4 Tramp,s Eloquent Lecture.
1 tramp asked for a free drink

A tramp asked for q free drink
IN a saloon. The request was
oranted and when in the act of
drinking the proffered beverage,
one of the young men presently
exclaimed;
stop; make US speech. 1t is
8 poor liquor that doesn't unloosen
a mans tongue. "
The tramp hastily swallowed
down the drink. and as the rich
Iiouor coursed through his blood
he straightened himself and stood
before them with grace and dig
pity that all his rags and dirt
could not obscure.
Gentlemen. he said, I look
tonight at you and and myself and
II seems to me that | look upon the
picture of my lost manhood. This
bloated face was once young and
handsome as yours. This shambl-
ing figure once walked as proudly
as yours, a man in the world of
men. |, too, once had a home and
friends and position. | had wife
as beautiful as an artists dream,
and dropped the priceless pearl of
her honor and respect in the wine
cup and Cleopatra like, saw it dis
solve and quaffed it down in the
brilnming draught, had chill
dren as sweet as the flowers of
spring. and saw them fade and
die under the blighting curse of
worthless and drunken father.
had home where love lit the
fame upon the altar and minister
ed before it, and l put out the holy
fire and darkness and deSOlatiOn
reigned in its stead. | had aspira-
tions and ambitions that scared as
high as the morning star, and
broke and bruised their beautiful
wings, and at last stlangled them
that | might hear their cries nc
more. Tonight | am a husband
without wife, father without 3
child, a tramp without home tc
call his own, man in whom every
good impulse is dead, and al
swallowed up in the maelstrom OF
drink" :"
The tramp ceased speaking, the
glass fell from his nerveless finger:
and shivered into a thousand frag
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and closed again
and when the little group aroun(
the bar looked up the tramp wa:
gone New Orleans Picayune.

HOME THOUGHTS.

Paying cash for everything used to be a
womans standard Of thrift, and the femi-
nine mind still recoils from a load of debt.
The busy women Of today, however, find that
weekly or monthly bills are a great saving OF
time and energy, and possess two other dis
tinct advantages. A regular customer is well
treated. and if poor or short-weighted goods
are delivered, a protest insures prompt i'm
proVement. The business woman who does
not have to concern herself with the COM
missary department of the home has discoy-
cred, too, that the same principle applies in
her shopping needs. An account with a re-
liable house, if she is a sensible enough
woman not to overrun it, saves her time and
strength.-New York Post.
Beyond the personalities of gossip, saws
Margaret Welch, our daily intercourse is
shamefully stained by graver disclosures Of
what we really know OF the sorrows and sins
and distress of our acquaintance and friends
We may not mean it unkindy it may be
even in a spirit of sincere sympathy that our
fluent story is told; but by what right do we
lift the veil which until then had saved the
unfortunate from the plying or reproachful
glance which he will receive tomorrow on the
street? There is a pity born of love which
heals; but God alone knows how bitter is the
pity of strength for wounds a man tries to
hide. There is no warrant in our relations
with our fellow men and women for our
spreading the details of their misfortunes
simply as themes of a conversation which can
never bring them any good result. We have
but to turn our eyes inward for the swiftest
glimpse at our own hearts to realize that
these are plainly subjects which ought to be
talked Of lightly.
A woman returning from a stay in England
is authority for the statement that it is not
uncommon over there for the owner of
handsome suburban residence to receive for
pay an autumn or winter house party. She
will act as chaperone, if desired or will efface
herself in her own quarters, directing the
management of the servants to relieve the
temporary hostess from all care of that sort.
