If he tries the church, the bishop soon
tak,is his measure, and is sorry, very
sorry, etc.
Tho fellow continues to drink, but
. shifts from wine to "Scotch." Ho Is
familiar with the pick-me-up, and can
glvo any druggist pointers In dope.
The monthly allowance from his parents
Is gambled away, and debts aaccumulatc.
He'js getting to bo a nuisance; his par
ents fear him; his brothers shun him; tin
gets blacklisted by merchants, and at
the club he Is falling below par;
nnai must uc uonu witu inuumiH.a uov.i
Why, make a remittance man of him
It's the only thing to do. A passage
ticket to Quebeo Is secured, the youth la
given 10 guineas in cash, and sails away.
You always find him In the steamer's
smoking room, and thcro does he order
up his favorite tipple and shuffle paste
board. Usually on board ship there are men
who makn a pretense of Imbibing
"Scotch'v and wfjio also- shuffle paste
board, and-these ' men soon relieve tfie
remittance man of tho 1 guineas his
mamma gave him. '
He lands In Quebec shaky In nerves
and empty in pocket; but on applying to
n certain barrister,, to whom ho, hfle.a
letter, Jtis found that 10 more, guineas
have yecn remitted for him. IIo,takcs
the moneyi goeo forth to 'the -club,-and
as visual. ' '
A.tvth'ccnd of the month he is again
very shaky 'and'.pennlieas. But promptly
on. tho first of tho month another small
remltance 'comes for him, an also n
railroad ticket to Seattle.
Our remittance man complains bitterly
because tho remittance is so small, but
In his own heart he knows that If It
were fifty times as much is would go as
quickly. The Intent of his parent is to
postpone delirium tremens. They believe
there Is safety In "motion.
And then hes does not want to so ti
Seattle, but ho must go to Seattle, be
cause advi'es say'a remittance has been
sent on there for him In care of a certain
canker, and to stay hero Is to starve.
Ha goes to Seattle, and the Quebec
experience Is repeated. And so he !
sent on to Australia, New Zealond, Hong
Kong, Japan and wherever his guardians
wish a remittance always ahead, like
that sheaf of onts In front of the donkey.
Of course, the hope of Ids friends Is
that he will reform and come back homo
In a year a new man. But the remittance
man seldom dies and never reforms.
The last time 1 crossed the Atlantic thcro
wan one on the ship of a little better
intellectual grade than I had met before.
He had been an Kton boy. graduated at
Oxford nnd was educated for the church.
He laughingly told his new-found friends
in the smoking room ho had gone round
the globe six times as a remittance man.
On the fourth duv he told me all of his
money was spent ten guineas gambled
away and gone for strong drink. The
ship s steuard would not supply him with
more whiskey, and he said that If he
could not borrow money from some one
pn the boat ho would jump overboard.
Ho was placed In tho doctor's enre.
and after a few hours became calm.
Someone suggested thnt the man bo
given his liberty. Just to see If he would
make good his threat to jump overboard.
Hut the captain had the good name of
his .ship at stake, so he detailed two
sailors to watch the man one always on
duty.
Arriving nt New York, 1 went with him
to call on his lawyer: sure enough, the
JV) was, there, all right. And now my
friend went to Chicago. But Matteawan
Is his final destination.
Here wo get an object lesson of what
happens when we do too much for n
youth, dive your boys a chunre to earn
money, and let thcnlearn Its value by
buying a'nd paying for the things they
'need. And also let theiu get the savings
bank habit.
To "give" an education Is as bad as
t give anyth'r.g else. An (duration shoild
be an achievement and not a gift.
Aro tho rich people of America raising
up a' raco of remittance men? Some' of
them are Joslah, some of them ave.
When we do too much for n child, he
will never do much for hrmsclf. Safety
lies In the work habit.
