The Praotieal. .Ousation.

1T think it only fair to warn you, Hi ram, said the aged politician to his son, promising young man who had been elected to the legislature and was about to start to the capital of the state to enter upon his duties, "that measures deeply affecting the public welfare will come up for consideration before the body to which you have been elected, and corrupt, designing men will seek to in- fuence your vote. They will try to bribe you, Hiram. They will offer you money. Be on your guard against them, my boy, and remember that the reputa- tion of the family whose name you bear and the honor of the district you repre- sent are at stake. !"
 "I will, father, , replied the young man, deeply moved. "How-how much will they probably offer me?"-Chicago Tribune
