Mrs. Ella ISaacs, Heartbroken
by the Loss of Her Little Ones
and Her Husbands DeSerti0n,
Drinks Carbofic Acid.
FALLS INTO ARMS OF
POLICE SERGEANT.
Hurried to Hospital, Where,
After the Hardest Kind of
Work, Doctors Say She Has a
Chance to Recover.

Mrs.. Ella ~Isaacs.. . pretty woman Of
thirty-ive years, attempted suicide this
morning by drinking carbolio acid.
Police serEt. Buessen, who a LEFT
tho Morrtsenia station at I o'clock to
take q train ut the oorner of Ono Hun
dred and sixty-frst street and Third
avenue. passed Mrs. Isaacs Just as she
drained 4 small bottle of acid. His at
tentiou was drawn to her by the noise
Of the broken bottle when the woman
threw It from her and 1t shattered on
the sidewalk. She stood in a doorway.
She was swaying and about to fall
when the sergeant reached her side,
n the faint odor Of the carbolic told
him what she had done He gently lNd
her on the sidewalk. n at once sent
in a call for an ambulance. Mrs. lsaacs
was taken to the Lebanon Hospital.
where heroic measures were adopted to
rave her life. She may recover.
Mrs. Isaacs seven months q was a
happy wife. rejoicing in the possession
OF a good home, three charming children
and an apparently devoted husband.
She lived at No. 643 East One Hundred
and SlNtieth street.
On June 8 she lost her son Richard.
aged one year. In August her daughter
Efie. two years old. died. Two weeks
later she lost her only remaining child,
John T.. a baby two months old. Last
month her husband deserted her. There
did not seem to be anything In this
world left for her. SO she made up her
mind to follow the children.
That she was brooding over the loss
Of her children is evident from the fact
that IN her pocket was found a poem
probably written by herself. 1t was
called THE Shoe n the Ross." 1t
read as follows:
A tiny shoe before mo lies:
It's all our Johnny left
When God recalled him to the skies
And our poor hearts bereft
Only q tiny shoe.
BY our darling worm
A fathers head In grief u bowed.
A faded roso clasped In his hand.
II lay upon his breast
When Johnnie 70 the Promised Land
Like q bird flew to his rest
Only q little rose.
Whose life soon has flsdt
Only a tiny shoe
In token OF the dead.
This poem was inclosed in q letter
which was addressed to Mary Eleanor
Isaacs, who holds some sort OF an o.
hcial position at the very -hospita!
in the letter were also three wisps of
golden hair, taken no doubt by Mrs.
Isaacs from the heads of her dead chill
dren.

RESOLUTIONS.
If We Keep All These We May Hone
for the Coming of the
Millennium.

Fellow-Citizens: Upon this, the birth
of new year, let us resolve:
Never again to ask our wife what she
did with all that five dollars" we gave
her three months before;
To own up, without equivocation, that
we were asleep in church.;
Not to attempt to eat the things that
we know do not agree with us;
To stop reading a paper that we do not
like, instead Of forever grumbling over
it;
Not to complain about our neighbours
chickens, when our own dog runs loose;
To respect our wife's opinion when it
is contrary to ours;
To refrain from demanding, What is
the matter with the dinner?" when, if
we looked at the clock, we would see that
it is not yet time for it;
Not to deride ping-pong- then
adopt it;
Not to tell the president what he ought
to do;
To admit that other persons motives
are as good as ours;
Then to die right away quick. ere our
halo becomes tarnished.-Edwin L. Sa-
bin, in Puck.

a New Year Story

Sun clouds scudded gustily across the
sky, hiding the peaceful face of the
moon, whose radiance touched the edges
OF her somber veil with fringe Of sill
yer. The great gray tower lifted its
head far aloft in the midnight stiffness,
and the wind moaned around it's rough
heWn corners requiem for the dying
year. Within the tower sat the old bell
ringer. waiting for the stroke of ~ from
the clock, and, as he waited, his thoughts
drifted back to the years long buried in
the dimness of the past-the years when
his floating white hair had been crisp and
black, when his long, slender fingers were
strong and supple and struck from the
midnight chimes music of enhancing
beauty.
An! life had been worth the living
IN those far-off happy days. People had
predicted wonderful future for him, and
in spite of the poverty that retarded his
progress, and a great ambition possessed
him. Obstacles were pushed aside. diff
culties overcome. as he worked by day
and studied by night, and the bells in
the tower spoke marvellous things to the
many who listened, and who, listening
praised. Their praise was sweet, but
Elspeth's was sweeter, and, when one
New Years eve, he told her of his love
and won her promise to be his own, his
heart beat with rapture that thrilled
through the chimes that night till listen
ers wondered and children came back
from dreamland to hear.
Oh, happy memory! Oh, long ago!
1t was on another night like this that
Ruprecht was born; and the joy which
beamed from the pale young mothers
face was reflected in his own, as he left

