Chicago Times.
Saturday night a woman was found on
comparatively deserted street in Chicago
with her offspring in her arms. The
woman was attired in the remnants Of

over the floor Of = richly furnished man.

against the sky so many nights that 1t

less March wind that made . pandemoni-
um out Of the surroundings whenever
there was anything II could swing. One
might have found some kind OF an ex:
cuse for this utterly homeless woman IL
she had strangled the only thing that was
left her to love-the only thing that ex.
listed to her to remind her that there was
such a, thing rs innocencel But her
mothers instinct remained. No storm
ever washes that away; no ingrati-
tude ever hardens. Several times she
stopped passers by and offered them the
child provided they would be kind TO it,
but her appeals were in vain. At last she
went down TO the river, and walked under
the shadows OF the naked mMts that lined
It's docks like ghastly things in want. The
night overhead was not 80 cheerless as to
be without Its "groye Of stars" and these
unwouud their silver threads until they
seemed to trail in the water and play
with the lispings Of the waves. But there
was nothing else in the shadows except
the church steeples and the mansions OF

glow Of the starlight Once the woman
united the excuse Of q bonnet she wore,
and pulled down her hair. She pressed
the treasure In her arm and kissed IT.
Then she came closer to the water and
looked into It's depths. Whatever des-
perate impulse may have seized her OF
that moment it passed away, and
she turned, back, coiled her hair
and turned her face again to the
streets. She met an officer and told him
she was q vagrant. He took the child in
his own arms and led the wreck Of life to
The Madison street station. This woman
has been stripped Of q fortune 10 less
than two years by a trio Of hardened
wretches. She has been chased from gar.
ret to cellar by men who, having ruined
and robbed her Of all that she possessed,
besides running her daughter, who 10 at
the brideWall to-day, have hunted her
night and day, in order TO get her out Of
reach Of the court before which they will
shortly appear. They have dragged her
up and compelled her to sign all manner
Of documents which criminate herself.
They have used every device to steal her
child. They have so poisoned the mind
Of her daughter that she curses the poor
old wreck Of u mother whenever they
meet, And now she Is the most helpless

that exists In this city. But there Is q

The stomach is affected with loss of

times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold

prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-

summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem

vast drain upon the Treasury for keeping
