irresponsible Idyls
By LEE KINGSTON.

When 1 could take two drinks or
three, and wander in the flowery
path, a stern, old boy would come

wrath. Lay off," he'd say, you're
going bad, your time will come in
life's fair spring; heed one who's
Older than your dad. nor listen when
the sirens sing" Time passed, and
old J. Barleycorn was laid away
among the dead: / go without my
morning horn and drain the water
tap instead. I really IKE this sort
of plan much better than I'd
thought I would, but how about
that dear. old man who used to
worry for my good! 1 chanced but
yesterday to see him weeping in the
marts of trade. he couldn't get the
bitters he had drunk since first the
stun was made; he couldn't get the
patent dope the druggist used TO
sell to him, so he had bought ten
feet of rope and he was looking for
limb. Yea, all the time he'd
watched that I'd not founder in
life's sinful sea, he'd Tapped up
cure-alls on the side-and fooled
