The bucket would soon be empty,
Without the drops IN the well.
Only poor little penny.
IL was all had to give;
But a. pennies make the dollars,
IL may help some cause TO live.
A few little bits Of ribbon
And some toys-they were not new
But they make the sick child happy,
Which has made me happy, too.
Only some outgrown garments
They were al had TO spare
But they'd help 10 clothe the needy,
And the poor are everywhere.

That cost me nothing to say;
But the poor old man died happy,
And it helped him on the way.

Though the gift be poor and SMALL

When they never give at all?

"If the hydraulic dredge which will
soon be at work on the flats proves success
it will revolutionize the art of dredging"

other day, while conversing about the
reclamation of the flats.

Not in my opinien," was the reply.
"Otberwise wouldn't have recommend

the dredge in Oakland, Cal," continued
Col Hams. at has record of dredg-
ing there sixty thousand cubic yards of
material per month, working ten hours
per day. On the flats it is the intention
to work day and night, al least twenty
hours per day, and as the dredge which
is being built is to be quite little larger
than the one at Oakland, il is estimated
that one hundred thousand cubic wards
per month at least can be removed and
deposited if no serious obstacles are en-
countered. The difference in kind of
material to be dredged may make some
difference. have examined a sample of

My son, am panied to learn that you
are becoming somewhat cynical in youI
views concerning the natural tendencies
and qualities of womsnkind in general
Remember your mother was woman.
The only thing can recollect at all de.
rogatory to her blessed memory is that
she was too coy with rod aud household
boot jack. The natural consequence is,
you are rapidly running TO seed, and fast
becoming fit subject for condemnation
by all members of your mothers sex.
Your mother was a good woman, but she
just escaped being perfect mother
when she held her hand aloof from the
bump of your self-esteem.
1t is a wonder to me that the Lord
don't permi. the spirits of departed
mothers to come back to this realm just
to shake the nonsense out their off.
springs, or paddle them with the .pr0-
verbal golden slipper.
You sneeringly remark, in the casual
manner akin to your class, that woman's
devotion is sham. You also add that
the greatest devotion of woman is laid
upon the shrine of fashion. Now. nv
young limb of the sidewalk posture, your
mother was lady of fashion. | cannot
say that she wore out your fathers
patience teasing for sealskin sacque
and forty-dollar bonnet. | have no
recollection of this; still, she may have
done so.
Once, | well remember, you got into q
street fracss and had your Grecian nose
demolished of its pristine line of beauty.
You ran to your mother; she applied
twenty-d0llar lace handkerchief To
staunch your life blood, when a ten-cent
towel would have sufficed. She didn't
stop to question the cause of tue fracas.
No; but she ruined that elegant bit of
lace in the utter abandonment of mater
nal instinct and motherly devotion. The
genuine cause Of your nasal organs dis
aster was-you tried TO walk over a poor
little street Arab, who proceeded to do
you up after the style set down in the
volumn known as The Manly Art of
Self Defence"
That, my son, is sample of woman's
devotion; q specimen OF effect without
going behind the returns to get at the
cause.
While you are burning the midnight
gas, busily engaged with the hemispher-
ical worries on a green bsize table, there's
light in sensible girls parlor not
burning for thee. One of these days you
will open your eyes to the fact that the
lusty-limbed mechanic got the dead
wood on you, also got the girl you
thought you had, sure pop. After he's
gone and married her, you'll lug around
a big lump of misanthrOpy and swear
that woman's devotion is all a myth.
Boy, you've got 70 come down from
your perch. There are too many Of the
prime articles, homo sum, floating
around this part of the globe, for women
IN yearn after such game as you are.
You must drop this vspid ignis fatuus of
your foolish brain and buckle down 10
biz, else you'll get left when the cake of
domestic bliss is passed.
A woman's heart just gushes fountains
of pure devotion. Ii you don't receive
some of the pellacid drops it's because
you are proving by your daily comings
and goings that you are only worthy Of
an existence which is environed by the
cold walls and chilly sheets of q poor old
bachelors prescription.
