A Lesson to Fathers.

A pethetic story has come from Chi.
cago since the death OF Eugene Field, of
the destitute circumstances in which he
left his wife and little children, and all
owing to Mr.. Fields careless bust.
ness methods and his keen love for
nature. Only few days before his
death he took $3.50 which he had saved
up and started with it for the insurance
office, where he was to pay the premium
about due on $4,000 life insurance
policy. On his way down he met an
expert entomologist who had an unusual.
ly Interesting collection of mounted
butterflies and who wanted to sell it.
He profered it to Mr.. Field cheap at
5000. The latter offered $3.50 and the
two finally comprimised on $l75, which
Mr.. Field paid out of his insurance
money and ordered the specimens sent
home, intending of course to attend to
the insurance policy premium few
days later, but few days later he was
corpse and the $4,000 dollar policy had
lapsed. The widow has the butterflies.
