JOHN BROWN ON THE OSAGE.
When l began this narrative it was my in

John Brown and his work in Southern Kansas.
But in order to give the reader clearer idea
OF how the Free-State men were then treated

party then in power, and the causes that
brought John Brown from the Pottawatomie
to the Usage, and his invasion of Missouri and
kidnapping of slaves, the writer had to 90 back
to the spring of 1851 and tell how the border ruff
fans and Captain Montgomery had been war

and thunder; for Old John Brown Is now on the
Usage, and that means fight.
The first time / ever saw John Brown was
few days after Montgomery had sacked Fort
Scott. With few of his men he came to
Lebanon-no one knew what for. He talked
a great deal about the trouble the Free-State
men were then having with the Missourians
On learning that we were from Portage
county, Ohio, he called ON US, and said that he
used to live in Portage county, and knew a
great many good people there. That made as
friends at once, and my brother invited him to
remain over night. He accepted the invita-

The chirrl11p Of the robin and the whistle of the

As he .piped across the meadows, sweet as any

When the bloom was on The clover and the blue

And my happy heart briniIned over-in the days

In the days gone by, when my naked feet were

BY the honeysuckle tangles where the water lilies
dipped,
And the Iippes of the river Tipped the moss along

Where the placid-eyed and lazy footed cattle came

And the fitting snipe stood fearless of the trrlants

Lady Telegraphcrs.

The Office tclcgraphcr of the Gl0be
sat listening to the tick of his instru-
mcnt with a peculiar seraphic smile on
his face, when a reporter interrupted
him with the remark: IN bet ten to
one there's female operator on the
other end of that wire, and what she's
sending is a special for you and not for
the paper
lit is certainly lady who is sending
the message said the tclcgraphcr,
''and she is doing it very well, indeed.
There are many excellent operators
among the women, and though they can
not do such hard work as a man. they
send messages in very good shape

Where do all the operators come
from9
1.-The city telegraph operators are
supplied mostly by young men who
have learned the business in country
offices. In many eases the son of a
country telegraphcr learns the art from
bis father in spare moments, and finally
succeeds him in the business. For
time he is satisfied with his position,
and the novelty of 'buzzing' female
operator in a town thirty miles distant
is very pleasing, but soon he gets to
talking with city operators over the
wires, and when he finds out what they
are paid he becomes dissatisfied with his
own little salary of next-to-nothing
month and find himself, and so deserts
his post for the city. These young fcl-
lows from the country make very good
operators, for as rule they begin to
learn when they are thirteen or fourteen
years old, and that an operator should
begin young is positively essential to his
success. They say person can never
be a good violinist unless he begins
when child, and it is much the same
with telegraph operator. They begin
early and generally leave the business
before they are old; not that they retire
on fortune, but they drift out into
some other occupation, as most of them
intended to when they first began to
handle key. boston Globe.
