WHEN B78Y CAME,
When baby came, she brought with her
A lot of freight the angela carried;
New Joys within our breasts to stir.
New blessedness that long has tarried.
Her father felt his arm grow strong.
Another life on his depending;
Her mother's heart was full of song.
From dawn until the daylight's ending.
When baby came, the purse was lean.
And small the home, the roof but lowly.
But wealth was brought by hands unseen.
And all the place grew bright and holy,
A wealth of lore, of truth, of hope.
Those tiny fingers clasped, possessing
A secret, heaTen had deigned to ope
And pour on us in rains of blessing.
When baby came, we proudly walked;
Our house was fairer than a palace.
And inly, as we thought and talked.
We slipped life's cup, a honeyed chal
ice. We had no fear, we had no grief.
The millionaire was poor beside us;
So glad were we. beyond belief.
At this great gift that did betide us.
Everywhere.

CHANGING HIS NAME. ?

EBQRA.H HAN"COCK was bus
ily engaged in decorating her
birthday cake. She sighed as
pbe placed the last candle, one more
than the previous year. How fast these
little waxen milestones seemed to mul
tiply! Several years before, when the whole
surface of the cake was so thickly stud
ded that she could find no place for the
new taper, Miss Hancock paused to
ponder.
Was not 35 a good age at which to
lose count?
The temptation was great But all
false pretense was abhorrent to the
sturdy Hancock nature. Prevarication
ieven to one's self was not to be toler
ated. And what folly could equal in
silliness that of attempting to conceal
one's age?
The tapers were red, white and blue.
The republic and Miss Deborah cele
brated the anniversary of their birth
upon the same day.
A light tap sounded at the door. De
borah carefully locked her pantry door
before admitting her visitor.

go over to the picnic with us to-mor-
10W."
"Me go to the picnic! Why, Ellen
Ann, I ain't been to a picnic for twen
ty years! Thank your ma, but "
"Oh, do come, Miss Deb. You know,
we're going to celebrate the incorpora
tion of Hilton, as well as the Fourth."
"Come in and think it over."
With a blush aud giggle the girl cast a
backward glance over her shoulder. "I
can't come in to-night. But you be
ready and we'll stop for you in the
morning."
Miss Deborah followed the girl's
glance and smiled as she causjht sight
of a dark figure lurking in the shadow
of the lilacs by the fence.
"Oh, it's Joel," she said.
Ellen Ann giggled.
Perhaps It was the remembrance of
her own' unfinished rouiauce which
made her heart particularly tender to
ward all lovers. Be that as it may, she
was the village confidante. Many awk
ward youths and shy maids blessed her
for the kindly way in which 6he sped
their wooing.
The next morning when Ellen Ann's
brother with a flourish brought his hay
wagou to a stand before Miss Debor
ah's door, he found her waiting, lunch
basket beside her.
The exercises were opened by a long
and fervent prayer by Parson Elihu
Griflin. Then the schoolmaster, a spare,
stoop-shouldered young man, with a pe
culiar Intonation which made the thin
ness of his voice painfully apparent,
delivered the "Declaration of Independ
ence." Then the whole assemblage awoke
the echoes with "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee," and the people cheered again.
Then Squire Cooper, who had been re
cently elected to office, rose and made
some remarks, but detecting signs of
restlessness among the younger people.
he brought his remarks down to the
pith of his address.
"Fellow Townspeople: I have a sur
prise to store for you. Hearing that this
day was to be of especial Interest to the
inhabitants of his birthplace, one of our
ons who has made a name for himself
In the political world, yet has still re
tained in his heart a warm regard for
his old home, has come down to Join in
our festivities, and has consented to
make a few remarks. Friends, I ask
you to Join me In welcoming Hon. John
Smith."
Thecheering mercifully drowned Miss
Deborah's painful little gasps of con
sternation. No one noted her pale face,
All eves were upon their illustrious
townsman.
Hon. John Smith did not detain his
hearers long. He referred to the fact
that they were all more eager to attend
to the contents of their well-filled
hampers than to anything he might
have to say. He :ilso said that he was
anxious to leave the platform and
come down among them and seek out
and shake hands with the old friends.
Deborah felt that she must go away
by herself and recover her lost equ.m
iniity. Seizing upon two palls, she
insisted upon going to the spring for
water. She started off briskly, but be

