A MOTHERS LOVE.
With a Breaking Heart She Reads Her
Daughters Funeral Service.

Win q breaking Heart She Reads Her
Daughters Funeral Service.
There was simple funeral at Oak
woods cemetery on a recent Sunday,
says the Chicago Tribune. No priest
or minister was there to read the bur-
iaI service - only a heart-broken
mother who saw her only daughter GO
to her grave, while a man who had
been stranger to both and the under
taker watched the silent grief as the
coffin was hidden under the clay.
Unfortunate Mamie Jennings, whose
body was taken from the lake off Hyde
Park Thanksgiving day, would have
gone to a pauper's grave but for the
kindness of J. P. Luby, an operator on
the board of trade, who read the story
of the suicide and himself arranged for
q respectable, Christian burial. The
and, but for the aid of Mr.. Luby, who
had known neither, the girl would have
been buried by the county.
Mrs. Jennings claimed to have asked
Kendall Street Christian church, where
the girl attended services, to send a
minister to conduct the funeral There
was no minister present, however, and
the mother, rather than see her daugh-
ter buried without religious observ-
ance, stood beside the coffin of her
daughter and read o portion Of the
eleventh chapter of the Gospel of st.
John: .fFor / am the resurrection and
the life" She read and there came a
solemn amen from the two who looked
on in reverent silence.
Snow had covered the mounds OF
earth about the new made grave and
headstones were half hidden by the
mantle Of white Near by, long line
of carriages wound in and out among
the leafess trees, following the hearse
containing the remains of daughter
whose life had been passed in the
midst of riches and of luxury. Above
her grave were heaped beautiful
wreaths of flowers until the dark clay
was hidden and sorrowing friends
stood by and sought to soften the grief
of mother and father.
At the other grave the mother gave
one look across the snow and then
placed little bunch of faded forget
me-nots on the grave of her child and
turned to where the one carriage stood
There were no tears in her eyes, and
as she gave a last look at the mound
and the poor offering of flowers she
said: Thy will be done. y

These so-called McEnery delegates, whom
they ask you to vote for, are either lottery
men, or professed and pretended anti-lot-
terry men, who will vote to keep the lottery
question out of the Democratic conven-

extent of nearly $500 year for each and

BETTING IN ENGLAND.
A Habit That Has an A1l-Absorbing inf
ence Over the Mind.

A Habit That Has an A1l-Absorbing Infiu-
ence Over the Mind.
There is still a good deal of CONVEX
sation in many countries upon the sub
ject of gambling, particularly in Great
Britain, where betting is a serious dan
ger to the happiness and stability OF
families. In that country, says the
Youths Companion, there is not only
an incredible amount of betting upon
races, but in many households it is a
custom to play cards for money. The
stakes indeed are small, but it is now
contended that even such trifling
stakes impart to a game Of whist kind
of interest and excitement that is not
harmless.
An anecdote in point was related the
other day by the Times Lord Fal-
mouth, a noted breeder of race-horses,
made bet of sixpence with his trainer
that certain horse would win cer-
tain race. He was opposed to betting
on principle, but did not consider that
sixpence amounted to a. bet. But, hav-
ing lost his wager, he did not like to
hand over to the winner q sum that
seemed ridiculous. So he had the six
pence set as the base Of a breastpin,
which consisted of a large carbuncle
cut into the form of d jockey cap, the
button of which was a diamond. This
setting raised the humble asixpence to
the Importance of u large bet. Again
he lost sixpence to the same trainer.
This time he caused the coin to be set
inside the lid of a silver snuff f-box, with
the monogram of the trainer handsome
ly carved on the outside. Thus can a
man Of principle cheat himself into a
gross departure from it. In the same
spirit ladies who sit in the grand stand
persuade themselves that pairs Of kid
gloves do not amount to q bet.
TO many Americans who do not feel
the need of heightening the interest OF
innocent games in this way, and do not
want to get other peoples money for
nothing, the mania for this kind OF
gambling seems strange and unaccount-
able Accepting money under such
conditions may be less disgraceful
than picking a pocket, but not much
