A POEM ON BABIES.
The Little Ones of the World Soften
the Shell of an Editor.

The Little Ones of the World Soften
the Shell of an Editor.
Babies The world is full OF babies
There are 5000 in Atlanta if there is one.
They are little, but they are mighty import
ant. Did you ever notice how they dlsap-
pear in rainy weather? The babies come
and go with the sunshine. Let a ballny
dav happen along and the green lawns are
dotted over with babies. Their chubby legs
trudge the streets, or they ride, and thell
wise, thoughtful faces look out from under
very red hoods and seem to rebuke the
world for being so bad. Did you ever see
woman pass baby without giving 1t a sec
ond glance? Did you ever see an mex
perienced man try to make peace With an
inoffensive and unoffending baby? Dlo
YOU ever see a baby that didn't know gen.
tIeman when he saw one? Did you eyel
hear anv eloouence like a baby's wonderful
words D.? And how clear and silvery is the
voice of a little girl Her laughter is like
a ripping shower of music from the skies.
There is no doubt about it, the babies are
the salt of the earth. A man is not 1ul
grown until he owns one. A being who
can lean over the side of his sleeping baby
and not be as brave as lion is not good tol
much this side of the cemetery, nor tne
other side either for that matter.
Did you ever notice the little peaked
faced babies that look out of the dark, daml
rooms that fall to the lot of the poor? They
breathe the very dust that the rafting drays
throw against their low windows. There l:
a little child on a back street i'll the business
part of Atlanta who may be taken as a spec
linen of that class of babies who are with
out sunshine. There is no yard to the
house, no corner where even frog houses
can be made. No mud pies ever bake or
fireless ranges and no red-painteo
TOYS ever tell the passer-by that 6
little child lives there. But small. pale
face. ever so meek, presses against the dusty
pane, and sad little eyes look out ON the
ever-moving stream of drays and people. Il
is a companionless child. 1t romps will
no children, it rides no fiery untamed trl-
cycle. A well-fed dog dashing by is di'
version. and a hook -and-ladder truck ell
route to fire amounts to a circus.
A rosy-faced baby, with happy home,
sleeps in the folds of its cradle! Hardly
day and the little cheeks are as white as the
pillow upon which it rests. Did you evel
notice how light baby looks when it l:
dead. There is hardly enough OF the little
form to turn zephyr. A weeping mother
said one day:
s.It is so hard to leave my baby away of
in the cemetery. 1t is so hard to shut the
door and know my baby is on the outside

Bend low, o dusky night.
And give my spirit rest,
Hold me to your deep breast
And put old cares to fight.
Give back the lost delight
That once my soul possest
When love was loveliest-
Bend low, o dusky night!
Enfold me in your arms
The sole embrace I crave,
Until the embracing grave
Shield me from hfe's alarms.
dare your subtlest charms,
Your deepest spell 1 brave,
o strong to slay or savel
Enfold me in your arms!

the rounds yesterday.

present of fine piece of venison ham, Ii

for the cigars. While engaged in this pas
tiu.e some cf the boys stole the venison and
fixed Up package containing a brick. an
old pair Of oyershoes and some liInberger
cheese, and laid il where the venison was
left. When through with his amusement:
George took up his parcel and started home,

ture on yenison and instructions TO prepare
this in fine style tor dinner. He then re-

make the venison nice and tender TO hang
it out over night and let it freeze. Opening
the package she discovered the content.
sind supposins her spouse had played trick
on her she went for him, but Of course be

THE BIRDoF PREY SCREAMS AGAIN
FOR SPOILS."


Under the above caption the Beacon de.
votes halt column to wild attack on an
article touching the filthy condition of the
city and administering lash or two TO GER
tain Of the city council, which appeared in
yesterday mornings EAGLE.
The Beacon man imagines the article in
question to have been written by the editor,
in this he is little of. The man who
wrote it knew what he was talking abou;
and can back up all he said and good deal
more. The Beacon appears to regret that
the names were hot mentioned. Well tina.
could be done very easily if it could serve
any good purpose. The writer had had his
attention frequently called to the conditions
and things treated in that article, and can
prove by at least dozen good men in the
city that during the past summer men who
wanted location, and who were fsvorably
impressed with this valley aud the business
prospects of Wichita, decided not 10 locate
here owing to the filthy condition of the city.
One of our prominent manufacturers
told the writer Yesterday thtt If h. had not.
engaged with his partner :" = me- here and
open their establishment, her, before III, VS.
tied the city, h. would nj :, >,.:;.ei here
ct all. The reputation "i the cty Tar filth
is too well known.

tcnton 10 these fact. hot FER p,'lj:i'ul con
sidcrati"ns. bat that som":h...s u,;ghi be
done Ia remedy this rvii. IT,. writer could
tell the Beacon and the high Officials limited
at,somethirg learned from tina: cN-p"liceman
they would not care t" have coupled with
their names.
Perhaps it would suit them just as well to
have no names mentioned. If the Beacon
would like list of citizens who will endorse
the statements IN this article. they can be-
furnished.
