Remarkable Career-Tke. Author 81
s'Kathleeh lMavodrneen.'' ~,

For the last two years, says the Balti-
more correspondent of the New York
Express, there has lived in an out-of-the-
way street in Baltimore 4 man who, by
his literary and musical abilities, has
rendered his name famous throughout
two continents. He lis f.. Nicholas
Crouch, the author and composer of
g Kathleen Mavourneen." He is. at
present engaged as q varnisher in a fac
tory near his home, and by this pursuit
he is enabled to support his large fami.
ly. In appearance he has marked and
expressive copntenapce, sinewy form
and iron-gray hair, He is apparently
an ordinary mechanic, but the brain
which was once SO fertile with ideas can
Still conceive thoughts worthy of the
mans His history IS interesting because
of It's numerous successes and failures;
it is peculiar because, his. talents have
raised him almost to the height of fame
only to bring him eventually to his
present lowly position. Mr.. Crouch
was born in England on the Slst OF July,
1903. He comes of q very good family,
the pembers,of which had often distin.
gdfshed thepselves in the various pro-
fessions. From an early age Mr.. Crouch
had evinceda love Of music, and at nine
years Of age played bass.viol 1t the Royal
Cott,rg Theater in London. From this
starting point he worked himself into
ellis Majesty's Theater ~ and played .
ssob on the violoncello before Rossini.
'BBertra, then In the zenith of his glory,
ywa1 conductor of the opera, and was 60
sTlSased with the boys devotion to his
profession that he made him his pupil.
AT lineage Of twenty, strong indications
of vocal excellence manifested them
selves and Bockra transferred his pupil
to William Halves, master of St.
PAulb Cathedral, /: Westminster ssAb-
hey, and the Chapel Royal boys.
Here Crouch studied the Epis-
copal High Church service and

4 SONG For 4 BIRTHDAY BOY


Once. VI on winter night.
Wien the snow Law cod and White,
Dropped i|,,y from the skies,
With pair Of big L.nwn eyes:
Without clothes, on food, or name,
KIN into orr hearts il came
Aniwc loved it from ,hat minute
As il there were 'niil.irn; in il.
Soon happy year had iiown:
Ne could creep. and stand alone,
Know ulannia ana KoH and ritz,
DO a hundred pretty tricks:

And !. lIn trcu me; beside.
When an Nh ~ year went by,
Could .r'' il should try
Half how lovely he had yr0wn!-
Wa kiny Ikea lna:l. alone,
Taking with such bHbhlg words
Lk The co'iny Of The b rtlS,
Win tang ed crop Of curls
Hanging round hinl--Iikc girls.
Tho years Old: now look Cor squalls,
Trials. troubles. cries and falls.
Up and 'iown like any rocket.
In his dress little pocket,
Filled with tops. ana n is, and strings,
And some nifty other tn ngs:
Three feet tall. or taller, maybe
Can his be my little baby:
Still another birthday: dear,
What four-year colt is here!
l.caplng, rum ny. skipping, prancing,
III ana out on swift feet dancing,
Handling marbles, spinning tops,
Spending cents in candy-shops;
In Killed skirt and bultO led Jacket,
Always ripe for fun and racket!
Now. as sure az I'm alive,
That outrageous boy is five.
Send him off TO school at once
We don't want TO own Ounce:
Full OF tricks as a'iy ma ten
Get him tSa Kindergarten:
There he'll learn to use his wits,
Without any ugly tits.
Six-and what do behold!
No more waving curls O1 gold,
But q little wig OF brown,
Closely cropped about the crown;
NJ more SKIRTS but little brooches
Full Of many seams and stitches;
Growing, every single day,
In the most surprising way.
Seven to-day: a Boy at last!
Time and tide have travelled fast;
There he Sits, 50 line and tall.
Jacket, trousers, boots aud all:
He can spell, and read, aud write,
He is good and gay, ana bright.
And his lie goes hravey on.
Blu, where is my Baby gone?
So now | hOpe-what do hope? Oh, scores
and scores Of things!
hope he Il learn to comb his hair, and tie nj
own shoe-strings:
hope he II never catch a cold in hail, or snow
or rain,
And grow to be full six feet nigh without one
growing pain:
hope hei keep his clear bright eyes, and his
quick sparkling wits.
And never, NEVER tell tale on Jack, or Rob
or Fritz:
And never lose his merry laugh, or smile 81
gay and pleasant.
And lay up money in his box to buy each on'
a pvcScnt;
In short, / hope-to end my rhyme, and not tt
make it longer
Not only may my darling grow both better
wise and stronger.
But be, in heart, and mind, and soul, in all hi
walks and ways,
A "Cotld not be Il be'ter"* boy, through al
his happy days. .N= "-.

