In tho Midst of My Cellar.

Bribt you will fc-asp with mirprtse when
yo imIMI writm- mis in my wum,
.tatlun not down here for the. rensoni
tht you prob'Iy think, which l that I
goneTto work and laid In a stock
of the Keeley Cure antidote since pro
Wbtlon become the latest stato to Join
th union. As you know. I nt no time
mt n. hound for the demoniac- rum. only
takV a few seldels of Scotch or the
like now and then rather than offend n
friend or the etc Also when the ratl
fleitlon epidemic ravaped tho country
F made up my mind I would start rlKht
in to shun the saloons Instead of waltln'
111 the doors of the same was slammed
In mr face. Dut of course If a K"y fLads
hlmsilf tcTbe dissatisfied with the lhfokt
CTndltlons In the United States at tho
present" he an eo to tho countries of
.TAhods Island or New Jersey, both of
which has taken the stand that you can
lead aiman to water but you cannot
make him drink It, cxcjpt as a chaser.
Tho real reason that I am wrllln' this
later down In the cellar, amongst tho
coal and bottles of rrapo Juice with the
conventional thrco raisins and a yeast
cake Inside of them, Is because I lmvo
now became a valet to my furnace which
Ii have taken the liberty, of namln'
Bombardier Wells after the English
heavyweight, on account of It always
coin' out. This $40 the week chauffeur
which we need the same way I nocd a
third ear, claims he was hired nn a
nr1neer and not as a fireman and If he
wanted to shovel coal for a llvln' he
never would of wasted his time from
to. night school, and the two maids
simply give vent to hysterically laughter
when I gently Inquired would they look
after the furnace. So beln' faced with
a mutiny on all sides, Joe, with the
winter In the full sway and It beln" as
fcard to get help here as It would bo
to get frost bitten In Southern Hades,
they In nothln' left for me to do but go
Town In the cellar several times a day
ana mingle with the ashes and tho etc.
Joe, If a man Is born to bo a coal
heaver he might as well be one nnd be
done with It. because they Is no use
tryln to dodge your destination as
Napoleon had the habit of remarkln'.
unless of course let us take Germany
for the example where some years oro
ft guy which was born for the ash heap
was mado kaiser but Is now occupyln
his proper position and here only a
short while ago them guys elected a
president which was bom a saddlemaker
ahd bo far he can hardly tell the dlr-
"now here In tho U. S., Joe, It don't
matter what stations of life you man
age to get bom In, because a poor
man has the same chance as a well
fixed millionaire and both Is equal in
the eyes of their fellow cltlrens the
minute they are dead. If you will de
voto eome attention to the nowspapers
you will sea pretty near every day
whim. Mrnn piiir whleii has lucked his
way to the top of the heap tells the
world just how ho was able to ralso
himself rrom douv vaioi o wio iw,
pigs and chickens away out west In
Philadelphia or some of our other farm
In' lends at, 17.50 the year, to beln
now commander In chief of the InslpW
Succotash Foundry at J600.000 a week,
outside of commissions. Joe, In caso
they Is no newspapers available, I will
tell you how all them articles reads,
because I have made somethln of a
study of them In a effort to find out if
they jvasn't ono of them guys at tho
least which had climbed to success that
started llfo with a college eduoatton,
moderately fixed parents, a lotta influen
tial fiHnr1a ami n. croocl r,alarV.
But. Joe. nftor rendln' the confessions
of about 1000 of our great men I am
convinced that all tho things I have Just
mentioned Is a tcrrlblo handicap to a
youth which Is startln' out to tako tho
universe nnd "make It llko It. It seoms
that all the education any of them suc
cesses ever had was barely enough to
toll how much Is 1 and 2, all their par
ents was do poor that the first time they
seen the almshunso they thought It was
Buckingham Palace, the- went through
hardships which would make, n voyage
to tho North's Pole seem like a Btroll
through Central Patk, nobody ever
helped them wlti as much ns a pleasant
grin and fln'ly, through gottln' up to
hustle at 3:30 a, m. in tho mornln's nnd
studyin' the Lives of the Salnta at nights
Instead of wllln' away the golden hours
nt stud poker, they arrived at tho top.
Joe, none of them guya has any hesita
tion about comln' right out with all that
stuff Whether they dono It or' not, so 1
would suggest if you wanna get over,
you better quit whatever you arc doln'
for a llvln' now and get a Job somo
whercs as a street cleaner or the like to
start and in w time at nil you will
prob'Iy have a bankroll which will mako

I nm a hopeless caso mysolf and have
no chance to get anywheres, because I
went as far ns the sixth grado in school
instead of not goln' near tho joint nt
all nnd also my parents was fairly woll
oft and I never had to work in no stnblo
or nothln", so you can see my chances
was killed nt the start, hey Joe-

By that time, Joe, I was fully awake

"What's tho Ides, of wakln mo when

"What has happened now?" I says,
loapin' from the bed. "Don't tell mo
they Is anything wrong with my baby I"
"Mon Dloul" remarks Jeanne, a flash
of Ivory tlntln' the roee of her cheeks.
"Always you think of the most horrible

"Hurry I" she says. "Wo have but
an hour to get to tho boat"
"Say listen 1" I asks. "Would you
mind irlvin' mo a faintly Idea of what

Well, Joo, at that Jeanne comes over
and places n. arm nrouna my maniy necK.
Then sho releases a smllo which as

"Aveo plalslrl Wo go to that pier

Jeanne keeps that smile In high nnd
