" And a poor place 1t was for me fate to be in;

And the smell of the place and the oaths

THE SUMMER MAN.


In summer, at the mountains blue,
Where life is fair. but men are few,
He gayly sports, he has his day;
And by the sad sea wave also
He is q much-admired beau
Until the season fades away.
He dresses in the height of style,
There's fascination in his smile,
He's DimbIe in the giddy dance;
He picnics plans with ready skill.
With love-makings he plays at will,
But is not hurt by Cupid's lance.
He wins the goodwill of mammas,
The dark suspicion of papas
He valves away with graceful tact;
He sings love songs with tenGer power,
He always wears little flower,
He knows both how to speak and act.
AT archery, in tennis court,
lie rivals all in the gay sport
But plays so that the falrest wins;
And yet, through some most subtle art,
The yanquished bellies still take his part,
And leave him with unpublished sins.
But summer Joys, alas! are brief;
He's cut down like the tender leaf
When blushing fields grow sadly brown
Mammas and splendid girls no more
Admire him as they did OF yore:
He's but dry-goods clerk in town.
And all who smiled in sweet July
In dull September pass him by:
NOW he of quite another clan:
And though he wears faultless hat,
And just as stylish cravat,
he only is summer man.

A TERRIBLE STORY.
Two Children Starving While the Mother
Lies Drunk on the Floor.


Lies Drunk on the Floor.
Mrs. Annie McDufF was before JUST
ice c. J. White charged with being an
habitual drunkard. The complainant
is Mrs. Dora Isaacks, who occupies the
front part of the same house in which
the defendant and her two children
lived. The reason she made complaint
was on account of the two children,j
who for weeks past have been neglected
and almost starved to death, while the
mother has been lying drunk in one
corner of the kitchen. /
The Oldest child is only six years DID,
while the other is two years younger.
Two weeks ago the father, who has a
position in undergrad, went to
his house and finding his wife
drunk staid only short time.
and when he left declared that
he would never return. He left a
little money with the Oldest child, and
told her to buy some food with it for
herself and sister. Since that time he
has not returned. The mother in the
meantime became worse than ever,
pawning what furniture she could get
together in order to get more money
for whisky.
On several occasions she woke up
the children after eleven o'clock at
night and ordered them to go to the
saloon in Blue Island avenue and get
whisky for her. Upon their return
without the liquor she beat and pound
ed them in most cruel manner. For
the last week she has not been sober a
day, and during all that time the chill
dren have had to look out for them
selves, and would have starved had
not neighbors given them food.
The court, after hearing the evil
dence, sent her to the bridewell, and
the children were placed in the GUS
tody of Officer Dudley, of the Humane
Society. CHICAGO Times.

THE following paragraph is going

ering out the cost of supporting theiI
$500 liquor saloons. The city license
ia $500 each, or S1,750,000; Govern.
ment tax, S25 each, or S87, 800; rent,
at $500 each, 81, 100, 900; support OF
five persons, each at $500, $1,000, 600;
first cost of liquor, 81, 637, 500-mak.
ing an annual total of S23, 275, 600.
Who pays the bill?'' 1t is quite prob.
able that two or three of these items
are too large-those for rent and main.
tenance, for instance-but the real
amount, whatever it may be, is i'm.
mense, and probably four or five times
the amount paid in taxes of all sorts.
That is, the cost of liquor-drinking in
Chicago would more than support the
schools, the police, the courts, the fire
department, and pay for all the public
works undertaken each year If that
amount could be placed as a fund in
savings bank each year, what panacea
would be found against the ills of poy.

great injustice, hence their action in

A few of our citizens became I'M
necessarily exercised over the harmless
proposition of q citizens meeting to
talk up city hall matters. The very
fact that the council called q meeting
to consider the matter, is evidence
enough that nothing was intended a.
gainst the wishes of the majority Of the
tax payers. The proposition to pur-
chase OF build 8 city hall is no.new one.
1t has been agitated for years, and the
council has been approached time and
again with requests to submit the ques-
ton to the voters Of the city. AS the
city clerks office was about to be moved
to other quarters, and the question OF
building an addition to the engine
house to be used as a cooler and
marshaIs Office had been seriously dis
cussed in the council, it was thought
an appropriate time to submit the
whole matter to a meeting of the voters.
Although some Of the members Of the
council had decided views on the ques.
ton, not one, as far as we know, at
tempted to impress them upon single
voter, and the mud throwing that has
been INDUCED in by a certain individu-
al was therefore entirely uncalled for.
The meeting last Friday evening hav.
ing dedcided that there were no needs
for .'cooler'' OF city building Of any
kind, the matter is settled, at least fol
the present, and the members Of the
council are satisfied. All they desired
was to ascertain the wishes Of the PEG
pie.
