piles of books and newspapers all about
him, very little could be said by anyone
about his antecedents 1t was general
" supposed, though, that he had lived
and died unmarried. Now, however, a
woman of nearly thirty, employed as a
servant. comes forward as a claimant
for the little property he had left, on
the ground that she is his daughter 1t
appears that long ago, when Mann was
well off. he spent some time in France,
and was married there to a woman OF
strong temper and will and way OF
her own. They did not 90 on together
at all. and after separating, as they
soon did, neither cared what became OF
the other. Mann owned couple OF
GOOD houses in New York, and operated
not a little in Wall street. He sold the
houses, was wrecked in Wall street, and
retired to obscurity in Williamsburg.
His alleged daughter says he knew she
was living, but took no interest in her
nor She in him. II fhUdgs5h ffhUds5h the effects lett
bv the old recluse are Of very little
value, there is prospect Of stubborn
fight over them in court. Mann was
originally from New Hampshire, but he
grew up in the South. In his old days
he was cranky in the extreme, and the
people living about him were as ignor-
ant of his history as if his miserable
home were in Central Africa.-M T.

He Had the True Kind.

Three or four sessions back there was
member of the Michigan Legislature
who put in sixty or seventy days of the
session without having word to say,
and it was only at rare intervals that
he was recorded as voting for or against
bill. His constituents finally sent a
delegation to Lansing to poke him up
bit, and after hearing what the gentle
man had to say the member replied:
"While I didn't expect no such action
as this, I am fortunately prepared for it.
Come over to my room"
The delegation followed him to his
room, and the member took down file
of the daily journal, and exhibited about
twenty marked paragraphs, every one
of them reading:
"And on motion of Mr.. Bombee, of
Bombay, the House took recess"

ga ioa, after looking them over, "but this

This was TENS father, who had been
seeking him, high and low, for some
time. and had found him at last, fast
asleep in the orchard.
Toms adventure in an ant-hill was a
dream; yet not all a dream, passing
away with his waking thoughts. like the
morning cloud. The last words of his
guide rang through his mind for many
day: ''Laziness is terrible curse and
can blight the finest powers" It was
the turning-point in his life, which suf-
fered as great change as that which
turned the white, legless grub, in his
dream, into light airy insect. 1t was
a new birth. A few months later he
went to business, and soon won a char
acter for patient industry which he kept
throughout his life.

"Tye argued and scolded and coaxed without
end
Her answer is always: My boy has one friend
As long as live, and your charge is untrue
That my heart holds no equal love for you
And all the rest But the one gone astray
Needs me the most and you'll find tbs the way
or all mothers to hold close to the one
Who hurts her the most. So loves work is
done.'
'Now. what can say to such words as those
I'm not convinced, as the history shows,
But often wonder which one is right,
As hear her light step night after night,
Here and there to the window and door,
As she waits with heart that is heavy and
sore.
wish the boy dead. while she gives her life
To save him from sin. There's husband and
wife"
