One of the most pathetic stories now
going the rounds of the press is the
one which tells of the brave struggle
of Giles II. Filley of st. Louis to dis
charge an enormouse debt of 1850 900
shouldered upon him by the shortcom-
ings of another man Every dollar of
this sum should have been paid by
John How, who was morally RESPONSE
bic for it, but Mr.. Filley was unfortu-
nate enough to have stood his security,
believing implicitly in his ability and
honor in financial transactions, and
when John How failed Mr. Filley found
himself confronted with the necessity
of meeting his obligations. lie could
not pay the full amount at the time,
although he was one of ST. Louis most
prosperous merchants. but he under
took TO pay it from year to year. and
for thirty-five years he staggered I'M
der the burden. Except for his fail
ure in business some few weeks ago he
would have paid every dollar of it, bat
financial disaster overlook him, and
his own death followed soon thereafter
When John How was mayor of st.
Louis during the closing days of the
civil war he was thought to be the
wealthest man in the town. He owned
extensive tanneries and other business
enterprises. The home Of How was on
Locust avenue and next door-1527 -
was the Filley residence. The two lnen
were bosom friends Mr.. Filley trusted
How as only one man gives himself to
another in whom he believes. Both
were on the high road to riches; for
each life could not seem to be bright
er. How needed ready money. He APP
pealed to Mr. Filley for aid. Mr.. Fill
ley instantly Endorsed his notes for
amounts that in the end aggregated
$500 600. Some little trouble over one of
the notes led Mr.. Filley to investigate
city. Then it dawned on his neighbCr
that he was legally responsible for
every dollar paid on the notes he in
dorsed. He accepted the situation. His
friends urged him to go into bankrupt
cy and settle for so cents on the dollar
This he refused to do. He drew on the
resources OF the Excelsior company to
meet the notes. lie never compromised
but two notes-one held by a bank
which would accept nothing but a
compromise and one possessed by the
late Capt Eads, who would take but
so cents on the dollar The other notes,
with interest, were paid in full, with
only two or three exceptions. Death

Drink Is Making Fearful Havoc Among

A French scientist charges that alco-
holism threatens the entire civilized
world, and in France it has wrought
Its greatest mischief The life of
France is being sapped by the scourge.
1t has already resulted in a frightful
Increase in suicides, the insane and
criminals. In 1898 France consumed
over 100000 gallons of alcohol. This
was an average of nine pints for each
inhabitant of France-men, women and
children. AS three-quarters of this al
cohol is consumed by one tenth of the
inhabitants, one out of every ten
Frenchmen drinks 200 pints Of brandy
each year, or i ponies every day. In
this estimate no account is taken of
the alcohol contained in lighter liquors,
such as wine, cider, beer, etc. If this
be considered the average consumption
OF alcohol in all forms rises to twenty
eight pints of alcohol instead of nine
This tremendous consumption of alco-
hol has developed only within a few
years, for in 1851 the consumption was
but three pints per capita. Within the
last ten years the consumption of alb
sinthe has increased to such an extent
in France that five times as much al
cohol is used for the manufacture of
the green serpent" as was used ten
years ago, while the population has not
