It is strange that with all Of our mag
nficent charities we occasionally hear
Of cases of dostitution which would
shock a community of savages, This
week there haze been two cases Of
abandonment where parents ran away
from their children and left them to
perish, showing less affection for them
than a bear shows for her cubs, or the .
swine for its litter. One case was that .
of man whose wife died a few weeiys .
ago; he left his three children, the .
youngest only two months old, in a
wretched room, starving; they were dis T.
covered by some neighbors, and cared
for by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children.
Hot weather is not the time to think
of fighting, and yet people appear to
grow pugnacious as the thermometer

divided among the poor, l think New
York would be about as good a place to
begin as any on the continent; we have
lots of money, diamonds, and precious
goods of every kind, so by all means be-
gin here; and if the day ever does come
when these bowling braggarts shall at
tempt to carry out their threats, mark
my words, New York city will give .
good account Of herself and Communism
will be taught lesson that will not be
forgotten for generations to come,

McCaul got the "Black Uuzzar," at
