gr,n,,s Gentis AIo,her.

Hannah Simpson, the gentle wife, has
no dlscoverable enemies. She was almost
universally beloved as n Christian woman
and faithful wife and mother. 1t took
longer to know her, for she was the most
retlcent of persons. ulysses got his retl-
cence, his patience, his equable temper
from his mother" Is the verdict Of those
who knew both father and mother. 9th
ers go further and say: "Iie got his sense
from his mother"
Hannah Simpson, seems to
have gathered up and carried forward to
her son Ulysses the best qualiti of her
people. That she was remarkable
woman, all her nelghbors bear testimony.
She never complained of any hardship
or toll or Disappointment. She seldom
laughed, and her son Ulysses once said:
81 never saw her shed n tear In my life"
She was as proud OF her family history as
her husband was of his, but she said
nothing about 1t. She never argued, never
boasted and never gossiped Of her neigh
bors. Her husband bore testimony to her
high character In words well chosen:
Her steadlness, strength Of character
have been the stay of the family through
life" Her old nelghbors call her "a no
bic woman."-McClure's Magazine.

he had been putting down the num-

car likewise did not stop. In each case
he entered the number Of the SHINING

stop" he clutcned the hand rail on
the rear platform of a fourth car and
pulled back as II stopping team Of

The car went on.
So did the gentleman with the jag. a

the car came to n standstill the pen

A Deserted Babe.
(New York Journal.)

Annie Goldberg, twenty-five years
old, of No. 73 Willett street, seam
stress, was arraigned in Yorkville court
yesterday morning on charge of hav-
ing abandoned her infant in Stuyyesant
park several days ago. Park Police
man Cray, who arraigned her. told
Magistrate Cornell that last Tuesday
he saw the prisoner carrying a child
that she afterward told him was twelve
days old, around the park in her arms,
She went in the ladies cottage, and a
fey minutes after she left the child
was discovered in the cottage, having
bean abandoned by the mother. He
started to search for her, but she had
disappeared. On Friday afternoon she
returned to the park, and he immedi-
ately recognized her. He approached
her and asked her II she had not aban-
doned her baby, and she admitted her
guilt. In court yesterday Magistrate
Cornell asked her why she had aban-
doned her child. She shrugged her
shoulders and replied in German:
Il had no money and no friends. |
was sick, and what else could do?"
The woman was asked to give the
name of the child's father, but In the
most unconcerned way she said that
had nothing to do with the matter.
Her manner was phlegmatic in the ex-
trcsse. oiitl not the slightest trace of
motherly feeling was exhibited by her
during or after the examination. She
did not seem TO care what became of
her. Magistrate Cornell held the wom-
an in $1,000 bail for trial. The child
is in the Maternity hospital at Belle

shocking Deprnvity on the Iurt OF blrds
Witnessed by Mr.. Lang.
A queer story is told by Mr.. Andrew
Lang. according to the New York
Journal. The incident came under his
own notice and occurred under the
bridge over the Lochy, below the Ben
Nevis Long John distillery. From this
tale 1t is obvious that animals are only
sober from lack Of wit to obtain al
cohol:
THAT establishment disgorges into a
burn quantity of refuse, no doubt al
coholic. When we crossed the bridge
In the morning to fish, the ducks from
the farm opposite were behaving In n
drunk and disorderly manner-fying,
beating the water, diving, spluttering
and greedily devouring the stun from
the distillery. Their antics were funny
but vulgar BY o'clock we found tho
ducks sleeping off the effects OF their
debauch We wakened them and they
staggered eagerly to a bucket Of water,
from which they quenched the tor
ments of thirst. A small seabird be-
way. He slowly drlfted down the Lochy
from the fatal intoxicated burn, nor
could pebbles judciously thrown at
him Induce him to take to the wing
He tried to dive, making efforts comic
and unsuccessful. After drifting
through the bridge regret to say that
he returned to the burn and took u
cup of kindness yet" getting all the
more intoxicated and drifting back in
yet more deplorable condition. What
n lesson, we said is this to mankind,
which after all, need not speak of
boasted reasonableness! The wild and
tame things of stream and ocean are as
unwlse as we."
