you think man could be under the
influence OF a church and at the same
time be persuading some woman TO de-
sert her children-leave them orphans,
worse than orphans, objects of pity and
ridicule? Do you suppose a woman
cares for the censure of church who
so coldly Is vrecking some mans life,
getting him to turn his children adrift
TO be cared for by legal guardians and
other sharks who have no interest in
them. only what they can get out OF tho
poor things?
But these persons are very sensitive
about their social standing and New

this country. If home wreckers are re-
ceived into society and into all the
homes OF the land. IL the home wreck
ers get society's sanction here they do
not care about the church's censure

Just before Judge Rogers heard the
last case. previous to the noon recess.
Attorney Richard Martin rose and ask
ed the court IL any cases would be
heard by the court In chambers dur
ing the present week. Judge Rogers
promptly replied in the negative, and
added none had been so heard since
he had sat on the bench. though one
newspaper last fall falsely intimated
that divorce cases had been heard in
private.
Mr. Martin said he would sit i'm court
all week until certain case that had
been duly entered, came up on deposit
lions. The court asked Mr. Martin
why, II he was interested in the case.
ne did not enter an appearance.
Mr.. Martin, in reply. said the matter
was too delicate a one for him to dis
close at present. but the eexigencies OF the
case were SUCH mat he would have TO
watch the cases as they came up
Judge Rogers remarked that IL Mr.
Martin did not appear as counsel he
would, or course, be looked on as a
stranger. Mr.. Martin expressed HIM
self as satisfied as long as the court
had assured him there would be no pri-
vate hearings.

The Trade winds Song.

Oh, l am the wind that the seamen love
am steady, and strong, and true
They follow my track by the clouds above
Ger the tathomless tropic blue.
For close by the shores of the sunny Azores
The ships await to convoy;
When into their sails my constant breath
pours
They hail me with turbulent joy.
Oh, l bring them a rest from the tiresome
Of trimming the sail to the blast;
For | love to keep gear AL snug n coil
And the sheets and braces all fast.
From the deck to the truck l pour all my
force,
In spank, and jb l am strong;
For | make every course to pull like horse
And worry the good ship along.
AS fly DER the blue sing to the crew,
Who answer me back with hail;
l whistle a note as slip by the throat
OF the buoyant and btliying sail.
l laugh W hen the waves leap over the head
And the jlbs through the spray bow shine
For an acre of foam is broken and spread
W hen she shoulders and tosses the brine
Thro' daylight and dark l follow the bark
| keep like hound on her trail
IN strongest at noon, yet under the moon
| stltftn the bunt of her SAIL
The wide ocean thro for DAYS pursue,
Till slowly my forces all wane;
Then in whispers of calm | bid them adieu
And vanish in thunder and rain
Oh, am the W ind that the seamen love
| am steady, and strong, and tue;
They follow my track by the clouds above
Ger the fathomless tropic blue.
