Alfred walked into one of the village groceries hpWling a cigaret between his fingers as he had seen men hold their ei- gars. "Good morning, Mr. Hepburn," he said cheerily, "don't you want to hire a l>oy? School is over and mother needs my help in supporting the family." "Well, I might take a boy in training if I conld get the right kind." replied Mr. Hepburn. "A year or two ago I thought you would suit me bnt you are smoking too many eigarets lately. These smok­ ing boys waste too mnch time rolling eigarets and loitering around. No, my rtoy, you don't suit me." Alfred was somewhat embarrassed at this unexpected reply aqd as he walked along tile street be threw away his ci­ garet with a mutter,, "didn't know he vas one of these cranks against tobacco." Alfred stopped to consider. It. was a new idea to him that cigftret smoking aarred a boy from desirable employment tie concluded to try in a part, of the rowu where he was not known. However, he succeeded no better. Mien ooked at him sharply and several asked aim the direct question, "Do you smoke •igH,rets?" At. the hesitating "Yes sir." d ime the decided answer,'*1 guess jou won't do. boy." „ J" Alfred then concluded to try a doctor. Entering the nearest office he asked: 'Toctor, do you need a boy to tend of­ fice?" "Yes if I can get the right kind," •ind he looked keenly at Alfred as he -said "you smoke eigarets, don't you?" "Yes, sir " "Well, you won't do La dies who wait in the office do not like the odor of eigarets. Besides, smokers *con become lazy. Sorry, boy, but you will have to look else .vhere." As the liscouraged boy was about to start for home he entered a lawyer's office. The attorney sat at his desk smoking a cigar Upon being questioned he too objected to a cigaret smoker. "But you smoke cigars," reminded Alfred. "Yes, I wish I didn't. I would give a hundred dol lars to any man who. would take away my desire for cigars. They harm me Cigarets are worse, though Sonny, you would better quit before they get a hold on you." Alfred did much think­ ing that night and decided to quit smok ing. During his hunt for work the next morning he answered, "No, sir," to t&e often repeated question, do you smoke cigarets? but his stained fingers made his word doubted. Finding all indoor employment barred to him he offered himself as a helper to a mortar carrier. This time he was accepted. As he sat at noon eating his luncheon of crackers and cheese in company with Tom, a big, strong Irish boy, he was so very tired that he was persuaded to suioke a cigaret with bis companion. "How long have you smoked?" asked Tom. "You are a little fellow." "Two years, I am fifteen ndw." "That's just bow old I was, but I was about as big then as I am now." Just then a tall, handsome man,owner of the building on which they were working and who evidently had been listening said to Alfred: "I think smok­ ing eigarets is what stunted your growth. You would better quit, my hoy. It is a good thing Tom here was nearly grown up when he began." Alfred kept bravely at the rough work, olten giving way to the tempta­ tion of the cigaret, until one day he prained bis ankle while carrying an ex­ tra heavy load. They took him to the nearby office of the doctor who had re­ fused him employment. After making the boy as comfortable as pcssiole the doctor said: "You will be laid up in the bouse a spell and that will be a good time to quit smoking. The boys can't tempt you." Alfred then and tnere de­ termined to conquer the cigaret and with the doctor's cherry encouragement he did conquer. Soinehow there seems to be an unusual comradeship between this doctor and his new office boy, Al­ fred. A DIALOGUE. The boy--Say, pa, is there the most fun in the saloon or in the home? Pa--In the home, certainly. The sa­ loon is the foe of the home and of all in­ terests of which the home is the center. Shun the saloon, my boy, whatever you do. It destroys boys. The boy--If that's so, pa, why do peo­ ple keep saloons? Pa --To make money and because they get a license. The boy--Who gives thetn the license? Pa--The government. The boy--Who's the government? Pa--The men elected by the people to make and enforce the laws. The boy--And why don't the people elect men who will stop the saloon from spoiling homes and destroying boys? Pa--I-- I----I don't know. ; The boy--Well, pa, yop always vote for the home, don't you?/ • • Alwjtjr* Kept CiiamherlHln^ Cotigh Rem* fdylti Hl» Houxe. "We would not be without Chamber­ lain's Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand continually in our home,"says W. | W. Kearney, editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. This is what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become set tied in the system. This remedy is also without a peer -for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, wh'ch can only be done when the rem­ edy if kept at hand.
