tom" Poole, the friend OF Cole
ridge and other men OF genius, and
one Of the most pronounced Liberals
OF his time, was the son Of tanner
His father had resolved that this lad
should continue the business, and so,
although younger brother went to
college, poor Tom was apprenticed to
the tanning trade, with the bare
equipment Of reading, writing, and
arithmetic.
But Tom hungered for an educa-
tion, and set about getting it. With
the aid Of cousin and that Of a
French refugee he learned Latin,
French, and a little Greek. AS time
went on he found that he was ignor-
ant OF practical details connected
with his trade, and so left home, and
began working under teigned name
in a large lanyard, where he could
hecome acquainted with the newest
Improvements that had been intro
duced into the business.
All his life long he sought growth

He excused himself to his COM

then exclaimed, delightedly:

Poole could be very vehement at

Even when he was a county magis-

AT EVENING TIME.
MARY RowLEs JARVIS.

ALI day the homeless mists had swept
Adown the rock.bound lea,
Der gorse-fringed hills and wales the
crept,
And tryst among the heather kept,
But now, at evening time, they slept
Upon sleeping sea.
Soft as the grey.white plumase worn
Upon a sea-bird's breast,
Or fleece of firstling newly shorn,
One drift they seemed, save where, up
borne
Though some brief rift asunder torn,
Cleaned white sail at rest.
But when the hour of sunset came,
/ Across their phantom floor,
Bright hues of crimson and of flame
The chill and pallor put to shame,
Until the mists one fire became
That burned from sky to shore.
And, tipped with gold beneath the sun,
A purple isle afar
Stood clearly out, as fearing none,
And watched the sunset triumph won,
While over it, when all was done,
Looked forth the evening star.
So, up and down the shores OF time
All day the vapors go,
They shroud our isles of faith sublime,
And round our watch-towers drift and
climb;
But when life strikes its even-chime,
Allimassed in light below,
The very mists that dimmed our way,
Suffused with heavenly CLEANS,
Shall make above the waters grey
A roseate pavement DER the bay
Towards the Island of the Day,
The haven Of our dreams

A LEGEND OF THE CKRYsANTHEMUM.

ALEGESD OF THE CRRYsANTHEMUM,
Lung Lee, nephew of the Sun and
Emperor of China, was extremely fond
of that royal flower, the chrysanthe-
mum. He showered honors upon the
person who produced new specimens,
and he had in his garden these flowers
of all tints of the rainbow save one-a
blue chrysanthemum was lacking, and
although many tried none were able 10
droduce it. The good Emperor tore
his hair with rage, beheaded a florist
or two, and finally offered a princely
reward to any one who should produce
the flower, promising to the succe ssful
one the hand of his daughter, Hi Too,
who was charming In mind as she was
beautiful in face and form. Among
her admirers was young gardener
who had charge of circle of precious
chry rysanthemums in the Emperor
grounds. He had llkened the lovely
maiden to the charming white chrysan-
themum, and had murmured words of
affection to his adored princess, who
loved him IN return. This young man
entered the lists in competition for this
coveted prize, and after long expert
menting succeeded in prouncing at
last a beautiful blue chrysanthemum
which he showed one evening to the :
princess, saying that he should present /
it to the Emperor on the following |
morning. But alasl An elderly rival |
had been watching the young lover |
with jealous eyes, and on the morrow,
when he went eagerly to pick his
treasure, he found it brokon from the
stalk and gone. The jealous rival had
Uncovered the peerless flower and had
presented it to the Emperor as his own |
production, claiming the promised re
ward. just as he did so q young man,
pale with anxiety, rushed into the EN-
peror's presence, charging that this
man had stolen his flower The rival
at once gave him the lie and the EN-
perOr trOwned upon them both. At
at last he decided that they must both
raise another flower and that which,
ever should prove an imposter should
be beheaded on the spot.
At last the day came when the tri-
1mphant lover carried to the King
another chrysanthemum, bluer and
oveIier than the last, and was re-
xarded with gracious smile from the
Emperor and the hand of the lovely
til Too. When they searched for the
rival they found that he had
stabbed himself in the midst of his
lowers in desperation and to escape
he fate awaiting him. The nuptIals of
he young lover and the beautiful Priu-
'ess were celebrated with becoming
oomp, and after a long and happy
'eign they died, the secret of the blue
'hrysanthemum dying with them.
Many are the hybridizers who have
rIed to produce 1t since but all have
,een unsuccessful.

Well Endowed.

A certain well-known surgeon 4.
ambidextrous. As Malaprop among
students once said OF him, He can
use one hand Just as we'll as the
other, and perhaps little better"
One day he was operating in a case
which required great delicacy OF
manipulation, and the students
present were overcome with admira-
tion at the calmness and dexterity
with which he shifted the instrument
from one hand to the other, and
worked with the left as we'll as with
the right
A newcomer, who had never seen
him operate, and had never heard Of
this double facility, could not control
his wonderment.
"Do you see that?" he whispered In
the ear OF fellow-student @He's
amphibiousl"

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

Judge Flandrau Stands Pat on

Dana.
To the Editor of the GLOBE.
| feel little reluctance in criticisIrg
my own reporter, but l cannot allow all
historical fact improperly stated to stand
uncorrected. In the Sundays paper of
the Goth Frank j. Mead, our Washing
ton reporter, contributes very spicy
and interesting article on "Old Set
tiers of Minnesota in Washington" He
covers, among Others, Gen. n. j. L.
Dana, who is now an officer in one of
the departments in the Capital City.
He mentions him as one of the numer-
Gus eolouels of the First Minnesota reg
iment, in which we all take such pride.
He was its second colonel, and followed
Gen. German, who took the regiment
out of the state to the war, but he
names him '.Gen. Napoleon Jerome
Tecumseh Dana" TO this l take eX-
ception. One of the Old stories Of our
Minnesota West was that Gen. Dana
was the son of an army officer who was
in command OF post in the Northwest.
He expected a birth in his family; he
gave dinner party to the officers of the
garrison, and while they were i'll session,
and probably about the hour of the
nuts and sherry, the news arrived that
it was a boy. Said one, you are
soldier, call him Napoleon" Said an
other, who was probably Democrat,
"Gen. jackson is the greatest soldier Of
the age, call him Jackson" Said an
other, You are a frontlersman, call
him Tecumseh.n The father said, "He
shall have them ALL" and so the general
got this awful name, Napoleon Jackson
Tecumseh," but let it be remembered
that he did Justice to all his ilIustrious
namesakes. We are glad to hear from
all old settlers, but we insist that we
must keep history straight. Yours,
CHARLES E. FLANDRAU, Receiver.
