ABBEYS GLASS OF MILK.
An Amusing story of the Famous

An Amusing story OF the Famous
Artists BOyhOOd Days.
In the days when Edwin a. Abbey,
the distinguished illustrator and paint
er, was a small boy he had the habit
OF critically scrutinizing every dish that
was set before him at the table, much
TO the embarrassment OF his family.
His frequent dismissals from the table
were but ineffective reproofs, and
something had to be done to work a
cure.
Eddie" said his mother one day, IT
heard thee speak about going to Cousin
Martha's for dinner next Sunday. and
/ am afraid we will have to make thee
stay at home until thee learns polite
ness at the table. Thy picking at food
would mortify me-"
This threatened deprivation reduced
the boy TO tears, and after he had SOL
EMMY promised not TO look at every
thing according to his habit he was
told that he might go.
The day came, and large and mer-
~ family gathered 10 do justice to
tempting meal. Each OF the little folks
had a glass of delicious rich country
milk at his place.
Noticing that Edwin was surrepti-
tiously CHANGING at his glass, Mrs Alb
hey observed, with a well understood
meaning, Edwin, why art thou not
drinking thy milkY'
With a determined air the boy hasti-
ly picked up the glass and, shutting his
eyes as tight as possible, gulped its
contents down.
This sudden procedure attracted the
attention OF all the guests, and, fearing
at least severe scoiding, the boy ex-
claimed. u did il. mother; IL swal-

He presents the only sensible

The fight is not upon the tariff, but

who has the means to meet good

whose every act for the past eight

early to begin this presidential
talk. Heretofore, the Democrats
have waited until the Republicans
have had all of their schemes and
wires laid down and perfected
before making any active canvass.
The time is now. Let every
Democrat read and reflect upon