Burton Breyities,

The farmers hereabout are at present
busy with their threshing and fall plow-
ing. The crops are very poor as far as
small grain is concerned. Wheat is al
most failure owing to winter-killing
and chintz bugs. Oats are better but
being affected by the rust the yield Is
somewhat meagre. Corn is considered
fair crop, whatever that term implies.
Mr. S. Ashley paid us short visit
this week, ostensibly to look after his
interests in his farms on Grant bottom
but more probably to inform US that he
had sold his large lumber yard at East
Dubuque.
We have candidate for Governor in
our vicinity. He arrived at Mr.. Oliver
Dolls residence last Sunday so l am
told, and proposes to reside with him
for the present. The weight of the en-
bryotic statesman is up to the standard,
being ten pounds with his coat off. This
class of politicians are quite common in
this section of late.
The hoop industry promises to be
quite active this winter, as three or four
factories are now, or soon will be in
course of construction. One belonging
to Reed & Mink is now completed and
ready for the operators.
The Messrs. Martin have just COM
pleted substantial and commodious
residence on their farm. Jacob Reed
also purposes to erect large barn yet
this autumn.
Last week, as Mr.. H. Shine was
chopping in the woods, the AK, being
loose on the handle, slipped off, and,
falling on his foot, cut off the main chord
of his toe, thus disabling him for time.
Bilious-intermittent fever is quite
prevalent hereabouts.

LATE on Saturday afternoon rider
"spurred with speed" came dashing into
the city and announced that a party
while on his way home had fallen from
his wagon few miles west of town and
the wheels passing over his body he had
sustained serious if not fatal injuries.
Drs. Barber and Mitchell answered the
call for a surgeon and proceeded as rap
idly as possible to the supposed scene of
the accident. When part way out a
friendly residenter informed them they
need not proceed any further as the
dead had gathered himself together and
started the second time for home in a
buggy that came along. The cause of
the incident was an over indulgence In
that which doth inebriate.

The Carpenter memorial association
has perfected its organization and there
is now a fair prospect that the proposed
tribute to Wisconsin's great orator and
statesman will not be suffered to lie COW
cred by the dust of forgetfulness. Sub
scriptions will be placed at one dollar,
and to each subscriber will be issued
an engraved certificate of membership,
bearing the signature of the President
and Secretary of the association, to-
gether with portrait of Senator Car
penter, as viii be seen by the rules and
regulations given below.
Each donor is requested to sign his
name to the subscription list as it is de-
signed to preserve the autographs thus
obtained. Any donor may also sign
and subscribe for any member of his
family,
Each person contributing one dollar
to the memorial fund will receive GER
tificsce of membership signed by the
president, VIM. E. Smith, and the secre-
tary, Frank A. Flower, and containing
portrait of Matthew Hale Carpenter
Local committees shall have power &c
appoint subcommittee or assistants il
their respective counties TO aid in col
lecting subscriptions and to endorse or
the back each certificate of membership
given out.
No portion of the donations TO tbs
memorial fund shall be expended fol
any purpose whatsoever.
All donations, together with the lis
of donors, shall be transmitted one,
each week to George G. Houghton
Milwaukee, Wis. Individuals who SEM
contributions should direct TO Mr.
Houghton and enclose three cents post
age for the return of certificate u mem
bership."

Too much choose" was plainly prev
alent on fair day. AS the afternoon
wore on the hot weather, combined
with little too promiscuous informing
ling of drinks overcome the resisting
qualities of some of the weaker heads,
leaving their owners, as result, with
more valor than discretion. A crowd
embodying in its elements a number of
this class thronged the sidewalk near
the residence of General Calls to such
an extent as to blockade the same. City
Marshal Mitchell requested them to
move on several times and leave clear
passage way, but each time on return
ing found the crowd again in possession
of the walk Forbearance ceasing
to be virtue Mitchell reached forth and
gathered in two of the leaders, who,
finding the arguments used by the
Marshal too powerful, consented to ac-
company him on short walk up the
street. Numerous promises on the part
of the offenders to behave themselves in
future induced Mitchell, little later, to
release them from custody after few
words of admonitory advice.
