There was recently a big fire in a
small town in Devonshire, and a jour
nalist pushed his way through the
crowd to the cordon of police sur
rounding the burning building. .
"Where are you going?" demanded
a constable.
"I'm a reporter; I want to get some
particulars about the fire." was the
reply.
"Here, get out of this," said the
constable, pushing the newspaper
man back into the crowd, "you can

A Wife's Story Trial of the Husband For
" Cruelty to Her and His Three Small
Children Food the Bnin Tler Feeds
' Ob, and Tet Is Always Hungry.
- Six-years ago I met Joseph Kenna.
He was a good-looking young fellow.
Often ,1 watched him pass down the
street on his ice-wagon. Every night
he came to see me. Money was noth
ing to him then. He was making $12 a
week. He bought me everything. I
was happy.
"Oh," I used to say to him, "you're
too good to me; I don't deserve it. All
I can do is to love you."
I did love him with my whole soul.
I thought of him air day. Such a fine
fellow he was!
After a year he asked me to marry
him. I was the happiest woman on the
East Side. I was proud of Joe. So
we were married, and for a short time
things went well.
One night Joe came home late. I
thought he acted queer. He kissed me.
His braath smelled of beer. My heart
turned sick. I felt what was coming.
True enough, I knew there would be no
rest for me after that. Joe didn't say
much, and I didn't scold him.
The next day he told me he was
sorry, I forgave him. I hoped ouce
more. Iu a few nights he came in
again. It was midnight. "Where's
dinner?" he yelled. His eyes were
bloodshot and fierce. I was sitting up
for him.
. "Here it is, Joe, dear," I said. He
glared at me and swore a terrible oath.
Then he dashed the dishes on the floor.
I began to cry. "Shut up!" he shouted.
"I'll choke you."
I trembled with fear. He' fell on that
lounge there and dropped to sleep. It
made my heart bleed to look at him.
Oh, it was terrible! The next morn
ing he went away and never spoke to
me. It was the first time.
After that it got worse. Little Joe
was born. His father cursed at him
when he cried, and threatened to kill
him. He never came in till lata at
night. All the neighbors were afraid
of him. They wanted to help me, but
they were scared.
For five years night after night he
came home drunk. He would slap me
sometimes and strike the children. But
I loved him in spite of it all.
Little Joe was five and Julia two
years old when baby was born. She's
thirteen months old now. From that
tima Joe went from bad to worse. He
lost his position on the ice wagon. He
gave us nothing to eat.
"1 wish you were all dead," he would
growl.
How he got liquor, I don't know; but
get it he did. One cold night there was
no fire in the stove. I was freezing. I
wrapped my one shawl round the baby,
and Julia huddled up near me on the
bed. Little Joe came in. His hands
were red with cold.
"3Iamma," he cried, "here's a quar
ter a big man gave me." His father
stood in the doorway. He saw the
quarter. "Give ifhere," he growled.
"I won't," answered little Joe, run
ning to me.
His father picked up a chair and hit
the boy his own son. The quarter
rolled on the floor. The little fellow
did not move.
"You've killed my darling !" I cried.
He muttered out an oath and slunk out.
He always had a heavy whip. With
this he beat me and his little ones.
When they cried he laughed. Poor
little dears! When they heard him
coming their faces would go all white
and they would tremble all over.
Joe's clothes got all ragged. He
didn't care. Whisky was all he want
ed. At last I got sick. I had to lie
down. I was trying to sleep on the
sofa, not a month ago, when in stag
gered .Toe.
"Get up," he roared, and struck me
with the butf of his whip. I shrunk
away. - "Stop hitting my mamma," I
heard little Joe cry. He turned around
and threw the boy on the floor. Then
he struck the baby and stumbled out.
My body was all black and blue where
he'd hit me. I was sore all over. I
hugsced the poor baby. It kept looking
at ths door and streaming.
Too didn't come back that evening.
I kisspd the children and tried to keep
awake, but my eyelids were too heavy.
Little .7oe was crying for something to
eat. My head vas dizzy. There was
nothing in the room. I was faint. I
tried to nurse baby in vain.
Then I tried to get up. I was toe
weak and sore. I looked at the picture
of the Virgin there and prayed.
I could not see clearly. I put my
hand over one eye. All was dark. My
cup was full, but I hoped for the chil
dren. I told them to be good and hon
est and to love their poor mamma.
. For five days I lay on the bed. The
poor children cried for food. Joe came
in once. "For God's sake, dear," I said,
"light the fire and give the bairns
something to eat." He scowled at me
and broke a rocking chair on the floor.
I did not see him asrain.
Finally a man from some society
came in. He took me and cared for the
children. The next thing I knew I was
in Eellevue.
Joe has gone now. I am sorry for
him. He meant to kill me. He tried
to. but that was because he was drunk..
Perhaps he'll reform and be good after
he gets out of jail.
Perhaps he'll be glad te see kis boy
and girls growing up. I am praying
he will. I must support them till they
get big somehow.
If only my eyesight would come back
to me.

