and sought comfort in the flowing bo WI
BY the time his father returned tho son
was laboring under the heavy weight Of
wrongs, superinduced by the amount OF
liquor drank. Father and son had long
quarrel at their home, and tho latter an
nounced his intention Of going to the
land where there arc golden steeds. So
curing u revolver he drew the trigger, but
1t refused to connect with the cartridge.
Then he was about to place the muzzle Of
tho revolver TO his head when his sister
grabbed tho pistol.
The disappointed young man then deter
mined TO swim TO happiness and started
on run for Delaware street wharf. Two
friends gave chase and stopped him from
leaving his friends by tho water route.
They took him TO the railroad pier and
told him Of all the pleasures there are in
this bright world for o young man OF brains

young gentleman who had been imbib-
ing freely Of the medicine usually sold In
hotels did not find his revolver the other
evening. AT tho house where he boards
thcro is % young lady Of whom he
thinks a great deal and consequently he
did not relish tho sight of u big fellow
from Wilmington occupying her a,tcn =
ton for few hours in tho parlor.
He cursed tho visitor and tried to get
revolver which ho told tho long legged
Browntownor would keep him from
calling on New Castle girls Friends
ca'nc 10 the youths aid and sent him To
his he'd Now ho is sorry he drank SO
much out Of tho last bottle.
