Helen DensmOre.

New York has many interesting
women, and not the least among them
is DIR. Helen Densmore. Helen Dens-
more used to be Helen Barnard, and
under that name there are many news
paper men who remember her as tall,
handsome woman, with shapely head
and profusion of yellow hair, who sat
for years the only woman in the re-
porters' gallery of the House of Rep
resentatives, and taking notes and
writing letters as if mainland n
clever man-were knocking off the
sentences. Helen Barnard was q figure
in the political and journalistic circles
of Washington. Lamar, Garfield,
Butler and Jere Black held many an
animated discussion with her. When
n mission was organized to look into
the treatment of emigrants in the
steerage crossing the Atlantic Butler
went to President Grant and had Mrs.
Barnard appointed on it at the same
salary received by the men The gen.
tlemen on that commission had fine
time at the Vienna Exposition, but
saw few emigrants. Helen Barnard
put on an old dress and sailed from
Liverpool to New York in the steerage
of the Inman Line. Unless she found
the privations and abuse of that pas
sage considerably less than I did when
| investigated the charges made in
twelve or fifteen years, it is easy to
believe that deal of earnestness went
into her report, which was pronounced
one of the ablest state papers on file
at Washington. From journalism
Helen Barnard went into medicine,
and the same graceful woman, with
firm-set chin and decisive mouth, is
the physician best known Us a sue
cessor to Banting in the cure of obes-
ity. DIR. Densmore eats only one meal
and is personally strict vegetarian. -

kings of Babylon and Persia. The Ro-
mans adopted it together with other
devices, but Marius made it the ensign
of the legion, and used the other de-
vices for the cohorts. France, under
the empire, had the eagle for its ma
tional device. The two-headed eagle,
as a device, was first used by Constan-
tine the Great, and signifies double
empire. There is superstition, very
ancient, that every ten years the eagle
scars into "fiery region" and plunges
thence into the sea, where, molting
its feathers, it acquires new life.
The eagle is the supporter of the
lectern in churches, because that bird
is the natural enemy of the serpent,
and it is also emblematic of st. John
the Evangelist, because, like the
eagle, he looked ON "the sun of glory"
The idea has always been held that
the eagle alone of all the animal world
has eyes which can Withstand the full
blaze of the sun at midday The terms
golden eagle and spread eagle are com.
memorative of the crusades; they
were the devices of the emperors OF
the East, In the mythology of Scan.
dinavia there is fable of a wonderful
ash tree which drops honey. In the
branches sit an eagle, squirrel and
four stays. AT the root Hes the SER
pent Nihthoggr, gnawing it, while the
squirrel runs up and down the tree
trying to SOW strife between the eagle
and the serpent.

Jay Cooke Rich Again.

Among the pushing throng of Broad
way to-day was an old gentleman clad
more in the garb of Il countryman than
that of great financier. His clothes
were plain, and his white SLOUGH hat
with its broad brim, gave him the an,
pearance of a well-to-do farmer. The
hair and beard of Jay Cooke are now
snow white, but he still moves along as
if contented with life. No one familiar
with his everyday appearance would
think he was the famous banker-the
man who has handled more millions
than any other private individual in
America, failed for more money than
any other, and finally has grown rich
again after he had grown old. While
he is by no means as familiar figure
rs he used to be, and does not mingle
in the uncertainty of "the street." as
of yore, he is more frequently seen
among the hustle of business men than
almost any man of his age
Jay Cooke has had singular career.
When the war broke out he lived out
along Lake Erie, at Sanduskv, and
Salmon p. Chase, while Secretary of
the Treasury, first gave him a big
start in life, which he followed to dis
aster, and then built anew from moth.
ing. Mr.. Cooke never forgot or nc
elected his home in Ohio, and one of
his charities is n beautiful home on an
island in Lake Erie, few miles from
Sandusky, which he bought and named
Gibraltar" He had it laid out in
Wild, romantic walks, and built COM
modious stone castle upon it. He pro-
vided the house with every imaginable