THE HUNTS
HAPPY DAY
>~-.~~ ~14 A-
A NEW YEAR STORY
By Ernssf Gilmore

1t was a New Years day. There
had been a big storm and although the
wind had spent it's force the snow fell
steadily.
Regular winter weather and no mis-
take about it, observed Mr. Richard
Hunt, as he came in rather noisily,
stamping the snow from his boots, but
l like it, So cold and bracing."
Mrs. Hunt, who was sitting near an
open fire, laughed.
II like the house best such a day as
this she said, shiverng a little. II
don't believe I'd be willing to face the
cold, even for the sake of the bracing.'
Il think heard you say you were go
ing to see old Mrs. Heller to-day" Mr..
Hunt remarked, as he seated himself
comfortably. Have you changed your
mind?"
ayes, I've changed my mind. 1 did
tell you that was going to see her,
but III have to wait until some other
day. Poor old Mrs. Helfer!"
us she sick?"
Eyes"
And suppose she's very lonely since
her daughter died?"
"Yes."
II shouldn't wonder if she has con-
tinual struggle to make both ends meet
since that disastrous bank failure"
Il don't believe cse does make the
ends meet. I feel w. sorry for her"
But not quite sorry enough for you
to go and see her as you intended to do
to-day?" teasingly.
Some other day will do as well-will
it not?" she questioned, wondering at
his persistence.
"Not if she needs you to-day. Come,
get on your wraps and III go with you. "
why, Richard Hunt, what's got into
you? l thought you never liked to go
calling, especially at such places"

ing pleasantly, "but can you tell me

stopped before her, and was now I'M
loading it's human freight. Over it's
windows it bore the sign, california
Street,"
California street! Elsie's eyes bright
ened. Impulsively she ran forward
and was soon Whirling along in the car.
She was no longer sad; no longer lonely,
for she was going to make New Years
call on the ashingtons-George, Mar
tina, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson
Arathusa and Amaryllis. She had
been to see them once before On the
day of her arrival Miss Morgan had ia
ken her to the miserable little shanty.
and now she was going to see if she
might not bring little sunshine to the
six little orphans, whose mother had
died but the month before.
She picked her way carefully among
the ash heaps and tomato cans that lit
tered Moxeys alley till she stood on the
little doorstep and pushed open the
rickety door. And what sight met her
eyes! The six little Washingtons sat
huddled about stove in which a few
Goals cleaned family. Martha the eld-
est, a girl about Elsie's age, crouched
on a stool, and in her arms she held
Baby Amaryllis, so swathed in ragged
quilt that she looked like little pap
poose Abraham Lincoln crept close tn
Martha's knee, and was whimpering
with the cold Andrew Jackson and his
twin, Arathusa, we're huddled together,
while George Washington, the man Of
the family now, was searching the dim
corners of the bare room, hoping against
hope that some bit of coal might be
there.
Martha explained in dull, hopeless
sort of way, all that Elsie had guessed
at a glance.
Nanny, she lef' us all alone, an
thar amt nuthin' to eat, an no money
to buy none. I couldn't go to work
scrubbin' count o. the awful cold cotch
an George Washington, he amt no
bigger'n a minute, an folks won't give
him no sidewalks ter shuvel. 'clar' ter
goodness, Missy, l dom know what
goin' to come O. we all, cause nanny
allwus said it wus better fer to starve
ner to beg"
"Well, you needn't beg, Martha, and
you're not going to starve on New Years
day. You just bundle those children
up, for I'm going to take you all to some
place where it is bright and beautiful,
and oh, as warm as summer-time!"
In contrast with her present sur
roundings the great, fine depot seemed
all this. Martha obeyed wonderingly.
and it was strange little procession
that filed out of the darkness of Moxey's
alley and a very GREATNESS company
that clambered into Jerry Flynn's hack
which Elsie had hailed in the grandest
manner possible. Jerry Flynn trembled
for the moment at the thought of his
bright broadcloth Innings, yet there was
no need. The little Washingtons were
as clean as soap and water would make
them. Their little black faces had been
scrubbed till they fairly shone, and
now that hunger and cold were forgot
ten in the Joy of riding with this beau
tiful lady who had said that she would
take them to some place where it was
