am Y7* 1. ge bt'I ',:, . 1 e eet y to make th t Iq~t people will ook so wild and inber how my pa used t6 he drank whisk y, and I ber how scared mother was w 'e home drunk. "'L to think we woro as good as S q people, for we had a nice house '.} U; a enough to cat, and we all seemed Sget along first-rate, except when pa + w'sWould go to the tavern and get drunk, c; and then when he came home we would have an awful t}no. He would strike mother with anything he could get hold - of, and once when I told him he was a bad man to act that way, he took me by one foot and slammed me clean across the room. I was hurt and scared too, and mother she screamed awful, and then she picked me up and ran out of the house. It was a cold night-yes, awful cold; I can mind that very well, for when mother took me to Mr. Weston's house they said I was nearly frozen. My leg hurt me awful bad too, and I cried and cried. When Mr. Weston brought the doctor, he said my leg was broken, and he set it, and it hurt pretty bad too, but I tried not to cry, for I knew it made mother feel kind of distressed. But I couldn't stop the cry altogether. It would break out sometimes. I tel] you it is pretty bad to have a broker log. It is bad for a little boy, but ] reckon it wouldn't be so bad for a bi boy or a man. I hated my pa after that. What did he beak my leg for? .I asked myscll that question a good many times. Wasn't I his own boy? Aid hadn't h< been good to mc before? Then wh3 should ho rise right up and slam m< across the room and break my leg jusi because I told him ho \Was a bad man to act so ugly and striko mother? 1 I talked to- m er about it when ] was lying with broken lg, and i hurting pretty bad too, an( she said i was whisky that did it. But I told her tl'at if whisky and pi hadn't got together it wouldn't hav< boon done. Whisky in a bottle wouldn1' have done it, but whisky in pa is whia caused the trouble. I told mother I wondered why peoph drank v,hisky when it made them so bad, and caused them to slam boys aroni and break their legs. She said they couldn't help it. When they comunmenicc1 they were comlpelled to go ahead. They might try to stop, but they couldn't.. If whisky is as bad as that, oughtn't people to ho very careful? 1 think they ought to shut their mouths and atrike right and left when they come near to it. .1 never asked mother to explain all about this, for she died soon after, and [ didn't have an opplort.uiity to talk to her, but 1 supl)ose that he meant that whiskey would chase a man and get jint his mouth and down his throat whether he wanted it, or not. If that's the case, whisky is a terrible monster. Mr. Weston is a lreacher, imd be says it bites like a serlent, ani stings like an adder, and lhe says t lat serpents and adders are snakes. I have been thiuking alout, it a good deal, and I can't just understaud how whisky can get. into tho shape of snakes, but that must be the woy ot it., for huow could whisky chase aL manil and get dowr his throat, unless it id first get into1 tin shape of a snake, and thien run along tin ground andl climb up his legs and lmni down his throat? And 1 think this must lie thme way it, because 1 heard f-am my WVeston tel about a dtriunlaird thait Iuul snakes in i: boots. I reckon thle snaikes coainm climb clear up to the. muan's miout. ant .so they got into his hoots. I I hadl to have sniikes at aill, I'd at amwful sight rather they woumld get int< my boots than to get into my ipouthm ant down my throat. And, speaingi of bootn, I've got m3~ tirst p)air on now. M\.y pa 2 ever luad money t o buy mat hoots, but he hail money to bnuy a akns. Now, which is the worst? fAnakes, ol course. I said my mother was dead. Tes, sh< didn't live long atter pm broke may l e and drove us out of the house. Mr. Weston says she died of a broket * heart. I reckon when people die of broken hearts they cry a good ideal. That's tii * iway it was with mother, anyhow. .1 asked Mur. Weston if he did in't thiiinl that w~heni may poor mother died of brokenm heart, soniebodiy oughtn't to gt over and make my pa die of a biroike * head, lie b)eganu it, you know. Mr. Weston got up and went to 1001 for good book. 1 wonder if lhe though it wa- icked for me to say tht. I tinued. I saidi I giuesseid it wouh be about right, forn ho had given miothe a broken heart anid meO a brokeni leg, nui it would only be dloinig him justice t< give him a broken hiead. Mr. Weston didn't say anything, bui continued to look for the book. Bunt 1 aim glad my miothier is dleadI. She sighed so much, and she cried necarly al the time, and Mr. W~esta-n says ho be lieves that she has gone whore there ii nio sighing nor crying, and where (God wipes all tears away. * .1I donl't reckon pa will ever' got into that good place where mother and God aire. * ~ When I get to lie a big man, I intend to fight whisky and snakes as long as I 1 don't like peop)le that sell whisky. I' ~If I could talk well, woldnhL't I give ~~ ' thienm a blowing ump? If nobody had sold pa whisky he couldn't have got drunk.

