THE OLD TUNE.
I'm mighty weak at slngln' and thart's
nothln' 1 csn play.
And, If I've an tar fer inualc, It's a dsef on
anyway.
I'd know "Old Hundred" from Jlf. I
reckon, but I cutis
Tha tunes that I could nama ain't more'n
a dosen, maybe lesa.
Dut there Is one anions; 'em that'll make my
pulses chime.
Toil start up "Yankee Doodle" and I'm
with yer every lime.
There's somethln' In Its snappy dash that
seems ter be a part
Of what there Is a-beattn' In a Tankea fel-
ler'a heart.
There's somethln' In Its life and go that
thrills yer through and through
And seems tor fit the colors of tha old
"Red, White and Dlus,"
Until yer wsnt ter tell the Bag a-wsvln'
there sublime:
"I've harked to 'Yankee Doodle' and I'm
with yer every time."
It's whst they played at Torktown when
Cornwallla met his check,
It's whst they suns; In triumph on tha
"Constitution's" derk.
It timed the feet a-marchln' from Atlanta
to the 8 a,
And runs; at Appomattox 'round tha famous
apple-tree;
And when a soldier heard It, In tha battle's
smoky crime.
Ills sword beat "Yankee Doodle" on the
foeman every time.
And now they ssy they need us ones ag'ln
to take a stand
And make a llvln' breastwork 'round tha
shores of Ysnkeeland,
To drive the "children's butcher" from the
Island In the sea
And sponge the bloody blotches off tht
skirts of liberty;
And, If the country wants my help to make
the Hpsnlard climb,
Jest play old "Yankee Doodle" and shs'lt
git It every time.

LETTERS.
By WILLIAM BUCKLEY.
WE bad been three months mar
ried, and lived Id tht blessed ex
pectancy of a secretaryship which I
hail been promised on a commission ap
pointed to inquire into some ubuses
government did not want to And out;
but the preliminaries dragged, and I
found myself doomed to a period of en
forced Idleness which did not Improve
my temper, and I fear tried my wife's
sorely, for though happy we were hu
man. Our first and, thank Heaven, our
only tiff took place one memorable day
when we were both gardening on aplot
of soot-blackened ground attached to
our modest dwelling. In making a bor
der I had planted a number of carna
tions and picoteea together, contrary to
my wife's directions, and on discovering
the mistake she said what I suppose
nine out of ten Women would have said.
I answered tartly, being preoccupied
with bitter thought, and so acrimoni
ous did our discussion become that
Edith went Into the house.
After some minutes' reflection I felt
the childishness of my conduct, and
followed to moke it up. She was not in
the little attic-like boudoir at the top
of our mansion, so I descended to search
for her In the drawing-room, which had
tloora opening on the conservatory and
hall, lly chance I chose the first, and
had almost snterrd the room when I
heard the sound of a well-remembered
voice, and drawing the portiere aside
cautiously saw my wife face to face
with Arbusculat
"I daresay you know who I am?" the
latter was saying.
Edith denied the Implied honor.
"Then Is your state the more gra
cious," retorted Arbuscula. "Ilutyour
husband does, and that Is the chief
point. The servant told me he was at
home." She looked Just ss splendid as
ever, and swept our modest little apart
ment with a scornful glance.
"My husband is engaged," said Edith.
"A .ylhing you have to say may be said
lo mr."
"Indeed?" replied Arbuscula. "Well,
I have got a good many things to say."
My wife folded her hands, and, find
ing one of her gardening gloves on,
pulled it olT and threw It on the table,
"liuurd!" thought I.
"And first," continued Arbuscula, "I
want to say that your husband is the
writer of those letters." And she de
posited a formidable bundle on the
tiible, beside the glove. "They were
written to me you may read them if
you choose."
"I have no desire to do so," replied
my wife, valiantly.
"They would interest you," the
other went on. "You could compare
them with those he has, I daresay, writ
ten to yourself."
"I fear you mlsundrrstand, though
the error la a natural one for you,"
replied ' " wife considerately.
A spot of light shone in Arbuncuiu's
eye. "They would be useful," she con
tinued, "if you wanted to make things
hot for him as you undoubtedly will."
My wife was silent; she plnyed with
her wedding-ring.
"Or, perhaps you would care to see
them in the public press," the other
added, viciously. "1 know a literary
chap Klin would dress 'eru lip well;
they'd want a little draping, for a pa
per 1 know of."
"I conclude, then, that the lawyers
have marked 'no case? " observed
Edith, and Arbuscula glanced curiously
at her.
"I do not take my wrongs to a law
court!" she said, magnificently.
"In that you show your wisdom," re
plied my wife. Arbuscula looked at
her again, with snmethiug approach
ing respect, but there was a upatkle be
neuth the r .'IU!.
"Come, what will you give to prevent
it?" she ukril.
"Nothing," responded Edith, quietly.
"He would be of a different opinion!"
olsserved Arbuscula.
"Hardly," said my wife; "he Is not a
fool."
"You are the first woman w!o ever
that of him." retorti c! V.ust ula.