MONUMENT TO THE
Vi'
tyHWaBsBHHHHsHUMHl
COL. DRAKE, HIS MONUMENT AND HIS FIRST OIL WELL.
At Titusville, Pa., a $50,000 monument, in memory of CoL Edwin M. Drake,
thediseoverer of petroleum, has been unveiled. The profound mystery which has
surrounded the building of the monument in honor of one whose name was la
danger of being forgotten adds to the interest attaching to the ceremony. It has
been the whim of the giver to conceal his identity until after hia own death and
his secret has been well kept, but public opinion has centered upon Henry H.
Rogers of the Standard Oil Co. as the probable donor.
The monument is an imposing and beautiful structure of granite. Work on
the structure began in the summer of 1889, and has continued ever since. A
massive bronze allegorical figure of an oil driller forms the central piece of the
monument.
Col. Drake died in Bethlehem, Pa., in November, 1880, and was buried In the
cemetery at that place, where a modest headstone marks his resting place. It
is probable now, however, that his remains will be removed to Titusville and
reinterred under the shadow of the monument which commemorates his services
to the world.
cast aside the pails and sat down to
give her thoughts full sway.
Miss Deborah smiled as she contem
plated the mental pictures of her y.outh
ful self. Thore she stood in her girl
ish pride, her head saucily atilt. and
a misclfievous light in her eyes. But
the smile was quickly followed by a
sigh, as ever faithful memory drew
the outline of a tall, awkward country
boy, who stood beside the maid.
Ah, now, the girl's lips parted, and,
bending her head, Miss Deborah hears
the sound of a light laugh. At the sound
the youth frowns, then speaks.
"Dan Quincy is a common feller, and
the girl I've kept steady company with
sha'n't dance with him."
Again the girl laughs, and then in
mocking tone replies:
"A common feller, is he? Well, hia
name ain't as common as some I know
of, John Smith."
"If yer ashamed of my name now,
what'll ye be when it's, yer own?"
"Who says I'll ever bear any such
common name as John Smith? If I
was you I'd ask the legislature to help
me to a finer name."
"Do you mean that, Deb?"
"Yes, I do."
Thus Deborah declared her independ
ence. She supposed John would come
around that evening and "make up," as
he had done so often before, but no, he
had gone away from Hilton without a
word.
At this point her reverie was broken
in upon by the voice Deborah had list
ened to so long.
'Why, Miss Hancock, what are you
doing here all alone?"
"I was going for water," Deborah fal
tered, pointing to the forgotten pails.
"Down to the old spring? I'll go and
help you. 1 haven't forgotten the way.
I believe I remember every incident of
my life here. Do you remember the pic
nic Just before I went away?"
Deborah nodded.
"Do you know I've often thought of
that day. You see, I took your advice
and went to the legislature. It took
time, but I finally reached there. But I
decided that if I could obtain a handle
to my name It would answer Just as
well as if I changed It."
"I'm afraid I was rude," Deborah
stammered.
"It was the best rudeness I ever en
countered. It made me leave here, oth
erwise I suppose 1 should have lived
right along in the groove made by my
ancestors. I have always been grateful
for your scorn. It hurt dreadfully at
first, but I came to see the other side
of the question."
John talked of this and that, but sud
denly he seemed to become aware of
his companion's silence. He glanced at
her and In a whimsical tone said:
"Deborah, doesn't the honorable mod
ify the Smith a little?"
"What does a name matter, anyway?"
Deborah asked. Impatiently; "but here
we are at the spring."
"If the name doesn't matter. Deb. per
haps you'll not scorn to share it with
me now. Will you, dear?" and the
Congressman bent down low to look
under Dboral' hat.
"John, there's Ellea Aim staring at

Ing the principal roles in Shakspeare
he appeared in a number of pieces
which had been especially written for

$80,000.
In 1840 he left the stage and studied
law In the office of Gov. William K.
Marcy and was admitted to thebar In
1843. The following year he went to
Europe to perfect his musical education
and, returning to the States, gave con

called for her appearance 150 nights at
$1,000 a night After she had given
seventy-five concerts she canceled her
contract, forfeiting to Mr. Barnum.
Then she toured independently, Mr.
Burke acting as her private secretary

Tho Nervous New Yorker.
One of the most marked outward
manifestations that the New Yorker
gives of the high nervous tension under
which he lives is his habit of talkiug
aloud to himself in the street. This
habit is one of the first things that ob
servers of street life in New York no
tice. It Is a form of nervousness that is
due not only to the high pressure at
which so many New Yorkers are kept,
but to the noise of the street trafBc.
When the rush and rumble of the
streets is so great that a man "cannot
hear himself think," he speaks his
thoughts aloud. It Is only rarely that
a woman is observed doing this. Some
times the man who is talking to him
self, If he is happy, will mumble only
phrases and half sentences audibly. If
he is angry or deeply concerned he will
speak steadily and sometimes make
emphatic gestures. But nearly all of
the men who talk aloud in the streets
have their business affairs uppermosw
in their minds, and the word "dollars"
Is the one that is of tenest heard. Down
town, in the financial section, this habit
of a large number of New Yorkers is
particularly noticeable, but one may
observe it in almost any part of the
town. Parts Is possibly the only other
one of the great cities of the world
where the habit is so noticeable as it
is here. Actors and writers and the
many minor poets of the French capital
may be seen declaiming their lines or
verses, unheeding their observers.

