credited with the following: “There

that is to hammer your name, your
location, your business, so constant'
ly, so presistently—so thoroughly
into the people’s heads that if they
- walked in their sleep, they would
constantly turn their faces towards

A CRUEL DECISION.
“Oh Judge! fudge! I didn’t
think you’d do it!”
It was a wbman’s voice wailing
out her agony in Judge Lumpkin’s
court this morning- Added to her
cries were those of two little girls.
They wept and sobbed, until by the
order ot the judge an officer removed
them from the court room.
It was the conclusion of the long
(ought case of John H. Peeples
against Sallie Snider, involving the
custody of Peeple’s two little girls,
left to Mrs. Snider by their mother
on her death bed.'
Judge Lumpkin handed down a
decision this morning awarding
the children to the father. Then
came the scene.
Mrs. Snider gat in the court room
with the children. The father was
also there, with his second wife.
Mrs. Snider had raised the little
one6, and they clung to her as to
their true mother. Peoples had
demanded the children; Mrs Snider
had refused to give them up, on the
ground that the mother had left
them With her and that their father
was not a proper person to care
for them.
As the judge pronounced the fa
tal words u cry broke from Mrs
Snider—
“Oh Judge! Judge!"
The scene was most pathetic.
She clung to the two children; they
to her. Realizing that this meant
separation from the one they loved,
the children began to mingle their
voices with hers. The court looked
perplexed. Men started up ail over
the room. An officer came forward
and as gently as possible removed
Mrs. Snider to corridor, where she
continued her cries and lamenta
tions, so that the. passers by on the
street came in. The children,
given over to their father, refused
to be comforted, until at last they
were taken away by him, leaving
Mrs. Snider to weap and wail
alone.
This description of a cruel case
in an Atlanta court room will ap>
peal to all people who love little
children,
There is no oue so unfortunate,
and 10 doomed to destruction as a
child who is raised by a stepmother;
though the be one of the best oi
omen.
The action of that Atlanta judge
paved the way for a life of misery
for the little girls.
His assurance that “if they should
prove themselves unworthy ot the
trust und unfit persons to raise them
the strong arm of law can still pro'
tect them and take them from him,”
is worth nothing; for the physical
cruelty that may be detected by
the law is us nothing to the subtle
cruelty and injustice that is given
a child unconsciously by one who
has no mother-love for it.
This it a true description of the
child who is raised in this way:—
‘ But by und by, if you got to
know these children well, you saw
that they were very old, arid that
they had queer, unchildish ways of
hiding their troubles, and when
you noted, as their lips begun to
tremble, that instead of flying to
sheltering arm* and weeping their
little woes out on a woman’s breast
they went off alone, you knew the
whole story of discipline and
preuion and tyranqy that worked
itself out upon these hopeless and
helpless little ones.
Many a boy escapes from such
i,ome to the freedom of the street
and the society of wild companions
many a girl literally jumps from tbe
frying pan into the fire by marrying
the first man who asks her, whether
she loves him or not, or he i> suit
able or not, just tu get away from
her stepmother. Many a man and
woman, looking back upon their
sliaved childhood, withont love,
without sympathy, without com
prehension, knows it warped their
nature and robbed them of that
which life can never restore.”
Such things! as these, the law
connot reach. The only way the
law might have helped in this case
was to,have given the children to
the sister of their dead mother,
who loved them a* her own. The
stern justice of the courts should
sometime be teiqpered with mercy.
