SMITH BROS., Dept. 40, Concord, Ga.
“Oh, dear,” said a little sunbeam,
“I am so very small.
I think I’ll just stay at home today
I can do no good at all.”
“No, no,” said the sun, her father,
“Just shine with all your might;
If you only do what is meant for you,
You will find it comes all right.”
That eve as the sun was setting
Came the little sunbeam bright,
“Well,” said the sun, “what have you
done
Since morning’s early light?”
“Oh, father, I’m glad you sent me,
I found a room so sad
Where a poor child lay on a couch all
day,
With nothing to make her glad.
“So I shone with all my little might,
A crowd closely packed around a
dark, ragged-looking object in the
Burlington railway yards one morn
ing. The “thing” was hacked and
jagged beyond language to describe.
“Drunk and lay down on the track
last night.”
Those nine words told the whole
pitiful and too common tragedy.
Even the newspaper reporters spent
scant time over the matter.
The coroner came and smelled of
the empty flask, which by some curi
ous chance had been unbroken. Four
or five deaths of the same sort had
occurred in the railway yards there
the past twelve months, and in every
instance the whiskey bottle had been
unharmed, while the man who carried
it was ground to pieces.
It might have been the mute lesson
of providence.
When a man gets drunk he will
hunt for a railway track. This man
was only thirty-five. He had a wife
and several children and they were
left penniless.
“The man was drunk; there’s no
liability,” said the railroad attorney,
as he turned away. The prosecut
ing attorney advised the coroner not
to put the county to the expense of
an inquest. “It’s too clear a case,” he
said; “the man was drinking.
There’s nobody but himself to blame,
and the county board would object to
a bill for taking evidence.”
The crowd turned away. The
show was over. An undertaker pick
ed up the bunch of clothes and bones
and blood, and put them into a cheap
box. The railroad furnished free
transportation to the destination. Next
day the little tragedy was completed
and the widow and her children walk
ed sorrowfully away from the hillside
cemetery where the bread-winner lay.
In the morning the woman consulted
the lawyer. He listened sympathet
ically, but not hopefully. “I fear
there’s no liability,” he said. “ Your
husband was intoxicated.”
The woman went home with her lit
tle ones huddled about her. She had
no bread for them, but told them she
would get some. She went to a sa
lonkeeper. He was indignant that
she should call on him and refused to
give a cent. “My husband spent most
of his money with you,” she said.
“Well, he got what he paid for,

The Sunbeam’s Lesson
They Signed the Petition
. And she said with a feeble smile,
‘When I get to heaven I mean to ask
To sit in the sun all the while.
“ ‘Dear sunbeam I am so glad you
came
To cheer my lonely room;
Mother’s away at her work all day,
And you seem to lighten the gloom.
“I stayed as long as I could today,
And please may I go tomorrow?
What joy to feel, I can help or heal
Some child in her lonely sorrow.”
The father said, “Dear little sun
beam
Go to sleep and no care borrow;
If you do today what comes in your
way,
God will send you more tomorrow.”
—Selected.
didn’t he?” replied the man with the
white apron.
There was one friend left —her pas
tor. She had not been to Church
much of late, because women dislike
to appear in public in tattered gar
ments. The minister went over to
the county seat andgot the names of
men and women who had signed the
petition for the saloon where the dead
man got most of his whiskey. Then
he took the woman and her children
along. Arriving at the store of the
first merchant, he said:
“Mr. , I see your name here
on the Crystal Palace petition. That’s
where this woman’s husband got the
whiskey that killed him. The law
has let the railroad company and sa
loonkeeper out, and the woman is pen
niless. Now, it’s up to you. Shall
she and her little brood go to the
poor-house, or will you do your duty?
legally she can’t collect a cent from
you. But that man’s blood ”
“That’s enough," said the merchant,
“here’s twenty-five dollars.”
Some got mad at the parson for
“butting in,” but the majority saw the
terrible logic of his argument, and
paid what he asked. It was the first
time the issue had been brought
squarely before their eyes, and being
good men, for the most part, it was a
startling realization. The “chickens
had come home to roost,” and they
didn’t look good.
The preacher wasn’t rough or per
emptory about it; he wa sjust very
grave and earnest, and every man
knew in his heart of hearts, that the
woman’s friend was operating in the
proper jurisdiction. The woman got
enough to tide over the trouble until
she could obtain employment.
When the time came to renew his
petition, the saloonkeeper started
around with his petition and a box of
cigars. He was smiling genially; be
cause it was only a matter of form.
“Excuse me, Bill,” said Smith, the
big merchant, handing the paper back;
“I’d rather not.”
“W-h-a-t!”
“I’m not going to sign any more sa
loon petitions.”
“You’re joking!”
“Well, have it your own way; I
won’t sign.”
“After all the goods I have bought
of you?”
Banish Those
Ugly Pimples
Skin Cleared in a Short Time By
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers, the
Greatest Blood Purifier
Known.
Pimples, blotches, skin eruptions of
all kinds, are simply the impurities in
the blood coming to the surface. All
the external treatment in the world
won’t do a particle of good unless you
Clean Your Back and Face of Pimples,
purify the blood. And there’s nothing
so humiliating as a face that’s all
“broken out” and spotted.
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers will clear
the most obstinate complexion, be
cause they go right into the blood and
remove the cause of the trouble. The
blood is cleansed of all impurities and
foreign substances and these are
quickly eliminated from the system.
You’ll notice a wonderful change in a
few days—you will hardly know your
self in a week.
And Stuart’s Calcium Wafers are
absolutely harmless to any one. Their
ingredients are just what a physician
prescribes in most cases of skin erup
tion and poor blood. These wafers;
are put up in a concentrated form,,
which makes them act quickly and’
thoroughly.
Begin taking Stuart’s Calcium Waf
ers today and then look at yourself in
the mirror in a few days, and find all
those awful pimples, blackheads, acne,
boils, liver spots, rash, eczema and
that muddy complexion rapidly dis
appearing and your face cleared, like
the petal of a flower.
You can obtain Stuart’s Calcium
Wafers' at any drug store at 50 cents
and there is now no reason why any
body should be disfigured by pimples
or any other skin eruption.
“I appreciate your patronage,” said
the merchant.
“I won’t buy another nickel’s worth
from you.”
“All right.”
The saloonkeeper went out noisily.
He was less sanguine when he ap
proached the next man, but more diplo
matic. But his luck was the same.
The man wouldn’t sign. When he re
turned to his saloon he had three
names on his paper, and those were
of men to whom he rented houses.
Next month there was a sign on the
saloon door:
“This building for rent. Will be
refitted for drug, grocery or general
merchandise store.” —American Issue.
