Subject
A mother grieves as her son has become a frequent visitor at saloons. He is no longer the innocent boy she once knew, and now is just a degenerate who wastes all his money drinking in saloons. This comic plays on a common fear of the era that children would throw away their success and futures by drinking them away.
Description
A mother stares longingly at a old photo of her son. Her son now is a saloon wasting all his money on gambling and alcohol he is no longer the once pure little boy she once had.
