sTlNeY HUSBAND Law
WORKS FINE !

Two lazy husbands have been
brought to time by the new law pro-
viding for a rockpile sentence and
the payment to wives of $3.50 per
day for work done for the county
when their families are destitute
and other means fail to bring sup
port.
An agreement was signed by
Chauncey B. Butler before the dis
trict attorney whereby he pledges
50 week from his salary to be
paid directly to the wife by his en-
ployer.
The case of G. 4. Wood, bus
driver. was taken up. According to
the story Of Mrs. Wood, he earns
$50 q month and gave her dollar
or two whenever he felt flush. Out
of this she has had to support 3
children and pay $40 each month

NUTHIN' MUCH

In the beginning there was Will
lies father Then came Willie's
mother and then came Willie.
In the years since the beginning,
however. Willie's father eliminated
himself from the situation, but his
abesnce became a palpable factor in
the affairs of Willie and his mother
and he was indeed gone but not
forgotten.
So there is only Willie and his
mother, and they are in a stuffy
room far above the street, lighted
by l narrow window through which
brick walls and smoke clouds may
be seen.
Willie's mother Ia lying on the
ragged bed in the corner OF the
room, and the half light which sue
ceeds in getting past the high walls
and the smoke reveals her motion
less save as her pale features may
writhe with some-spasm of pain.
Willie, Gated at the table MUNICH

er who had lavished upon him
everything that heart full Of I'M
selfish devotion could provide out
of meager possibility. They had
lived together for many, many
years, 1t seemed to Willie. He re-
membered that very long time
ago she had received letter from
tanned something very sad, for she
had cried over it many times.
Once one of the neighbors had in
quired of old Mrs. Brisbin the cause
of the trouble that had come to
Willie's mother.
"Oh, nuthin' much" the woman
had said harshly. Her ole man S

Willie had but vague recollec-

to have a place in his thoughts as
he saw that his mother was suffer

1t seemed peculiar to Willie that
his mother should be sick Since
he could remember, she had never
complained of illness. True, that

was thick on the windows, he had

and, rocking to and fro, her hands
clasped about her knees, cry silent

crawled from the bed and hoped
over to where she sat on the cold
floor before the stove, and, putting
his arms around her, had inquired
the cause of her tears.

they had crept back into the bed

against the cold which hung dear.

But she was sick and she lay on the
bed with the comforter drawn tight
around her breast, and as he looked
at her a great and awful dread
arose in his throat and choked him.
He crapt up silently and put his
arms over her. She drew his head
down to her own and kissed him
again and again. That touch OF
tenderness opened the floodgates OF
his grief, and he sobbed and sobbed.

be better soon," she told him, anu
comforted by her words, even as
he had been SO many times III the
past, he became quiet.
1t was Willie's desire to get some
fruit for his mother. He had great
faith in the efficacy of fruit inEcases
of sickness, and he daily realized
that the wretched food they had
was insufficie for the mother who
was stretched helpless upon the
bed.
Down in the street were fruit
stands, and it was comparatively
easy to "swipe" an organge and get
away; he had seen other boys do
1t, but Willie was a supersensitive
soul. He was not like the .kids"
in the tenement. A rude noise
alarmed him. a curse or a threat
terrified him. Somebody had said
that Willie was born scared, and it
seemed to have been so.
But resolution, the offspring OF
the direst extremity, forced him
cringing down the stairs and out
into the warm summer evening. 1t
is scarcely necessary to tell what
Willie did, but when he came back
his heart beat wildly with the fear
of pursuit. His soul quivered I'M
der the language which had fol.
lowed him down the street as he
had clumsily seized the coveted
fruit and fled. But he saw his
mother and forgot his shame.
She was asleep. He would step
carefully and surprise her. Softly
he approached the bed and touched
her face with his hand.
A SILVER of horror ran through
him. "Mother!" he cried in an
agony of fright, "Mother!" She d,u
not move. Fear almost paralyzed
him. but he ran across the hall and
called Justify for help. The neigh
bors flocked in. One sent Willie
for a doctor.
A few moments later, almost
breathless, he arrived with a young
physician whose poverty had made
him one with the people CT the
slums. Willie ran before the doc
tor to the bed and took the rigid
form in his arms.
Mother, mother" he pleaded.
The doctor drew the boy gently
aside.
"She is dead" he said.

have been informed OF these abuses;
