Romance of tn, Life of the Auth,
of s'JOhn Halifax"

The Romance of tn, Life of the Author
of ''John Halifax"
l was walking along Regent street
this morning when there was pointed
out to me a young woman. There was
nothing about her manner, dress or
appearance to attract ones attention,
and yet her life holds one of the pref
test little stories on record.
Many years ago there were united in
marriage q far-famed authoress and
the man she loved. The man was a
cripple. but the couple lived an idyllic
lie not far from London town. One
day the literary heard, quite
incidentally. that a baby had been
found on a stone at the cross roads;
that it had been taken to the town
hall. and that all the gentry about
We're going to look at it because it was
such a sweet little child. So, follow
ing the example of her %neighbors, she
went, too. Looking up into the sweet,
sympathetic face of the famed authoress
the little lady smiled and put out it's
wee hands. The woman could not
resist this, so she determined to take
the child for her very own. Quickly
it was wrapped up and then it became
her baby. Devoted to it, she was yet
determined, as it grew older it should
never have it's heart hurt by being told
the story Of its birth and adoption.
So, as soon as the little girl was
able to understand it, it was lovingly
whispered to her that she had been
found on the large stone which stood
in the center of the hall and which al
ways was decorated with flowers, and
that God had put her there hat her
mother might find her. AS soon as
she grew old enough, it became hcr
daily duty to cut the flowers and ar
range them to make beautiful this
great rock that had been dug up from
the cross roads and brought there. To
her it represented the place where the
hands of the angels had rested when
they laid her down. Curiously enough,
this child became very proud of the
way in which she had reached the dear
mother, who cared for her rs lovingly
and as tenderly as If she was of her
own flesh and blood. Her birthday
was the day on which she was found,
and when the tenth one came around,
and a child's party was given her, she
was heard asking n little girl ''now
old r you" The other one answered,
Il was born nine years ago." 'O"
answered the baby, 'you were born
like other children, but 1 am better
than that; I was found just where God
had placed me-" The childish pride
was as amusing as it was pathetic.
The years have gone by, the eyes OF
the good mother are closed forever to
the sights of the world; but the child
she cared for lives in the great town
of London, and remembers. The child
was the young woman I saw on Regent
street this morning. The athoress?
She was Dinah Mulock Craik, author
Of John Halifax. Gentleman."-Lon-
don Letter.

In the course of his studies DR.. Men
del found very few instances in which
the confirmed coffee drunkard was
ever cured, says the London Standard.
The symptoms constantly grow worse,
and are only to be relieved by largo
quantities of the beverage the abuse of
which has caused them. In this way
the victims go from bad to worse, for,
though well aware of the mischief
being wrought, they suffer sc severely
that they are afraid to abandon the
habit least death should end the agony
they experience.
After beginning with the agreeable
infusion of the roasted berries they are
driven, in their search for something
more powerful, to swallow the tinct-

losses its efficacy and has to be swal-
lowed in greater and greater auanti-
ties. the evil influence of the coffee

only temporary relief follows, though
not infrequently in%toxication produced
by the latter is eagerly welcomed in
order to deaden the anguish caused by
the inordinate indulgence in the
former.
The last stage of this peculiar dis
ease shows itself in the sallow face and
chilly hands and feet OF the victims,
coupled with an expression of dread
and agony whic ! settles over the coun-
tenance-a form of melancholia, alter
mated by hysteria, only to be Temporal
rily relieved by repeated application
to the coffee-pot or to a strong tincture
formed by sleeping the crushed berries
in spirits Of wine. Meantime the dis
eased state OF the body is demonstrated
by the acute inflammation, which is
apt to supervene at any moment. A

Who is Sinking.

'hS
Since u article on enforcement we
have interviewed a few OF our officers,
and give the result. Police Justice Lake
states that he has sworn all persons
arrested for drunkenness as to the place
where they obtained their liquor He
had a case recently where the party
refused to divulge and vas committed to
Jail. A few days behind the bars brought
him to time. Even the two saloon
keepers arrested by Sheriff Wilson
squealed on several places about town,
not their own, rather than board with
Wilson. Mr.. Lake states further that
he has reported the testimony of these
parties to the clerk Of court as required
by law and further, that he has notified
the district attorney that he has fled
this matter with the clerk.
When broachcd on the subject Sheriff
Wilson stated that lie had notified The
district attorney OF many open vIoi;-
tons OF the law, that the complaint
received from Hill City he had handed
to Mr.. Brown who stated that the mat
ter would be brought before the grand
Jury. lie could not understand why the
matter must rest for the grand jury, but
considered that he had complied witr
the law which, as he understood it. made
til. district or states attorney tine one to
begin action.
We also called on clerk OF court Val
lette, who showed usn huge bundle OF ani-
davlts, something over 100. Whilemnny
were vague in their testimony. vet Mr..
Vallette believed they contained ample
evidence to convict every dealer in the
city. Mr.. Fallctte stated that lie had
reported to the district attorney as re-
quired by law and had delivered to him
M batch OF some 60 and would deliyer
more before the sitting OF the grand
jury.
This appears to leave the matter in
the hands Of Mr.. Brown. We were unable
to see him before going to press but I'M
dcrstand that he will throw the whole
matter on the grand jury. As their
session is so near this is perhaps best.
We see some good names on the iury Ii #
and whether they believe in prohibition
Or not, we hope they will prove men who
believe that the laws CT the state should
be enforced. But It's hoped our district
attorney will not simply throw the
burden on the jury but urge the matter
before them as he would in any other
violation OF law.
