A Mothers MISTAKE

There ls q young man on board the
revenue cutter McCulloch which was
at the battle of Manila, whose mother
has totally erroneous idea of his pres
ent occupation" said Chicago travel
ing man who sells goods through the
Southern States. This lady is one Of
the incest, most motherly old souls l
meet in my rounds, but she is at the
same time one of the most ignorant Of
everything except how to get up good
meal of yictuals and give tired DRUM
mer a comfortable bed and clean sheets
to sleep in. She has been running u
little tavern in Maryland town for
forty years, suppose, and hasn't been
five miles from home since she was a
girl. Her only son, a chap of about 2S-
on the contrary, has not been within
five miles of home for longer than six
months in the last twenty years. How
ever, he keeps her posted as to his
whereabouts, and in all his wanderings
he does not forget her. When last
heard from he got some kind of posi-
ton on board the United States rev.
enue cutter McCulloch, the vessel THAI
was Dewey's dispatch-boat at Maniia-
and is at present doing duty between
California and the Behring Sea About
week or ten days ago | took dinner
at her place, and fine country dinner
it was, too, and asked her about the
boy.
oh she responded, with smile
that would make anybody glad to have
her for a mother, Jimmie is doing so
well now. He don't always get into the
best places, and am afraid that some
times he gets into real bad ones, but he
is turning over a new leaf, guess, for
he has gone TO work with a preacher
He didn't mention what denomination
he was, but that don't make any differ
ence, so long as Jimmie just works for
him.
I'm glad to hear it, said. who is
