writes as follows: -

To lull and to lessen her sevenfold

Her name I first lisped when in life's
sunny morning

THE LITTLE IRISH MOTHER.

y = = = u -.
When at last the books are balanced
in the. settling-up to be,
And our idols on the rubbish heap are
hurled,
Then the Judge shall call to honor
not the stars" it seems to me,
Who have posed behind the footlights
and the world;
But the king shall doff his purple, and
the queen lay by her crown,
And the great ones of the earth shall
stand aside.
While a Little Irish Mother, in her
tattered, faded gown,
Shall receive the crown that earth to
her denied.
In the measure we advance in grace
we sink in our own esteem.

baby girl adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Guest barely reached her teens when
it was called by the angel of death.
They do not regret that they adopted
the child; but as Mr.. Guest said, if
there be one thing in their life they,
do not regret, it is that for at least
few years they gave the happiness Of
true home to a. little child who had
been deprived of such a blessing by
the inscrutable designs of Providence
There are countless magnificent
homes in the large cities of the United
States. They are splendidly con-
tructed-fnished to the last word
of perfection. Their salons are filed
with art that has been gathered from
the far corners OF the world Their
halls are filled with the choicest music
that human hand and human voice
can produce. In many of them there
is lacking that one thing that makes
a home-the one work of the great
artist-the sweetest music that ever
penetrated human ear there is
wanting child and its laughter.

Troops were ordered here by Gov
ernor Morrow at the request of Judge
Hiram Johnson. whose first official act
after assuming his duties January |
was to discharge the petit and grand
juries in an effort, he said. to clean
up Clay county. The request was made
following the circulation of reports
that the Martins and Philpots, rela-
tives of the defendant, were planning
to march here 100 strong, to prevent
the conviction of Steve Martin "even
If they have to blow up the court
house" Members of the Burge clan

Thousands to Visit
The Passion PLAY

Oberammergau, Germany, Jan. Is.
One hundred thousand or more Wis
itors already have applied for tickets
to the Passion Play to be staged ncyt
summer, from May to September.
AS soon as 1t was definitely known
the play would be performed this year
prices here were advanced enormously
and there was apparent tendency to
hoard everything possible against the
day when the "rich foreigners" came.
The Passion Play committee has taken
this situation in hand and will issue
price lists and seek with all energy
to avoid any "profiteering."

SEAMEN RESCUED
NONE TOO SOON

New York, Jan. 15.-Without food
and water for two days and during
that time lashed to the cabin hatch of
their waterlogged craft to prevent
them from being washed overheard
by mountainous seas, Capt. V. M. Cole
and seven members of the crew of
the American schooner, James M.
Hall, arrived here today on the steam
ship West Canon, which rescued them
$50 miles southeast of Cape May, N. J.
Virtually abandoning hope of ever
being picked up alive, the shipwrecked
crew used it's remaining dry match
Friday night to set fire to a dish pan
Of gasoline in last desperate attempt
to make known it's plight. The result
ant flare was seen from the West Cam
on Eound here from Java, which inn
mediately headed for it and took off
the men, who were suffering from cold
and hunger.
The schooner which left Charleston.
S. c., for Boston, January S, with a
cargo of lumber, was abandoned. She
registered 491 tons and was owned in
Boston.
Captain Cole said he encountered
heavy gales and rough seas soon after
leaving Charleston. They increased in
force and became so violent that the
vessel sprung leak and began to fill
with water. All hands were put to
work at the pumps, but they could
make little headway because of the
terrific pounding to which the craft
was subjected. Finally conditions be-
came so bad that the captain ordered
all men to lash themselves to the
hatch of the cabin, which was the
onlv part of the deck structure to re-
main above the surface. Except for
brief intervals when man would risk
the fury of the seas to send up dis
tress signals, they remained that way
for two days and nights with nothing
to eat or drink.

Lives of Two Taken by Negro

Swansea, Jan. 14.-Dilsey Livings-

were shot to death Friday afternoon,
about eight miles south of Swansea.
Will Fielder, another negro, is charg-
ed with shooting and is now in the
Lexington Jail, suffering from wounds
inflicted by officers when they at
tempted to arrest him.
The woman was shot twice, once in
the back through the right shoulder
blade and once in the left breast.
The woman was killed on the
Ebenezer church grounds. This took
place about o'clock in the after
noon.
Jones was killed about two miles
from the church on the farm of Met
Redd about an hour after the woman
had been killed. One bullet took eff
feet in the left breast of Jones and
passed clear through the body. The
bullet came out under the right
shoulder blade and was found in
Jones cl0httlng.
A posse secured the woods until a
late hour last night in efforts to ap-
prehend Fielder. Fielder was caught
today by Rural Police Asbill and
Deputy Sheriff Oswald. When the
negro saw the officers coming he
opened fire, on them. The officers re-
turned the fire, seriously wounding
Fielder with buckshot.
An inquest was conducted this af-
tcrnoon and the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that Dilsey Livingston
and Clemmie Jones came to their
death at the hands of Will Fielder.
The woman was about 25 years old
and Jones about 22.
