$ THE
SONG OF THE
By Biyard Taylor
BAYARD TAYLOR, poet, traveler, editor and diplomat,
was born in Pennsylvania Jan. 11. 1825, and died In Ber
lin on Dec. IS. 1678. Of Bayard Taylor a active life it is
Impossible to give an adequate idea in a brief sketch.
His first poems were published when he was sixteen
He traveled afoot over Europe in 1844-46 and in 1849 was
seeking gold in California. "His life was a series of
long travelings and trips abroad, letters and other con
tributions to the press and innumprnhin ttra .,.
At the time of his death he was United States minister to Germany.
, IVE us a song!" the sol
diers cried.
The outer trenches
guarding.
When the heated guns of
the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay, grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound of the Stalakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. A guardsman
said.
"We storm the forts tomorrow
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of Borrow."
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from
Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled a different name.
But all sang "Annie Laurie."

JIMSI.THE
TRESTLE.
By CECILY ALLEN.
Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated

Jlmsle had learned to vitrb for her
long before she noticed him. The 74)8
wag never bo crowded as the 723, and
Betty Lamed bad no trouble in getting
the same seat every morning, the next
to the last In the third car.
She liked that particular seat because
It gave her a long view of the marshy
creek and the great bay beyond, pour
ing ita restless waters Into the sea.
Jimsie'a post waa on the great trestle
approaching the drawbridge. At first
he had simply watched the trains as
they slowed np before passing over the
draw.
Being a young man of considerable
Imagination, he could picture the long
line of commuters winding to the fer
ries and then breaking on the shores
of the big city beyJ like a Btream
ions confined to narr$ banks. What
a multttade of interests they repre
sented) And to how many of the
treat warehouses', skyscrapers and
stores they must scatter I
Ha felt quite sure that the girl with
the light brown bah- and gentle gray
eyes worked very far uptown, for she
never missed the TOR, while most of
the girl commuters preferred the 723,
which bought them Into town Just in
time to make offices and stores for the
8 o'clock openings.
In this Jlmsle was wrong. Betty
worked quite close to the ferry, but
she was an earnest, ambitious young
person with a horror of being tardy,
so she took no chances on the 723
being late. Drawbridges, sne had
beard, were tricky.
This rumor was confirmed one morn
ing when the excursion steamer Lena
Belle turned contrary In the draw,
and the 7:06 stood on the narrow tres
tle till tie crew of the Lena Belle
could bring her to time. And that was
the morning Betty noticed Jimsie xor
the first time.
Jimsdeinbzht have rum along with the
rest of tbe railroad boys to watch the
eraw of the Lena Belle, but be bad
something mors pleasant to watch the
rlrllah faca at the first window rroto

Tho third ear stood right In front ox

Dear girl, her name he dared not
speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier's cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.

How English love remembers.

Who sang of "Annie Laurie."

age.
But tM workaday world changes
many of these things. Jlmsle began to
plan on meeting the owner of the gray
eyes somehow, somewhere, without the
aid or consent of a chaperon. If yon
lore a girt you love her and you win
her that was Jlmele's lexicon of good
form.
And Betty fell to dreaming of the
good looking young chap who was
watching for her every morning when
the tan approached the bridge. First
their eyes carried the message, then
they smiled, and finally they nodded
every morning.
When the spring weather made It
excusable to open a window Betty
took to gathering a few early blos
soms every morning and dropping

the track foreman's shanty.
Jlmsle was resourceful, but be could'
find no one who knew where tbe girl
lived, and be did not dare desert his
post to come near the window and'
speak even if the train stopped Ions1
enough for this feat
Well, there waa only one thing he'd
take a day off soon and post himself'
at the frtxy entrance when the 7:08
pulled in. fine could do no more than
tarn him down, be argued, and some
how each day's glance Into the soft
gray eyes assured him this fate would
not be his.
In the meantime Betty was doing
ber share of thinking and planning,
and at last she wrote to iliss Gwendo
)n Graves, who conducted the Heart
and Home page of the Evening Blazer.
"When a young man Is so desperately
in love with yon that It Just shines
out of his eyes and beams In his
smile, but you don't know blm or any
one wbo does know him, but Just see
him every day on your way to work,
what do you doT He might toss yon
a note but men every out uu u
train would see it and think yon were
a flirt, and not for worlds would you
toss him a note." And there was a
stamped and addressed envelops, and
please would Hiss GwendoJIn writ
very soon?
And Hiss Gwendoiln aid, tor ine lit
tle letter had the ring of self respect
and sincerity In it But, alas! Ulss
Gwendoiln wrote that the man would
find a way If be really loved ber, as
his eyes proclaimed, and a certain fate
was probably working this very min
ute to bring them together. Above all
things, Betty waa not to worry. Things
would coma out right
Not a very satisfactory or practical
reply. Tet Betty took comfort and
carried tt In her purse all day. If fata
waa really at work she would try to
wait and be patient, bat JImsle's ador
ing eyes made this very hard Indeed.
That night she slept with tbe little
note under her pillow and tbe next
morning tacked It back Intn ber purse.
As the long train pulled on to the tres
tle she took a fresh grip 00 the pone.
It somehow seemed s connecting link
between herself and the man wbo aha
knew would be waiting for ber by the
weather beaten shanty.
Ware erar eyes so brown as his or
teeth so white and regular? Then ber

