moment he is not under the drug. l
was dangerously near to being NOR
phine tiend myself once. l had met
with an accident and suffered so ill.,
tensely that our old family physician
prescribed morphine which was given
me whenever the paroxysms of pain
racked my body from head to foot.
One day | woke up to the fact that |
was a slave to the habit. 1t had me
bound hand and foot, | had no con-
science left, it seemed to me that l was
morally and physically a wreck. Why,
l would have stolen from my best
friend to get the money to purchase
the drug. Every day made matters
worse. l would have moments of re-
pentance and remorse, in which cried
out for help to break the fetter that
bound me, and would swear off and
make the most solemn promise that |
would be man and break off this
habit that was destroying both body
and soul. Talk about sutfering you,
who have never formed the habit, don't
know anything about it. Sleeping and
waking that gnawing appetite is de-
manding that you satisfy it. How l
blamed our good old family physician
who had started me on the downward
path with the best intentions in the
world. He, himself, did not realize the
danger until it was too late. He
thought was mentally and physically
strong enough to not let it get the best
of me. There he erred; l felt just as
many an other good-hearted fellow has,
who did not have the chance and the
encouragement l had to pull himself
together and escape the bondage. No
doubt that poor fellow we just met
started out hopefully and with all the
confidence in the world that he would
be successful and a prosperous citizen,
and then there came a day when sick
ness and pain came to rack his body,
and he cried out in his misery for some
thing that would make him forget and
give him little rest from the agony.
His doctor prescribed morphine. Oh,
blissful rest! Oh, golden dreams that
carried him into the poppy fields and
drove the demon of pain out of his life
for short time. He cared not for the
affairs of business, what difference did
it make if all of his cherished plans had
failed owing to his inability to attend
to them and keep the business moving?
When he realized the danger it was too
late. The mischief was done. see it
all, and my heart aches for the poor
fellow, even though by this time we
know he has forgotten his poverty and
that he is beggar on the street; for
gotten that he is cold and hungry and
has not had mouthful to eat in twen-
ty-four hours. He is oblivious to it all;
it is his only surcease from one of the
cruelest Affections that rack the hui
man body. Don't denounce the poor
fellow but pity him, yes pity him from
the bottom of your heart and thank
Providence that you are not bound
hand and foot by the fetters of this
curse appetite. Death only will release
the dope fiend.

Conccit of the Rooster.

Were 1t not for the disgusting self
conceit Of the roosters one might en-
joy a poultry show. The rooster is
near to natures heart. He has not
civilization enough to veneer his opin-
ions with common politeness and savoir
faire, and his disgusting exhibition Of
the art of being 1t offends good taste
and refinement How the hen man.
ages to put up with 1t is certainly one
Of the mysteries Of the coop. If six or
eight hens would join hens club
modelled after Sorosis and throw the
rooster down good and hard once or
twice, he would soon discover that he
was not the only kernel on the cob.-

A Budapest scientist has made a cal

earthquakes. He finds thatan amount
of work equal to the raising of the mass
of the earth through little less than
one-fiftieth of an inch was done by each
of the world-shaking earthquakes reg
istered during the eight years from
1895 to 1902. The work done spasmodi-

The Turkey. Real Name,

The original name Of the turkey was
oocoocoo, by which 1t was known by
the native Cherokee Indians. It IL sup.
posed that our pilgrim fathers, roam

game for their first Thanksgiving
spread, heard the oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl, Turk, turk, turk" These first
Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
frightened cry Of the bird for its real
song, Immediately labeled it turkey"
and turkey 1t Is to this day. Much

l saw a weak, trembling, wretched-
looking mortal plead with two gentle
men on the street for ten cents to get a
cup of coffee with the other day. He
said, in a pitifully weak and tremulous
voice, "I haven't had bite to eat for
twenty-four hours, and 1 am cold and
hungry. l pledge you my word of
honor that don't want it for whisky"
"Oh! go long, I've heard of you be-
FORE" said one of the men harshly, as
he tried to pass him. Then he turned
imploringly toward the other party.
"Pm hungry" The woe-begone looks
and his utterly wretched condition had
its effect, and the gentleman handed
him twenty-five cents with the re-
mark, "You look as if you need it;
don't thank me, just go and get your
coffee" The generosity fully staggered
the man for a minute, for he had only
asked for ten cents and he would have
considered that he was In luck if he
had received that amount. "Oh, you
make me tired, said the man who had
refused the beggar the small amount
he asked for. Don't you know that
he is nothing but a morphine fiend
and that every cent he gets goes for the
drug? What do you want to encour-
age him for? You gave him twenty
five cents-that would get him a good
breakfast, and he needs it, but he will
buy the drug and forget the trials and
disappointments of this life while he
spends short time in the sweetest
bliss he ever knows in this world then
the awakening comes and it is not 80
pleasant for the old fellow, but he ought
to have to suffer, for he is trifiing and
good-for-nothing vagabOnd. Pity he
can't take an overdose and end it all. !"

Did you ever hear of Louis Fleish-
mans bread line? He was an Austrian
by birth, and served with distinction
at the battle of Sodowa and earned a
Lieutenant's commission. When but
mere youth he came to the United
States and founded big bakery in
New York City. He possessed a kindly
heart and was ever disposed to reach
out a helping hand to the poor. Fleish-
mans bread line" finally got to be
one of the unique and interesting
features of the big city and one of the
most practical charities in the world
it extended around from Broadway
through Tenth street to Fourth avenue.
Thousands of destitute people are re-
lieved daily, the line of applicants for
bread often extending several blocks.
Not only are unfortunate men supplied
with rolls and bread, but each one re-
ceived a cup Of hot coffee. In this way
Mr.. Fleishman has for a number of
y
an outlay of thousands of dollars. A
short time ago this great philanthropist
was lying at Deaths door, and l have
never learned whether he was spared
to continue his good work of minister
ing to the poor, or had responded to
the last summons. If the latter then,
he had many sincere mourners among
those he had benefited with his gener-
osity, and had made it possible for
them to live without experiencing the
pangs of hunger. His death would
have been great blow to the poor and
destitute of New York. 'Tis a pity
there are not more of these generous,
whole-souled men in the world whose
hearts can beat in sympathy with the
poor and unfortunate, and who are
ever ready to reach out a helping hand.
