Going to Fix Him.

Parents cannot be tso careful how
they answer the apparently trivia,
questions of their children, says thc
Chicago Dispatch. 1t would almost
seem as If a child's dictionary We're q
necessity of the age. Here is an illus
ration:
Pa" said little chap to his father
"what does man mean when he says
I'll fix your"
Means that he'll do him up" an
swered the father, briefly.
But then, what does do him up
mean?"
Bother! You ask too many Ques
tons, child. 1t means that he is going
10 kill him."
The little fellow was silenced for q
time. but as events proved he thought
over the subject
Soon after he was taken Ill, and tho
family doctor being away Il strange
physician was summoned. Left alone
with him for q few moments the LITTLE
fellow began 10 ask questions.
"Going to cure me, doctor?" he In
quired
"Yes, yes, my little man." said tho
physician, who was preparing Il dose
I'm going to fix you"
What was the doctors surprise tC
see small white-robed figure darj
from the bed and make bee line fol

ed The astonished medical man fol
lowed him, and found him sobbing IN

lating his fears that the doctor intend
ed to "fiX" him in the sense that his
father had defined the word few
weeks before.

A pathetic tale Is that of a young
woman in Newark, n. J., who ten
years ago married the man of her
choice and started in her new life un.
der what seemed the happicst aus
piccs, but she began using morphine
and became a slave to the habit. Soon
she began to drink. Her baby died
and despite her husbands entreaties
she went from bad to worse. Her
passion for the drug was Unsuitable
and she pawned her own and her huS-
bands clothes for money with which
to satisfy her appetite. Then she left
her home and became a wanderer. Her
beautiful blonde hair was sacrificed
when all other sources of revenue
failed. A week ago she died In the
City Hospital of Newark, and search
of her effects revealed only q little
pair of her baby's shoes. She had lost
her husband, home, child and life, yet
kept those sacred.

missioner Touslcy, who is one of the
several men engaged upon 1t, says that
the reports may be completed In a

tayo volumes of about 600 pages for
each volume. A good many of these
volumes are to be devoted to the
speeches and essays at the various
congresses" held In Chicago at the

said in advance that the volumes will