The clatter of an ambulance tearing
around the bank made Jlmsle Jump,
and he gathered her close to his arms
In the midst of the awful scene of
wreckage and death.
"Say, this ain't the time for being
fuBsy," he murmured earnestly. "I
love you, and I thought I was going to
lose you. I'm coming to the hospital

Betty looked np Into the big brown
eyes, and a fluttering smile crept
around her white lips.
"Yes, dear," she said and closed her

"I'll take care of her," he said sharp

Charles Dickens, who sent to Samuel
Rogers several of his books, who dedi
cated "Master Humphrey's Clock," to
him and who frequently assisted at the
famous breakfasts in St James' place,
was accustomed, rather cruelly, it may
be thought to take off his hosfs very
characteristic way of telling a story,
and It Is, moreover, affirmed by Tercy
Fitzgerald that in the famous read
ings "the strangely obtuse and owl
like expression and the 'slow, husky
croak' of Mr. Justice Starelelgh In the
Trial From Pickwick' were closely
modeled upon the author of the 'Pleas
ures of Memory.' " That Dickens used
thug to amuse his friends is confirmed
by tbe "Confidences" of the late Fred
erick Liocker, wbo perfectly remem
bered the old man, to see whom be had
been carried aa a boy by bis father.
He had also himself beard Dickens re
peat one of Sogers' stock anecdotes (It
was that of the duel In a dark room,
where one of the combatants, humane
ly firing np the chimney, brings down
his adversary), and be speaks of Dick
ens aa imitating Rogers' "calm, low
pitched, drawling voice and dry biting
manner very comically." At tbe same
time It mast be remembered that these
reminiscences relate to Rogers In his
old age. Ha waa over seventy when
Dickens published his first
"Sketches try Bos."
GRANT AND A. T. STEWART.
Nomination of the Merchant For
retary of the Treasury.
It waa not unnatural that in tbe ab
solute absence of political experience
President Grant should not only have
bad much to learn concerning the na
ture and conduct of civil government
but that be should also have had much
to unlearn of tbe mental habits and
tbe ways of thinking be bad acquired
in the exercise of large Indeed, almost
unlimited military command. This
waa strikingly illustrated by soma re
markable incidents.
As usual, the nominations made by
the president for cabinet offices wars
promptly ratified by the senate with
out being referred to any committee.
But after this bad been done' It was
remembered and reported to President
Grant that one of tbe nominees
confirmed, A. T. Stewart of New York.
whom President Grant had selected
for the secretaryship of tbe treasury,
aa a person engaged In commerce waa
disqualified by one of tbe oldest laws
on tbe statata book tn fact the act
of Sept 2, 1780, establishing tbe treas
ury department That this law, which
provided that the treasury department
having the administration of tbe cus
tom booses ander Its control, should
not have at Its head a merchant or Im
porter in active business, was entirely
proper Indeed, a necessary one bad
never been questioned. The next morn
ing, March ft. I had occasion to call
upon President Grant for the purpose
of presenting to him a congratulatory
message from certain citizens oi Bt
Lonla. I found hkn alone engaged In
writing something on a half sheet of
note psper. "Mr. President" said.
1 sea yoa are bosy. and I do not wish
to Interrupt yoa. My business can
wait" "Never mind," be answered.
I am only writing a message to the
senate." . My business was quickly dis
posed of. and I withdrew.
In tbe course of that day's session of
the senate a message from tbe presi
dent waa brought In In which, after
quoting tbe statata of Sept 2. 1789.
tbe president asked that Mr. Stewart
be exempted by Joint resolution of the
two bouses of congress from tbe op
eration of tbe law wbbh stood In Mr.
Stewart's way. There were some algna
of aorurtse among senators wbeo the
message was read, and Mr. fiber man

