now A BABY CURED THE DRtNEINe HAB1T.
1t has remained for q woman in 81. Louis
to devise a simple and effective scheme for
getting her husband out OF a barroom in
which he had been spending too much OF his
time and all his money. She not only in
duced him 70 60 home, but TO wish that he
had never been in saloon.
The woman who did il was Mrs. Fritz
LeuGht, who is not only young, but very
pretty. She and Leught have been married
little over n year and have one child, a
pretty, curly-haired babe.
For some reason, which Leught says now
he can't explain he got into the habit of
frequentiDg one of the barrooms in st Louis.
He got so enamored OF il he failed to go
homo when through with his work in tho
evening, preferriug to pass all his leisure
time In the barroom. His vile pleaded with
him to keep out of it, but without avail. Ho
went from bad TO worse and soon lost his
position.
Matters got so bad that when she wanted
to see her husband Mrs. Leught was obliged
to go to the saloon to do so. That made her
desperate. and she resolved to adopt heroic
measures in an effort to bring her husband
to his senses.
SO one day recently, when Leught was in
back room Of tho bar, a young and pretty
woman, neatly dressed, and carrying in her
arms a bundle, walked boldly into the sa-
loon. She looked about her cnlmly, as If in
search OF some one. IhCn she walked up toi
the bar. deposited tho bundle thereon and
started to leave the place.
The harroom was full of men ut the time. !
When the woman entered they became quiet
and then astonished rs she laid the bundle
on the bar very gently.
As she started 10 leave tho place one Of the
walters stepped forward and stopped her.
at the same time there was a movement in
the bundle, and baby's head peeped out of
the folds OF cloth. The baby looked about
ut the garish furniture with wide, staring
eyes. AS she laid the bundle on the bar tho
baby began to cry.
Tho effect was electrical. All the men
crowded up and tried to quiet the child,
which refused TO be quieted. Even the bar
tenders joined in the effort TO amuse the
youngster.
THE baby wanted to see his father" Mrs.
Leught explained 10 the crowd. $50 1
brought him to the only place where his
father can be found. He can take care of
the boy now, because I've got TO go TO work
to make living for myself and the child"
That settled 1t with the crowd. Leught
wns hauled out of the back room, and all
most before he knew what had happened
was walking down the street beside his wife,
with the child in his arms.
He got his former position back few days
later, and hasn't been in the saloon since

How vast the ruin wrought by sin!

the nearest they could get to the
traditional cancels hairy were
leading lambs, the latter of
course representing Christ. Very
pretty would it be in theory; but
the day was warn and the road
dusty. The little st. Johns grew
tired and wept noisily, and the
lambs, with no sense of the pro-
prieties, occasionally stopped
short and refused to bulge. 1t
kept a priest busy running along
the line, stirring up the obstinate
ones with a stick and catching
fugitives. | asked one of the
peasants accompanying the pro-
cession what were the contents
of a silver box, that was carried
in much pomp at the head.
"That." he answered reverential-

Infant st. John"
We were walking in this same
neighborhood one day when we
found q small chapel, hidden
among the hills. We entered
with somewhat languid curiosity,
but our interest was awakened
when we saw over the altar in
stead of the ira litional Madonna,
a very good picture of Diana and
Action. We inquired of the
priest about the apparent error,
but he silenced us by saying
"But yes. 1t occurred near here,

has furnished profitable invest

made Eastern millionaires. II
has been despised and spit upon

The high and mighty East now
now raises its brows in astonish-

Gold is an aristocrat, says
Senator Jones. 1t holds is court
in the palaces of kings and
dwells in the mansions of the
millionaire; but silver is the
faithful servant and humble
friend of him who tolls to make
his country greater and the
world better. Gold is the spirit
of evil that breeds folly and vice
and sin and crime, but silver is
angel of mercy that cheers the
heart of hungry and brings con-
ISOLATION to the needy. 1t cheers
the breast of the poor plowboy
as he whistles n errily to the
jingle of a few dimes in his
breeches pocket, and it brings
comfort to the over-worked
seamstress whose comforts in
life are measured by the swift
ness Of her needle. Pure and
white like Diana, whose sacred
emblem it is, silver is the symbol
of purity and tenevolence, a
minister of love, the currency of
honesty.
