To Him That Asks.

One of the little boys who found a
good home through The DeIineator,
which is conducting campaign for
the placing of homeless children in
good homes, visited the editorial Of
fees, accompanied by his foster-moth-
er. He is very nice little boy, but
he has passed through some very Bit
ter experiences for a five-year- old,
and in so doing has contracted some
bad habits. One of these is that of
telling falsehoods. His new mother
has talked long and patiently with
him and has taught him in his prayers
at night to ask the Lord for a good
heart. That night Willie prayed ear
nestly:
Dear Lord, give me a good heart.
Such a fierce old heart I have you
know, and | want a good one"
The new mother closed the door
softly and wiped her eyes. "We are
taking him a year on trial." she says,
shut in spite of the fault, [ think we
shall keep him"

HOW TO HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Jersey Farmer Suggests Scheme to
Avoid Making Ruts.

Jersey Farmer Suggests Scheme to
Avoid Making Ruts.
A farmer at Finderne, n. j., writes
as follows to the editor Of the New
York Evening Telegram:
| would like to call the attention of
road masters and autOmobilists to
matter consideration of which on their
part would confer a great benefit on
the driving public.
On some of the roads of Long Island
is posted a notice requesting persons
driving not to confine their vehicles to
a single part of the thoroughfare thus
producing two ruts, constant wear on
which uses the roadway up in very
short order. Compliance with the post
ed request on the roads mentioned
keeps them smooth throughout their
entire length and breadth and a delight
to motorists and all others using them.
Union avenue in this town Finderne)
is q favOrite with motorists, and If
the Long Island rule were posted and
obeyed it would be fine thoroughfare
Instead it consists Of two long ruts of
from one to six inches in depth, which
require constant attention and repair.

PARRISH SAYS Ills
WIFE is DEMFNIFD
San Juan Miner to Intercede
With Persons Whose Names
Were Forged

Distracted at being unable to COM
municate by wire with either of the
persons whose names his wife is alleged
to have forged to checks f. A. Parrish
left San Francisco yesterday afternoon
to seek them. Mrs. May Parrish, wife
of the San Juan miner. and her pretty
baby are still in the city prison. One
OF the names forged is that of H. L.
Johnston, a mine owner of Allegheny
City, Sierra county, and the other Mrs.
Z. A. Brunson of San Juan.
Mrs Parrish is kept incomunicado.
but her husband said yesterday that
she did not realize that she had done
wrong and he believed she was not in
her right mind. They had been mar
ried three years and since her baby was
born. about IA months ago, she had not
been quite right mentally
"She told me-" said Parrish, that
she wanted to go 10 Sacramento to get
her share in an estate of about $4,000
and thought that she would like to go
to San Francisco for a short visit.
took her and the baby to. Nevada City
week ago yesterday and saw them
off. l was shocked and surprised when
I learned that she was in prison here.
She had $40 with her when she left
and I thought that was enough to bring
her back. I always provided well for
her and cannot see why she should
commit forgery. She gives me as a
reason that she was disappointed in not
getting her share in the estate and
thought she would get the money on
the checks so that she would keep her
word with me, and when she did get
her share she would pay the money
back.
The bank officials have told me that
as far as they are concerned there will
be no prosecution, and I hope to be
able to influence Johnston and Mrs.
Brunson to drop the matter, as they
have lost no money"
Mrs. Parrish's tale of destitution so
worked upon the feelings of Detectives
Wren and Riordan on Monday that they
each gave her $5. which her husband
returned yesterday. The police admit
that the case is puzzling, but are in
clined to believe that the woman may
be mentally irresponsible.
