I um only B0T6U yours of ago, but 1 liavo Boeu enough of whiskey to moke mo hate it forever and forever. 1 can't uiidcrbtund why people will drink it when it is .such un uwful bud th ug und makes them look bo wild und terrible. O, 1 cnn remember how mv pu used to look when he drunk whisky, und 1 cuu remember how Beared mother wu? when be esme home drunk. 1 used to think we were ns good ns other people, for WO hud u nice house nml hud enough to eut, and we all sei ne d to get ulong liest- imo, except wheu pu would go to tho tnvora and get drunk, and then when he came home WO would have an awful tune. ile would strike mother with anything he could get hold of, and once when 1 told bim bo was n bud mun to act that way, lie took mc by one foot und slummed mo doun ucross the room. I WUS hurt ?ind seared too, und mother she screamed awful, and then she picked nie up mid ran out of tile house. It was a Cold night yes, awful cold: 1 eau mind that very well, for when motlier took me to Mr. Weston's house they suid 1 was nearly frozen. ."My les hurt mc uwful bail too, und I cried und cried. When Mr. Weston brought the doctor, he said my leg' was broken, und he set it, und it hurt [netty bad too, but 1 tried not to cry, tor J knew it mude mother feel kind of distressed. But 1 couldn't stop the cry altogether. lt would brook out sometimes. 1 tell you it is pretty bail to have a brok? U leg. It ?8 had for u littie boy, but 1 reckon it wouldn't be so bad for u big boy or n mun. I buted my pa idler thul. What did he break my leg for? 1 asked myself thnt question a good muny times. Wasn't I his own boy?' And hudu't he been good to me befoio? Then why should he risc right up und slum me ucross ibo room und hivuk my leg just because I told him he was a bud mun lo net so ugly und strike motlier? I talked to mother about it when 1 wns lying with my broken leg, and it hurting pretty bud too, and she said it wus whisky that did it. But I told her that il' whisky und pu hudu't got together it wouldn't have bei n done. Whisky in a bottle wouldn't have done it, but whisky in pu is wlial caused the trouble. 1 told motlier 1 wondered why peoph drunk whisky when it mude them so bud. und caused them to slam boys urouut und bri nk their legs. Hbo suid tin \ couldn't help it. When they commence! they were com] died to go ahead. Thcj might try to stop, but they couldn't. I f whisky is ns bud us thnt, oughtn't people lo be very careful? 1 think thoj ought to shut their mouths und strikt right und left when they come near toit, I never asked mother to expluin nil about this, for she died soon alter, mid [ didn't hnvo on opportunity to talk tc her, but I suppose that he mcaul thui whiskey would el ?se u mun and get inte his mouth und dc un his throat whothei he welded it or not. If that's thc ease, whisky is ii terribh monster. Mr. Weston is a preacher, und he sayi lt bites like a serpent, und stings like ai adder, and he nays that sei pents, situ adders ure snakes. I have been thinking about it a gOO( deal, and I can't just understand hov whisky can get into tin; shape ol' suukcs but that must lie thc way of it, for ho\ could whisky chase a mun und get dowi his throat, unless it did li cst git into th sliapo of u snake, und then inn ulong th ground ami climb up his legs and plum] down his throat? And 1 think this must 'oe the way c. it, because 1 heard Sammy Weston* tel about a drunkard that hud BUOkes in hi boots. I reckon tho snakes couldn' climb clear up to thc man's mouth um so they got into his boots. If 1 had to httVC BUOkes nt nil, I'd ul awful sight rather they would get int my boots than to get into my mouth um down my throat, And, speaking of boots, I've j.;jt nv tirst pair on now. My pa t ever had money lo buy m boots, but he hud money to buy soukci Now, which is the worst? Snakes, i course. i said my motlier was dead. Ves, sh didn't live long alter pu broke my lc and drove us out of tho house. Mr. Weston says she died uf 0 bloke hcait. 1 reckon when people die of broke hearts they cry u good deal. 'Hint's th WOY it wns with mother, anyhow. tasked Mr. Weston if he didn't thin that when my pom1 mother died of broken boort, somebody oughtn't to g over und make my pa die of ii broke head. Ile begun it, you know. Mr. Weston got up und went to loo for good book. 1 wonder if he though it wus wicked for me to say thnt. I continued. I said I guessed il woul be about right, lor he hud given mothe a broken heart and me a broken leg, an it would only be doing him ju tico t give liim n broken head. Mr. W?sten didn't say anything, bu con'inned to look for the book. Hut I um glad my mother is dead. Sh sighed so much, and she cried nearly a the timi-, and Mr. '-.Veston says ho bi licves that she luis gone where there i no sighing nor crying, and where (lo wipes all tears away. I don't reckon pu will over get int that good placo wliore motlier and (lu arc. When 1 get to be u big mun, J int? n to light whisky und snakes us long us live. i don't like people Hint sell whisky If 1 could talk well, wouldn't I giv them u blowing up? If nobody hud sold pa whisky h couldn't huve got drunk. And if he hadn't got drunk, h wouldn't have broken poor motlier heart. And he wouldn't have broken my 1O{J ll. Eliott Mcbride.
