wretchedness, and made a useful, hap
py man of him.-C biIdren's Paper.

WISE WORDS.
No mans life can be right whose
love is wrong.
If a man is worth knowing at all, he
is worth knowing well.
If you want to believe that man is
your friend, never ask him to prove it.
Circumstances are beyond the con-
troll of man; but his conduct is in his
own power.
OF every mean man it is usually
said, as an apology to humanity, that
he has good wife.
There is no culture out of work.
The world has not great places enough
for all its great people.
Charity, in whatever guise she ap-
pears, is the best natured and the best
complexioned thing in the world.
Fear not them that can kill the body,
but fear him, the demon ofselfishness,
laziness, which can kill both body and
soul.
Every man feels instinctively that
all the beautiful sentiments in the
world weigh less than single lovely
action.
Amiableness is the object of love,
the scope and end is to obtain it, for
whose sake we love, and which our
mind covets to enjoy.
Experience is a safe light to walk
by, and he is not rash man who ex-
poets to succeed in future from the
same means which have secured it in
the time past.

English children are so much NOR,

English children are so much more
childish than ours" said an American
mother once. II wonder why it is"
1t is undoubtedly because they are
kept in the nursery and do not come
into prominence at SO early an age
as ours do. The other day in a hotel
rotunda stood a round eyed darling
with her short, golden hair fluffed
around her winsome face; her short
wasted, long-skirted frock added to
her picturesque appearance. Almost
all the men passing by stopped to
speak to her. She was the delighted
recipient of nickels, cards and bon
bons, while she coquetted with all the
airs of a society girl. My heart ached,
for she was getting all the sweet,
downy freshness of childhood rubbed
off so early.
Her father, standing near, encourag-
her and laughed at her naive questions
and replies. By and by the white cap
ped nurse came on the scene and bore
her child away; and she, loath to leave
the scene of her conquests, made her
exit, biting, kicking and scratch
ing her nurse, while the men laughed
heartily at this edifying spectacle.
There are some wise mothers who
discourage and endeavor to suppress
this precocity, but they are lamenta-
bly, few in number.

You've no idea how nicely Hoods Sarsapa-

tired OUT or ''run down. from any cause.
1t seems to oil up the whole mechanism of the
body so that all moves smoothly and work
becomes positive delight. Be sure to get
Hoods.
Hoods Pills act especially upon the liver,
rousing it from torpidity to its naturally du
ties, cure constipation and assist digestion.
One should be very tender in ones
handling of the skeletons in other
peoples closets. Whenever you en-
ter house, no matter how handsome
or how cheerful it is, be assured that
the closet and the skeleton are there.
Do not only be content to not drag
the skeleton out, but steer clear
of it, go around it. If you hear its
bones clanking, shut your ears; if
some thoughtless or cruel hand tears
the door open, shut your eyes.
To the people in that house that
skeleton is a living sorrow, daily
horror, and seldom is it their fault
that it is there. However young you
may be, however good you may be,
however pure may be the atmosphere
of your house, there is a little secret
closet in it; and you don't like to
think that any one save God knows
what is in it. When you are in other
peoples houses, remember the closet
and its grim occupant in your own
house.

