Capt. Drew exclaimed: GO away,
my child; you and your mother
shouldn't meddle in ship affairs;" then
half ashamed of his unmanly conduct
he took the child's plump little and,
and, turning to Bill, said: ''Go forward
to the galley and tell the cook to give
you some grub. You deserve sound
thrashing; but if you'll do your duty
around here I'll let you off this time.
But no snirk ing, mind, or you'll fare
worse next time"
AS he turned to go aft the captain
met his wife's gaze; there was a CRATE
full look in her face, as if to say:
''Thank you for remembering that You
are man and father, and not q
coarse bully"
''Pshaw!' muttered he, whats the

Then he gave the pet dog an impatient
shove with his foot and proceeded to

Capt. Drew had good deal of human
nature in his makeup.
Bill soon found that getting q start
! in the forecastle was rather worse than
being thrashed by his stepfather. He
had to stand lots of rough chaff, hazing
and horseplay from the rough men who
composed the crew. This only stopped
when they saw him manfully take hold
with will and intelligence, ever the
first to spring into the rigging and reef
and furl with the best of them; for he
was large of his age and full of pluck

DR.. BENJAMIN RICHARDSON, of Eng.

physicians assigned to him the task oI
investigating the action of alcohol on
living tissues. He took year for his
experiments and came out a total alb

conscience and controlled his life.

AN OFT-TOLD TALE.
A Brilliant Intellect That Was Destroyo,
bY Drink,

by Drink.
More tragic in it's ending than COM
mon, it was but the same old story.
Some weeks before she sent for me.
had never met her, but they lived near
my church. The children were in the
Sunday school, and she felt she must
make appeal to some one With
streaming eyes and choking voice she
told of their bright outset in life, of the
gradual yielding to temptation, and
then of the present shame and distress.
Some twenty-five years ago he came
to this country bright young theo-
logical graduate. He was soon in the
pastorate of the strongest church of
his denomination in the city. A
splendid structure was soon built, and
there was a rapid increase in mum bers.
He was very companionable and elo-
quent They called him the German
Beecher. He was petted and flattered.
Makers and sellers, as we'll as social
drinkers of liquors, were members of
the church. He was asked and expect
ed to drink with them. Soon the de-
mon of thirst was aroused. Sometimes
he was jolly, then hilarious Occasion
ally he drank to excess. Then they be-
gan to be ashamed of pastor who
could not drink with them and vet re-
main sober. He was forced to resign.
But after a little, SOLDERING up and as
surances that he could now stand firm,
he easily entered the pastorate of
another church in the same city.
Prosperity again came, another
church was built, and the old-time pop
ularity revived. But the same drink
customs continued, and soon the old
appetite ruled Again the shame of
his people forced him from the pulpit;
but, as he retained his credentials as a
minister, and was naturally man of
much social power, he was still in cur
rent demand for funerals, baptisms,
marriages and various semi-religious
and social occasions. Instead of COM
ing to his house, they would stop at
the nearest saloon and send for him,
and ask him to drink with them, while
arranging with him for these services.
Why did this wife tell me all this
and much more? Poor soul! She
hoped the worst was past She thought,
or wanted to think, that he had been
standing firm for a time, and that could
aid him in securing another charge.
But the tragic end was not far off,
Only few weeks later, near Saturday
midnight. after eating and drinking
with a boon companion, he returned
and sat in his own doorway, put to his
brain the revolver he had bought that
day, and SO added to the sin of drunk
enness the crime of suicide.

PREFERRED CREDITOR.

He Certainly Did Como In Ahead Of tn.
Others.
A good story is going the rounds
about a New York merchant who re.
Gently failed for largo amount. He
called all his creditors together and
offered to settle with them for ten cents
on the dollar, giving them his notes,
payable in thirty days
AS most of the creditors had little
hope of getting anything, they eagerly
accepted the proposition. One man,
however, stood out for better terms,
and all efforts to get him to agree were
futile. Finally, the bankrupt took him
out iu the hall and sold:
even you come in an sign NIT de
uddcrs, den make you preferred credi-
tor"
'All right" said the kicker, ''unde1
those circumstances I will agree to a
settlement"
Tho papers were signed and all the
creditors left except the one who had
been told he was to be preferred.
"What are you waiting for?'' said the
man who had failed.
"Why. you said was to be preferred
am waiting to know what I am going
to get"
"Well, tell you-you get notings.' -
Get nothing? Why, you promised
to make me a preferred creditor if
would sign with the rest"
And so you are. I make you pre-.

good deal about ships. The larger part
of somewhat useless boyhood had
thus far been idled away on the old
docks of his native town. What more
natural. then, than that he should now
think of running away to sea?
When Bill got down to the wharf he
saw the ship Golden Fleece getting
ready to sail. Amid the confusion at
tending tho hustle and hurry of depar-
ture it was not difficult for this hopeful
young runaway to slip aboard and con-
ceal himself between decks. But it
was a great risk he was taking, and he
began to realize it when he felt the
ship at last moving down the harbor.
More than once he was on the point of
coming on deck and begging the cap
tain to send him ashore with the pilot
But he was a resolute little fellow, and
having once decided he no longer hesi-
tatcd. He knew what to expect if he
went home; sea life, he thought, could
not be worse. But Bill little knew,
by experience, the hardships of life on
ship.
For the first few hours Bill satisfied
his hunger with few biscuits and
ginger cookies he had bought for two
or three pennies of the fat old woman
who kept stand at the head of the
wharf But when the great ship began
to pitch on the huge swell of the At
lantic Bill lost all his appetite for bis
cults or anything else. 1t was so warm
and stuffy also behind the barrels of
beef and pork and salt mackcrel, to-
gether with the smell of tar and bilge-
water, that it seemed to him he never
before knew what it was to feel badly
II only he could be put on shore again
he would have been willing to take a
beating every day for month.
1t was the second day out, and the
ship was heading to the southwark,
staggering under a heavy breeze that
threatened to blow Up a storm. The
mate came. down the BOBBY hatch to
zee that everything was we'll slowed
