UNDER THE ROOF TREE.

''Hello, Jiml Where have you been
lately?' shouted a broker the other even
ing to portly, finely dressed man in
the corridor of the st. James. The gen.
tleman stopped, shook hands with his
friend, and replied: Eve been home to
see my old father and mother, the first
time in sixteen years, and tell you, old
man, wouldn't have missed that visit
for all my fortune"
"Kinder good to visit your boyhood
home. eh9"
''You bet. Sit down. l was just
thinking about the old folks, and felt

kind, he outgrew his puppy rambling,
and made mp his mind whore his
home was and who were his best
friends. But, before this desirable
point was reached, bis trips, long
and short, counted nearly a dozen.
Several times he was brought home
by a policeman, and with one Of
these he formed friendship that has
never been forgotten. In our "rural
city," nine villages are banded to-
gether as "The Newtons," with one
government and city hall. The Of
ficer of the village adjoining ours
found him within his domain, and
with him a rather suspicious-loolSing
young man.
"What are you doing with that
dog?" asked the guardian Of the law.
The man replied that he had found
him.
81 will take care of him." said the
blue-coated gentleman, decidedly, as
he looked at the dogs collar.
Rover went with him willingly. and
was well entertained at his house.
He had a good supper, lodging, and
a frolic with the children. The po-
liceman kindly sent us word, and
would have brought him home la the
cars i'm the afternoon, but that his
owner went for him, and met him
near the station. Rover was glad to
see her, and, as usual, perfectly un-
concerned.
But from this time, when the RAM
bling mood came over him, he pre-
ferred the policeman's house TO any
other. So much was gained. We
were not anxious about him. II came
to be taken for granted that, If Row
er were absent, he was at "Bob's," "
as the youngsters of the village ir-
reverently called the stout, good-na-
tured officer. 1t was about a mile
away by road, or half that distance
"over across;" and some one Of the
family would go and ask his dogship
to come home, which he always did
very readily, and as readily took
himself off again. Once, after es-
corting the lady home,as he no doubt
put it, he turned just at the gate and
scampered back.
But, as he grew older, he develop
ed discretion. And now no dog bet
ter loves his home, though he has SO
well proved his right to his name.

The Country Editors Wife.

You have heard of the country EDITORS life,
With its care and worry and doubt,
OF the shabby genteel of his seedy clothes,
Of his diamond pins and his calm repose.
His happiness, money and gout.
But say, have you heard of the editors wife?
OF that silent copartner, who,
With blending of sentiment beauty and skill,
With temperate knowledge, with tact and will,
The whole of his labor can do?
1t is she who embroiders the garments worn
BY the editors hard old chair,
Now dressed with cushions soft and neat,
And trimmed up with tides and ribbons sweet,
Which once was SO poor and so bare.
If the editors sick, away, or behind,
In need of more hands more haste,
She directs his wrappers so they can be read.
And writes his leaders right out of her head
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers and books,
As the cradle she softly rocks;
While the editor sits in his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust in his tangled hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she reads the ads. with the editor,
Just to find what each has paid.
"But the column al. OF the JeWelef Inere,
So he says, "and the harness and human hair,
Must be taken out in trade!"
She wears the eorsots he gets for ads,
And rattles his sewing machine;
She uses the butter and eggs and things
The subscriber so faithfully brings,
With a cheerfulness seldom seen.
But her life so full of merry delight,
Has one dark cloud, alas?
Though she shares his ticket to circus and play,
To lectures and negro mnstrels gay,
She can't use his railroad pass!
When time hangs heavy on his hands,
She beguiles the hours away
With joke and laughter, music and song,
And pleasant talk, and thus rpples along
The whole of each leisure day.
Oh, who would exchange this sweet content.
This simple and trusting life,
For that of queen of royal birth?
For the happiest woman on all the earth
Is the country EDITORS wife -Ecchdnge.

NOBODY Knows but Mother,

Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the steps. it takes,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's panied by naughty blows,
Nobody-only mother,
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender pray'r,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taught
OF loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
The storm of life in after years.
Nobody knows but-mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father,
For that sweet gift-a mothers love;
Nobody can-but mother.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-12

A CORRESPONDENT in yesterdays HER
AID raises number of suggestive points
touching the necessity Of the adoption of
new Charter for this city. After care
full study of the whole question, he con-
cludes that the demand for a new Charter
is more imaginary than real. The CFtar-
ter under which We have existed since
1878 is elastic enough to suit the present
wants of the city, and to meet those
particular parts which are deemed the
most pressing for alteration, general laws
have been enacted which come to our
relief. For instance, the Vrooman act,
which the Supreme Court has held applies
to all cities, gives us complete scheme
for the improvement of streets and cross
ipgs. We are operating under that act
now, and we have heard of no serious
objections to it. II any should arise it
would then be time to seek the
remedy. AS far as legislative action has
been able to do it, the 100000 limit Of
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-12

our present Charter has been superseded
by the act passed at the last session of
the Legislature, authorizing cities of over
10, 900 inhabitants to incur debts for pub
lie improvements by submitting each
special appropriation to vote of the
people. Therefore the principal
objections to the Charter under
which we exist have already
been overcome by general laws.
The Vrooman Act has been tried in San
Francisco and seems to work we'll. Our
experience with it here has not been so
extended as in that city, but it meets our
wants to all appearances. Any article
in new Charter would be subject to
protest in some OF its provisions, and the
Supreme Court would ultim ately
be called upon to define them. We
have previously urged the partisan
division of our city into wards that will
give the Republicans for all time an un-
fair advantage, as sufficient to secure its
rejection but there are other reasons
why it should not be adopted, not the
least of which is the fact that it would
give us new and questionable scheme
for street improvement, which is now
covered by general law that has already
passed satisfactory trial.
