A Kentucky Temperance Yarn.

From the National Magazine.
A Kentucky senator told about an old
pilot on the Mississippi, aged eighty-two,
who was recounting an incident con-
nected with the temperance question:
''Intemperance Is running the nation, =
he insisted THE sad victims are on
every side of us; have seen many OF
them in my long career. Once We had
a passenger on steamboat where was
pilot, he was intoxicated and fell over
board After he had been soaking at
the bottom of the river for awhile, we
fished him out, and laid him, limp and
sopping, on the deck; our efforts to revive
him were unavailing. until at last some-
body thought that whisky would be just
the thing to restore animation. We
opened the mans mouth and poured some
down and it seemed TO stay all right. for
a gurgling sound came from his lips I
put my ear close to hear what he might
wish to say-doubtless last message
for his loved ones at home.
oll-me-on-a-barrel," he wheezed
hoarsely, roll me on barrel quick and
