rooms. consisting of a suite of three upon
the third floor, with atticS above, which do

dining-room is upon the ground floor and
opens upon a walled garden covered with
ivy and climbing roses, with balcony be-
tween it and the wide French windows of
the room and lined with creepers, so lux

A ROSE.

Would you know our fairy maiden
With her bonny eyes of blue?
Cheeks like rose-leaves perfume ladens
Silken curls of golden hue?
Scarce five summers with their flowers
Have passed DER her sunny head;
Sings like lark through matin hours,
With the brides seeks her bed
All day long her ceaseless chatter
Rings through chamber and through haA
And her busy footsteps patter
Makes sweet music for us all.
She's our sunlight, Joy and treasure,
Lovely, winSome, blithe aud gay,
And we know no sweeter pleasure
Than to watch her baby-play.
Years may come with sorrow laden
For the future no man knows
But, Time, spare our little maiden,
Send but joys to Baby Rosel

marvel; it is the many-Sided representative
of all cities, of all nations, of all peoples,
of all arts and all industries, simple and
almost rustic in some of its ways majestic
in its achievements, grand and munificent
in its charities and its Inequalities. In

its population, its area, its immense diverSl-

metropolis by the Northwestern rail-
way in three hours and half, one
hour of which is consumed by boat to

with three trunks and any quantity Of

to reach our destination north of Regents

are booked for a concert and cricket match
Immediately upon our arrival. The station

Journalist, Henry WstterSon, of the Louis
vile COurier-JOurnal, attracts q good deal
of attention. Mr.. Watterson is only As
years old and undoubtedly has a career
ahead of him more brilliant even than that
through which he has passed already. He
was born in Washington on Feb.
16. 1910. while his father, dyed
in-the-wool Jackson Democrat, who, with
his excellent wife, is an honored celebrity
of the capital, was member of congress
from Tennessee. Young WatterSOn was an
especial favorite of Gen. Cas- and Stephen
A. Douglas. The first newspaper work he
ever did was for the States, Judge Douglas
organ in Washington. He received a
musical education. but never followed it up.
His instruction in the art, however, proved
a great help to him III his newspaper career.
He became a critic and won his first laurels
in journalism in this branch of the business.
At the outbreak of the war he gave up his
residence in Washington. He became a staff
officer on the Confederate side. From OctO-
Der, 1862. to 1868 he edited the Chattanooga
Rebel, popular paper.
At the close of the war he and two others
renewed the publication OF the Louisville
Republican. WattersOn conceived the idea
OF merging the Courier and the Journal of
Louisville, and interested a very clever
newspaper man named Haldeman in the
scheme. They pooled their issues and pur-
chased all the other papers in the city. Then
they issued the COurier-J ournal. 1t proved
a wonderfully successful venture. 1t is to-
day one OF the mostly widely-known news
papers in the country. No more 50 perhaps,
however, than was the journal under the
brilliant Prentice. WatterSOn brought a
lively storm about him by his denun-

was his secretary. In 1872 he was one OF
the originators of the Liberal movement
which made Horace Greeley its presidential
candidate. Watterson was, it is claimed,
the first 10 propose the name of Samuel j.
Tilden for president and presided over the
first days proceedings at the national con-
vention of 1876. WattersOn was elected to
the FOrty-fourth congress and was mem
Der Of the ways and means committee. He
declined denomination and resumed his
journalistic labOrs. He and Mr.. Haldeman
put up one Of the most tcostly and eOmmo-
diOus newspaper buildings in the world.
