were seamed and gray his hat greasy and quaintpatterned only three years ago and no mora state ly vigorous bale gentleman walked tlie streets than joseph pollard esq now he was old joe and sometimes poor old joe when be failed he was living in great splendor people to this day point to the pollard mansion and tell you of its former greatness happily there was no dishonor attached to his name he had given up all home horses carriages everything that could be dispensed with his only daughter her name was jo sephine but all her friends called her jeddy gave a birthnight party only a week before the trouble came on ber eighteenth birthnight neven a happier or lovelier girl than she universally ad mired and respected bright as a sunbeam w- tty merry generous iu all that throng of beauty amid the dowers and feasting that man would have been bold indeed who could have presaged corning ill fortune only one week later and the dreadful news came joseph pollard was bankrupt the cashier had been dishonest several large firms had gone down and the run on the bank had completed the ruin the father found a place as an assistant bookkeeper bat he had formed the habit of drinking at his own table little by little hesank at last into what seemed an utterly hopeless state lost his business his pride and almost his wits my dear wrote aunt prue when she heard of this misfortune put your father away there are plenty of places and come and live with me enough for one is enoagh for two aunt prue wrote jeddy indignantly i am ashamed of you what 1 coausel me to put ray own dear father in the poor- hoube for what other place is open to him no i will share his misfortunes if i havo to work my fingers to the oone jeddy im useless im broken down and good for nothing whined poor joe day after day as jeddy sat and stitched her life into the work she had under taken father you are only fiftyeight year old was the answer tfauy a man has begun life anew at your age ah i if i only could f he would make reply and drink again to drown his misery jeddy had carried much of her fine wardrobe with her into the poverty of her surroundings of course she made over and toned down the material but the look of the lady as one of the coarser neighbors aaidwas upon har u be mistook everybody pitied her when old joe came reeling home but few knew bow patiently she put up with his infirmity how the soothed and coaxed him with what tender- nets she anticipated his wants and even when it would seem that he waa scarcely entitled to her respect honored him to her under all his wretched disguises be was still father bat ber constant duties wore heavily upon ber she grew pale and thin then feverish and beotio but still abb worxed on three ttmes a handtomt carriage and pair were teen before be door at ber plain little home the first time a rich aunt same to re monstrate with her and offer her a home she found bar preparing the poor meal oyer the tiny cookstove jeddy yon are the beat girl in the world but yon must go back with me if only for awhile and leave that maatotftke of uitamu tbls was after a most etf ecuonato greet- in for jeddy was her favcfita niece i couldnt ee frtowifcttaeiie-

worst the faltered be dont forgot that be is a gentleman he never was unkind to me fiddlesticks your ideas of duty are exaggerated come- now dont disap point metake a little rest i have come all the way from l on purpose to carry you back and the last words your cousin kitty said as 1 left her were mother dont fail to bring jeddy back i want to tee ber tears came to jeddys brown eyes at the reiterated i eaanot leave father and here you are losing all your beauty all your advantages and even your health i can see it i for your fathers sake you ought to go it would make a new creature of you to see old sight and old faces aad to live a while like a christ- ian why child the walls are damp how do you live t it isnt living aunt its only staying said jeddy trying bravely to smile but that i cant help while father lives theres nobody in all this wide world to care for him but me i know i might live in ease and comfort if i went with yon and oh sometimes my heart does long so for s little of tho oldtime joy i it would be like looking into paradise but i cant leave father there sounded a heavy sigh both women turned round to see the old gaunt man in the doorway the tears streaming down his cheeks as he held forth his trembling hands at if in benediction go jeddy go angel dont stay for me im not worth your care he said pitifully but jeddy thought otherwise long after the splendid carriage bad gone she sat there holding the grey head against her shoulder soothing and petting him and lending a willing ear to his promises of amendment the second carriage brought a stylish young gentleman with whom her friends had often coupled her name he came with an offer of marriage bat jeddy gave him the same soft but determined answer i couldnt leave father and he too went away disconsolate the third carriage contained one who had alwaps been a friend also a young gentleman who had lately returned from a foreign tour he asked no questions and expressed no surprise though the change he taw affect- ed him painfully but like a true friend he resolved to aid both the father and daughter to this purpose be followed the former and quietly tried to hinder him from the abuse of his appetite and gradually gained his confidence then he told bow sadly the change in his daughter had troubled him change exclaimed old joe how is she changed is it possible you do aot see that she is at deaths door what do you mean at deaths door my child my angel ton will kill me i what have i but her you have god and he will help you to redeem yourself if you do that your daughter will live if you do not she will die j that night old joe went- home full of doubts and fears he watched his ohild sick at heart from the news lie heard i can make her live and i will he said resolutely to himself i am not an old man yet lifting his bowed bead with gods help i will be a new one i he went to the curb outside and broke hit pocketflask into a hundred pieces the next day he came home sober the next he had foand a place a small one it was true but in the old bank where he had once reigned master everybody saw the change old joe had new clothes he was respectable to outward teeming once more he became a man among men his knowledgo of the business bis integrity gained him a better position -day- by day be took steps upward day by day the color and brightness came into his daugh ters face and ber step grow light and bor tones joyful 7 it seems like a miracle bat it not that old joe rides in his own carriage again he is mr pollard again cashier of the bank and a power among bit fellows it was just trusting in god and god helping him as he helped himself but the beat of all is bis glorious daughter by sacrificing her self by ber noble fortitude by ber patient

subject of the use of tobacco by boys that it has been prohibited from the boys at the naval academy at annapolis and at die military academy at west point army and navy surgeons have studied and ob served its effeota on the students d al goion of the united states navy gives the following as its effects on the students of the naval academy 1 that it leads to impaired nutrition of the nerve centres 2 that it is a fertile cause of neuralgia vertigo and indigestion 3 that it irritates the month and throat and thus destroys the purity of the voioe i that by excitation of the optic nerve it provokes amaurosis and other defects of vision 5 that is causes a tremulous hand and an intermittent pulse 6 that one of its conspicioua effeota is to develop irritability of the heart 7 that it retards the cell change on which the development of the abolesoent depends this is a formidablo bill of partionlarsc and yet each of these charges is preferred by the best modem authority and what is more each is substantiated by an abund ance of clinical evidence perhaps one more item which is of stilt more consequence is the fact that the hoys who use tobacco are generally satisfied with a lower