reddened slightly. "Under the guard!"
thought I.
"All women are the same to him," con
tinued Arbuscula, recovering herself.
"What is the difference between, you
and mr? A wedding ring."
"And n!l it symbolizes," rejoined my
wife, softly.
"That's a house on a fifth-rate terrace,
with only one stop-cock for eight of ye,
and the lady next door cuts off the wa
ter when slie has had a few words with
you over the hedge I know it!"
aneered Ibe other.
"O, it symbolizes more," said Edith,
but her tone was weaker; the thrust
bad gone borne, for the study of hy
drostatics had been forced upon us of
late.
"And what is that, pray ?" demanded
Arbuscula, insolently.
"To explain would be to insult your
intelligence and yourself," replied
Edith. "Heat in carte, lunge in tierce!"
thought I.
"(), I'm not thin-skinned!" laughed
Arbuscula.
"I made allowances," rejoined my
wife.
Arbuscula'a Hps became a thin line
of scarlet. Then they parted, and she
smiled. 1 knew that she had always
possessed a most unfeminine sense of
humor, but I was not prepared for its
assertion at this supreme moment.
The two women stood looking at each
other across tha table. Arbuscula'a
dazzling smile lighting her face, my
wife's pale, yet never so beautiful I
thought, though now, enlightened by
the contrast, 1 noted lines of anxiety
which had been creeping there during
the past months, and violet shadow
under the sweet eyes. The other gath
ered up the letters and begun to
shuffle them aa one would a pack of
cards.
"You are dying to read them!" she
said.
My wife's voice said "No;" her face
was not so explicit,
"Here's one it's poetry," continued
Arbuscula. "It was written for a stays
I Invented, the Arliusriila busk you
might have heard of it?"
"No, it must have been before my
time," said Edith, innocently.
"Possibly you came rather lute in the
day," retorted the other.
"Hut came to atay!" answered my
wife.
Arbuscula laughed. Edilb put her
hand upon the bell.
"You, surely, will not compel me?"
she said. "I have been very patient."
"You'll want all the patience you have
In the good time coming," rejoined the
other.
"And you, what will your future be
without patience?" asked Edith.
"My future can take care of itself,"
cried Arbuscula, laughing a laugh,
short aa the snap of a breaking sword
blade. "I'm a woman with a past, the
sort morality humbugs chatter nbout;
but If I had a future, like you, by C ,
I d try to get something better than the
butt end of a rouel" "Cslng the hilt."
thought I.
My wife laughed gayly now. "You
know the old adage," she said, "the best
husband Is a reformed rake. Men's fol
lies often serve aa beacons to guide
them pnst the other shoals and shal
lows of life. Experience enables them
to appreciate things it is a good light
for a man."
'And a useless one for a woman," an
swered Arbuscula, with a sudden
change of tone; "It's like the poop-light
which shows the foam upon the reef
that has just torn the poor ship's side
out much good, when the masts are
going by the board!"
She gathered the letters together:
whatever had been her purpose In com
ing, 1 could see her grasp upon It was
gone. ( niching nt that moment the re
flection of my own face In a mirror op
posite, I wns so ill pleased by the sight
that I stole downstairs, hearing an
other hacking laugh and the tinkle of a
bell as I went.
I returned to the garden nnd com

Presently Edith enme nut also, with
an armful of plants she began to sort.

I went over to her. "I got those

"Hut the line wns not straight," I
answered, averting my eyes.

