A Beautiful Story.

The following beautiful story is told
of Hon. John c. SpOoner:
"HOn. John G. SpOoner, former United
States senator from Wisconsin, has quit
smoking, and thereby hangs a tale Of
how his son put one over the old gentle
man. Charles Spooner had graduated
In law and was going west to hang out
his shingIe. His father in a confidential
talk before he left asked him not to
drink, telling him of the evils Of the
habit, and saying that he would not see
him for long time, closed by stating
that it would be a great consolation to
know that his son was not being ruined
by drink. Charles replied that smoking
was injurious to his father, and he was
going away for so long a time so it
would be great consolation to know
while away, that his fathers health was
not being ruined by the habit. He
promised not to drink if his father
would promise to quit smoking. Sena
tor SpOoner had been regular smoker
for thirty years, bnt. being game, ac-
cepted the young mans challenge and
quit.

for good thing by way of salary and a
soft job. But should the democracy be
successful, it will be pretty good bunch