INDIVIDUAL HOG HOUSES.
A Plan to Save Tims In Feeding and
Watering.
I wonder sometimes bow good bog
raisers can still recommend the old
tt:d hog house, writes a Missouri
'ariiier in tbe Breeder's Gazette, Chi-i-ngo.
Tosslbly they need tt In the
froaen north, where It la winter more,
than summer. I passed through the
hog house stage and went to the open-tbed-to-south
style, but discarded that
tome three years ago. I concluded the
will barrel and Bled were not for me,
as the harnessed horse was a trouble
to pull the feed sled. My lota are
planned to come together In a wedge
thape, with an apex eight feet wide
running back forty rods. Eight feet
admits a wagon and forty rods long
permits the plow and long stretches of
woven wire. Bach Individual bog lot Is
well sodded with a mixture of red and
white clover, timothy, red top, blue
a Tiara bavdki a&txasMmn.
grass, orchard grass and meadow fes
cue and contains 140 square rods.
In this lot Is a bog bouse three feet
high and eight foot square, open on
the south and covered with galvanized
iron. All these lots converge to a
point aa a wheel. Tbe bub la where
tbe steps are saved In feeding and wa
tering. At this bub we have a small feed bin,
and before patting In the feed tbe hub
was graded level for all six pena.
Here we have cement troughs con
nected with a tee to a main pipe the
fu1 1 distance of all pens, so that, each
cement trough In each pen being level,
when one la filled all are the same and
watering can be done in abort order.
The pipe is large, and if mud collects
In these tees or tbe main the plug can
be unscrewed and the system flushed,
cleaning all.
In this bub wa have under tbe stor
age grain bin a trough for sweet milk.
Of course a little corn Is kept here all
the time, and one would be surprised
bow soon the little fellows learn tbe
way m and out Tbey become weaned
sooner, leam to depend upon ineuv
selves and tease tbe now leas than
when in a close house.
It seems to me this Is the most ra
tional way to be successful with hogs
I have ever tried. Tbe Individual bog
bouse la away from noise. The sow's
Instinct tells her to hide, and she must
come np for feed to tbe hob before aha
can have anything except water. This
la generally three days. Then she can
digest and saslmllate what Is given ber
without playing havoc with the Utter,
which must be Urge enough to occu
py the table spread, which Is general
ly ten or twelve.
I do not ears to allow the ose or
these individual hog pastures to sows
younger than two years old, ss tbey
i uncertain, bat If a good sow Is
found Ibe should not be known as a
grass widow on tbe meat marts until
eight or tea years old.
THE DAIRYMAN.
The waya of tbe cow should be
studied. Soma wfll give more milk on
one kind of food than on another.
Soma are oaaUy Injured with concen
trated grain. Others do not Ilka ear-
tain kinds of feed and wDI waste it
Keep the Owe Comfortable.
Tbe cold ratoatorme and the frosty
nights are on oa and oar cows are
happiest In a eomrortsbie stable, to
most careless observer Is sware that
01 osage or negleet baa a decided ef
fect on the milk flow. To com pet the
ss to brave the rainstorms and the
frosty nights wfll mean a shrinkage tn
the milk flow. Soma anasoal condi
tions may causa only a temporary
cnangs, bat Insufficient or poor feed
and andoe exposure will caoaa S per
manent depression In tbe production
that no amount of feed or later atten
tion wIM bring up to tbe aormal.
Uke a Bank.
The sOo has bees likened to s sav
ings bank by some writers. They
claim that tho deposits are made dur
ing the summer season and tho drafts
are honored daring the winter. Corn
that might otherwise be lost Is pot la

abaadanco of excel tent feed which

WHAT COLORS TELL
The Wsy the Spectroscope Reads the
Sun and Stars.
When one tights a common sulphur
match In tbe dark It Is worth while to
notice what happens. First Its phos
phorus gives out faint yellow rays,
and almost at tbe same time tbe sul
phur begins to burn with bluish
beams.
Aa yet tbe flame yields little light
In a moment or two tbe wood of tbe
match takes Are, and then a stream
of clear white light pours forth. Each
of tbe materials of tbe match Ita
phosphorus, sulphur and wood haa
shone In burning with a color of ita
own.
In a street lighted by electricity and
gas tbe eye detects at once the dif
ference between tbe white rays of tbe
one and tbe yellow beams of the other.
If nitrate of strontla Is set on fire we
have a splendid red flame. Filings of

Sir John llcreclicl waa the first to

His suggestion was taken up, and Ita

smooth fellows, of a beautiful color,
but not large. Tbey were bought by
a family whose country borne la near

and fresh tomatoes were about the
nicest and most expensive salad to be

"That waa during tbe first week In
