ffectionately dedicated TO Mrs. John

| or all the scenes of childhood'S days,
That | remember well,
One comes with SeraDhic pleasure
That words eau barely tell
In it | see my mothers face,
Illumed by matron's bliss,
AS then she stood beside my bed
And gave her good might kiss
Years pass and seas divide us,
In other lands roam,
Yet in fancy | can picture
That quaint old childhOod's home.
see again that dear old face.
That never came amiSS,
l feel her hands upon my brow
And get that goodnight kiss.
When Life'S long day comes to its close
Passing to endless night,
Ere go, by that deathly sleep,
To realms that souls delight;
want to see my mothers face,
To feel my childhoOd'S bliss,
And as child. to fall asleep,
With mothers good might kiss.

Antonio are we'll pOliced and are
pretty strict In enforcing their rules

marches him off to the bat cave.

not to blame for all the rOdyism or

The local option met with less opo
sition than the judiciary, because it
disturbed the office holders in less
degree. If the effect of putting local
option in the constitution, limits the
submission of the prohibition ques-
ton to localities, it is a step in the
right direction and takes the agita-
ton out of state politics. The prohi-
bitioD party will figure very small

The Express sounds the tocsin of
alarm because the city council has
passed an ordinance torbidding the
street railroad companies from over"
working their employees, denouncing
it as paternalism. We have an ordi-
nance against cruelty to animals;
man is an animal; what right hss
street ear company to Overwork
man any more than a mule?
Mayor Csllaghan has telegraphed
that he will be home in few days.
The interviewer of the Express
should supply himself with a couple
of good fabers, because he will have a
long story to tell; it will embrace a
tour through the United States, a trip
across the ocean; tour through
France, with all the interesting de.
tails; enough for book.
The city attorney has returned and
told his story, the mayor and Alder
man Common are still to hear from.
When the swallows are all home
again, we may expect a revival in
city business, and a proposition to
borrow more money. 1t has been
hot, dull summer tor the people-a
returning city official is refreshing.
The people have formed some
strong convictions in regard to the
extravaganza, recklessness and lack
of consideration for the public inter-
ests shown by the present city gov
eminent. A public Office is a public
trust and not a private snap. A
mayor or city attorney can't run all

OF the peoples pockets to pay for his
