There is `a clear_.lesson in a story tol by the captain -of a police precinct in New York. One evening a man came to thestation house asking it any lost chil dren were there. Three were asleep in a back room, and the man" went in to see it his own was among the number. He wakened a boy between 2 and 3 years old and asked of him if he were Johnny So-and-so. The little fellow being very sleepy and frightened could not be made to answer, and the man turned away saying he would um 'to_se_nd his wife OVGX`. . ,`._A` C\, __.___ ,, AL I___-_ ______ A __ VVCID What!

So, you see, was quite right. It wasn t a pledge tha` he needed. ? ` . ' T \ Ill 6 Yes," replied the man. The rst time was the very next night after I call- ed on you. A good friend, a railroad man, came `into the oice and after 1 had checked up his accounts, said, `Come, Charlie. let's go over to the Oyster House and have a drink. ~ Well, air, ,1 was reaching for my hat when I remembered the card. I took it out and handed it to him. I thought he would never nish `reading it. He looked at me, and he looked at the card, and then he slowly put his arm down on the counter and said. `Charlie, lid, sooner cut that hand oi! than ask you to drink again. Well, sir, I showed that card several time after that, and every blessed man I showed it to` took it eriously. Sometimes they said, `All right, old _.boy. "Some- times they laid it down without a word. And then-it was last night-I torgot about it, and here I am." 4417... .._- .a-:..._ ....n n ..a.: 11... .1.-...o....

But what am I to do?" he gasped. The doctor drew a card from his desk I and rapidly wrote a few lines. There. he said, read that. This is what the man read: To my /friends: l nd I am becoming a victim of the liquor habit. It I do not quit, I am sure to lose my position and ruin myselt.