paper winds up the trial of a man for

Temperance Notes.
Cheerfulness is the bright weather of
the heart; "strong drink" withers it.
Given a sufficient motive, a drunkard
can redeem himself, even when he is
past middle age. . ,
The sale of beer has fallen oft greatly
in India, of late, owing, says an official
report, to "the spread of temperance
principles in the army."
The Rev. Harvey Wood tells Ocean
Grove, that drunkenness among the
women of America has; increased fifty
per cent within a few years. . .
Something: to Think About.
j0V. F there is any one class of

o a special favor at the hands
-A. T? A V. 14- la

the agricultural class, or
strictly speaking, the far
mers. No class of "people has ever
done so much for the United States as
the 'farming people. The farmers
tamed the continent from a wilderness
and made our country the very garden
of the world, annually furnishing
about seventy per cent, of our national
exports. In respect to what they have
done for the Government they need
no herald; in respect to ,what they de
serve at the hands of the Government
every patriotic citizen, in' public, as
well as private life, should be their
advocate. The farmers of the United
States, patient and determined, have
made no demands, though bearing the
heaviest burdens of life since the Re
public was instituted. The time has
come when they must have relief. Un
der present highway conditions most
everywhere the American farmer is
practically imprisoned at home through
at least the half of each year. That
half of the year is the time when he
could be best spared from the farm,
and when, with good roads, he could
market his products at a profit for
his toil. Now, howevpr, he must leave
the farm "in summer or early fall the
only time when the roads are passable
to market his products, and then al
ways on a congested market, or take
the chances of a hub-deep haul that
kills his stock, breaks wagon and har
ness, wears out the man and eats up
the fruit of his sweat. The good roads
season for the American farmer is the
very season when his whole time and
attention should be given to his farm
operations;' it is the crop season which
wits for no man, and which, neglect
ed, charges it up to the man behind
the plow. We all know what that
means. With good roads the farmer
could do his town going in rain or
snow, or when the ground Is too wet
to plow; with bad roads, as theyare
now, as they have been from the' be
ginning and as" they will be until the
Government of the United States ex
tends its aid as suggested in the
Brownlow-La timer bill, he must be
the great national sufferer. It has been
calculated by the Department of Ag
riculture that every time the sun sets
the bad roads' of the United States
cost the American farmers $1,500,000.
These are Government figures. How
any public man can refuse to support
legislation that will stop this dreadful
drain passes the understanding of the
average mind. Can the national con
science and the national thought be
unmoved at face with such a condi
tion? Are he people themselves
asleep to their own material salva
tion? How long can this sapping, sap
ping, of farm life and farm vitality
go. on before the American farm home
is destroyed? And how long, pray
tell, can the Republic stand after the
destruction of the American farm
house?
We hope to see the suggested good
roads legislation go through Congress
the coming winter. It will, if the peo
ple get together and demand it. Let
neighborhood and county meetings be
held everywhere and petitions go for
ward to Senators and Representatives.
Write to your Senator for Senate Doc
ument 204. Talk to your neighbor
about it. Urge him to write. Let us
all get busy for good roads. Uptown

Less Expensive Koads.
The town boards of Oneida County,
N. Y., make the following suggestion:
"We would not recommend that every
town in this county have built within
its borders a road costing on the aver
age $7000 a mile, as we believe each
town should govern itself according
to Its own local conditions, but we
have provided figures to show that no
matter whether a town has a high or
a low assessed valuation, it could, un
der the $50,000,000 bond issue, If its
own board so desired, have, without
excessive taxation, just as wide and
just as expensive roads as any other
towns in any other part of the State.
If the county and town can devise
methods by which the roads to be built
should have an average cost of $4000
a mile instead of $8000 a mile, the
charge to the town under the bona is
sue for each mile of highway built
would be $30 for each mile the first
year; and to the county, the increase
In taxes the first'year for each mile of
highway would be $70; and to the
State it would be $100. In other
words, under the $50,000,000 bond is-
8u of the State, county and. town
could obtain a road costing $4000 a
mile at an increase in their annual
tax lew of $200. which under the
present system of payment would call
for the expenditure of 54000 in casn.
or under the bond Issue they could ob
tain a road costing $S000 a mile for an
increase in their tax levies of $400 in
place of raising $8000 in cash, as pro
vided by the present method.
"Under the bond Issue each town ana
roiratv is free to select as expensive a
road or as cheap a road as the local
conditions require." Tribune Farmer.
"Stunts."
There is an ugly and curious Amer
ican, word, which is used to express a
state of affairs for which there is no
short English equivalent. The word is
"stunt;" it implies an overwhelming
desire "to go one better" than anyone
else. Great Britain as a Nation has not
been given to ''iunts." The Engineer.
