MOTHER AND THE GIRLS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

MOTHER AND the GIRLS.
Said the little old mother:
IF could live my life over again l
should bring up my daughters differ
entity &s
There was a pathetic droop to the
old shoulders and a worn look upon
the faded face. She had been little
less than a humble rug upon which
her daughters had put their feet.
And, sorrows crown Of sorrows-
The old mother knew that mostly it
had been her own fault.
1t is easy to fill the outlines-when
the girls heard mother get up they
turned over to take another nap; while
mother burned her face ironing their
dainty shirt waists they wept shallow
tears over the fate of some heroine of
fiction.
broom and mop stick; daughters mani.
cured their hands and cultivated their
compilations.
In short
The girls were taught by their moth
err from the first that they must have
the best of everything. while mother
would get along with the remnants.
Misguided mother.
Having a totally wrong conception
about the need OF Accomplishment
for girls in order to give her daugh
tiers "a chance" she had made Of her
self q common drudge.
Cruel daughters?
Not necessarily. Their selfishness
was the result Of their training. Moth
er had always done things for them
and they thought nothing about it

coffee warm, eaten the scraps ant

Voluntarily making the sacrifice tina
led to her daughters self indulgence
how could the mother expect them Il
be self abnegating?
And the pity of it!

Coroner Ferd Garretson has ap-

the man found drowned on the
meadows about a mile below the
Port Reading coal docks last Friday
afternoon, as Frederick De Berger,
cook of the Scully Towing Com
pany tug Hockendagua, who, it is
understood, has been missing. This
information was conveyed to the cor
oner by Peter Degenhardt, provis-
ion man, of 33 Hudson street, Jersey
City.
A number of bills for provisions
were found on the body when search
ed by the coroner. These bills bore
Degenhardt's address and were for
warded to him. He states that he
sold the bill of goods in question to
De Berfier on November %, 1910.
De Berger was cook on the tug In
question, Degenhardt states, and
has been missing since soon after the
above date. He has no relatives in
this part of the country as far as is
known. The appearance Of the man s
body would show that he had been in
the water for about the time covered
by his disappearance.

FIVE HORSES SAVED
Origin Is Unknown--SmaII
Blaze in Catherine Street
This Morning.

Damages amounting to approxi-
mately s1,500 were incurred by
fires early yesterday morning and
at 1920 o'clock this morning. The
stable of George ]. Haney, a local
coal dealer, situated in Pearl Place,
near High street, was discovered in
flames at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing by Patrolman Durham. Five
horses were saved, but several tons
Of hay and other contents Of the
building, a two-story frame affair,
were destroyed. The fire this morn
ing caused about $500 damages. 1t
started from an over-heated stove in
the one-story frame residence at 677
Catherine street, occupied by the
family of Janos Paryal, and owned
by Barton Kozmisiak.
Cause Is Unknown.
Fire started from unknown causes
In Mr.. Haney's barn. It began in the
hay loft section and burned rapidly.
After Officer Dunham turned in an
alarm Of fire from box 54 at State
street and Buckingham avenue, most
of the fire companies made good
time The Mcclellan Engine Com
pany members again experienced
trouble with the horse attached to
their hose wagon.
Horses Already Out.
After the officer had turned in the
alarm he ran back to save what he
could. The horses were already out
although it is not known how they
came to be out. Dunham broke opeI
the stable door and looked for 9th
er horses, but found none. He then
directed his attention to saving what:
t.----~~-ssH4vsvz-- una oruer property he
could The firemen did coed work
considering that several tons of ha!
were afire. The building contained
electric wires for lighting purpose:
and it is believed by some that {
spark from them ignited the hay.
Fire This Morning.
Fire started in Janos Parval'
home, in the rear of 677 Catherine
street, this morning, while he and
his family were in church It is pre-
sumed the origin was an overheated
kitchen stove, which occupied place
close to a wooden partition. The
alarm attracted thousands of men
women and children from various
parts of the city. The police had to
use force to drive the mob away
from the burning structure.

BARN WITH IA
H0RSESBURhED
Stable of George Hoffman
in Woodbridge Was Dts-
troyed Last Night.
LATE IN DISCOVERY
Interior Had Been on Fire
for Some Tims--Horse
Kicked Door Down.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Woodbridge, April 17:-A disas-
trous fire occurred here last night
when the barn belonging to George
Hoffman, In Perth Amboy avenue,
was consumed and fourteen horses
were burned. The dwellings of Mr..
Hoffman and Charles Farrell were
both close to the barn, but were
saved through the excellent work
done by the firemen.
The origin of the blaze Is not
known. A boy passing the place
about 10 o'clock saw the flames COM
ing from the roof of the barn. He
notified Mr.. Hoffman at once and an
alarm was sounded, but the fire had
gained much headway. 1t is evident
that the Interior had been on fire
for some time as one of the horses
had kicked so hard that 1t battered
the door down and ran out. 1t was
SO badly burned, however, that ii
had to be killed. The other horses
had no means of escape and when
help arrived the fire was so hot il
was impossible to get to them.
Mr.. Hoffman Is wholesale lum-
Der dealer. His loss is about $1,000
partly covered by insurance.
The Woodbridge firemen respond
ed promptly and worked hard tc
save the adjoining buildings. They
were highly praised for the efficient
manner in which they handled the
situation.