comfort, ana put into 1t competent
housekeeper. To this retreat he would
invite each summer ministers of the
gospel of different denominations, who
could lily afford to take summer
vacation.
Mr.. Cooke lives with his son-in-law
now, Mr.. Barney, who does business
near the famous old clearinghouse on
Third street, in Philadelphia, over
which Mr.. Cooke once presided, and
where the Northern Pacific Railroad
was projected. In many respects Jay
Cooke will go down to history as one
of the remarkable men of our time. In
a little church out at Frankfort, near
Philadelphia, he has son preaching
to a congregation who can hardly afford
to pay him salary enough to liquidate
his horse hire. So the curious turns
of life are again illustrated in Mr..
Cookies career and in that of the fam
lily he has raised.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1889-08-15

and looking up in the air he falls over
croquet set and injures himself. His wife
says: Henry. you ought to put on that
mosquito-bar arrangement l made for you

straightway doth reply. Il never put
nawthing on me before and l won't do it

But. Henry. they are so feverish to- day,
and you have got your other clothes on. so
they won't know you. Do try 1t this time. "
So he wraps up his head in n green mos
quito net and puts on pair of cowhide
mittens. The bees alight on tall clm tree.
and he gets ladder up there against it..
Then he slowly ascends the tree with II bee
hive under his arm. Just before he put on
the mosquito net he took Il large chew OF
tobacco. He now wishes that he had not.
People begin to go by on their way to meet
ing, and see him up in the tree with n large
green head on him and hot leather mittens.
They speak to him. but he cannot reply be-

Bees are very Industrious, but fool them
selves by accommodating more than they
need. forgetting that they will soon die and
leave their substance for those who did not
earn it. We should learn lesson from the
bee and not run the matter of industry Into
the ground. We should not strive to accu-
mulate 50 much that it will prevent our en-
Goyment during our lifetime and only en- =

remember that their shrouds will not hold

ANNALS OF TANGLETON.
JUNIPER PLACE, July 16, 80.

10 THE DEER FOLKS.
X&XA hev to tell you now
Z|ISAT of one of the saddest
EHY fSEE, happenins that even
NS\YYean befell Tangleton. II
AA6A&% was in urly spring
MCKAY time, on Il Saterday
fournoon, an we VIM
men was hustlin with our work. We
he'd the winders open, fur it was gettin
mild, an little boy cumin by with a
a cry of "Fire!" maid us all rush to
look out, an then we run into the street
to see it better.
1t was no bon fire, can tell you
The drug store on the corner, near the
canal, was a blazzin like mad, an
Shiloh's roof had caut. Tha was
tryin to get the goods out, but thare
was sech danger of the walls fallin in
that not CRATE deel was SAWED.
Thare was lots of men on hand to
carry water frum the canal-fer it was
before tina got a hose cart-an the
wimmen helped. 1 CESS thare was lots
of flour burned that day, as well at
houses, fer it was bakin day, but moss
everybody forgot that.
Shiloh's family got out only part of
thare house goods, an tina had to be
carted away rite off, fer the flames was
hyin at sech a rait that we was afrade
the hull town wood go.
1t was nifty hard to keep the fire
from crossin the canal an eaten up the
elevator full of Crane jest at the south
end of the bridge. But by hard work
tina SAWED it. The wind took the top
of haystack that was burnin an
landed tiff L may so speek- in
the middle of the canal. an the boys
he'd a good time throin water onto it.
There was a large saloon house on
the corner above the Shiloh block, an
it took lots of work to keep it frum
goin too. An now, good people, I'm
tellin you solid fact when / say that
Dame Rudgers run up the ladder an
was on that roof, a-bossin the men.
She was master hand to boss an to
work, too, if she only had the Iced in
everything. But she wood never play
second fiddle ennywhare.
Down in frunt of Canny's saloon
the big one-sum wimmen was throin
water agenst the sides, an one of EN-
dipped it up with tin cup!
The canal bridge was full of folks,
lookin on an wishin tina Good help.
One woman slipped home an maid a
big pot of coffee an braut down fer the
folks that he'd bin so bizzy. 1t dun
EN- lots of good too.
Uncle Jimmy he'd bin away sum
WHARF, but he got down jest as the
flames was at thare hyest. I wish L
he'd his picture fer you jest as he look
ed then. He he'd ON ruff cloth coat
with big cape, an his hat he'd fell off,
shown his shiny bald pait an gray
hair. His arms was lifted hy up and
movin back an fourth, an he was a
shoutin: at has cum, the rath of God
is upon u.s." over an over, he shouted
it, an ennyboddy that hurd him never

prophet, in Bible days.
