One Thing Lacking.

A young fellow who drank much more than was good for him was advised by bis friends to take the gold cure, but he refused. “But,” protested his friends, “your physician says that if you keep on drinking you will surely soon go blind. Now, the question is simply this: Do you prefer being cured of the drink habit and retaining your sight, or do you prefer to keep on drinking and go blind?” The young man paced the floor for some time, and was in a brown study. Finally he turned to lids friends, and, -with a resigned expression of countenance, replied: “Well, I guess I’ve seen about everything.”
