YOUNG In YEARS,
But Old i'm a Career of Vice
and Shame-A Sad
Story,

The BAzoo yesterday morning
called the attention of the officers to
the fact that girl scarcely more than
twelve years of age had rented q
room over the Wine hall, for the
purpose of engaging regularly In the
business ofprostitution. The marshal
Yesterday visited the rooms over the
Wine hall for the purpose of investi-
eating the matter. A prostitute who
occupies the front room denied posi-
lively that any young girlroomed in
the building. The officer, however,
pursued his investigations, and in a
vacalt room, the next one to the
front room, found a lot Of woman's
clothing. He then returned
to the front room and upon
informing the woman of
his discovery, she admitted that
the girl was in the building and d.
rected tie marshal to the room where
she could be found. The officer, ac-
companied by BAzoo reporter, en-
tered the room and found a young
girl reclining on the bed. She said
that she was i'll and was suffering from
pleurisy. She has a very childish
looking face and the reporter would
Judge her to be about fifteen years of
age. Upon being asked how long
she had been leading a life of this
kind, she replied, "Oh, too dong to
talk about" She has for a number
of years been an orphan, and claims
that she was seduced by q married
man with whom she was
kving, near Smithton, during
his wife's absence from 'home.
Although she has for the past two or
three years been living a life of
shame, she has not piled her avoca-
ton as prostitute publicly until very
recently. Some weeks ago she came
to the city and stopped with colored
family near the gas works. She gave
her name as May Leavitt, but admits
that it is an assumed name. She re-
fused to give her right name.
The girl, though SO young, is thor
oughly stepped in vice and degreda-
ton, and seems to be utterly imper-
vious to any influence which might be
exerted to save her from her terrible
fate. As she was violating no law,
the marshal was compelled to leave
her 90 on in the path of shame,
which she has voluntarily chosen. Her
future is that of thousands OF her
class, and is terrible to contemplate.

Nothing Surprising.

ct Joseph beraio
The devotees Of the supernatural
have put into circulation a story of
the effect that General Hancock, at
the death of his son, had a present
iment that he should not long.survive.
1t is no doubt true enough, but there
is nothing about the fact granting
that it be such, to surprise. Any man
on the sunset slope of life in the pres
ence of death. especially when it had
stricken one that he loved, might
readily imagine that in a few short
days, week or years he might be called
to follow the endle multitude that is
constantly passing away.

New York World,
A Newark doctor who has kept
watch over some dogs bitten BY the
same rabid creature that snapped the
children who were sent to Paris to be
treated by Pasteur is prepared to
swear that the cur was not mad at all.
His, bitten dogs have grown fat, and
have thus far shown no sign of rabies.
This is unfortunate for Pasteur, whose
theory was supposed to be undergoing
grand test, but We congratulate the
children, who had adelightful trip to

After Ten Years.

Philip Land, the Brownsville miller,
who is well known in Sedalis, was in Par
sons, Kansas, Wednesday, looking for his
brother, whom he had not heard from by
letter or otherwise for nearly ten years.
The brothers passed each other twice on
the street in their mutual search, and at
last when they met for the third time one
of them fancied he recognized something
familiar in the other and spoke. The
other recognized the voice In an instant
and gave him brothers welcome.

Cats as Bed.feII0Ks.

In reply to the query OF a cor
respondent as to the popular be-
lief that a cat will suck the breath
of a sleeping infant, BabyhOod
says "Dr. Tomlinson of Chicago,
dismisses the subject Scientifically
what good do you suppose it
would do a cat to draw into its
lungs breath which human being
has just exhaledY Nevertheless il
may be said, with all respect for
DIR. Tomlinson and no respect at
all for superstition, that the warmth.
loving cat has way of preferring
baby's CRIB as a sleeping-place to
any other bed or corner. If driven
away, she will return stealthy
again and again to the snug covert.
She loves, furthermore, to nestle
close to baby's body, as often as
not thrusting her whiskered nose
against the velvet cheek, pink and
warm with sleep. Thus far, she
may do no harm. But when she
occasionally curls her bulk of five,
six or eight pounds weight upon
the sleeper's heaving chest mischief
may come of it. To escape the risk
of this mischance, if for no other
reason, keep pussy away from
your slumbering baby. Indeed, he
is best Off without any bed-fellow."

A client Demands Protection.

A few days ago, in tho District
Court, a prisoner, who had been
defended by one Of our young
lawyers (whO had been appointed
by the court received the highest
penalty the law allows for horse
stealing, fifteen years.
After the verdict was announced
this lawyer was observed to speak
excitedly to his client, whoreupon
the client stood up and told the
Judge that he looked to him for
protection.
His Honor, Judge NoOnan, re-.
piled that the sheriff would see
that his rights were not interfered
with.
"But that is not what | mean,|
urged the prisoner.
"What do you mean" inquired
the judge, kindly.
"I want you to protect me.
This young man you 'pinted to de-
fend NE says he is gwine to ask
you to give me a new trial, and |
want you to protect me, judge"
And now that young lawyer tells
people that he won't defend pauper
criminals without being paid for it,
not even if Judge NoOnan sends
him to Jail for refusing.-SDtings

THE SHEPHERD AND THE LAMBS.


