We heard the following clever little
story concerning one of the little ones
here the other day: The little tot sat
listening to conversation between
her grandmother and clergyman
who had come to call. The latter
made remark, in connection with
church work, that ones home should
be where ones heart is, whereupon he
met the sage remark, ''Well, my heart
isn't there. It's in my left side" The
same little tot, few days later, hav-

her parents in regard to cut glass, re-
marked with tone of disgust: "Well,

I noticed you the other night, my
young man, and / am afraid you were
on the outside of a couple more drinks
than you could comfortably handle.
Of course, you say it was the first
time that you ever got that full and
tended to. That may be the first time
you have told that story, but it is a
very old one to the world. You no.
ticed that old bum on the streets the
other day, didn't you? The fellow
with the bloated face, dirty clothes
and dissipated look. You laughed at
him: Well, he was like you one day
and he monkeyed with booze quite
spell before he became a drunkard.
He had good father, kind and low
ing mother, and associated with all
the nice girls in his home town. He
had good position and his parents
looked forward to the day when he
would be the proprietor of a large eS-
tablishment. But he kept monkeying
with whisky, and as lie grew older the
whisky got a firmer hold on him. He
lost his position and the girls began
to shun him. Grief filled the heart of
his mother. But the boy couldn't see
the outcome and kept on in the old
forbidden way. The passing of the
years is but a flight of fancy and in
that broken down man you see the
transformation. 1t is but picture of
yourself if you keep it up. l don't
want you to think that / am crank
on the subject, for 1 am not. 1t is
immaterial what you do about it
Drink your head off if you want to.
Yours will be the ears to listen to the
shrIeks of demons, and not mine.
Yours will be the bones to be chilled
by the bleak winds of poverty and
yours the stomach to cry for food
Ii the tears of your mother and the
pittiful picture of that old bum don't
cause you change your ways, why
should | worry? Don't get the idea
into your head that the whole popu-
lace is on their knees praying for you
TO reform and if you do it there will
be public thanksgiving meeting.
No, indeed. The rest of us have
troubles enough of our own. As you
go down some one else goes up You
will hnd that you will have plenty of
help sliding down hill. Fill your
skull full of alcohol and use plenty of
beer for ballast and you can sail along
at mighty swift clip The only per-
son to profit materially by your stay
ing sober and Industrious is yourself.
Why should the rest of US worry
about you? just keep up your lick.
Some day the marshal will pick you
out of the gutter and you will be lug

1t is stated as a result of the war a

cents day. If any army moves on
its stomach, as Grant declared. we
have some insight here into the Sc

a man can subsist and be strong and
healthful on six cents day the ma
tion ought to feed him in the field on
even less with equally good results.
