fifty dollars to bo given to the one who should stand highest in oratory at a public contest faculty had decided who were to make the trial the eight allowed to compote were now announced Of course Ralph Hudson headed the Hat but when of Benjamin was read all were surprised elates were excused and Ben went to his Greek with such a light be did not notice the illnatured remarks at bis expense From the first ho had been given the cold shoulder To begin with his father wsh most hopeless drunkard in town He bad owned the little soap factory but it had long since into other hinds Old Joe ho

ridicule yet In of all efforts of the boys to bounce him bo had worked on for four years and was now about to graduato with tho class- Indeed thero wore even rumors that he even spplrrd to Williams Col lego seniors were excused at oclock and Ben hurried with out a word to his fellows I mutt ho had the appearance of being cold and proud He had no time or money for baseball or frater nities but ho often longed for these pleasures Ho always forgot troubles however when he catne to Utile ho called home for there his little sister woe waiting to spring Into his a kits was resay with her welcome and grandmother left her wish tub by which helped Ben to support the family put tbe dinner on table good Ben exclaimed Im of contestants for the prize So Jessie if I get the fifty dollars you can go

Bannas eyes and they were worao than for I can when it is light Tuoold lady was not surprised for she too thought her boy could do anything So Ben harried to tho factory with a glad heart it is go to have others in us That evening bis joy was changed to vexation for his father came home worse for a visit to Tho Exchange and there was no comfort till Ren gotten miserable off to bed will yon write your speech tonight asked grandma I have a lot of to get out Ill try to begin it grandma What will you write was Jessies eager Doo thinks I have a taste for science so he helped me select The of Science for my subject He is going to lend me some books bnt he cant help me any for our orations are not to be corrected so they will be entirely our own If Ben had found life bard at school before it was almost more than he could endure now that the boys found he was to bo a platform rival The doctors cow was often lot out of tha lot at night had to bant her tip in the morning One day he had to up he search Until a loud bellpwiog in ths Academy cellar told of her biding place In the doctor tried to find the no on boys ready with diversion By climbing in back window of room they were able to cover with soap My WUliatDSj rubbing hit with delight lie cdmea in a hurry be wont notice thing till he down and then be a recitation while op v beat laid plana of well of dis turbed- Dr happened to Ben over to the Academy building before school As ho passed seat he took up the situation at a glance having a screwdriver in pocket he unscrewed the6eatand changed it with its Well pleased that the ahadeaere already lowered he then went on bis way When the boys filed in there was a glancing towards down Land of Bert- Williams who waa dude of and was in new spring suit Please from the boy Who was

night Ben long with hit head buried bands Dr May- land could see the unconcealed faction the boys manifested over Bens lost and he determined boy apeak It waa not of the Romance of Science Ben was thinking now but of of human life realised as never before that burdens came from fathers appe tite for drink and the ease with which that could be Ho remembered home of childhood tho gentle mother who died of a broken heart the sweet little sister abut in darkness because there not money for the operation to restore sight the dear old grandmother growing more bent with toil each day and bis own hard life no pleasure no rest and insults from asso ciates Im only Old Soapy drunken Joe i did not have to cram did for the closing He bad not been a brilliant fltudent but a plodder who did each days work well and now ho had the reward of labor Ho carried off the Latin salutatory which made more bated than over He found no more aoap on deak but bits of old bacon were put in To make matters worse father was arretted in a drunken fight and Ben not only had to pay the costs but endure the taunts of who aald Old Soapy will not fight but Old Joe it for him Ben ached to his muscle but ho wisely kept peace seniors wore to have a weeks vacation and Ben left of oration till then first day ho begged his grandmother to put up dinner Im going to the woods to stay till night he for Im off from the factory and ho ran up to room two ateps at a time The in a pretty writing bad received a in year who waiting heard bint utter a cry of fright followed by some vary language for Ob what is as alio could reach his side Someonn stolen my box and my Its thoao contemptible boys dont mean to mo apeak Why la there Anyone who dont lovo you I in great Ben pretty upturned Ho could not shadow it by telling her he waa only Old Soapy Old Joe Lawaons son and such had no among school mates lie tried to speak hopefully of find ing the essay and felt every with her little ho hunted high and low until forced to give up in despair He had to go to and tell him he could not take port in the doctor declared ho would find thief If It broke up academy But the next day boy denied any knowledge of A day or two later Mr came homo one of his tramps and Ban could not help telling trouble Ho was not prepared for bis fathers guilty took- Ob fatbor I thought of you hidden it Then with the man confessed ho had the writing desk at exchange Ben did not dare to trait himself to speak but snatching hat ran to saloon- The bland owner acknowledged that ho bad taken desk to oblige old friend Just take it and band mo two dollars I advanced on it when convenient Ben thanked him and eagerly opened his treasure but ho dropped it in his excitement for it was empty her on the platform and Ben sprang and look his little darling in bis arms Then while he her aha clung to his sobbing for the audience an instant as the before a storm burst into a cyclone of applause remember the women cried and the girls tore off flowers from breast and hair and threw them at the hero of the hoar No one beard the rest of Dr May lauds speech nor the boys modest thanks As soon as order waa restored announced Hudsons effort and of such deserving worth the com mittee regretted there had not been a prize 11 Doctor may I speak a word exclaimed Ralph springing to feet A of expectation fell on the audience as doctor nodded ap proval wish to say we boys owe Bon a public apology and I have ringleader in sport Ill bo firat to hia pardon and friendship tormented on account of fathers drinking never thinking that our fathers

