The Drunkard's Doom.
BY f. ISEMINGER.
This Story is Founded on Facts.

This Story is Founded on Facts.
Rum is a curse the drunkard said,
AS he lay dying on his lonely bed.
'It has brought to me an ill-spent life,
Robbed me of children, home and wife.
Once I was happy as man can'be;
Had good little wife and children three;
Each day labored for their daily bread,
Happy that my loved ones were clothed and
fed
"Wen remember that cold winters night,
The moons bright glare, the fires ruddy light;
The strains of sweet music ringing out in the
air,
Drowning my sorrow, soothing my care;
The grip of the hand, the welcoming smile,
BY which the rum seller seeks to beguile.
Twas thus L was tempted to take my first
drink;
The cold chills run DER me now as think
"Of the misery, the horror, the burning shame,
That brought to the loved ones who bore my
name.
But Alice was kind, and strove to be brave;
Tho she knew I was nearing a drunkard's
grave
The drink had taken had maddened my brain
And left in my appetite its terrible stain.
In vain strove TO lose the desire
For the drink that burns with eternal fire.
Il labored at the shop with energy and SKILL
But the earnings that made were only to fill
The rum sellers purse, so sumptuously fed,
While my loved ones at home were starving
for bread.
Thus the weeks went along and the months
sped by,
I became tired Of life, but was afraid to die;
For the life was living, knew very well,
Would soon send me down into the depth of
hell.
20, the horror! What burning paint
AS the thought of my condition rushed DER
my brain;
was murderer! What villainous life
was killing by inches my children and wife.
promised God, on my way home that night,
That I'd be man or die in the fight.
But, alas! twas too late. Oh, horror and dread
When I found that my loved ones all were
dead"
Thus ended his story-and he grew deathly
white;
For the spirit of the drunkard had taken it's
fight.
Reader, liquor is a curse to our fair land;
We can see its evil effects on every hand.

AT the time the accident occurred
Mr.. Paderewsh was so shocked that
\ he had to retire to his bed to compose
his nerves.
1t certainly was very thoughtful Of
the great musician to send the mes
sage he did and it places him in by
far better light ir this community
for the people to learn, IN this way, Of
his kind heartedness.
The managing editor OF the Eagle
spent a few hours at St. Francis hos
pital yesterday with Mr.. Bekemeyer
and found him in good spirits His
wound is still very painful, but ice and
splints have reduced the swelling and
by today DR.. Bowers thinks the pain
will be considerably modified. This
afternoon his reg will be put in a
plaster cast and after that he will be
able to roll around in his bed a little.
Up till this time he has been compell-
ed TO lie in one position. and that dis

Mr. Bekemeyer has received tele-

sympathy Unable to do any writing,
he asks the Eagle TO express to his
