THE DRINKING HOUSE OVER THE
WAY.
The room was so cold, so cheerless and bare,
With its rickety table and one broken
chair,
And its curtainless window with hardly a
pane
To keep out the snow, the wind and the
rain.
A cradle stood empty, pushed up to the
wall,
And how that d the saddest of
all.
In the old rusty stove the fire was dead;
There was snow on the floor at foot of the
bed.
And there all alone a pale woman was ly-
ing,
You need not look twice to see she was dy-
ing;
Dying of want—of hunger and cold.
Shall I tell you the story—the story she
told?
“No, ma'am, I’m no better, my cough is so
bad;
It’s wearing me out, though, and that
makes me glad,
For it’s wearisome living” when one’s
alone,
And heaven, they tell me, is just like a
home.
‘Yes, ma’am, I’ve a ‘husband, he’s some-
where about;
I hoped he’d come in fore the fire wentout;
But I guess he’s gone where he’s likely to
stay—
1 mean the drinking house over the way.
It was not so always, I Hope you won’t think
Too hard of him, lady, it’s only the drink.
I know he’sk ind-hearted, for oh, how Lhe
cried
For our poor little baby the morning it
died!
You see he took sudden, and grew very bad,
And we had no doctor—my poor little lad!
For his father had gonegnever meaning to
all
stay,
1 am sure, to the drinking house over the
way.
¢And when he came back ’twas_ far in the
night, >
And I was so tired and sick with the fright,
Of staying so long with my Laby alone,
And it cutting my heart with its pitiful
moan.
He was cross with the drink, poor fellow, 1
know
It was that, not his baby, that bothered him
So;
But he swore at the child, as panting it lay,
And went back to the drinking house over
the way.
“I heard the gate slam and my heart seem-
ed to freeze
Like ice in my bosom, and there on my
knees
By the side of the cradle, all shivering, I
stayed;
I wanted my mother, I cried and I prayed:
“The clock it struck two fore my baby was
still,
And my thoughts they went back to the
home on the hill,
Where my happy girlhood had spent its
short day,
Far, far from the drinking house over the
way.
“Could I be that girl! I, the heart-broken
wife,
There watching alone, while that dear little
life
Was going so fast that I had to bend low
To hear if he breathed, ’twas so faint and so
slow.
“Yes, it was easy, his dying, he just grew
more white,
And his eyes opened wider to look for the
light.
As his father came in twas just break of
day,
Came in'from the drinking house over the
way.
“Yes, ma'am, he was sober, at least, mostly I
think,
He often stayed that.way to wear off the
drink,
And I know he was sorry for what he had
done, :
For he set great store by our first little sor.
“And straight did he come to the cradle bed
where
Our baby lay dead, so pretty and fair;
I wondered that I could have wished him
to stay
When there was a drinking house over the
way.
“He stood quiet a while, did not understand,
You see, ma’am, till he touched the little
cold hand; ~
Oh, then came the tears, and he shook like
a leaf,
And said: “Twas the drinking had
all the grief.”
“The neighbors were kind and the minister
came,
And he talked of seeing my baby again;
And of the bright angels—I wonder if they
Could see into that drinking house over the
way.
“And I thought when my baby was put in
the ground,
And the man with the spade was shaping
the mound,
If somebody only would help me to-save
My husband, who stood by my side at the
grave.
“If it were not so handy, the drink!
The men that make laws, ma’am, surely
don’t think
Of the hearts they would break, of the souls
they would slay,
When they licensed that drinking house
over the way.
“I've been sick ever since, it can not be"
long; :
Be pitiful, lady, to him when I'm gone;
He wants todo right, but you never would
think
How weak a man grows when he’s fond of
the drink.
“And it’s tempting him here and it’s tempt-
ing him there;
made
Four places I’ve, counted in this very
square
Where a man can get whiskey by night and
by day,
Not to reckon the drinking house over the
way.
‘There’s a verse in the Bible the minister
read:
‘No drunkard shall enter heaven,’ it said,
And he is my husbandand I love him so,
And where I am going I want him to go.
Our baby and I will both want him there;
Don’t you think the dear Jesus will hear to
my prayer?
And please, when I'm gone, ask some one
to pray
For him at the drinking house over the
way.

A BOOST FROM NEVADA.
Our Political Platform Read With
Interest in the Far West—Sam
Kimmel’s Mining Prospects.
