There is a most pitiable case of desti- tution within the confines of our town which appeals to the sympathies of all true sons and daughters of aged moth- ers as well as to all common humanity possessed of hearts not of flint, but of warm blood, capable of quickening. This case is of an old woman, 80 years of age, who has a son “comfortably fixed” as far as this world’s goods are concerned, and who has been cast out from this home on the pitiless world to take care of herself. . The son owns considerable property in East Norwalk and lives with his wife in that place in a large and com- modious house. The shame of the un- natural feeling which he displays toward the woman who bore’him and nursed and cared for him in his child- . hood days, and loved him in his man- hood, with all his faults, as only a. mother can, is only exceeded by the ignemi‘my Of the penurious provision-he has made for her subsistence. Human. -ity,blushes for him. "This “man”. who enjoys hls Com- fortable home, tried to have his mother consigned to the poor house to 'be sup- portedsfny the town and upon being re- iused such support, he placed her in a house.- On Long Island, which: he Was, and rents to a family who have allowed him a room for his poor old mother. In this room she lives with the handsome'allowance of $1 per week Mr sustenance. The poor woman prays that she may diet? 91d, helpless and among strangers is sEéd-‘Isfiluis a cruel world to live in. There is ' something wrong in the composition of a man who can thus treat his mother; living in luxury himself while she is fighting with poverty. In the first place he lacks natural in- stincts, and in the second place he acts under the influence of some other per- son», and this persOn of a selfish and contemptible calibre. Truly, the aged woman may cry as did David: "O my son Absalom! my son, mygsou Absalom!” 3 No doubt there are other cases Sim» ilar to this, but this comes to my notice, being witiin the environments of our town.

Love may not be blind,- but it seldom aces its finish. ‘ Dewey is indeed a' hero; his face now isishown on satin used to make corsets. By the time some women make up their minds what to do: it is too late to 4 do it. Some particularly pretty corn forks are shown as seasonable trifles at the silversmiths. No woman realizes that she is not the 1d_eal of grace, either riding a wheel .or driving a horse“ _There is nothing more awkward thlih a bachelor holding a baby unless it is a woman th1ow1ng a stone. The soldier laddie goes away to face the powdei, while his sweetheart stays at home to powdei her face. There isn’t much satisfaction about having your name in print when it oc- curs. in your own obituary. Boys flying kites haul' 1n their white- winged birds, but you can’t do that, way when .you are flying words. If the worldwere made up of Marys only, with no Marthas to Wash and cook, poetryrleuld soon cease to appear attractive. Men may declare that they are not vain, but they more frequently use their photos on their business adver- tisements than do women. To realize how absolutely ignorant ' I from Bridge. have a count1 y 1elative Of an inquii ing mind come to visit y.ou The woman ‘whose moods are so numerous that you can never tell in which one you will find her is the 501 t to attiact and keep a man’s admi1a- tio11. . , The woman who has once been called up on the telephone can never again hea1 the- tinle of the bell with- out thinking it is meant as a message for her. There is nothing that makes a wom- an happier than to have her realize that “there are others,” to care for her, even though one has decided negatively on that question. . To loaf in a. hammock is absolutely delightful, but when that loafing is done after sunset, there is danger of malaria in the cool breeze and seduc- 'tive idleness of that hour. Athletics are said to be responsible for woman’s new figure. We are glad there is something on which to put the blame, as many contorted physiques make one long to rise in protest against them. And now many a good woman is positively stewing herself to death in her endeavor to save a penny a can on peaches and other. fruit that‘she thinks she is doing up, but which in reality is doing her up. ‘VA‘ —Everyhody Talks of the Klondike. With the approach of Spring and the opening days of navigation and trans- p01 tation in Alaska, the interest in the wonderful gold mines of the Klondike is increasing. Those of 0111 readers who contemplate the long journey, should put themselves into communica- tion promptly with The Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and Development Com- pany of Yukon. This Company, which has been organized by some of the most prominent financiers of New York. runs its line of steamers to Dawson City via St. Michaels. It actually owns some of the most valuable placer and quartz mines in the Klondike. The attention of our readers is called to a tatement of the Company printed in his issue.
