drinking habit before they know it, or,
rather, realize how far they have gone In
some instances they are born in it, but,
thank heaven, that kind are in the minor

and we all drank more than was good for
us. ! had fine place in firm, the same

the head, and the head of the house was
a man of just the kind of horse sense all
men ought to be who have the business
of training young men in their keeping. |

receiving promotions right along. and
when my friends suggested that | was
drinking too much and that it would
finally get me down, laughed at them,
and took my drinks just the same. | sin
cerely thought they. didn't know what
they were talking about, and / did not
think the liquor was hurting me or that I
couldn't let it alone when | wanted to.
My older brother talked to me on several
occasions, and | laughed at him, and
called his attention to the fact that had

+. LITTLE WHILE.

Il Is so natural that we fall asleep
Like tired children when the day Is
done.
That ! would question why the living
weep
When death has kissed the laughing
lips Of one.
We do not sigh when golden skies have
donned
The purple shadows and the gray OF
night, ;.
Because we know the morning lies
beyond.
And we must vait Il little while for
light
so when, grown weary with the care
and strife,
Our loved ones find in sleep the peace
they crave,
We should not weep. but learn to count
this life
A prelude to the one beyond the grave;
And thus be happy for them, not dis
tresSed,
But lift our hearts with love to God,
and smile.
And we, anon, like tired ones will rest.
If we will hope and wait-a little
while.

Drunken Crews.

Terrible is not too strong a word to
apply to the indictment which the Cape
lines levels against some OF the crews
that leave Cape Town, for Is it not a
terrible" reflection that the scores OF
steamships that leave Table Bay every
week. some with many hundreds oi pas
sengers, are manned by crews OF whom a
large percentage are at the beginning OF
the voyage wholly ineapacltated by drink
from performing IN a seamanlike way the
duties which the perllous nature of their
calling impose upon them Yet such -
the experience OF most oi the commanders
who trade To Table Bay. Indeed, in this
respect" SAYS the Times, Cape Town

Thus, in four years, while the United
States has prospered and grown in
agricultural wealth, Senator Jones's
State has gone backward to the eX.
tent of 81 .OG3. CO. 1t is to be regret
ed that 10 figures on swine are given
for 1900. But as the value of swine
in Arkansas, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. for 1893 was
81, ,GS9 967, and in 1897 had fallen to
50, 196.S61, there is no doubt that the
omission of the figures for 1900 is
Il charity 10 Senator Jones's State.
On January i. 1896 there We're 30.
613 horses in Arkansas; on January /,
1900, there were but 234, 127. On Jan
uary J., 1896. there were 1859 mules
in Arkansas, on January /, 1900, only
142 ,594. On January ], 1896, there
were 295,S27 milch cows in Arkansas;
on January !. 1900, they had de-
creased TO 230,4S On January J.,
1896, Arkansas had 1SS.972 sheep: on
January /, 1900, there were only 10S,-
95I.
Ii is well to remark here in passing
that ON January ], 1896. the value OF
milch cows in Ohio was SIS, S,420, 22I +,
and January !, 1900, the value was
S25. .22I $50, and the number had in
creased from -59.J97 to 7S0,939. In
sheep Ohio had, January !, 1896. 2,I54,
G13. valued ut S5.247. .j3S. and on Jan
uary /, 1900 she had 2.S39, 800 sheep.
valued at $10,535, $50. The total value
of horses, mules. milch cows, other
catle and sheep in Ohio. January !.
| 1896. was S6S.3S2, 1J1. On January /,
1900. it was S92, ,6G4, ,46G, gain of over
| S24 100000.
Looking at the above figures, seeing
Arkansas. first in illiteracy, lowest in
savings banks. steadily going back
ward in agricultural wealth. while
every other Southern State is Won
derfully increasing, it is seen why
Senator Jones of that State was Sc
! lected above all others to lead in the
| Democratic Presidential campaign of
calamity and disaster to American in

He is the fitting representative of the
calamity howlers.