I the gift of invention a product of
tb soil? A strangr qurslion, prrhapa,
but not so foolish as it sounus when
read in the light of recently tabulated
patent statistics. These figures show
that an overwhelming percentage of
the inventive genius of America in
deed of the world is to ba found with
in the confines of the state of Con-j
necticut, and, what is more remark
able, that much of that percentage is
restricted to the city limits of 'ew
Rritain, says the Chicago Itecord-Jler-aid.
Since the United States patent law
wers enacted 1,447 inventions have
been patented by 344 New Hritainers.
Within a ten-year period one patent'
was granted each year f r every 37 ,
Inhabitants of the town, nearly tlirea
times aa many as the general avernga
for all the rest of the slate. Why ia
this so?
The office of the New Dritain patent
lawyer are an interesting spectacle j
almost any day of the week. Here one
find many geniuses, queer and other
wise. There is the woman genius with the
combination automatic crib and rock
ing chair. It Is a brilliant idea, and
nuirht to sell like hot cakes at. three
dollars each. No family ran possibly
' get along without one of them, and the I
woman see a fortune in her grasp. j
8he la but a specimen of hundreds of
others. I
Heading the long list of successful
New Ilritain inventors is the name of
Justus A. Trout, with a record of lit
patent. Mr. Trout has made a great
fortune out of his inventions, all sp
parently insignificant trifles. It is the
manufueture of these very trifle, how
ever, which constitutes the finnnciHl
and commercial strength .f Connec
ticut. Indeed, Connecticut inventions
have been restricted almost exclusive
fy to mere trifles.
George K. Adams comes next in the
list with fi pntents. It Is scarcely pos
sible for the modern man or woman
of any station in life to attempt to
dress without recourse to some one or
other of Mr. Adams' inventions. Sus
pender buckles, hote supporters gar
ter fasteners, corset steels, hooks and
eyes, glove clasps, shirt studs, collar
buttons he has Invented galore.
Thomas K. Corscaden comes third,
with 31 devices, among them, in all
probability, the handles of the coffin
in which you will be buried, and similar
grewsome though necessary mechan
isms. Henry 0. Voight. with 44, occupies
the fourth place. Mr. Voight has de
voted his Yankee ingenuity entirely to
the protection of life and property.
He is a man of padlocks and door
knobs and latch keys and window
fasteners.
Fortunately for th state, however,
all the inventive genius of Connecticut
Is not confined to New Itrilnin. llnrt
ford. New Haven, Ansonia, Wal erhury,
Bridgeport and Meriden are likewise
hotbeds for the propagation of Yankee
Ingenuity.
A typiral example of the Connecti
cut inventor and his Ingenious fertil
ity is found in the rase of "Chris"
Downey, of Waterbury. Mr. Downey,
who is not yet 40 yesrs old, is the pro
prietor and manufacturer of in pat
ents, all of his ow n invention. He like
wise is a prolific newspaper corre
spondent, sending out Wnterbury new
to a string of no less than 23 daily
newspapers. In addition to all this, he
is now engaged upon Uie writing of a
comic song.
It seems Strang that among the al
most innumerable line of inventions
of which Connecticut, and particularly
New Britain, boasts there are only a
few isolated cases of patents being
granted to women. In the list of New
Itritaln patentees there are only four
women. Sarah Jane Wheeler patent
ed a currycomb in 1 1 ft I . Elizabeth
Minier took out a patent for a fruit
Jar cover fastener in 1M0. Alice M.
Hobson patented a steam cooker in
1BUI. and Frances K. Maisonbillr
"meat tenderer" in 1B97.
All the other devices contrived by
Connecticut women have proved either
defective or absurd when attempts
were made to patent the rights to their
manufacture. Why this should be so
raises another question, quite as un
answerable as thnt asked in the begin
ning of this article.

the ereat railroad tunnel
through Mount Sherman, Wyo., haa
been completed and trains now rua
under instead of over the giant
steep, there has passed forever what
has been for 35 yeara one of the
most peculiar railroad stations ia
the world, reriorta th Chicago
American. I
Mount Sherman station stood on
the very tip of a mountain 9,000
feet high, in possibly a deaolate a
spot as human eye haa ever gated
upon. I
Nowhere ia there ever visible any
vegetation beyond a few aeraggy
tufts of alkali wire grass. I
Even this enn hardly exist in that
region, where one may encounter al
most any day in the summer rnin,
sleet, snow and hail, with a temper
attire that often varies, from 7. de
grees to 40 and back again within
a few moment; where the wind
never ceasea to blow from 75 to 70
miles an hour, nnd where the nervea
of many a tenderfoot have received
terrible shocks during the pushing
of storms, with the clouds touching
the ground and here and there hurl
ing angry lightning bolt into the
mineral rock.
Now the map no longer has a)
Mount Sherman station. Nothing in
the way of habitation remains to de
note the past existence of man on
that divy height, nnd it is very
probable thnt the wierd, rock-clad
spot will never agnin be visited.

etted against the sky a massive pyra
mid shned pile of chiseled granite)
65 feet high, erected three years ago
in honor of the Ames brothers, who
made it possible to complete the
Union l'aciflc railroad.
A feeling of sentimentalism will
doubtless now and then creep into
the minds of those who have often
passed this monument, aa the
thought that it now stands so far
out of the path of commerce, so far
from the haunts of men, deserted,
to remain there almost aa long a
time shall endure.
Several years ago two tramp tele
graph operator devised a schema
for making a few dollar without
much effort.
They erected a email shanty at
Sherman, gathered pieces of rock of
different formations, colored some
of them with djes. and over other
poured melted lend in spots and pound
ed iman bits of coper into therracks.
These, w hen finished, were "specimen
of gold and silver ores," and found a
ready market.
All trains stopped just in front of the
shanty where the two genuisra held
forth to hnv the air brnkes tested and
the wheels viamined prior to th de
scent of the mountain.
During these stops passenger were
wont to run over to the shanty to make
purchases of curio.
If there was ever a time when th
wind did not blow a gale at Sherman
it wns a period previous to the advent
of man up there, and it was to his ever
lusting wind thnt oddly blew good to
the trnmpshopkerpers.
One morning, when the overland
flyer drew up at the old red deot. an
aproned mnii stood in the door of the
shanty on the opposite side of the
trnck beating a gong with a vigor
which soon attracted the attention of
the pnssengers.
Heads popped out of the window,
and in a moment people enme tumbling
out of the cars aud made u grand rush
for the supposed luncheon coiinier.
The wind wns whistling a merry
tune over the summit, am! in a very few
seconds hnts were rolling among the
rocks and down into the gl u of the
ranyon. tVf course, the recovery of the
headgear was impossible.
When a lot of passengers had been
"uprooted" It was the signal for the
man with the gong todisappear. and in
his stentl came another with a string
of chenp lints and caps, which were
easily disposed of to the unfortunates
at fabulous prices.
