You look puzzled and surprised. You can't make it out. You behold Christopher lying drunk on the highway, with a jug ou one side and a hog on the other. 1t is a fanciful pic- ture. I want you to look ale it closely and keep it in your Minds, and every day for years to come I want you to ask yourself what would have happen- ed if Columbus had been that sort of man. When Ferdinand and Isabella had fitted him out for Lis voyage, suppose Pc had gone and got a three days' jag on and had rolled around in the mud and had had three or four scraps with other old bums. Can you for an instant believe that he would have been left in command of tbe expedition or that this country would have been discovered for the next 50 years? But there was no boozing. He may have taken a farewell drink of root beer or lemon- ade, as was eminently proper, but 11 ended right there, and he became world famous as a • result.
