Harried a Drunkard.
This thrilling story is publish
ed by request in the hope that
the girl who wants to reform a
drinking man by marrying him,
will think twice before she un
dertakes the job. Nearly every
community has seen it tried.
Who has seen it win out? Here
is the story of one who thought
it possible:
"When I married a drunkard I
reached the acme of misery." "I
was young," and oh, so happy!
I married the man I loved, and
who proffered to love me. He
was a drunkard, and 1 knew it
knew it, but did not understand
it. There is not a young girl that
does understand it, unless she
has a drunkard in her family;
then, perhaps, she knows bow
deeply the iron enters the soul
of a woman, when she loves, and
is allied to a drunkard, whether
father, husband, brother or son.
i rirla, believe me when 1 tell you
that to marry a drunkard, love a
drunkard is the crown of all mis
ery. I have goiie through the
deep waters, and know. I have
gamed that fearful knowledge at
the expense of happiness, sanity,
and almost life itself. Do you
wonder my hair is white?
It turned white in a night,
"bleached by sorrow," as Mane
Antionette said of her hair. I
am not forty years old, yet the
snows of seventy rest upon my
head; and upon my heart ah? I
can not begin to count the win
ters resting there," she said with
unutterable pathos in her voxc
My husband was a profession
al man. His calling took him
from home frequently at night,
and when he returned, he return
ed drunk. Gradually he gave up
to temptation in the day, until he
was rarely sober. I had two
lovely little girls, and a boy."
"My husband had been drinking
deeply. I had not seen him for
two days. He had kept away
from his home. One night 1 was
seated next my sick boy. The
two little pirls were in bed in the
next room, into which I heard
my husband go, as he entered
the house. The room communi
cated with the one in which my
little girls were sleeping. I do
not know why, bnt a feeling of
terror took possession of me and
I felt that my little girls were in
danger. 1 arose and went to the
room. The door was locked. I
knocked on it frantically, but no
answer came. I seemed to be
endowed with more aaperhuman
strength, and, throwing myself
with all my force against the door
A WORD FOR MOTHERS

the lock gave way and the door
flew open. Ob, the sight, the
terrible sight!"
"Delirium tremens! you have
never seen it, girls. God grant
that you never may, My bus-
band stood beside the bed, his
eyes glaring with insanity, and
in his hand a large knife.
"Take them away" he scream
ed, "the horrible things, they are
crawling all over me. Take them
away, I say!" and he flourished
the knife in the air. Regardless
of danger I rushed up to the bed
and my heart seemed suddenly
to cease beating. There lay my
children, covered with their life
blood, slain by their own father!
For a moment I could not utter a
sound. I was literally dumb in
the presence of this terrible sor
row, I scarcely heeded the mam
ac at my side the man who had
wrought me all this woe. Then
I uttered a loud scream, and my
waitings filled the air. The ser
vants heard me and hastened to
the room, and when my husband
saw them he suddenly drew the
knife across bis own throat. I
was borne senseless from the
room that contained the bodies
of slaughtered children, and the
body of my husband. The next
day my hair was white, and my
mind so shattered that I knew
no one.
"Two years," she continued,
"iwasa mental wreck; then I
recovered from the shock, and
absorbed myself in the care of
my boy. But the the sin of the
father wts visited upon the child,
and six months ago my boy of
eighteen was placed in a drunk
ard's grave; and as I, his loving
mother, stood and saw the sod
heaped over him, I said. "Thank
God! I'd rather see him there
than have him live a drunkard,"
and I turned unto my desolate
home a childless woman one on
whom the hand of God bad rest
ed heavily.
"Girls, it is you I wish to res
cue from the fate that overtook
me. Do not blast your life as 1
have blasted mine; do not be
drawn into the madness of mar
rying a drunkard. You love him!
So much the worse for you; for
married to him, the greater will
be your misery because of your
love. You will marry him then
reform him, so you say. Ah! a
woman sadly overrates her
strength when she undertakes to
do this. You are no match for
the giant demon 'drintc,' when he
possesses a man's body and soul.
You are no match for him, I say.
Vhat is your puny strength be
side his gigantic force? He will
crush you, too. It is to save you,
girls, from the sorrows that
wrecked my happiness, that I
have unfolded my history to you.

Six Thousand Killed Annually.
Peace haB its violent death list
as well as war. Statistics set
forth in a folder by theBafety
first committee of the Indianap
olis Chamber of , Commerce, as
part of the "safety first" cam
paign, show that 6,000 persons
are killed annually in the United
States in automobile and vehicle
accidents. It does not classify
the kind of accidents under this
general head, but informs the
most casual readers of the num
ber of accidents due to the failure
of drivers of automobiles and
other vehicles to exercise proper
precaution when approaching a
railroad crossing. Sometimes a
driver is unable to see up or down
a railroad track, his view being
obstructed by a building, a
freight car or a high bank, and
he takes a chance that no trains
are approaching. Sometimes he
wins in this gamble, and some
times he doesn't Sometimes the
service of a coroner are neces
sary, and sometimes the services
of a doctor suffice in this class of
accidents due to the driver's fail
ure to realize the vital import
ance of "safety first" The sta
tistics relative to railroads, in the
folder, show that 5,700 persons
are killed every year by trespas
sing on railroads and "flipping"
on cars, and that dnring the last
twenty-five years 123,611 persons
were injured walking on railroad
tracks and "flipping" on cars.
Of course, some bit of railroad
track may prove tempting as af
fording a short cut to the factory
where one is employed, or a few
minutes in time may be saved by
"hopping" a freight as it rum
bles by. But the statistics indi
cate that there is quite a chance
that' the "short cut" will be a
short cut to ' the hospital or the
grave and that the time-saving
device of "hopping" the train
will result in one being crippled
or killed. Of course, these fig
ures, as to vehicles and along the
railroad tracks, form only a part
of the total accidents. The sta
tistics for the general classes are
given in the folder, and in every
way feasible the attention of the
public is being called during this
"safety first" campaign to the
vital importance of "safety
first"
Builds I'p "Worn-Out Farm.
Is intelligent farm management
worth while? In Broome Coun
ty, New York, a man two years
ago bought a "worn-out" farm of
65 acres for $16,32 per acre, and
in two years made it pay 32 per
cent on the investment In ad
dition he increased the market
value of the farm several times.
The purchaser engaged a tenant
to live on the farm and work un
der his direction. The land had
been cropped continuously for a
number of years to hay and buck
wheat and as a result the soil
was in poor physical condition
and lacked productiveness.
The first year the yield of po
tatoes from four acres was 90
bushels per acre. The next year
the yield was 150 bushels per
acre. Commercial fertilizer was
relied upon both seasons to sup
plant food. Lime and fertilizer
were used in raising buckwheat
and oats and the yields raised
materially in the two years. The
owner pastured ten head of
young cattle and renovated an
old orchard on the farm. In ad
dition to the net returns of $694.
60 to the owner, the tenant and
his family made a comfortable
iving. His share of the field
crops was worth over $500 the
econd year, while four cows that
vere kept assisted in the sup
port of his family.
