Why Must Such Things
Be?

A BILL is introduced in Paris
Alimiting public jobs to fathers
of at least three children. What
the world needs, just now, is not
more babies, but a surviving
chance for those already here.
Humane officers, at Hornell,
N. Y, investigating a report that
the corpse of Lee Aliens infant
son was, for several days, used
as doll" by his wretched
brothers and sisters, find the
family living in a single chicken
coop. Allen allows that they
probably dug the CHASTITY play
thing out of the adjacent yard
where he inferred it. Plenty of
work for missionaries in neigh
borhoods much nearer than the
Fiji Islands and Timbuctoo.
Edward Sailstad, held in
California for defrauding in
surance companies of $4,000,
admits he exhumed the body of
Allen McFee from a Wisconsin
cemetery and burned it along
with his bungalow, leaving his
wife to collect the proceeds
of the crime. Mrs. Sailstad,
thinking herself a widow, has
since married.
A stenographer, with whom
the arrested man eloped. as
sisted him in stealing the
cadaver, which was secreted in
q stone pile the night before
cremation.
Love that can nerve a woman
TO such supreme pitch deserves
far better of Destiny. The
Fates may know what they're
about, but there are moments
when it's hard for ordinary
mortals to believe it.
For instance, why should a
toddler's happiness be sacri-
feed to Mr.. Campbell's ex-
asperaticn at Mrs. Campbell's
bridge?
She trumped his ace, and
because of subsequent remarks
the couple separated and courts
must determine who shall have
custody of the boy.
Could Solomon deliver judy
Inent, he'd doubtless decide.

THE SWAN SONG OF SUMMER.

Tis August! and against the azure
sky
The sombre pines their jetted
needles swing;
The heat waves dance upon the
ripening corn
And high above, white cranes are
on the wing!
The Zinnias by the fence-row, ruby
red,
Are blazoning the summers fiery
trail,
Where wasps and bees and butter
flies alight;
And plantive sounds the piping of
the quail.
lis August! and the dusty country
road
Is thanked with sumach and the
goldenrOd;
Huge wagons, piled with logs of
oak and pine,
Go creakingly, while patient oxen
plod.
The mirrored pool with lilly pads
is framed
Like some fair glass where only
Dryads peer, 49,
Till, suddenly, a whorle of ripples
break
The solitude, and 10! a Loon is
here!

The sombre pines, their jetted

The new moWn hay makes evening

And from the hedge, a million

that she would declare the treaty abb
