DRUGS AND ABSlNTHE
DETHRONE HER REASON
Myra De Lora, Victim of Cruel Hus-
band, Is Sent to Rochester

Myra De Lora, insane from the ex-
cessive use of drugs and absinthe, was
committed TO the Rochester asylum
yesterday after an examination in the
probate court.
Unhappily~ married, the woman left
her husband when he struck her over
the head with bottle, inflicting a
wound which the physicians believe is
partially responsible for her mental
arrangement. After securing a di-
vorce the woman. young and pretty,
but without friends OF money, entered
upon life of shame, and at the time
of her arrest was an inmate of a re-
sort.
While apparently rational at times,
the woman frequently becomes violent,
and while in probate court yesterday
she cried bitterly, and said the authori-
ties had injected drugs into her arm to
keep her quiet. She will be taken to
the hospital today.

A CHRISTMAS MAMMA

By M. B. Bell.

-
1t was one of those dreary afternoons
n November. The rain had fallen
steadily all day, and Roland and Es-
tiaer Grahm, w motherless little chill
aren, were curled up on the rug in
front of the library fire, looking at
picture book.
Their nurse, who was a kind-hearted
sToraarl, had frequently explained the
stories in the book to them. And now,
with their little heads bent down over
Ahe page, they were looking at the pic
surc OF two little girls in bed. while a
woman with a gentle, motherly face,
was tuckfng them IN. Nurse had told
che children a long story about this
picture, what dear little one they
gere, and how loving and kind their
mother was to them.
"I wish we had a mother to tuck us
in and talk to us when the rainy days
come, and we can't go out said Ro-
land, sitting up straight and pushing
the book away from him YEARLY.
"Im tired looking at picture moth
ers. Christmas is soon coming, and
I'm going TO pray and ask God to send
as a real mother, what we "a talk to.
Then, oh! maybe papa will buy Us a
mother If we give him the money"
Use got no money! said little
esther. Il spent it all for Mary Jane,
n now shes broke and you'll have
all the new mamr"a and Essiem be SO
lonesome" and til little girl began to
cgy.
oh. Essie. what you crying for? I
haven't any more money than you
have, but / thought God wouldn't care
If this yea we bought a with
OR Christmas money, 'caus ives just
as poor without a ann as those
poor children.
Mr.. Gfahm was a little later than
nsua that evening. and somehow for
got to send for the little ones; but sat
before the fire thinking of Dora Lyn-
hurst, a little girl he had known in his
boyhood, and to whom he had once
been engaged. but a misunderstanding
had separated them, n he had after
ward married a slight. delicate girl,
who, dying the third year after their
marriage, had left him with the care
of their two children.
That morning an old friend had old
him that Dora, who had never married,
but had been abroad several years. had
at last returned, and he felt an intense
desire to see her again. 1t was with a
strong feeling of self-reproach thai he
sprang from his chair when he heard
the little nes at the door. and with
more than his usual warmth lie greet
ed them, for they were very dear to
him.
Mr.. Grahm saw at once hat some
thing was on their little minds. What
is It, Roland?" he asked, drawing the
little fellow to him.. You and Esther
look as though o had something to
ask me-
Yes, papa, we want you to please
bay us a for Christmas"
why. isn't your father enough, lit
lie chicks?"
"Ohl yes, papa, but Essie and I
thought, II instead of putting our
money in the envelopes his year we
gave 1t to you, you might buy us a
mother to tuck us in bed at night and
talk to us when you are out"
"'Cause We're dreadful lonesome at
hines" chimed in Esther.
