Adopted Daughter of Senator sherman.
understand that the adopted daughter
Of Senate Sherman has become a great
comfort to him, both from her affection
and her accomplishments. His wife heard
her husband express the desire to have
some children 10 bring up, and she under
stood that In New York there were two
fine children, the daughters OF Il French
couple who came to this country, and
here the husband lost his wife. He was
30 disconsolate that he refused TO stay in
the land which he accused OF having
caused the death OF his partner. SO he
gave his children to an institution; and,
hearing about them, Mrs. Sherman came
over TO New York, and Il is said that she
personally, without any assistance, car
ried those two infants to Washington in
the night. One of them died before it was
2years old. The other was sent abroad
to be educated; and, while there, some in
forming person told the girl that she was
not the child OF the senator and his wife.
1t made her so unhappy that she was I'M
able to stay in France, and insisted upon
coming home. The incident, however,
secured ye. more Of the affection of her
adopters, and they are realizing as much
joy in the object OF their care as If she
were their own.-"Gathisr Letter.

sat Judge Miller, and at the side of Mat

would, and the compliment to the
press may be accepted without the

ness of the newspaper press is to
give the news, and that every man
ought to have. The next@is to
make such comment on the news as
seems to bejust, and we venture to
say that in nine out of ten cases
this comment is based upon honest
and intelligent opinion. The opln
ion. moreover, is usually formed by
men who have no personal interest
in the matters at issue. 1t is the
business of these men tojudge and
to be fair in their Judgment
Willie they lave not the official au-

Keynote to Success in Life.

secondly, to acquire some special
skill or craft.
1t is the specialist, the man who
can do some one thing. however
small, though it be only to make
bread or button hooks better than
anybody else, who nowadays is Sc
cure of his living.-And it is the
man who sticks to his own trade,
who initiates and courts nobody,
who lives simply and sincerely out
from his own conscience, convic-
lions and taste who is secure Of his
social position.
John Burroughs studied birds,
and birds ouly. He knows them
as nobody else ever has done, and
when he tells us of their bad habits,
their vices, their oddities and the
meaning Of their song, all the world
stands still to listen.

He has not only earned enormous
wealth for his family, but he has

useful appliances Of life.
1t is useless to dwellOn this point
