A Tramp's Eloquent Lecture.
A tramp once asked for a free
drink in a saloon. Toe request was
granted and when in the act of
drinking the prcffered beverage, one
of the young men present exclaimed,
"stop, make us a speech. It is poor
liquor that doesn't unloosen a man's
tongue.' The tramp hastily swallowed
down the drink and as the
rich liquor coursed through his blood
be straightened himself and stood
before them with a grace and dignity
that ail bis rags and dirt could not
ooeerve.
"GeotlemeD, be &aid, I look tonight
at yon, and myself, and it
seems to me I look upon the picture
of my lost manhood. This bloated
face was once as young and handsome
as youra. This shambling
figure once walked as proudly as
yours, a man in the world of men. I,
too, once had a home and friends
and position. I had a wife as beauttifui
as an artist's dream and I dropped
the priceless pearl of her honor
and respect in the wine cup and
Cleoptra like, saw it dissolve aDd
quaffed it down in the brimming
draught. I bad children as Bweet
and lovely as the flower of spriDg,
and saw them fade and die under
the blighting course of a drunken
father. I bad a home where love lit
the flame upon the altar and ministered
before it, and I put out the
holy fire and darkness aDd desolation
reigned in its stead. I had aspira
tions and ambitions that soared as
high as the morning star and broke
and bruised their beautiful wings
and at last strangled them that I
might be tortured with their cries no
more. Today I sm a husband without
a wife, a father without a child,
a tramp with no home to call his
own, a man in whom every good impulse
is dead and ail swallowed up
in the poison drink."
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his neiveless fingers
and shattered into a thousand fragments
on the floor.
The swinging door pushed open
and shut again, and when the little
group about the bar looked up, the
tramp hsd gone.
Last Hope Vanished.
When leading physicians said that
W. M. Smitliart, of Fekin, la., had incurable
consumption, his last hope vanished;
but Dr. King's New Discovery
for consumption, coughs and colds,
kept him out of his grave. He says:
"This great specific completely cured
me, and saved my life. Since then, I
have nspd it for over 10 vears. and con
sider it a marvelous throat and lung
cure." Strictly scientific cure for
coughs, sore throats or colds; sure preventive
of pneumonia. Guaranteed,

business. Echo.

Pat and The Judge.
Every spring Pat Gibney, a well
known Taunton character, goes over
to East Taunton to see the herriDg
run. He hasn't missed seeing this
sight any year since he arrived from
Ireland thirty-nine years ago, says
the Boatc n Herald.
Last spring, after watching the !
herrings for half an hour or more,
Pat's curiosity was satisfied ana he
started for heme. Not having much
money, he decided to walk home and
save the fare. He was trudging
along the road, with his "T. D '' p'pe

familiar face of Judge Fox.
"Good morning, Pat," said the
judge
''Alorning, your honor," said Pat.
"Jump in, Pat, and I'll give you a
ride to the green," said the judge.
They had not gone far when Judge
Fox turned to Gibney and Baid:
"Well, Pat, you would be a long
time in Ireland before the judge of
the town would give you a ride in
bis automobile.
"Faith, an' would, your honor,"
said Pat, "and you'd be a great deal
longer over there before they'd make
the likes of you judge of a town."

Arrested For. Arson.
White Man Charged With Brookland
Fire.
Columbia Record.
A warrant ha* been sworn out for
the arrest of J. E. Boyer, a merchant
of Brookland, charging hitn with
beiDg responsible for the fire which
burned that suburb of Columbia last
month. It will be remembered that
this fire destroyed practically the
whole village and inflicted a heavy
loss ou the Columbia Mills company
and the resident owners of that town.
Since that time an investigation
wa9 ordered by the Comptroller General
as required by law, and Mr.
Henry W. Hoiloway, of this city,
was employed to look into the matter.
Testimony was taken from several
witnesses in the village, and after
some correspondence with Solicitor
Timmerman it was decided to arrest
Bover.
Boyer was a merchant of that
village and it was in his electric
plant, which be owned, that the fire
started. It is not known yet what
evidence is against the man, but it is
evident that the case is a conclusive
one and that the oreliminarv will be
one of the most sensational bad in
this State in many years.
The announcement that a warrant
would be sworn out for Boyer was
made known in Brookland Thursday
when Deputy Holloway went over
and appeared before a magistrate
with a warrant which he wished to
have sworn to.
J. E. Boyer, the Brookland merchant
who was arrested Wednesday,
had a hearing before Magistrate'
Marchant Friday morning, and was
dismissed on the grounds that the
State failed to mate out a prima
facie case. The dismissal came as a
surprise to the State officials directly
interested in the case, as it was considered
by them that the State tad
a strong chain of circumstantial evidence.
Solicitor George Bell Timmerman
was at the preliminary for
the State.
