Never giving a child anything he

proper for him to have, promise It to

older residents of Baltimore," remark

"On one occasion Hellly had to Jour

was In the time of the old stagecoaches,
and he mnde Ids way leisurely along.
Upon arriving there he registered at
one of the leading hotels. That leads up
to my story. At that time It wns custom
ary for men to add to their signatures
such titles or evidences of dignity us
they possessed. When Bellly looked
over the hotel register, he saw some
thing Ilko this: 'John Jones, LI- D.;
William Smith, A. M., A. .; Samuel
Johnson, I). I).' Seizing a pen, lie lu
scribed the following: 'John Bellly, I
B. S.' Then he went about his busi
ness and spent a pleasant and profita
ble nftcrnoon.
"Beturnlng to the hotel nt night, he
was met by a committee of leading and
learned citizens. They greeted him
with great deferenceiindexpressed their
gratification that such a distinguished
man should be lu their midst. He was

who "didn't know It was loaded" kills

Is never under any circumstances to
