HOW WHISKY LOST A FORTUNE
How Senator Fair Saved a Miilion-Dol-
lar Cattle Ranch.

How Senator Fair Saved a Miilion-Dol-
lar Cattle Ranch.
The inducement of a fortune is O
favorite game Of California millionaires
who wish to reform sons addicted to
inebriety. A famous instance of it is
the case Of ex-senator James G. Fair,
the Nevada bonanza king, known in
his lifetime as Slippery JIM" and his
precious son, Young Jimmy"
Young Jimmy was a bibulant beside
whom drinkers of the George Croker
order ranked as prohibitionists. Old
Fair wanted him to sober up. Kelley
cure, home for inebriates, and sea voy-
ages had failed to make any improve
ment except of the most temporary
sort, and then the old man offered a
million-dollar cattle ranch as a reward
for a years sobriety. Even the offer
must have been a ore trial to the ex-
senator, for the old millionaire loved
his money more than the young one
did his liquor. However, the offer was
made, and the young fellow started in
to earn 1t. Every enemy the old man
had in the family and out hoped the
year would not prove long. Young
Jimmy's career, up to then a matter Of
supreme indifference, became the cen
ter of breathless interest throughout
California. The tales of his narrow es-
capes, the steadfastness of his resolves,
and the n%obleness with which he with
stood temptation were an eleven
months wonder. The time was eleven
twelfths gone, and old Fair could not
sleep nights. At last he called his son
to him and Congratulated him on his
success and advised him to go up TO
the principality so soon to be his and
familiarize himself with it. But the
father made desperate attempt to
save his million-dollar ranch. He lined
the road with demijohns: he crowded
the ranch house with TASKS Of the best
whisky he could find. No matter which
way the young man turned he was as
| sailed by an inviting bottle. The father
| had cleared the ranch Of possible com
| panions for his son. Jimmy, when he
reached the ranch, found himself alone
UNMATCHED. The old senator
knew the tribe of Fair. He re-
scended suddenly on the ranch
after the young man had been there
| two weeks. He found him in the thicl
, OF the jag Of his life. The ranch wa
saved.
