I 'Tia a nitiful sound to hear ! It seems to chill vou through and j through ' - With a strange and speechless fear. : It's the voice of the night that broods outside ' When folk should be asleep, And many and many's the time I've cried To the darkness that brooded far and ! wide. Over the land and deep: ' "Whom do vou want. O. lonely night. i That vou wall the long hours through?" ' And the night would say in its ghostly wav: i "YOOOOOOOO ! Yoooooooo ! Yoooooooo !' My mother told me long ago (When I wa3 a little lad) That when the night went wailing so. Somebody had been bad; And then, when I was snug in bed Whither I had been sent, With the blankets drawn up around my head, i I'd think of what my mother'd said And wonder what bov she meant . 1 And "Who's been bad to-day ?" I'd ask Of the wind that hoarselv blew. And that voice would say in its awful wav; "Yoooooooo! Yoooooooo ! - : Yoooooooo !" That this was true I must allow You'll not believe it, though ! Yes, though I'm quite a model now, I was not always so. And if you doubt what things I say. Suppose you make the test; Suppose, when you've been bad some day And up to bed are sent away , " From mother and the rest Suppose you ask "Who has been bad ?' And then you'll hear what's true; .

THE DECEMBER REPORT Of the Department of Agriculture Average Plantation Price of Cotton. - By Telegraph to the Morning Star; Washington, Dec. 9. The statisti cal returns of the Department of Agri culture for the month of December are principally devoted to the indication of the averrge of the prices of the various products of the farm at the points of production, or in the nearest markets. The average plantation price of cotton as shown by tne Department reports was on December 1st 6.99c per pound, as against 8.4c per pound on the . same date last year, showing a decline of one and torty-one hundredths ot a cent. Not withstanding the unfavorable indica tions as to yield, as reported for the current year, this price is one and two tenths cents lower than the average plantation prices tor tne seven preced ing years, during which the range was from 8.6c to 7.3c, averaging 8.2c. The report shows that picking has been successful, owing to the very favorable weather. A HORRIBLE CRIME.- A Young White Girl Murdered Negro. By Telegraph to th Morning Star.

ONE MODEL HUSBAND. A MAN WHO GIVES HIS WAGES TO HIS - WIFE EVERY WEEK. ( A Chat With the Wire or ar. vwpw Brooklyn, Who la Good Workman and Earn 16 Week Fifteen of the) Dol lara Go to Mrs. Cooper. ) .-.-, "There are good women who are good be- at. a f mw cause they cannot neip in. aim mo good women who lose their temper because they cannot help it I am one of the lat ter," said Mrs. Cooper as Bhe dusted off a chair with her apron ana mouonea iw mo to be seated. "I know I am not a bad woman, yet sometimes when I get tirea and weary and half sick I lose my temper that Is, I get angry ana ao ioousn I have been married over 15 years, and the only real trouble I have ever had was sick ness. Yet I fly all to pieces sometimes and wish I had never married and a lot of silly stuff that I would not have come true for the world. ' J. ' "Why, you know, my husband is cauea the best .husband in Brooklyn, and hew too. He earns $16 a week and always gives me $15 of it every Saturday night. Now, I feel sure there are few men as good as that to their wives. Still, I get mad and fly about in a manner not at all becoming. But one does not always leei use express ing sympathy with a man's worries, his pleasures, his fatigues and even his temper. He gets angry at me once in a great while." Mrs. Cooner blushed rosy red ana loosed anything but a woman with a bad temper as she had described herself. She has a round face without a wrinkle in it, though she is SO years old, mild, blue eyes and a plump form. " "Come, Iook at my house ana jusl see u. you- can find any cause xor my not Deing the happiest woman In Brooklyn, but first won't you have a glass of iced milk?" Mrs. Cooper's face lairiy Deamea wiin happiness, and one could not imagine a cross word ever passing the red lips that entered with such vim into the praise of her home and surroundings, . 'I run the house on $9 a week I mean by that the table and every expense ex cepting the rent. The remaining $8 goes for rent and a small bank account. My boy is 14, and I have a girl who goes to school regularly. Then, comes my little one, who is old enough to run the streets and keep me after him much of the time." The flat had lour rooms, all light ana airy, tivery noor was carpetea ana neat ness prevailed. The kitchen was covered with a bright colored oilcloth, and to add still more brilliancy to the room' turkey red cotton was made into curtains that were draped about the iron sink, the cup board windows, the closet doors, and wound up with small sash curtains that threw a soft red lightover the whole room. Pictures adorned the walls, and the four mantelpieces were heavily laden with vases; clocks and images. Every room had a rock ing chair, the largest being in the kitchen, which had every appearance of being the living room. White lace curtains, tied back with red ribbons, hung at every window and red plush footstools were plentiful, red evidently being the favorite color. A wife's carelessness of her personal ap pearance has frequently proved the mar ring of what might otherwise have turned out a happy marriage, but Mrs. Cooper runs not that risk, for she is tasteful and neat. h- "I carry my husband's hot dinner to him every day if the boy is not home. It is said that when poverty comes in at the door love flies out at the window, but that is not always true, because we are very happy here, and if sickness will keep away we are all right. That has been my only cause for worry. Had we all been well we might have had a pleasanter home than this to live in now, for my husband is a good work man, and as I said before gives everything be earns to his family. : "I wish you would wait and see my hus band. He is fine looking. He will be home at 6. Will you have some pears to eat be fore you go? If you want to write up any more happy homes, I will take you over to a friend of mine who has such a pretty place. Goodby. I am sorry you will not wait to see my husband." . I left with a feeling of envy in my heart. "I would rather be very poor and be as happy as that woman," I thought, "than be the richest lady iu the world and miser able." Who would not rather see a child happy in the sunlight than a wise man pining in a darkened jail? "Olncer," I said, hailing a policeman who was crossing the street, "will you please direct me to my car? I have just come from Mrs. Cooper's and am turned around and really don't know which way to go." "Been m Mrs. Cooper's, have you? Is he back?" "Is who back?" j "Why, Mr. Cooper. -He left his wife a few weeks ago. They had a big misunder standing and went to court about it." 'Yes, he's back. Tell me about it," I cried. Was my happy home to be pulled to the ground so soon? "Well, there is no better man in Brook lyn than Mr. Cooper. ; He gives his wife ev erything. By Joe, he only keeps out $1 for himself every week. ; He goes home as reg ularly as the clock ; strikes 6 and stays there till he is out at work again. The oth er night he wanted to go off with the boys. . and she did not want him to. Great Scott! a fellow ought to be allowedome amuse ment besides working for his family. He said he would go, and she said she would see that he did not. i He got all ready and looked for his hat. He found it cut into little bits. His wife had done it in a fit of temper. Of course he could not go without a bat, and she bad won, for he did not go, He got thundering mad and said he did not care to live any longer with a woman who would not let him out once in 15 years. 1 believe the judge said he had never had such an odd case to handle and sent them home to try to make up. I am glad to hear he has gone back to her, for he has three bright children, and his wife is very pleasant and a good housekeeper. The only trouble with her .is that she hasn't the least idea what trouble is. Ye gods! to cut ud a fellow's hat because he wants to go to Coney Island once in 15 years 1 It seems that unhappiness is a necessary evil, for I no tice in my rounds through life that if there is no cause for misery, by Joel they grow thin over their blessings. .