Unto the margin of the flowing river
The eastern shepherd leads his tmid
sheep;
He calls them on, bat they stand still and
shiyer;
To them the stream seems wide and swift
and deep.
He calls them on, but they in fear are
standing,
He calls them on, but on they dare not 90
They heed not now the voice Of his com
manding-
They only heed the rivers fearful flow.
Then from the side of one protecting
mother,
A lamb the shepherd takes into his breast
And then he gently bends and takes an
other,
And in his arms the two lambs be at rest
They lie at rest, and, as he close enfolds
them,
He bears them safely DER the river wide
The little lambs know well the arms that
hold them,
They nestle warmly and are satisfied.
Then the fond mothers with maternal long
ing
Jook on beyond that rivers fearful flow
They can but follow, aud behind them
thronging,
Their fleecy comrades are in haste to 60.
Drawn by a love estronger than any shrink
ing.
Their lambs they follow DER the flowing
tide;
They heed not now the sinking or The
swimming
They brave the stream and reach the fur-
ther side.
And while their tender shepherd kindly
feeds them,
They think no longer upon what hath
been
He gives them back their lambs, and then
he leads them
By the still waters through the pastures
green.
Whose lamb the Lord has taken from your
sight.
So shall it be with you, o weeping mother,
'Tis He hath done it, He and not another
Your lamb lies in his arms slssped close
and tight.
Across the stream your little one is taken
That you may fear no more the quick
dark flow
But that, with steadfast heart and faith
unshaken,
You may be ready after it to go.
This is the tender shepherds loving pleas
ure,
To bless at once the little lambs and you
He knows now that with him is your best
treasure,
There fixed forever will your heart be TOO.

SupeTSiItIuuS Humanity.

From the time that King Saul
went down to Endor to get an old
woman to disturb the dead prophets
rest down TO last night, when 5000
st. Paul people crowded into the
Exposition rink to witness a spirit
ualistic performance, there has been
no interruption in human desire to
deal with the supernatural and to
know something of that which lies
beyond this life. Although but few
confess, it is nevertheless true that
superstition is a principle with a
majority OF people. There isn't one
individual out Of a thousand who
car be persuaded to start on a
Journey or to begin any important
business operation on Friday. And
as for getting married on Friday,
there isn't man or woman on the
two civilized continents but would
Shudder with horror at the thought
Of such thing. And yet, if pressed
for a reason of this superstitious
adherence of Friday, the only re-

Friday is an unlucky day. There
isn't one person in ten who will
pick up a pin unless the point lies
toward them. To see the new moon

Why Eve Didn't Need a Girl.

A lady writer in one of our ex-
changes furnishes some reasons why
Eve did not keep a girl. She says !:
"There has been a great deal said
about the faults Of woman, and
why they need so much waiting on.
Some one, a man of course, has the
presumption to ask, 'Why, when
Eve was manufactured out of a
spare rib, a servant was not manu-.
featured to wait on herY She didn't
need any. a bright writer has
said "Adam never came whining
to Eve with a ragged stocking to
be darned, buttons to be sewed on,
gloves to be mended right away

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.

We often hear a father say, 81
except my son to take my place
when / am dead and gone.' A
very laudable desire, but how
foolish a one Just as no two
leaves in the forest are alike in
every particular, so no two men
can ever be alike. How foolish it
is to see a farmer planting the ten
der sprig beneath the widespread
ing oak, expecting it to take his
place, when the sunshine and the
storms Of ages have laid the
monarch Of the forest low. The
vesy fact of being beneath the
shade of the full grown tree pre-
vents the proper growth and de-
velOpment Of the sapling. And
yet we see fathers taking their
boys into their shops or their Off
ces or behind their counters, and
letting them grow up in manhood
with the desire expressed every
day that the son is to take the
place of the father. That can
never be, and the father by keep
ing the son beneath his wing, put.
ting himself forward in every
emergency, and taking the lead
and responsibility always, is doing
the very worst thing possible for
his boy, dwarfng all his powers
and teaching him that dependence
upon others which will be his
greatest trouble when the father is
laid low.
Push the boy out into the world
Take him in hand at the start and
teach him the lessons of sobriety,
self-dependence and the love of
truth and fair dealing, and thon
when the time comes make him
strike out for himself. He may
not Ill his fathers place, but he
will make a place for himself-per-
haps a better place-and grow up
to be an honorable aud useful man,
respected and beloved by bis fel-
low-men, long before his father Is
laid away. Give the boys 2 chance,
and don't let them grow up with
the idea that they are to be moth
ing in the world until the time
comes to take their fathers places.
Ten to one they will be fit for moth.
ing, and only drones in the world.
Many a useful man has been spoil
ed and half of his life wasted
waiting for the time, set for him by
his father, to cOme,-when if he
had been pushed out for himself he
would have developed into good
and true citizen at an early age.

tophthisic,
He suffered with torture intense
A cancerous hummock invaded his stom-
ach,
His rheumatic pains were immense
He was sick with miasna, and choked
with the asthma,
An abscess had eaten his lung,
And there was rumor, a gigantic tumor
Had grown at the roots Of his tongue
The keen meningitis, the choking bron-
chitis,
Both tortured him nearly insane,
And a cross-looking buniOn, as large as an
onion.
Made him howl for whole hours with
pain.
He had "healers," physicians, and loud
quack magicians,
And nostrums and pills by the ton,
And medicine mixers, with all their elixirs,
Be-doctored the fellow like fun.
They would drug him, and swill him, yet
nothing could kill him,
Their efforts combined he defied,
Till a famous soprano, with rattling
piano,
Moved into his house-then he died.
