The COP
LOVED
ANOTHER

United Press Leased Wire.l
San Francisco. June 26.-So far as
San Francisco is concerned, the status
of trial marriages is fixed for all
time. That they are contrary to pub
lie policy, and that no action for
money based upon the services rem
dered by the woman, can be main
tained by a court, was the gist of
decision given yesterday by Judge
Mogan in the case of Margaret Nc
GratI, trial wife of Policeman
Charles McGrush.
A happy period of trial marriage
between the two was recently broken
off by Grush's new-found love for
another woman. Miss McGrath de-
manded the payment of $3.50 which
she alleged was due in view of an
agreement entered into by the pair
when the trial was agreed upon.
Crush and the new love, who is
now his wife, averred that the claim
had been settled. II was also stated
that the new rms. Grus had fur
nished the $3.50 that had sufficed to
persuade her to relinquish her claim.
The presence of a third woman in
the court, who heatedly accused the
COP of being "the worst flirt on the
force" enlivened the proceedings.

THE NORMAN "0YEZ."
A Legacy of William the Conqueror to
the Courts.

A Legacy of William the Conqueror to
the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been In
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court
Of the whatever district it may bel is
now in session"
Not many persons, however. realize
that the crier says "oyeZ, oyez, oyer"
instead of "harken, harken, harken,"
because Of a chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had Overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter a court
room, he heard the crier call the as
Semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, Oyez," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as a reminder Of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle of Hastings

THE PRISON BIRD.
Tyranncal and Jealous Feathered
Beauty of Africa.

Tyrannical and Jealous Feathered
Beauty of Africa.
The popularity Of the prison bird, a
feathered beauty of Africa, is that he
is the most tyrannical and jealous
of husbands, imprisoning his mate
throughout her nesting time. Living
stone watched the birds habits while
in MonpOur and in his subsequent OBJ
servatiOns referred to the nest as
prison and the female bird as slave.
The nest is built in the hollow of
tree through an opening in the bark
AS soon as it is completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in 1t. Then papa walls UP
the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass
through. He keeps faithful guard and
brings food at regular intervals with
out fail. The female thrives under her
enforced retirement. But if the prison
bird is killed or in any other way pre-
vented from fulfilling his duties the
mother and her little ones must die Of
starvation, for she cannot free herself
from bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts I'M
til the chicks are old enough to fly.
Then the male bird destroys the bar
rier with his beak and liberates his
family. ct is charming" writes Liv-
ingstone, ito see the joy with which
the little prisoners greet the light and

If there is hereoism in the

There are men who nightly

Where is my boy tonight?
You are his father or mother
and if you desire to lay your
hands upon your boy within
five minutes any night, you
wouldn't know where to find
him. He's on the street
somewhere, or at the railroad
depot jumping on freight
trains but just where, with
whom, in what engaged, what
plotting or what executing for
the shrewder ones who plot
for him, you could not tell for
the life of you. He has a good
home and he ought to be there
at night. He desires to be
somewhere else with the
boys, and you lack the moral
courage to insist that he
shall be where he should be.
You hope that he will escape
the pitfall, but you know the
chances are against him. Why
don't you do the boy the kind
ness to keep him home nights?
The time will come when he
will thank you for it or re-
prOach YOU for not doing it.

The old Woman.
Was it you young man, we
heard using those word when
speaking to your mother.
The old woman. A nice
phase to be using about the
dear soul who kept her virgil
over you in infancy, kissed
away your tears in childhood
and remains your truste d
friend in maturity. Is this
all the love you have for the
silver haired mother who
bathed your scorching brow
all through the long sleepless
nights Of affection, when your
brain was wild with burning
fever? Is there no other
term you can find for her
whose love has followed you
through every trial, and
misfortune of your life?
Has mother through all these
years of labor, watching and
waiting, been wasting her
love on a worthless bunch of
clay, who in the rosy dawn of
manhood has no other term
more fitting than ''the old
woman" by which to address
or speak to his mother?
Mother, young man is the
sweetest name in all the
world and should be held in
reverence by every boy.
The time is coming when her
feeble hands will be folded
her watchful eyes closed and
the lips once warm with
mothers love be cold, the
heart whose anxious beatingS
once followed your hayward
feet will be stilled forever.
So while you can, call her
mother, you will miss her
when she's gone. Remember
what she has suffered for you.
When every friend has for
saken you, mother is as true
as steel. And now that she
is step by step going down
LIES other side, to near the
waters edge and to step &C
cross, comfort her old age by
speaking kindly and affection
ately to her and make her feel
that life was not lived in vain
and all the toll without recon-
pense. Lead her gently
through old age and when you
speak of her or to her do not
style her as ''the old woman"
but place a kiss upon her
wrinkled brow and say mother
and in repay her for the many
heart aches she has suffered
in your behalf. Sing to her
softly, and see the light of
love come to her eyes as she
hears her boy say in tones
which seem to her as gentle
as the rustic of an angels
wing, "Mother, I love you"