STRIFE IN HIS PARTY.
Speaker Crisp's Task Daily Becom-
Ing More Difficult.
HE IS CONFINED TO HIS ROOM.
The Mills 105 Disposed to be Cold. Repel-
liant and Hostiie--stin HsIlooing About
Grover eysiand - Threats Of some
Members.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Speaker Crisp is
confined to his room by severe cold, and
is therefore unable to make much head
way with his'task of committee making.
He was able to see few Democratic Rep
resentatives who called at his hotel, how
ever, and from them he learned something
about their preferences. IL he is able to go
to the Capitol tomorrow he will probably
announce the appointment Of the Commit
tee on Rules. The composition of this
committee will throw no light, however,
on the probable selections for chairman
and other members of the Committee on
Ways and Means or the Committee on APP
preparations.
The truth is that none of his predeces-
sors, on taking Office, found himself SO
beset and menaced by hostile influences
and feelings among members OF his own
party as Speaker Crisp is. He can expect
no friendly aid or advice from a large ma
jority Of the los Democrats who supported
and voted for Col. Mills, and even some of
the men who voted for him, because they
lacked the courage or independence to do
otherwise, are so strong in their sympathy
for Mills in his defeat, which they heartily
deplore, that they hold aloof from the
Speaker in the cold, repellant attitude Of
hostile critics. While ii is true that few
of the Texans friends and supporters
begin to show a disposition Ito accept the
situation" and make the best of IL, large
! majority of them continue to occupy an
attitude of hostile observation.
A representative, who is a strong friend
of Mr.. Mills, said to friend: "lf place
on the committee upon which / have
served is offered me shall try to find out
what other men are to be members of it
before | consent to accept" Several DEM
ocratic representatives who had hoped to
be members of Ways and Means are said
to have intimated that they will not serve
under Chairman Springer, and others
that they will decline unless Col. Mills
shall be appointed chairman. Probably
Speaker Crisp hears of all such intima-
tions and veiled threats, and they do not
serve to relieve his embarrassment or
mollify his resentment which he must
naturally feel against some OF the MEM
bers of his own party, who have inspired
or circulated grave accusations against
him.
A New York representative who sup
ported Judge Crisp said to-day: IF the
Mills people think they are promoting
the political prospects of Grover Cleve-
land by assuming and maintaining the
attitude which they now occupy toward
Speaker Crisp. they will find themselves
previously mistaken. Why, Cleveland's
friends seem TO think that Judge Crisp
had no right to be elected speaker, and
that his friends ought TO be ashamed of
themselves for supporting and electing
him -

MAYOR SMITHS VIEWS,
How He Regards the Present Act and
tho Corporations.
A FAIR CONTRACT WANTED
The People Are Not in Favor of Competi-
tion. but Want Equitable and AMIGA
BILE Contracts with the Existing Cor
porations.

Mayor Smith was in the City Hall to-
day, although he is not yet well. He
thinks that If the wind stays in the right
direction he will soon be all right.
He was sorry not to be able TO attend the
franchise hearings and commends the first
part of President Andrews remarks, as
read to the committee by GSs. Wilson.
The corporations, he says, have possessfoa
of the streets and the position Of the city
is to say to them: "What are you willing
TO give to be allowed to keep your privi-
leges?'
He has heard of no one who opposes
making contracts, but some have said that
equitable ones could not be made under
the present act. The act relinquishes
none of the citys rights He does not OBJ
ject TO its amendment, provided it is not
destroyed altogether or 40 cut up as to be
yalueless, as will be the case in all proba-
bility il it goes back TO the General Assem-
bly, In regard to the per cent. clause,
he says he regards il as immaterial wheth-
er the revenue of the city comes directly
in that form or whether IL comes from a
provision that rates shall be reduced when
the profits reach a certain amount and
that certain improvements should be made
on the same basis.
He does not think anyone would want to
petitive bids for the franchises, but that
an equitable and amicable bargain with
them would suit the people. Last spring
a resolution was introduced into the City
Council looking toward Offering induce
ments for new corporations to locate in
the city and suggesting the reduction
of water rates to them and freedom from
taxation, which last is not legal How
would il look to outside companies IL
those already established are not equitably
dealt withp The clause in regard to ap-
plication to the Supreme Court does not
give the corporations any power which
they would not have anyway.
The substance OF Mayor Smiths state
ments is that fair contracts Can be made
under the present act, and that if it is sent
to the General Assembly there is chance
{ will be so fixed that the city will
able to get the advantages which il
under the act rs at present drawn.
city is to get large revenue from
the corporations il must make provisions
To protect the public and the corpora
tions from such schemes as the Addicks
