JENNY LIMOS BEGINNING.


a Delicatp Swedish CHRIS Eirst steps OK
the Road 70 Fame.
Early In this century-1620-there was
born to q poor Swedish couple q delicate,
Insignificant looking child. She was
Shristened Jenny, the family name of
Lind being added IN the register almost as
an afterthought. since It seemed har6iy
possible that the child would outliye It's
day Of baptism. Months passed; the lit
tie n lived, but could not be said to
-4h<fye. Herr Lind, the father, had h
small school in Stockholm. He Was as-
sisted by his wife, who seems to have
taken almost no interest III her little
daughter, for as the baby grew into ca
pacity for walking and moving about. the
mother left her entirely to the care Of an
ignorant woman, who locked the child Ii
a room while she went ont to work.
But in the tiny, delicate franae of this.
baby was something which showed itself
even then as q spark Of the divine fire.
Before she could speak plainly the child
could sing--not merely catching q tune
and carrying OF the melody, bat singing
so that passers BY ia the street beneath
the window OF the room where tae child
was kept under lock and key would pause
to listen TO the remarkable birdhke notes
Presently, when the little girl had grown

WILL BE WAR.
Trlckery Has the boards at Present But
Wal WIN BE Final.

War WIN BE Final.
BENIN, Feb. 25.-The skill Of the
players In the game Of diplomacy now
proceeding before the eyes Of Europe
makes its successive developments in the
highest degree interesting; but everybody
recognizes the fact that the ultimate issue
is war, whatever temporary advantage
diplomatic trickery may achieve, The
Bismarck alnoky combination May o o
entrap Russia into a false position, from
which only submission with supreme hu
initiation can rescue her, unless she pre-
fers wal with incomplete preparations, or
the cars advisers may manage to post
pone the final crisis until they deem that a
better moment to strike has come.
In playing this waiting game Russia has
scored the first success. Prince Bis
marck's formal invitation to the car to
demand the restitution Of Russian prepon-
derance in Bulgaria, concealed beneath its
apparent frankness a pitfall for Russian
diplomacy. If the car had interpreted
the invitation to mean that Russia was free
to restore her status in Bulgaria by force,
a crisis would have been precipitated and
Russia would have been drawn into the
fight in Gallacia. This has been avoided
and a protracted comedy Of negotiations
will now precede the tragedy of war.
There win be much wearisome
talk about collective notes, diff
erences among the powers,
concert Of the powers for the deposition
OF Prince Ferdinand, concessions by Rus
STA, adhesions by Austria and so forth, but
amid them all the situation will remain
unchanged. Prince Ferdinand will not
suceumb till he is ousted by force. The
central powers will accept no Russian
candidate nor any settlement the car can
propose. Meanwhile Russia has taken
advantage of the delay to complete nego-
tiations for a French alliance, to extend
the mobilization Of her force which is now
practically progressing, and to set troops
in line of battle with her immense re-
sources organized since the discovery of
the defects in the transportation and
commissariat departments.

got off about noon, were run today. The
