The tramp swallowed down the drink.
and as the liquor cormsed through his

before them with a grace and dignity
which all his rage and dirt could not OBJ
scure
Gentlemen" he said, 4 look tonight

blighted manhood. This bloated face

stumbling figure once walked as wroudly

friends and position. / had a wife as
beautiful as an artists dream, but
dropped the priceless pearl of her honor
and respect into q cup of wine, and, like
Cleopatra, saw it dissolve, then quaffed
il down in the Drumming draught. I had
children sweet and pure as the flowers
of spring. and saw them fade and die
under the blighting curse of drunken
father. / had home where love lit it's
flame upon the altar and ministered be-

The tramp ceased speaking. The glass
fell from his nervous fingers, and shat

shut again, and when the group looked
up the tramp was gone.

self from those suspected of holding
light regard for law.
Already a movement has been start
ed looking toward the welding of the
interests of capital and labor in such
manner as to promise perpetual peace.
OF course it is yet but dream which
most of US would discredit but the
Mcnamara revelations and others
likely to follow, is bound to be pro-
