Little Wretch.

A ten-year-old boy was in Judge
Hanks office the latter part of the
week charged with beating and
abusing his mother. The mother
was OF good size, and was strong
enough to pound the wadding out
of the brat il she but chose so to
do. Yet the lad was taken charge
of by the law and put where he Il
have no mother till he gets big
enough to appreciate her.
The boy had been in the habit Of
throwing stove-wood at his mother,
beating her with sticks, using bad
language TO her, and otherwise
showing that God wasted mud
when lie made him. The father.
Il is reported, did nothing to make
the boy behave decently: hence the
abuse he heaped on his mother.
What we cannot understand il
why the mother did not kill the
little devil, She might have caught
him when he was asleep, hogtied
him, and bas,cd him so he couldn't
eat, stand or talk. She would
have been justified in breaking
every bone IN his body-bccausc
such boy is bound to turn up in
the pen or on the scaifold later in
life.

Idea Is Gcod.

CITY Engineer w. w. Good.
rich has made a suggestion the
carrying out of which would create
a fine throughfare at a nominal
expense.
From the city limits of Portland
at Northern Hill Mr.. Goodrich has
considered the Improvement OF the
extension of Dawson street follow
ing the carline down to Jersey
street in St. Johns. AT the present
time this highway is nameless after
striking the St. Johns limit-but it
is only fair to presume that it will
be called Dawson street to AVOID
any confusion arising.
Along this street runs the carline
and, at present, merely a lane,
over-grown with weeds and covered
with debris, to blaze the trail
which should be a fine street in the
near future. Mr.. Goodrich sug-
gests that the street should be
made the full So-feet width, made
to grade--and if the property
owners will but take sufficient in
terest in the matter it is safe to say
that every foot of real estate along
the way will greatly enhance in
value.
Should this be done the railway
will be in it for its relative share of
the work-and the cost of the pro-
posed Improvement would not fall
heavily upon anyone. When the
increased valuation Of the abutting
and adjacent property is considered
the cost would be actually nothing
to those who at present possess
titles to it. All along the route
would spring up pretty homes
each one adding new values to the
whole locality.
