I-have already said that my heart
ached for each of the Norton chill
dren in turn-first for the lonely
little girl than for the impulsive
misunderstood boy.
But this afternoon, as Tom and I
sat in the library facing each other,
Z knew that 1 had never been as
sorry for Grace as I was for this
Young fellow with his morbid idea
that nobody cared especially for
him. One reason for my pity for him
lay in my realization that he was
not loved by his father or his aunt
as his sister was loved. And now
he had let an inexplicable outburst
of temper put in jeopardy the plan
that had been maturing so satisfac-
torily.
There was something back of all
this that l could not understand. l
would not pry into ". But l would
try to recall the lad to his better
self before he had entirely ruined
his prospects of a summer in the
country place he loved.
Perhaps he thought / was going
to find fault with him, for. as soon
as / began to speak, he interrupted
me with
"Oh. know what you must think.
You feel that after all the trouble
you have gone to for me I've proved
myself an ungrateful beast"
Il feel nothing of the kind" l
contradicted. But. Tom, do want
YOU to believe that l sympathize with
you-and that l am sorry that any
thing has happened to upset you and
make you forget yourself. 1t is hard
er on you than on anyone else"
Il know it'll he agreed. But no.
body except you would think that.
The others-father and Aunt Ade-
laide-would say that it was hard on
them having such an ill-tempered
cuss in the house"
l was silent for a moment. Then
l spoke as gently as 1 could.
Tom" l urged, be frank; don't
you think it's bit hard on Your
father?"
ITS not my fault if it is" he
declared.
Are you sure it isn't?" I re-
peated. You and Grace are all he
has, and he loves you both. You
may not think So" as he shook his
about you. He wants to make man
of you, and YOU make IL hard for
him to do so when you speak as you
did this noon"
= Little Persuasion
But I do not speak to him like
that" he insisted.
Wait" 1 said, "let us talk over
this matter of your fathers inter-
est in you first. I want you to know
that I had a long conversation with
him about you. and that he was
pleased at the idea of having Mr..
Parker coach you next summer. OF
course. 1 do not know what Mr..
Parker's answer to the proposal will
be, but suppose it will be favor
able.
AT all events, If it is not. it won't
be your fathers fault. Why. then.
need you incur Mrs. Cores displeas-
ure and almost tempt her to COM
plain to her brother-in-law of your
manner of speaking TO her? Will
that strengthen his inclination to
have you at home this summer"
Not won't. 1 know that" he

Here, it is made of one of the

YOUR TAX COLLECTOR.

Some folks like to say that Mr.
Booze Business is sort of indirect
tax collector for Uncle Sam & Co. He
is, and he makes money at it, too. For
every $1,000 in indirect" taxes which
he turns into the treasury Of the ma,
tional firm, he also collects another
$3.50, which he keeps for his trouble,
probably as commission or reward
for his services. You know the kind
of people who charge Sc per cent OF
the gross amount Of their collections
for commission. Do you want that
kind of a collector in your employ?
Again, the collector" gets more
than five times as much as your firm
for whom you imagine he is working
Is he working for you, or working you

Ii what it says Of the drink traffic:
"We are absolutely, teetotally, and
In every way possible, opposed to the
whisky industry not only because Of
Its immoral influence, but from the
economic standpoint. 1t is curse to
the country Of such gigantic proper
tons that the sooner it is blotted out
the better 1t will be for mankind. The
billions of dollars that are annually
spent in this country constitute one
of the most fearful curses ever brought
upon the land, and every dollar thus
expended Is an economic waste and q
drain upon the physical, mental, moral
and financial stamina Of the country.
Moreover, the alliance Of the saloon
interests with the politics of the coun-
try is another curse, and to this in
fiuence Is due much Of the rottenness
In American politics. Whisky
and the saloon business are an un-
speakable curse, without one single,

eve should not discuss moderation

staff physician in the German army,
and in these words he voices the gen.
eral opinion of German anti-alcohol-
lists. 1.-THE thing has long since been
settled by science The use of mar
cote poisons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline
to take part in any festival occasion
where drink is used. One who makes
Of well, slightly alcohol-sick per-
SOM. e., moderate drinker-should
be punished for it socially until we
can get leave to punish legally. Wills
of men made in an alcoholized or
slightly alcoholized state should be
contested. Drunkards are made by
hospital prescriptions Of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legally
liable. Il must be considered incom-
patible with the honor Of city or
government to allow the activities Of
poison factories, such as breweries and
distilleries."

Bishop Carroll (Catholic) Of Mon.

dry campaign: "By taking the pledge
the individual prohibits the use Of In
toxicating liquors by himself; by pass,
ing prohibition law the community
bars the use Of Intoxicating drinks to
itself. The community has as much
right to take the pledge as the individ.
ual." And, let us add, so has the state

There is a brewer living in one OF

says the American Issue. This brewer
has wife and children and they are
bright and well-behaved. But this fam
lily has no neighbors. 1t has no neigh.
borhood callers. 1t is let alone. It Is
as If the house were quarantined. The
wife and children are all right, but
they belong to the brewer. The brewer
is all right, too, except for his bust
ness. There is the stumbling block.
The family is ostracized socially be-
cause of the beer business. Will the
brewer say he is willing to change his
business2 He should at least do it for
his family's sake.
