BABYLAND.

There's wonderful country we all of us know
Where the strangest things talk. and the queerest
things grow
Where the Fairies and Brownies guard everything
nice
And delight the small children with charming ad-
vice
Where there's nobody rich, yet there's nobody
poor
For all are content, light of heart and secure,
And the name of this country, where all these
things be-
Is innocent Babyland. land Of the wee
lived in this Babyland. long years ago
eve all of us live theirs at some time, you know
But somebody kept me one morning from play
And took me to school, as they called 1t, that day
sang as went, for guessed nothing then,
And thought myself wise with my book and my
pen.
Ali little knew as danced on In glee
That had eeft Dabyland, land of the wee
They taught me to read, and they taught me to
write
They filled my head So that it thought in the
night,
wanted TO go back to Babyand then
And have no more bother of thinking again.
But try as | would to remember the way
Twas lost, and forgotten forever that day,
For none may return once they leave it, and see
Their innocent Babyland, land of the wee
Oh, little folks living in Babyland now,

Dance with tho blossoms that dance at your feet,
Laugh with each other wherever you meet

Tho Cumb erland Silver Treasure.

The great feature of the exhibition of plate
and jewels at tho palace Schwarzenberg, in
Vienna, is tho contribution of the Duke of
Cumberland, who has sent large portion of
tho celebrated ''silver treasure" Of the house
Of Hanover, which includes tho entire fur
niture of saloon in solid silver-chairs,
tables, cabinets aud mirror frames- There Is,
besides, tho dinner service which belonged to
the bishops Of Hildesheim, and also an i'm
mense silver arbor, with hanging flowers and
punches of grapes, all of silver. This was
manufactured at Augsburg in 1868. There is
a huge cloth of solid silver and number of
vases and tanllards and tho table ornaments

at 100000, besides those which were be-
queathed 10 him by the Duke OF Brunswick. -

with some exceptions, in the United States;

doubt and surprise, but in ttls1last named he
has the support of the eminent Turin geogra-
pher NJ. Guido Core. There is no doubt that
Columbus and Vespucci went along the Mos
quito coast at thefeet of the Sierra Amer
rique and that the name was reported by
the-officers and men of these expeditions, and
Schooner, the geographer, declared in 1915
that the name was already popular in Eu-
rope.
1t is beyond question that one edition of
Vespucci's letter ON his third voyage has the
name Amerigo in the place of the Christian
name. Nineteen editions had Albericus, and
subsequent Italian editions had Alberiee The
one with Amerigo on the title page was pub
lished in 1906, but NJ. Maroon suggests that
this was never intended to be variation Of
Alberico, but rather an adaptation of Amer

the New World to Vespucci's name to distin-
guish him. we now say "Chinese Gordon

JAW Cookies Start.

Mr.. Pitt Cooke once told me how his brother
Jay happened to get into the banking bust
ness, and as nearly as can recollect it was
as follows Tho Cookies were living in house
on Columbus avenue (Sandusky), near the
present site Of the Second National bank.
One day, when the family were seated at the
dinner table, Eleutheros Cooke, the father,
said in spirit Of pleasantly: "Well, boys,
you must look out for yourselves. l have sold
this house to Squire Beatty, and we have no
home now Jay was the only one who took
the matter seriously. He obtained a situation
in store that afternoon, subsequently, ac-
companied his employer to Philadelphia, and
this opened the way for him to the position
of clerk in banking house, and from this
humble start in life he became the financial
agent of the United States. -Howe's Histori-

that such notions are general among semi

among other rules from the south Slavs, the
following; Cucumbers must he grown three

Nearly twenty years ago my first interest
in the cat was excited ONO day III curly youth
when out hunting. a lady ut 4he farm
where stopped for dinner requested me to
shoot her cat, which was getting Old and use
less to the family. With the thoughtlessness
of youth consented and asked boy ia the

a look of anguish and rcproach anu leu dead.
That single glance has never iieen uiotted

CLOSE UP THE DIVES.

Chief Clark Strikes at the Root of
Crime on the Bohemian Flats.
The revocation of the licenses per-
uniting the existence of two saloons on
the Bohemian flats, the cesspools which
have breeded no end of crime in that
district, and to which three murders
may be directly traced during the pres
ent, year is probable in the near future.
One of these joints, it is said, sells more
beer than any other saloon in the city,
and both make big money, wringing
from the poor laborers of that district a
large percentage of their scant earnings,
money which should go to the relief of
their sh0ckingly poor wives and chill

is fights, brawls and fatal af-
trays in endless succession, occurring
on almost every Sunday and public hol-
iday. Chief Clark has been fully con-
WINGED of the necessity of closing the
dives. and yesterday communicated the
facts to Mayor Smith and Aldermen
Bickel and Sanborn, hoping that tho
necessary action will be taken.
Michael Seismic, the victim of the cut
ting ARRAY down there yesterday morn
ing. which was directly traceable to
one of the saloons. is lying at the city
hospital in all improved condition, but
his ultimate recovery is greatly in
doubt. He is suffering from a COM
pound fracture of the skull over the
left eye, and serious open flesh wounds
there. The perpetrator of the as
sault is still at large, hunted by the po-
day morning. Two witnesses to the
crime and participants in the row, are
locked up at the central station. An
ante-mOrtem statement of the wounded
man was taken by the county attorney
yesterday afternoon.

PREPARE FOR A TEMPEST.
A Storm With Thunder and Light

A Storm With Thunder and Light
ming Falls Due Here To-Day.
Wasn't it hot. yesterday?
What is the cause of this heat? This
was the question in everybOdy's mouth
yesterday and Sunday. The knowing
ones predicted storm, as the sky was
overcast all Sunday, but when it cleared
up yesterday and the brilliant blue Of
heaven shone forth once more, while
still the sitting heat caused the foolish
ones to go home and take off their
heavy underclOthing, those who had
predicted storm appeared nonplussed.
Signal Service Officer Lyons was be-
sieged with inquiries as to the where
and sawed wood. He glanced at the
heavens, shifted the western wind and
looked serious. After receiving
dispatches from all over the
wide, wide world he came to the
conclusion that storm was imminent.
But Ruskin's ''Thunder Cloud of the
Ninteenth century" did not materialiZe.
The adOlescent leaflets did not shiver.
The cold chill did not run down our
backs. In fact it didn't look bit like
a storm. But Mayor Smith opened two
more buttons of his vest, revealing
three more twinlSlers Oh his shirt
bosom, mopped the dew from mis- manly
forehead, pulled and prophesied rain.
The mandate went forth, and rain there
will be. About 10 p. M, while the
champagne was just beginning to soak
through the shirts of the barristerS,
great dark clouds came scurrying
across the sky. The silver
crescent of the newborn moon only
appeared enthusiastically through
the riffs in the great army of cloud
forms which drove across the sky as if
impelled by the force of mighty
tempest. The Missouri valley was re-
ported to be receiving visit from
double-distilled copper bottomed cy-
clone. Towards midnight the wind
commenced to sigh. and as the lawyers
went home from the banquet it whistled
through their whiskers. In short.
stoam was brewing. and from the time
it took to brew it seemed likely to be a
bowler when it lit. To-day is expected
to be stormy. Thunder, lightning,
wind, rain and other old favorites of st.
Paul audiences are expected to appear
tonight. with a matinee all DAY, on
their way to delight the population of
the far, far East.
