SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE.
inebriated Orator Resented Disappro~
al Of His Condition.

Like many a statesman Of the
past" said Senator Beveridge. he
drank too much. And one Fourth of
July morning, on a platform hung
with flags and flowers before the
courthouse Of a country town, facing
an audience Of farmers and their fam
lilies that had come from miles around.
the statesman arose to deliver the In
dependence day Grafton in slightly
intoxicated state.
He was not incapable Of an ora
ton, but his unsteady gait, his flushed
face and disordered attire spoke Ill
OF him, and the audience hissed.
He held up his hand. They were
silent. Then he laughed scornfully
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, When a
statesman Of my prominence consents
to appear In such little. one-horse
town as this. he must be either drunk
or crazy. prefer to be considered an
inebriate.' .'"-Washington Star.

When Sprino Came.


That was a cold and lonely winter
for the old man. The bay mare stood
In the stable and whinnied for Seffy.
The old house was full Of harsh
echoes. Its spirit seemed to have
gone. SefYy's father knew now what
a rare thing is joy-and what a Joy.
Gus creature Seffy had been.
The ground was hard to till. And
often he thought about what he had
said OF Seffy's mother.
Then he would toll up the steep
stair to the garret-he had become
quite feeble-and take out Of an old
German chest a daguerreotype Of her
with SefYy in her arms. And some
times he would cry over 1t until his
beard was wet.
God bless you, my little boy" he
would sometimes say, that you cared
for her more than l did. You nefer
called her no names.
Il didn't know l could be so mean

can't talk back. And. God-a'mighty!

me!-not her nor-you. Sefry. nor you!
For l expect I'm q murderer"
And sometimes. when his loneliness
was too hard to be borne. he would &c
out and sit for hours and talk to the
old bay mare-about Seffy. He fancied

One moment-two-the old man

upon the pretty white bed the boy had
been wont to make with such care

not speak. And when the doctor

He was not dead. and presently he

During the first quarter OF this