National QApital than is -W. W. Corcoran, Washington's aged millionaire aid philantbtoplst, and the announcement of the t that he had suffered a (artial stroke of pai-alysis cre ated a very general sensation throughout the city. If evidence were lacking as to the :general feeling of anxiety which pre vails, it would be at once supplied by a re view of the enormous pile of cards which were deposited upon the card table in the hall of Mr. Corcoran's residence upon the day following the announcement of his illness. Nearly every person of note in the city had a card there. Among others were those of Secretaries Bayard, Whit ney and Fairchild; the French, German and Lirazilian Ministers, Baron and Baron ess Rosen, Admiral Porter. Admiral John 11. Russell, Medical Director F. L. 11arvey and the oflicers of the Washington Monu ment Association, of which Mr. Corcoran is the president. While there has been a marked improvement in Mr. Corcoran's condition since last Tuesday, and he is now able to sit up a portion of the time, still the physicians repre.sent that his life is in the balance. Against the unfavorable con tiition of his extreme ol age, the rareness of recovery in such eases, and the possibil ity that an additionhl strok(' of paralysis may come at any timte, there are the favor able circumstances that the patient. is en (lowed with a remarkable strong c.)nstitu" tion, and his general health is good.

If all so-camlledl remedl'ies haive faiiledl )r. ai age's Catrrhm 1&nedire - 1se Piedmont inpotItln. Thie exposition which will open in At lanta on the 10th of October promises to surpass in magnitude and grandeur the cotton exhibit held there some years ago. The Piedmont section of the South will he fully represe nted and the ECxposition wvill hold for two weeks. The main featuris of the occasion may be brieliy stated as follows: President ('leveland an(1 som members of his cabinet will certainly be there. .This fact, is advertised with his per mission. The premium list covers $20.000. There is also over $10,000 in racing pursrs, and 200 of the finest races in the (mntry will be there. There is $3,500 in 'nilita ry prizes. There will be an encampment ii a ,rand review by the President. 'i'lh pyrotechnic display is guaranteed to be the finest ever seen in America except at the opening of the Brooklyn bridge, and will cost $9,000 for three nights. One of the features will be Niagara Falls in fire works, a living wall of light, 00 feet high and 150 feet long. Atlanta spends $150,000 on grounds and buildings. The buildings excel in beauty and size those of the cotton exposition. Every (Iay will be full of sport and amusvmpnt for the crowd. The rail roads will give iedced rates, ccrtainly round trip tickets, at pedhap5 a cent a mile. Arrangements for reaching the grounds are pci'feet. Both the railroads an( street cars run into the grounds. The Exposition will undoubtedly be the biggest show ever held in the South and will mnal} an exhibit of the riches of the Piedmont region never before equalled. Fair Play Astd F or. Under the heading ''Give Virginia Fair Play," the Richmond Slate of Monday evening enters into a long and exhaustive analysis of the debt qfucstion, with the view of showing that the people of the Old 1)o minion are fully justified in refusing any longer to 'tamper with impossibilities.' 4 proposition was ma(le to the bond holders to pay tei $!3,W interest every Ve: on a capital of $23,2;7, 00. 'ih' represin tatives of the bond holders demand interest to the amount ocf $j 11 1,58 annually on :a principal of $c2,3i,15;. A' at Pt,: - ance of the latter proposition would ne cessitate ain increase of taxation, cruel to the impoverished agricultural sections of the State, or. further cripple ilhe public schools, in which, as it is, only al per cent, of t)e children of school age are enrolled, t1iiGpe,ojp ea1 never agree to it. They cannot be luaue to .;ellee Ibtt i sat'ritie which to rany of thehi'1eaycd int,ect: woul(t mican f-uip can reasonably he cx pected of them, even to pay hlie public in debtedness that hangs aronm their neeks like a millstone. It is a situation that en titles them to the syiipathies of the country, and if they are forced into repidiation at last, the event, though to be deplored, will ,ot he WitIhQ!ut its many mitigating cireunm stncef. Unse HaIl Pronaw. The Boston herald has been figuriing on the profits of base ball. The 11frald takc s Boston as a good example hv which to illustrate the profitableness of this new business: There will be ahi oi I (l gamu r base ball played in the League Association (luring the season, of which ab1oul t 20 li already been played. The attendain"c at tlen has avcraged fully -11)00 people. 'hi', at, 50 (ets a Iicket, yields (onsidcrably more than $2,0O a g:one, for thei- lrle r. served1 seats, to the auitint of 1, 10 in numb her, at 25 and 5(1 cents each, the nl of which are generally sold, and the- m e perguisites of the grounds which bring in money. It is a low estimate to set d'n i the receipts of the season at jl25,00). Out of this are to be taken, perhaps, :; ,(ttltt for salaries of players, $2,500 for ground expenses and a coisiderable sui for tihe: cost of transporting the players from one city to another. It, will be liberal to call this altogether $ii0,000). 'The p)roti ts. thlere fore, that the season of live miht his will rep)resent wvill be $75,000.