on good enough to black Bens hoots but were sorry for bur Ben old forgive me heres band The firat man insults you will have to answer to me Im glad you woo prize Ben sprang for ward and tho two grasped bands with faces wreath while tears were not far off- Then the other boys crowded around Ben fairly hugged hip white they tried to explain they thought him proud and cold Tears fell down good old Dr face and he let the people have their way about applause or pretending to have audden colds When he be the doctor said Villa is one of the happiest moments of my life Both of these young men are inexpressibly dear to me and it would bo hard to say which baa won greatest victory to night He who conquers own spirit greater he who a city Before the benediction pronounced have two announce ments to make Oar generoua friend Senator Harper with us and he has concluded there he a sec ond prize So I tike pleasure pre sentiog Mr Ralph Hudson with twentyfive dollars which his oration richly deserves His father our own Judge Hudson the firat prize not enough for the pleasure and pride we feel in our young townsman he fifty dollars to add to tbe Harper prize which I tako pleasure in to Mr Benjamin Law- son Tho benediction few heard solemn words Then Ben went down to receive his grandmothers kits of- congratu lation for it the proudest moment of life Little Jessie carried around by the like a young In of the con gratulations of those who hardly noticed him before Ben saw some thing that made him to the door There sat a man in ragged clothes sobbing as if heart would break It was old Joe who happened to bo sober and slipped in to hear his son speak Oh Ben he groaned Im your curse I never saw it before- Forgive me and help mo to be a man Cobwebs TO St ERA HOUSE- eon aud just like a

words fought for When the morning dawned it found htm asleep in chair the lamp bad burned out but essay written The next Friday evening the larg est church ill Birmingham was crowded for the academy the pride of the town On the sat eight anxious young alt dressed in new clothes except Ben He was too much absorbed in bia own thoughts to notice the glances towards hi rusty coat and patched On the front seat sat Jessie eager face flushed with hope white sat oldfashioned bonnet giving rare sport to the seminary girls between their flirtation with the academy toy Four of the had spoken and received applause lloral offerings Then Ralph Hudson cue How handsome manly be Looked and how well his finely modulated voice rang through the church be pictured of Our Country There was no doubt of the judgment of audience he aat down amid the applause of ad miring friends A More than one smile of acorn was manifest when Br an nounced Mr Ben jamin whose subject is Under Shadow of a Curse Soapy is getting whispered one of the boys and this nerved Ben to forget the sea of upturned faces that at first grew dark before him Ho began in a clear riogiug voice challenged the attention of the moat indifferent You have just heard in eloquent words a picture of the of our country I stand here tonight to prove it a false hope unless the curse that shadows our fair land is removed Bis hearers soon felt that this waa no carefully prepared school boy essay but that a human soul pleading through lips for a cause Rapidly he sketched the poisiMH lies of our beloved country its vat its wealth and its free people Then he drew a graphic picture of its darkened homes its debased cities teeming with misery crime and its politi cal slavery to rum king It is an Eden fairer than a poets dream he went on but the trail of serpent is over nil from hum ble home of the to tho marble where gather noble men made so hot by accident of birth but by tbo choice of a kingly people But if I could bis words I could not give you an idea of their power They fell like burning bursting from a with the lofty passion of a burdened Quo audience I the hand The farmers around- have agreed to grow acres of beets in
