DriAlSing In Havana.

do not know how it happens, bnt q
great many American writers, some hign
In authority, have said they have not ob-
served drunkenness here, writes the
Havana correspondent OF the Chicago Rec
ord. 1t Is difficult for me to understand
this, in the face of an almost daily observa-
tion OF intoxication. Havana is place of
cafes. 1t is astonishing how large II pro-
portion OF the people of this city eat at
restaurants. AS In Paris, many OF these
cafes are open-almost on the sidewalk.
None of them are behind closed doors,
windows or screens. 1t seems that Havana
must have more OF them in proportion to
Its population than has the capital Of
France. Most OF them have their bar at
tachment. The bdrs OF Havana are the
mirrored bars OF the State. All the "green
goods" in the place are exposed to view on
shelves behind the counter. Except in
American bars there Is no drinking from
bottles beneath the counter, and very lit
tie mixing Of drinks. Wines are the COM
mon drink OF the country. as in Italy,
France and some parts OF Germany. Most
OF the wines are pure Spanish bottled
goods, though some are bottled here.
The patrons OF these cafes drink their
wines and coffee freely and indiscrimin-
ately. They usually ear when they drinx.
tarrying at the table in conversation a
good while at time, and consequently
street drunkenness is n ot observed in any
fair proportion to the amount Of drinking
done. This, perhaps, gives some color to
the statement regarding the absence OF
drunkenness. But many do get drunk
just the same, often drunk and down."
more often drunk and put in a cab TO be
taken home to sleep 1t Off. Whisky is not
as commonly used as in the States and
other colder countries. and the immediate
stimulating effects of lighter drinks are
not to be compared with those experienced
by whisky drinkers. The whisky drnker
being more noisy and e1uberant, his con-
duct Is likely to attract more attention.
But In no wine-drinking country that
have ever visited have seen as much cafe
drunkenness, as much blear- -eyedness, md
as much street reeling us right here In nom
whisky using Havana. There are Amerl-
cans now on this island, who are bad
enough in drink habits, and who attract
great deal OF unfavorable attention when
drinking. But doubt II any other coun-
try under the sun, so nearly poverty
stricken rs this Is, Gun show worse record
for drinking. debauchery, impoverlshment
and crime from liquors OF ono sort and an
other. 1he drinkers make up In the guam
tity they consume what difference there is
In quality between whisky and wine.

poNr LET 1He SONG CO our Of Your LIE.

Don't let the song go out Of your life;
Though 1t chance sometimes to flow
In a minor strain, 1t will blend again
With the major tone, you know.
What though shadows rise to obscure life's
skies,
And hide for time the suns
They sooner will lift and reveal the rift,
II you let the melody run.
Don't let the song go out Of your life;
Though your voice may have lost its
trill,
Though the tremulous note should die in
the throat
Let it sing In your spirit still.

gain.
And never q cup OF rue
So bitter to sup but what in the cup

And the winter hath bells that chime.
Don't let the song 60 out of your life;
Let 1t ring in the soul while here.
And when you go hence it shall follow you

Sweet songs Of your life have flown,
For If ever you knew a song that was true,

That had as much respect always shown to

He drank toast upon his wedding day
Strange what results u seeming trifie

principle or whim,
He had never tasted wine, and this 1rst
awful cup

From that big wedding day-(we all hal

He lost in that one glass all sense OF good

Far less to him, than one good rousin'

seIVes IS HHVlHR II UHuquet given TO Out
prodigal brother that has come home to
his fathers house.
All, the face of this pouting elder son is
put before us in order that we might
better see the radiant and forgiving face
OF the Father. Contrasts are mighty. The
artist in sketchinG the field OF Waterloo
years after the battle put a dove in the
mouth OF the cannon. Raphael in one OF
his cartoons beside the face OF wretch
put the face OF happy and innocent child
And SO the sour face OF this irascible
and disgusted elder brother Is brought
out In. order that in the contrast We
might better understand the forgiving
and radiant face OF God. That Is the
meaning OF it-that God is ready to take
back anybody that IL sorry, to take him
clear back, to take him back forever and
forever and forever, to take him back with
n loving hug, to put kiss on his parched
lip. ring on his bloated hand, an easy
shoe on his chafed foot, u garland oil his
bleeding temples and heaven In his soul,
Oh, fall fiat on that mercy! Come, my
brother, and let US get down into the dust,
resolved never to rise until the Fathers
forglving hand shall lit us.
Oh, what God we havel Bring your
doxologies. Come, earth and heaven, and
join in the worship. Cry aloud. Lift the
palm branches. Do you not feel the
Fathers arm around your neck? Do you
not feel the warm breath OF your Father
against your cheek? Surrender, younger
son! Surrender, elder son. Surrender,
all Go In to-day and sit down at the ban
quet. Take a slice OF the fatted calf, and
afterward, when you are seated, with one
hand In the hand OF the returned brother
and the other hand In the hand OF the re-
joicing father, let your heart beat time to
the clapping of the cymbal and the mellow
voice OF the flute. 1t is meet that we should
make merry and be glad, for this, thy
brother, was dead aud is alive again. He
ras inst and 10 found.
