My Mother.

Written for the Star, Pray, who can take my mothers place when she has gone away Who will sympathize with me in dire ad- yersity? When troubled, to whom will go to pour my grief upon? And who will smooth my troubled brow when my mothers gone? When tired and worn out from the cares of B big days business, Who will meet me at the door with loving fond caress? Who will keep my old worn clothes up in neat repair? Who will do all this for me when mother is not there? I'll miss her so, the dear old soul, and all the things she's done But fortune seems to have favored me and sent another one To take her place, and share my cares, and loving, good and true And fill the place just quite as well as mother used to do.

REMEMBERED HER CHILDREN.

E1oped Fifty Years Ago, But Willed
Property to Her Offspring.
During the gold excitement of '49 a
young Irishman named Thomas Hogan
settled in Calayeras county, CAL, with
his wife. He became a miner and
amassed considerabl property before
he died. His widow afterward married
John C. Scribner, of San Andreas. He
died few years ago, says the New
York World, and left his property to
his widow. The twice-widowed woman
thus came into the possession of about
$4,000. She died few months ago
and left the bulk of her property to
her "nieces and nephews" in Ireland,
naming two men and two women.
The lawyer appointed to administer
on the estate wrote to the addresses
given, and learned that two of the four
were dead, and the remaining two had
no knowledge of an aunt in California
Or any other place, An investigation
developed the fact that. the supposed
Mrs. Hogan was really Mrs. Richard
Barnes, and that she had left her hus-
band and four children TO elope with
the young Irishman. She had kept the
skeleton in her closet hidden for nearly
so years, and even in death she tried to
protect the secret by referring to her
children as her nieces and nephews.

How to Serve Potatoes.


Old potatoes boiled whole, peeled and
covered with c sauce made by cooking
together half pint of milk, table,
spoonful of butter and one of -four, are
better thus prepared than when served
in any other fashion. New potatoes are
waxy until late in the season, and
should not be given to children or to
persons of delicate digestion. The old
fashioned saying that new potatoes
should never be eaten before the Fourth
of July contains q certain amount OF
common sense, although the rule APP
plies to homegrown potatoes and not
to those that come to our markets from
the far south. There are certain veg
etables which depend little upon the
variety Of cooking to be palatable. OF
these are green peas, string beans, as
paragus and q few besides. These, if
boiled until tender and dressed simply,
with butter, salt and a little pepper, are
too good to be improved by any change.
But there are others that can be cooked
in . variety Of ways, and each will be
found acceptable.-St. Louis Republic.

KlNSMEN IN THE SENATE.
White, of California, and Mallory, OF
Florida, First Cousins.


Florida, First Cousins.
1t one man of family gets to be SEN
ator he ought to be accounted fortunate.
When two men of a family find seats
in the senate together it is remarkable
event, and deserves recording, says the
Washington Post.
Stephen Mallory White is a senator
from California and Stephen Russell
Mallory is a senator from Florida.
There is more than a mere coincidence
in the similarity of the names. The
men are cousins. Senator Mallory's
father and Senator Whites mother
were brother and sister. It is little
curious that the two senator's should
represent states as far apart as it is pos
sible for them to be--one on the Allan
tic and theother on the Pacific coast.
The grandfather of the two senators
was one of the earliest settlers of Flor
ida, while their grandmother was a
Spanish woman of fine stock, consider
able beauty and remarkable constitu-
ton, retaining to her old age all of her
faculties. Much of Senator Whites
sturdiness comes from his grand
mother. He was not born in Florida,
for his father and mother crossed the
plains in 1850, attracted to California
by the reports of newly-discovered gold.
The senator was born in San Francisco
in 1853. The Mallorys, on the other
hand, remained in Florida, and now the
whirligig of time and the strange hap
penings of politics reunite the families
in the senate.

They were two daintily dressed, chic
girls, and they were evidently out for
giddy afternoon, says the: New York
Telegram. They strolled down Broad
way into Herald square with the gay
est of smiles on their faces and the
sauciest of looks in their dancing eyes.
They stopped at a drug store i'm which
a mammoth frosty soda fountain
stands in all it's glittering temptation,
and soon became engrossed in two de-
licious, creamy, frothy mixtures.
They chatted as they drank and slow
ly ate the ice cream with the long dis.
lance spoons with which each alluring
glass is provided.
AT last the ice cream soda was
finished, and the girls went laughing
out into the street, when suddenly a
look of CONSERVATION overspread the
face of one of them, and she exclaimed
"Oh, Kitty!"
Then she rushed back into the drug
store, and, laying hold of the edge of the
counter, began to pull it.
y The other followed in amazement

drug clerks regarded the Juggling young
woman with establishment, them fear
