Send Them To Bed With
A Kiss

o Mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares Of the day,
You often grow cross ard impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many thing going amiss;
But, mothers, whateyer may vex you,
Send the children to bed with kiss
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps, from the pathway Of right,
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss
And as thanks for your infinite blessings
Send the children to bed with kiss
For some day their noise will not vex
you
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for their childish voices
For sweet childish face at the door; !;
And to press a child's face to your
bosom
You'd give all the world for just this!
For the comfort twill bring in your
sorrow,
Send the children to bed with kiss!

regular Santa Fe train, but as soon as
he reached the Texas line he was COM
PEELED to desert the coach occupied by
the white people and occupy a car all
by himself.
He proceeded TO make himself COM
Portable and turned over one of the
seats to rest his feet on the cushions
The conductor came to him and told
him TO leave the seat alone The negro
replied that the car was his and the
conductor was forced 10 admit it and
left him alone
Then the man for whose benefit the
Jim Crow law was passed sat with
his feet on the cushions of one seat
and his back to the other and puffed
away on a cheroot, cackling every
time the conductor came in and say
ing, Well, Use got private car all
right" 1t was all his for 20 miles, and
when he reached the union station he
deserted it and left it for some other
to own for a 20-mile ride.
The negro who enjoyed the privilege
of whole car was A. P Jones, an FL
Paso barber.
