parsed at fmtlff Intonals; now and
tlun n nlchl wui Iter hut i led by. his
lootRtcp.s llr.slnp; out loud and clear in
tho stllliUM?. In front of a s-alnon
mIicm" llu'hts shone out bright and
uuldy acros.s the paement stood a
tiamp. uiiFliorn, raffled, ditty, disust
lns Ho u .itched with einlons ij e-
tho men who piihseil in and out thtoUKli

ids pus tow aid two ouiitf follows in
oNonitiK dihs who woie coining down
tliostioet tow aid hltn. They had been
ill inking deepb, and they stopped bp
loro tho vuionn door and looked etui

Ho ran his hand in his pocket and
piotferod th turnip a tllnip, but bo
joro It or fid bo accepted tho other
jiuiir icllow intelpo-ed.
' Say," ho vald. let's do the good
Samaiit.ui and .sot Hobo up to a good
Ii ink."
Tho othoi hllailously consented, and
tho tramp slouthtd into tho saloon at
tho lurls of tho two Rllded ".nutlis.
Tho baiKeonei sot bofoit. them glas-i-os
and Illinois, and with a hand that
shook tho tiamp pound out a bilm
inlns 2luss and talsed It to his 11 pa.
"Stop," i lied ono of tho ounir men
diunkeiily. "mako us a speech. It is
poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a
man's toni;uo."
The tiamp hastily mw allowed down
the ill Ink, and as the llch liquor
( ourscil thlouch his blood ho stialRht-
noil hlni'-olf and stood bofoie them
with a n'race and disunity that all his
i.irs and dlit could not obscuie.
'(lontlrmen " he said. "I look to
niulil at .Mm and at mjsolf, and It
s-iiiih to me I look uoon the picture
of my lost manhood This bloated face
was onto as .onus and handsome as
ouis. This shambling- ilgure onco
walked as pruudlv as Minis, a man In
a w ni M of men I ton, imio had home,
mid fiirnds and po.-itlon I had a wife
beautiful ns an aitlsfs dieam, and
I diopped tho uiicoloss peatl of her
honor and ippeu in the wide oup, and
Clpopatta-llke, raw it dlssohe, and
quaffed It down hi the bilmmlntr
ilinui;ht. 1 had ihlldten as sweet and
lovely as the llowois of .spiinsf. and I
saw t'"oin fade and dlo under the
bllRhlliiK fiurp of a diunkaid father.
1 had n homo whole low lit the (lame
upon tho altar and mlnlstoud befoio
it. and I put out the liolv tile, and
darkness and desolation telR-ned In Its
stead. 1 had ampliations nnd ambitions
that so.ued us high as the morning
.star, and I bioko and biuised their
heintlful wings, and. at last, stinngled
t In ni that I might bo tortuiod with
'holt tries no rime. Today 1 ani a

'I he tramr ceased speaking. The
glass fell trrm his nerveless (lnrois
and shiprod into a thousand frag

doors pushed open and shut again, and
when the little trotip about the bar
looked uji the tiamp was gone

1'iom tho Sun
Two oiiP-k'RBPit li'n were confined
recently in n Jail In a little Kentuelo
town. Oip had n wooden leg nnd the
other, who was a greater rascal nnd
had hnd more means ut Ills command,
woie a cork Irg Apparently well bo
1ium.i1 nnd quiet, both men got the
privilege of the prlsonoirV walk which
lun around outside of th cells. He
.nnd this was the Jailor's walk nnd
be.Mind that was fteedom
The cork-legged man was ically a
desperate character but sly nnd cun
ning. Hi' meditated much on the re
lation of the Jailor's wnlk to tin nut
Fide wot Id. It was only n "step far
ther." he facetiously told his compan
ion, who- admired hi" humor. In mime
manner he became possessed ot a file
with which he com cited a case l-culf -Into
a saw. With tills he suteeedeil in
sawing in two ono of the lars of his
cell. Ho mndo a conlldr.nt of his fel
low prisoner, who expected to Join him
in his omp. The nl.ui was no well
concealed that fiiiiillj nothing but one
lion bar, which could easily be sawed
In two during tho night, stood between
them and llbcrtj.
At almost the critical monif nt, Wood
cnlig. tin listing his hand Into his
troueots' pocket on the side where he
didn't feci found that Corkleg had de
libeiately robbed hlni of his pile, a live
dollar bill. lit hesitated a moment,

aiiM? ho had been deprived of Its Jos
Hut townge, to him, was sweeter .lust
as his Qompanlon, flush d with sueet ss.
was almost iraily to step out Into tho
wide, wide wo: Id. Woodenleg squcultd,
and tho f tape was frustrated.
Tho two are still confined In the Jill,
and. while the one meditator upon hon
esty being the btst policy, the other
poiideis ovoi the question: "Is llbeity
or lovenge the sweeter?"

A LITTLE GUFFERER
Facs, Hands nnd Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Curo
Was Effected.
' When flvo vcars old mv littlo boy had
scrofula on his face, hands nnd arms. It
was v.orsl on his chin, although tho sores
on his checks nnd hinds wcio very bad.
It appeared In tho form of red pimplej
which would fester, break open ami run
nnd then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intenso itching nnd the littlu sufferer hnd
to he watched continually to Keep Mm
from scratching the Bores. Wo becanio
irrently alarmed at hii condition. My
wife's mother hid had scrofula anil tho
only medicine which had hclpd her v.ni
Hood's Snr3iprllla. V.'o decided to Rivo
It to our boy nnd wo noted an improve
ment in his case very booh. After giving
him four bottles of Hood's S.-rsaparilla
tlio humor had nil been U-iven out of his
blood nnd it lias never slnco returned."
