THE RIGHT STOCK.

She was small and frail, but sit
ting a few seats behind her | could
not see her face. Soon a handsome,
manly young fellow opened the
forward door Of the car and looked
from one to another as though ex-
pectlng to meet somebody. At once
on seeing the lady | have mentioned
he quickened his steps and a happy
look came into his face. On reach
ing her he bent down and kissed
her tenderly and when she moved
nearer to the window he deposited
his coat and hand bag and seated
himself beside her. In the seventy
dye mile ride which [ took in the
same car with them he showed her
every attention and to the end ex-
hibited his devotion by anticipating
her smallest need for comfort; and
once he put his arm around her in
such lOver-like way that l decided
that they were a newly married
pair enjoying their honeymoon.
Imagine my surprise on reaching
Chicago to discover her to be old
and wrinkled. But when I heard
him say, Come, mother" and saw
him proudly lead her out f.the cars
and gently help her to the platform,
banishing her lightest anxiety and
bearing her many packages, knew
there was not money nor romance
behind the exhibition, but that here
was young man who loved his
mother.

Milwaukee is to vote on the
license question. Even in that city
of beer there are some people who
think 5000 license Too low. The
claim is made that the burden Of
taxatiC n on real estate and other
subjects of taxation is great deal
heavier than it was when this
figure was fixed. That was twenty
years ago. There are other consider
atoms. One is the increased num-
Der of saloons. Eighteen hundred
drinking places is an appalling num-
Der, even in the tolerant judgment
of the average citizen of Milwaukee,
who recognizes all that beer has
done for the cause of temperance
and bears the brewing industry no
al will. He known that the traffic
at saloons in general is not re-
stricted to beer. He known that
the drink habit is responsible for
much idleness, poverty and crime,
that there are many saioorkeepers
inclined to encourage business at
the expense of good order, and that
this class of men would be less like
ly to risk the loss Of license costing
$500 than one representing an in
vestment Of less than half that sum.
