In Reading, Pa., one night recently, a young man, with a child three or four years old, visited half a dozen or more saloons in the central part of the city until he became intoxicated. He said that his wife died last week, that he had no housekeeper, and he and the child now composed the family. Consequently when he went out to have a time he had to take the child along with him. Before this particular time had pro- gressed far he was escorted home by a policeman.
