FOR THE EYE AND HEART
OF MOTHERS MAYNARD BOY
(By R. H. Greneker.)

(By R. H. Greneker.)
All of US in life have our varying
moods. For the past few weeks l
have been in the mood to write such
as I have written in the lines below.
My present mood, no doubt, was
caused by the fact that have to
'break up" and move. 1t is with sad
ness I will leave the pleasant place
where I have spent the past several
years. It is in a delightful neighbor-
hood, where peace reigns with good
will among the neighbors, both white
and colored citizens of the vicinity
living in quiet serenity with nothing
to modest or make them.afraid. 1t is
friendly ali along Harrington street,
and I shall miss the daily greetings
that have been mine as passed each
happy home, especially the warm
greetings of my sincere little friends.
l love Harrington street. Her trees
around me stand, "dear as the apple
of mine eye and craven on my hand" )"
"The, radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store"
and
''The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky;
Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening ie."
So, a few more days and I shall
leave you. Then, goodbye, old Har-
rington street, goodbye.
The following lines are written for
those Of my young friends among the
boys who are at the fork of the roads
and inclined to take the wrong way.
1 hope my effort will arrest them be-
fore it be too late:
I've been gone for many years from
the city of my birth; {. s
Have wandered far away Ger the
rugged roads of earth,
But I'm going home for rest again,
for a place to lay my head
Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
All! no, it can not be: / must see her
face once more;
Must hear again that voice so sweet,
so glad in days of yore,
For feel the sadness now, as / know
ksr heart has bled-
On! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
/ remember well her happy smile, her
tears of sweetest joy,
AS she held in fond embrace the one,
who was her darling boy.
I see the home, the cottage dear, my
little trundle bed
Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
Don't say that she is dead, for yearn
to let her know,
That love her, truly love her, as IN
days long, long ago;
Is it too late to say it now-what IN
my heart I've said?
oh. tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
How bright her eye, that deep blue
eye, how smooth her noble brow;
But if alive,- those features dear are
pale and wrinkled now.
Because of grief and sorrow felt Tor
the life that have led
Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
I drank the wine and journeyed on
through all those feeting years
In dissipation's crooked paths, beyond
mothers tears;
Despite her calls, her cries, her pray
ers, only farther tread
Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
/ love my mother. Tell her SO. I've
prayed to make her glad,
To bring again those blessed smiles
to the face I've made so sad;
But those days are gone, the days OF
the past have fled
Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother
dead?
Where is the babe once his mothers
delight?
Where is the promise his youth gave
so bright?

One deponent says Scotch was pro-

his bare feet showed into slippers, sat

The affidavits Of Miss Provost, Mtss
Blake and Mrs. belmont are distinctly
unfavorable to Arbuckle. Miss Pre-

they heard Miss Rape moaning and
rushed to get into Arbuckle's room t.
aid her, only to find the door heavily
bolted against their efforts. Finally,
they declare, Arbuckle emerged. and
they rushed in past him, to find Miss
Rape almost without clothing, her
costume torn to shreds and strewn
about the room, even her stocking
ripped.
Dying Cries Actress.

her to another room, where she was

plant in a month. In the first blaze
five persons lost their lives and dam
sage to property was estimated at
81, 500, 600. The financial loss yester-

Y Yesterdays fire is believed by COM
spany officials to have been caused by
a loose connection in a tube leading
from a naphtha still to a nearby vat.
The hot oil pouring from this leak, it
said, came in contact with the
flames from the furnaces beneath the
stills and resulted in the explosion.