WELLINGTON, NEV., March 11, 1908.
Mr. P. L. Livengood, Elk Lick, Pa.
My Dear CousiN:—I read your an-
nouncement in THE STAR, as a candi-
date for the Stste Legislature, with
much pleasure. Therefore, I feel like
offering congratulations, for I admire
the stand yourhave taken; first of all
that you only ask for a seat by meang
that are honorable and manly. Also
the stand you have taken in regard to
the liquor traffic; local option, in my
opinion; is one of the first steps towards
national prohibition, which I heartily
endorse, and may God speed the day
for its realization. The liquor traffic is
a nuisance, a blot on civilization and
the pringipal foundation for much un-
happiness, poverty and crime in our
fair land. Our penal institutions are
crowded with unfortunates that can
trace the beginning of their criminal
careers by imbibing too freely of the
flowing bowl.
No right thinking people will deny
the above assertions, because they are
the simple and naked truth. I do hope
the majority of the voters of Somerset
county are of the proper thinking kind,
and will express their true sentiments
at the polls in accordance, and elect to
office such candidates that are seeking
honorable places by honorable means
only, to represent the state and county,
or rather its people, by showing their
colors before election and abiding by
them thereafter. Any candidate that
is trying to “carry water on both
shoulders” before election, is only fit
to misrepresent the people and office,
and should be made go away back and
sit down.
If I had any idea that you are seek-
ing a seat in the Legislative halls of
your great commonwealth simply to
become a grafter and a bribe-taker,
and for personal gain only, I would not
wish you success. However, your past
journalistic career should be sufficient
proof to the voters of Somerset county
that you are neither a dodger, nature-
fakir, mollycoddle or grafter. There-
fore, no voter expressing the true senti-
ment can fail to admire your principles,
ability and honesty, and vote in ac-
cordance. I am yours very truly,
8. A. KIMMEL.
P.S. Have been engaged the past
year at prospecting for the ‘‘precious
stuff,” and in developing a claim since
July 1st. Am one of the discoverers
and locaters of a number of what
would indicate to be copper mining
claims, judging from surface outcrops
and assays. Mr. Warren, my mining
partner, and myself, have been direct-
ing our finances, and, other necessary
energies in driving a tunnel, and have
accomplished more than 400 feet of
tunnel and other lateral work since
July 1st. We have developed an ore
body 30 feet wide. Conservative sam-
pling shows 4 feet to. carry 20 per cent.
zinc. The remainder averages 18 per
cent. lead and 5 per cent. zine, and
carries gold values up to $5 per ton,
and a small percentage of copper and
silver.
The unfortunate part for us is that it
turned into lead and zinc instead of
copper. A copper proposition of such
magnitude and same percentage would
mean a regular and profitable producer,
one we could operate without forming
a stock company, and would be much
sought after by the copper kings, al-
though 35 miles from railroad, and the
nearest smelters at San Francisco and
Salt Lake-City.
Perhaps we are in the field too early
for the kind of ore we have developed,
or maybe our tunnel is either 400
feet too long or driven 400 years too
soon. If you are elected to the Legis-
lature, would like to have you use your
good influences towards having about
two cubic miles consisting of our min-
ing possessions removed to the vicinity
of Pittsburg. S.A. KR.
More Evidence Against the Crime
of Vaceination.
A victim of vaccination, a 9-months-
old girl, died in Philadelphia on Friday
night from blood poisoning, which is
declared to have been the direct result
of her inoculation with the vaccine
virus, three weeks ago. Before she
was vaccinated, the baby was strong
and healthy, but two days after the
operation, sores broke out in various
parts of the body, and the doctor who
was called in and who treated her up
until the time of her death, said that
the blood poisoning was caused entirely
by vaccination. The matter has been
brought to the attention of the secre-
tary of the Anti-Vaccination League,
and it will be investigated thoroughly.
The secretary declared that the case
was only one of hundreds where small
children were made the victims of the
practice of vaccination. The league is
endeavoring to have vaccination en-
tirely abolished.—Alexandria Gazette.
For Assembly, vote for P, L. Liven-
good, the candidate who is pledged to
do all in his power for the repeal of
Pennsylvania’s compulsory vaccination
Arnica Salve for several years on my |
old army wound, and other obstinate |
| sores, and find it the best healer in the
| law, if nominated and elected. These
| vaccination murders must cease.
