Bad luck and business failure were given az
| the cause OF his condition, and when questioned
he told OF how he had worked at many stores
and received good salaries, but he had never
invested IN real estate, and consequently he
has place that he can call his home. His
father lives here and has . good home, but he
Married 1 supposs2' ventured the super
intendent
NO. sir" he answered, and an expression Of
sadness on his face indicated that love affair
still troubled HIM.
That's where you missed it," said the super
intendent- Every man ought TO get married
and have helpmste. II he doesn't then he
cannot expect so much
We'll, said the man, with tears in his eyes,
81 would have been married, but couldn't get
the one l wanted, and so remained single"
'But." added Supt. Dunn. ''there's more
than one woman in the world"
There was only one to me" said the man
who wanted 3 bed for the night, but / now
realize that made mistake. II had it to go
over again j might do different, b-u-t-I
don't know, she was the only one to me-"
Following the story Of his love affair the man
told OF how liquor drinking had caused him SO
much trouble, and he had now made Q resolu-
ton that liquor would no longer take any part
in his troubles.
Aftefbeing registered he was shown to the
wood yard. where he remained several min
utes- Then he returned and appeared greatly
excited.
Saving wood had not agreed with him, and
M said he could not perform the labor.
VI am sick and cannot do the work" said the
poor man. 81 would like to stay over night,
but am unable to do the work"
Put him to bed, said the superintendent to
his assistant, and few minutes later the ledger
