BECAUSE Watkins and Dyer got off SC
easily in the Police Court, is no reeson why
other opium smokers should chuckle and
think that they can not be convicted of the
crime. The police will keep more vigilant
eye upon them than ever, and if any Of them
are caught in the act salt won't save them.
The utmost penalty should be meted out to
them, and there is no doubt that Judge Cary
will give them all the law allows. This vice
is the most demoralizing known up to the
present age, and it ,nust, by all means, be
rooted out, cost what it will.
CHRONIC JURORs.-Messrs. J. L. Bright

as a profession Constable Stern had better

.sonEBoDY,s MOTHER
AUTHOR UNKNOWN.

The woman was old, and ragged. and gray,
And bent with the chill of winters day;
The streets were white with recent snow,
And the woman's feet with age were slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited long,
Jostled aside by the careless throng
OF human beings who passed her by
Unheeding the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of "school let OUT
Come happy boys, like a flock of sheep,
Hurting the snow piled white and deep,
Past the woman, SO old and gray,
fastened the children on their way.
None offered helping hand to her,
So weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should trample her down in the slippery
street
At last, came out of the merry troop
The gayest boy of all the group;
He paused beside her, ana whispered low,
"FlI help you across if you wish to go"'
She placed and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong;
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
s.She's Somebody's Mother boys you know.
For all she's aged, and poor. and slow;
And some one sometime may lend a hand
To help my mother-you understands
If ever she's poor, and old, and gray,
And her own dear boy Is far away"
somebody's Mother bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she
said
Was: sGod be kind to that noble boy,
Who is Somebody's Son. and pride and joy"
Faint was the voice, and worn and weak,
But Heaven lists when its chosen speak;
Angels caught the faltering word,
And somebody s Mothers prayer was heard.
