SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.
The Individual and the State.

The Individual and the State,
The statesmen come, the statesmen
go.
1 do not care.
II Is the hour Of private woe
That brings despair.
The pease and cabbage are unboiled
And there they sit,
While every hope Of cheer is spoiled
The cook has quit!
The crisis in some cabinet,
The purchased vote,
The reckless management of debt,
1 do not note
With the concern that should be due.
The stoves unlit
And sadly I conf1de to you
The COOK has QUIT.

JUDGE DISCUSSES
HOMES SANCT|TY
Collins Tells Husband of His
Responsibility.

The quietude Of the Criminal
Courtroom was broken with APP
plause this morning when Judge
James A. Collins deplored the lack
of responsibility between husband
and wife, during the trial of Rollie
Metz, &c S. Tuxedo ST.. charged with
wife and child desertion. Metz is
alleged to have deserted his wife
and 6-year-old daughter last August
and was returned here from San
Diego, Cal, recently by Deputy
Sheriff John Sands.
Unless there is an awakening as
to the sanctitYRof the home, We are
gone" said Judge Collins after evil
dence had been heard. 1T is a seri-
Gus thing for a man to turn his
back on his wife and child and ex-
pect them to eat Off the lawn"
Mrs. Metz refused to agree to q
compromise plan, whereby her hus,
band would be released and would
contribute toward the support of
their child. She said she would
work and support the child herself.
Judge Collins will pass judgment
Tuesday morning.
