From CHILDHOOD UNTO MANHOOD
CLARENCE II. vEALE

CLARENCE ~. NEALE
AS in the crib the babe does lie,
And the watchful mother without :; siel
Each day she tolls and abors
For that babe SO fair,
Until days, weeks, years have gone
And he is no more care.
Each hour she tolls and lalors
From dawn till setting sun,
Until everything is polished
And her daily work is done.
And after many a year
This babe becomes a man;
And then it comes his turn
To do what e'er he can.
AS the boy leaves his home so dear.
And the old mother with face of cheer
Advises her son of his future career.
AS a young man this babe has grown,
And commences hard battles of his own.
1T IS not SO easy as when at home
AS it is for him to stray and roam.
AS to man this babe has grown,
Out in the world he goes alone.
Little he thinks what care he's been,
For mother and all who We cared for him

TEST DRAINAGE LAW
Case at Storm Lake Involves Its
ConstitutionaIIty.
Bond Providing for Payment
Held Not Sufficient

Storm Lake, Ia, May 80.
In a test case involving the
constitutionality of the new
drainage law Judge Bailie
handed down an opinion, the
substance of which is that dam
ages awarded to property own
ers affected by the ditch must
De paid to them previous to the
work of constructing the ditch,
and holding that bond provid-
ing for the payment of such
damages at some subsequent
lme did not comply with the
constitutional right of damaged
parties to the amount awarded
hem prior to the taking of the
and or construction of the
Itch. The new law seems to
cave the matter of the bond
largely to the discretion Of the
county auditor. If this opinion
f upheld it will mean that all
The money awarded as damages
must be provided or arranged
o be paid before the actual
work can be started. On all
he other objections raised to
he law Judge Bailie's decision
lpholds the paesent law. Cor
oorations dealing in bonds are
waiting for the decision of the
supreme court in this and other
est cases and a vast amount of
lrainage work in this and other
counties is being held up until
the matter is settled.

NINETEEN DIE IN FIRE.
Blaze, Evidently of Incendiary Origin,
Causes Awful Disaster.

Blaze, Evidently of Incendiary Origin,
Causes Awful Disaster.
New York, March 16.-Nineteen per-
sons were burned to death in a fire
which destroyed a five-story tenement
house yesterday. More than forty
were injured and only few Of the
sleeping inmates escaped unhurt.
Several of those who persisted were
roasted to death in plain view of thou
sands in the streets.
Coroner Goldenkranz declared, after
an investigation, that he had reason to
believe the blaze was the work Of an
incendiary.
He issued subpoenas for the fire
marshal, tenement house and building
inspectors and health and police Of
ficials to appear before him at the in
quest Thursday.
The fire started in the basement
and spread with frightful rapidity to
the roof. The victims were
Caught in Traps of Flames,
the halls and exits being rendered i'm
passable in few minutes after the
blaze started.
The building was one of the usual
crowded tenements, and the disaster
was the worst in the history of the
East side.
The district attorneys Office has be-
sun an investigation to place the
blame for the great loss of life.
Chief Croker of the fire department
asserts that the police and tenement
house departments are to blame for
the violations of the fire escape law.
The tenement house department Off
Gals say that blame is on the Shout
ders of the fire commissioner.
Of the nineteen dead, three bodies,
those of boy and two girls, remain
unidentified.
