',:, . 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.
And if lhe hadn't got drunk, hie
* ~ wouldn't have broken lioor mother's
heart.
And he wouldn'it have brokena my leg.

Few persons, ev imncng those who
have figured prominnently in political life,
are better knowi, or moro closely. i entiUed
with the history of the. 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.

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.

Under the heading ''Give Virginia Fair

longer to 'tamper with impossibilities.'

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
