Somebody's Mother.

The woman was old and ragged aud gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters day.
The street was wet with the recent snow.
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at tho crossing and waited long.
Alone. uncared for, amid the throng
or human beings who passed her by,
Nor. needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom Of "school let out
Came the boys like flock Of sheep.
HaiIipg the snow piled white aud deep
Past the woman so old and gray
fastened the children ou their way.
Nor offered a helping hanl 10 her,
So meek, so lmid, afrail 10 sir.
Lest the carriag, wbsels of the h,sse,' feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one Of the merry ,ro ,p-

Proud tha; his own were firm aud strong.
Then back again TO his friends he went,

'She's somebody's mother, boys. you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother" bowed Low her
head
In her home that night, and the prayer she
said
Was, "God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and 10y. 3"

and more than one person among those who
arc acquainted with the facts has spent
many hours walking slowly along with his
eyes on the ground, hoping to he rewarded
for his trouble by finding one or more Of
the Spatklers.
About six years ago sd. Howard robbed
passenger train on the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad while it was running through a
tunnel 10 Preston county. Among other
valuahles taken were number of costly
diamonds. The victim discovered his loss
before the train reached station, and
Howard was arrested, charged with the
crime. Although part of the stolen goods
were found on his person, he had succeeded
in coneealing the diamonds so very skillfully
that the most thorough search failed TO re.
veal them, nor were they ever found. In
due time he was tIied in the Circuit Court of
Preston county and sentenced to serve a
term of years in the peui,en,iary a, Mounds
Vile.
When he was received at the penitentiary
he was stripped of the clothing which he
wore aud ai,ired in the prison garb, When
he arrived he wore heavy silk chest, pro-
tceter, which he requested that he might rc-
tain, saying his lungs were weak. The
prison authorities granted his request aud
he wore il until his death, which occurred
suddenly when his term wss about half
completed. Ills clothing. including the
chest protector. were thrown in the furnace
burned, this being the disposition made of
the clothing of the dead convicts.
iioward's wife, who resided in an eastern
city, was notified of his death and wired To
hold the body until her arrival, but it was
impossible to do SO, and i, was inferred in
the prison cemetery, which adioins the pen.

There are number Of people who think

ashes, but the heat was probably SO great