JERUSALEM'S WATERWORKS.
87a tern that Takes Place of th Work
. of Kins Solomon.
The inauguration of the first water
works ever built in Jerusalem since
those of Solomon were destroyed by the
Moslem conquerors took place recently.
For about twelve centuries the city
has been dependent on rain water
gathered in open cisterns, and this sup
ply, in addition to lis insufficiency. In
volving an annual water famine in the
dry season, engendered fevers and oth
er epidemics caused by the filthy con
diiton of the cisterns.
Spring water carried by rail was sold
in Jerusalem at about 54 piastres for
1,500 pints. The exceptional severity
cf the. famine of last spring and sum
mer caused the first water works to be
undertaken. Operations were begun in
July, and have been pushed forward
with " such unwonted energy that an
aqueduct six kilometers long, with
eleven kilometers more of iron piping,
had been completed for the inaugural
ceremony. The three springs southwest
of Bethlehem, about three hours' jour
ney from the city, which fed Solo
mon's aqueduct and yielded a consid
erable supply before the mountains
were denuded of their forests, now
yield only about eight pints a second
in the dry season.
Thanks to the new works, about
eoo.000 pints of pure spring water are
carried daily to the upper city. The
lower parts are not yet so favorably
circumstanced. The new supply is
free and is provided by fountains, some
situated in the Mosque of Omar and
others outside the city. There was a
brilliant inaugural ceremony, the vail
setting the first Jet to work, and a
large company, after drinking the wa
ter, offered prayers that the sultan
might be long preserved. Pall Mall

A Serious Delect,
Paderewski Joseffy Fortissimo Lee
Was the greatest pianist you ever did see;
He rendered fantasias, gavottes and can
tatas. Cadenzas and overtures, fugues and sona
tas. He could play like the sweep of a rush
ing cyclone,
Or as softly and low as the south wind's
faint moan.
He knew ail the works of Beethoven and
Liszt.
Of Wagner and Chopin not one had he
missed.
He gained honors and laurels wherever
he went.
And he knew he deserved them, so he
was content.
But his pride had a fall, for one summer
day
A dear little girl came to hear this man
play;
And she said, as he turned politely to
. greet her.
"Please, sir, can you play 'Peter, Peter,
Pumpkin Eater'?"
He was deeply chagrined, and he felt
very blue.
But he meekly replied, "No, I can't dear.
Can you?"
"Oh, yes," she responded. She flew to
the keys.
With her two fat forefingers she played
it with ease.
And she afterward said, "I would rather
be me
Than Paderewski Joseffy Fortissimo
Lee."

Fearless Bishop Whipple.
Henry Benjamin Whipple, the late
Bishop of Minnesota, will be known as
the friend of American Indians, second
only to John Eliot He was a stout
champion of the rights of the red men,
and never flinched in his purpose to
reform the abuses of the agents.
"Not long after the Cheyenne and
Chlvlngton massacres." says Prof. W.
W. Folwell. in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews. "In which white
men had shown Indians their superior
ity In the art of murder, the bishop
prepared a report on 'The Moral and
Temporal Condition of the Indian
Tribes on Our Western Borders.' In it
he exposed the folly of our traditional
Indian policy, portrayed the infamous
behavior of agents and traders, and
the connivance of men of fair names
with their rascality.
"On his journey to New York the
bishop read from this to gentlemen,
who counseled him to suppress this ar
raignment of distinguished persons,
suggesting that it might result in per
sonal Injury. Instantly came the reply:
" 'These things are true. The nation
needs to know them; and, so help me
God, I will tell them if I am shot the
next minute!"

MILITARY CAREER OF JACKSON.
Treatsd Hli Men with Harahneas. tint
They Worshipped Him
Of all the careers in our army there
is no parallel to that of Jackson. He
treated his militia with the utmost
harshness, but they worshipped him
and rendered such service for him as
no other general ever got out of them,
says Gen. Francis V. Greene In Scrlb
ner's. He was the terror of his superiors In
Washington, his only idea of discipline
being the enforcement of his own will
against those above him as well as
those under him; but he had such a
hold on the people by reason of his
strength of character, his integrity,
and his great deeds, that no one dared
to call hi-n to account for any of his
acts.
His fighting was always against In
dians, except in his one brief cam
paign at New Orleans; the theater of
his campaign was a six-mile plot,
where there was no opportunity for
strategy or grand tactics, or the exer
cise of any of the qualities of general
ship except one; he selected aud forti
fied a position about 1,000 yards long,
with one' flank on the river and the
other on a swamp, and the enemy
dashed himself to pieces against it.
But his enemy was the best regular
troops in Europe, who had defeated
the plans of Napoleon In Spain. Jack
son crushed them, and this one fact
blots out all his mistakes and leaves
him unperishable fame as a great sol
dier. The war with Mexico, whether Just
or unjust from a political standpoint.
Is one of the most brilliant pages in tha
history of the army. While a large
number of volunteers were called out II
was fought In the main by the regular
army, and with scarcely a reverse from
start to finish. The commanding gen
erals were still young enough for ac
tive service, but they had all had mili
tary experience in the war of 1812 and
the Indian campaigns; and the regi
ments were filled in the lower grades
with intelligent, ambitious and well
educated cadets from West Point, of
whom over 1,100 had been graduated
between 1817, when Thayer became
superintendent, and 1845.
