FOUR CHILDREN DRUNK.
All These Boys Were Under Thirteen
Years of Age.

Patrolmen Wallace and Holz, the bicycle
reserve men, were sent yesterday afternoon
to the alley in the rear of New York street
and west OF New Jersey, where they found
four boys, under thirteen years old, all of
whom were SO drunk that they were unable
to walk. The call came from people who
thought the boys had been poisoned, and
that was the impression al the police sta
ton when the boys were carried in. The
boys were Harry Smith, who lives on Court
street just east of Alabama; John Ryman,
living at 1861 East Washington street;
Jesse Finley, of 164 North East street, and
Louis Payne, who lives in the Church block.
The Payne boy was taken to the hospital
and >the others to their homes. They were
all very sick boys during the night. They
say that man gave them a bottle of
liquor which they drank.

Summer sun.

Great is the sun. and wide he goes
Through empty heaven without repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.
Though closer still the blinds we pull
To keep the shady parlor cool,
Yet he will find q chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through
The dusty attic, spider-clad,
He through the keyhole, maketh glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles,
Into the laddered hayloft smiles.
Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and gittering look
Among the ivy's Utmost nook.
Above the hills along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true
To please the child, TO paint the rose,
The gardener of the world he goes.