Silverware becomes so blackened from the sulphur smoke that I was disgust ed with mine. However, I forgot a little cream in a jug.

I The Feaat of the Dolls. Tn Janan there la one day in the year that railed "The Feast of the Dolls." V On that day all the shops have finely dressed dolls ir the windows, and beauti ful collections of dolls are shown in all the public halls and theaters. There are big dolls, little dolls, boy dolls, girl dolls and baby dolls. Thousands of them and more too. They are dressed in bright, pretty, silks and are placed in such natural posi tions that you have to look twice to be sure they are not alive. ; j "The Feast of the Dolls" came a few months ago. And you cannot Imagine what a pretty sight it was to see the dolls in their holiday attire, for this Is a very beautiful season in Japan, and the dolls were placed in windows filled with' red quince blossoms and in little wagons load ed with pink apple blossoms. A little American girl who lives in Bos ton was in Japan for the doll festival, and she was delighted with it. Her mam ma took her to walk so she might see the streets lined with dolls, and the little girl laughed and clapped her hands again and again, laughing and - shouting -aloud at Bnme of the aueer things she saw. In one of the windows there were big Jap anese girl dolls carrying little boy dolls in what American children call "pick-a-back" fashion. The little boys who were carried anrjeared to be having a good time. But the girls screwed tip their plump little faces and made eyes in a very funny fashion. New York Ledger. - Daniel Webster's Childhood. The childhood of Daniel Webster did not show the man. He was a crying baby and a pale, weak, sickly boy, the slimmest child in the family, but at manhood he had a large, stately frame, a massive head and an iron constitution. The change had been ef fected by working on his father's farm, in dulging in outdoor sports and living a fru gal, temperate life. bo robust ana ! large was nis Doay ana so impressive was his walk that the coal heav ers of London paused in their work to stare at him as he passed them. Sydney Smith likened him to "a steam engine in trousers," adding, "He is a living lie. because no man on earth could be as ereat as he looked." I Carlyle called him "a parliamentary Her cules" whom "pne would incline at sight to back against the world." f Perhaps the greatest physical compli ment he ever received was that paid to his mountain of a head. When Thorwaldsen, the Danish sculptor, saw Webster's bust in Powers' studio in Borne, he exclaimed, "Oh. a design for Jupiter, I seel" ! With difficulty he was made to believe that it was the head of an American. Youth's Companion. nlific Identification Was Easy. 1 Not. long ago an accident happened to little Barbara's doll Gladys, which was thereupon Bent to a store where surgical attention is given to wounded dolls. When the day came for it to be discharged, cured, Barbara obtained permission to go and get it.. Barbara stood on tiptoe before the counter at the store and asked if her doll was mended. , "I guess soi" said the young woman be hind the counter, fumbling over a pile of dolls on a shelf. "But I'm afraid I can't tell which one it is in all this lot." 'Oh, you can find her easily enough," said Barbara confidently. "Her name's fcrladys." Chicago Evening Post. Her Thimble.
