SWALLOWS.
MARY j. MURcHm

The swallows fly high, the swallows fly
low,
And summer winds come, and summer
They are building nests meath the cottage
caves;
They dream not of Autumn or fading
leaves.
The soft showers are falling, the wet winds
blow;
low.
But summer is passing, and golden shaaves
Are whispering of winter and witaered
leaves;
Tho woodlands are ringing the whole day
long;
song,
They sing Of land where they long to be,
OF endless summers far over the sea.
o sunshine o swallowsl Sweet summer
timel
We sing to my heart Of youths soldsn
prime
And distance and death, and long years be-
tween,
Recede with their joys and their SORROWS
keen;
And tender eyes lingeringly rest on me-
see.
For spring brings the swallows to last
years nest
And world-weary hearts wander home u
rest
No home like the old OF sunshine and dew
No faces so dear, no heart so truel
Whenever, wherever my feet may roam,
My heart turns with loveto my childhoOd'i
home

NOT CRUELTY AYR LAW.
The Supreme Court Sets Aside a Lo
Angeles County Divorce.

The Supreme Court Sets Aside Los
Angeles County Divorce.
Mary II. Waldron, wife of David Y. Wal
drOn of Los Angeles County, will not be
pleased with the decision rendered yester-
day by the Supreme Court, which, with
cold eye to the legal aspect only of her
claim for divorce in q suit in the Los Angeles
County Superior Court, set aside the decree
of the lower court which granted her a
divorce, with S10U per month alimony as
long as she remained unmarried, besides
$1,000 attorneys fees.
Mrs. Waldron sued for a divorce on the
ground of extreme cruelty, the extreme
cruelty consisting Of the vile and abusive
names which WaldrOn was in the habit of
calling her when he became little 'how
came We So" and reeled home in the still
small hours OF the morning. The Superior
Court, however, found that he was not alone
to blame IN their little domestic disturb
ances, that Mrs. Waldron had a temper of
her own. and habit of speaking her MIND
pretty freely on all occasions when her
llege lord was not as he should be. The
court also found that the vile names afore-
said did not have any tendency to injure her
health.
The Supreme Court on appeal ruled that
the findings OF the lower court did not es-
tablish a case of extreme cruelty" within
the meaning OF the statute. Extreme
cruelty, as laid down by the best authorities,
must. to constitute grounds for divorce, be
in the first place without Just cause or pro-
vocation, and, in the second, endanger the
mental or bodily health of the person COM
planning. Both the findings Of the court
and tue testimony in the case showed that
the abusive language to some degree, at
least, was provoked, and there Is not the
slightest evidence that the abuse in any way
endangered her health.
Justice Patterson 10 dissenting opinion
declares that the reasoning of the other
justices is on the basis that woman is a
mere animal and fails to take into account
her mental and emotional qualities, and in
conclusion declares:
1t must be remembered that one reason why
more divorces are granted now than formerly Is
because formerly wives had no remedy for many
outrageous wrongs.

ON THE BEACH.

~ AVE for flock OF seagulls wild,
~ Alone on the beach to-day,
NJ wandered and watched sunOeams make
Ger the waters golden way.
A merm aid beckoned with sea-kissed hand
And the seagulls few away
But a great wave brought and laid at my feet
A few little feathers OF gray.
Upon the beach in childhood played,
With my brother close at my side;
But he sailed away in white-winged ship,
Across the waters so wide.
For far away in the sunset sky,
Fortune waved her jeweled hand,
And my playmate-my brother-all that loved
Sailed away to foreign land
A letter, like fair white dove,
Game across the deep, blue sea,
In it were words of hope and love,
And lock of brown hair for me.

DANGEROUS TREATING.
A Watermelon That Did Considerable,



A prominent lawyer in this city had a
client the other day who related a story
which shows that the watermelon may
accomplish great damage when used as a
weapon urder certain circumstances.
The lawyers client is conductor Cd a
Central Railroad freight train. A few days
ago, as the train was going up the road at
speed Of twenty miles an hour, the con-
duetor was standing in the top of his
q eaboose looking ahead out Of the window,
with his head resting on his arm. The train
rushed by small station where a lot of
watermelons were being loaded into some
cars.
As the freight train passed one of The
hands engaged in loading, in a spirit of fun.
pitched one Of the melons at the conductors
head in the window in the caboose, His
aim was well taken, and the consequences
were disastrous. The melon struck the
conductor squarely on the face and arm,
knocking out three teeth, cut his face open,
and almost broke his arm. The joker's
melon almost finished the conductor. The
speed at which the train was running was
responsible for the unusual force OF the
blow.
The conductor is now preparing to sue
the party who threw the melon. The man
who threw it says he only wanted to treat
the conductor to melon.-Savannah
