'Mong air-caStles wondrously lofty,
And fancies both f1eeting and Wild
There's picture, all framed with a halo
OF tenderest, mellowest light
The glow Of my Decentralization
Growing ever more radiant and bright.
A gentleman, white-wigged and stately,
Smooth-faced, and with shoulders erect,
So tall, and with mien so majestic,
prince might his manner affect.
Yet tender his smile as the sunshine,
And voice fit for angels at prayer;
For the manifest men are the gentlest,
And such was my hero so rare.
, To interiors, gracious and friendly,
To equals, most pleasant and bland:
Yet stern in rebuke, and unyielding,
When question Of right was in hand.
Brave, steadfast and CHEEKY in hardship,
Keen-eyed, ready handed and sure,
With power to be valiant in action,
Or calmly to wait and endure.
Not alone do worship my hero;
AS nation we cherish his name.
We call him our Father and always
Are proud to acknowledge his fame.
Oh, president-first of our country
General-valiant and brave,
Oh, gentleman, gracious and courtly,
Thy mission stopped not at the grave.
Thou teachest cen now to thy people,
The lesson of justice and truth,
or chivalrous care for the aged,
OF tenderest guidance to youth;
As gentleman, patriot, leader,
We give thee our praises to-day.
And know that so doing we honor
Ourselves by the homage we pay.

Neatness in Dress.

Unfortunately we cannot all be
beautiful, but we can all be neat and
as attractive as careful study of the
proper color and style of dress and
adornment within our means can make
us. To be sure the adornment of the
mind is superior to the identifying of
the person, but the mind is invisible,
and the body is the personality re-
garded as the ego, and the world is
prone to JUICE by appearances. Chi.

founded within the last half century. A
notable exception among the larger West
ern cities is st; Louis. The first recorded
settlement, in the way of laying out town
was by Pierre Laclede Liguest, a French
man. in Feb, D7t4. AT the time he sup
posed he was taking possession of the site
in the interest of bis native country. 1t
was not until some months afterwards that
he learned of the Treaty of Paris in the
previous year, by which the territory west
of the Mississippi was coded to Spain. In
1900 it ! came French again, until the
financial necessities of Napoleon compelled
him TO sell it to the United States for S12,-

The Origin of Hoodlurn.

About twenty or twenty-five years ago
there lived in San Francisco couple by the
name of O'Houghlihan, who were blessed
with family of boys who were the terror
of that region; ignorant, brutal young
toughs, whose only pastime was torment
ing, abusing and beating all the other
youngsters in the neighborhood. They
were so much dreaded by the neighbors
that when they were seen approaching
children were called indoors and kept there
till they had gone to safe distance, and it
was easy to know when they were in sight
by hearing women calling, "Patsey, Mary
Ann, come in; the HOughlihans is comm"
The o was dropped in haste of calling
the young ones; and after little the name,
a somewhat difficult one to pronounce at
the best, was in the mouths of the Ger
mans Italians, Chinese and nationalities
residing on the Barbary coast, corrupted
into ''hoodlums," and the Houghlihan
boys and their associates became generally
known as the Northumberland Orego-
MAN.
