HER BABY.

/ have friend of school girls days,
Those days of joy,
Who owns a most enhancing craze,
Her baby boy.
She plans his future fortunes prize.
Despite his youth,
And shows me, with 'aXultant eyes,
His latest tooth.
She cares no more for novels new;
With manner bland
She calls my kind attention to
His dimpled hand,
She asks me what | really think
About his nose.
And should they be so very pink,
The baby's toes?
I tell her of the latest play;
Her eyes grow dina;
She interrupts me for to say
It looks like him
She pats the fluff uoon its head,
And gets a scare
1t surely can't be growing red
The baby'S hairE
Of art | speak; she looks away
With hurt surprise;
For are they blue or IRE they gray,
The baby's eyes?
And if | venture to suggest
That he's all right,
She'll clasp him fondly to her breas
So close and tight.
And then, in that superior way
That tries one SO,
She'll frown and smile at me and say
That's all you know"

VANDERBILT AS A LANDOWNER.

George Vanderbilt has just purchased
the beautiful and historic Paul Gamer
on estate near Asheville, n. c., for S75.-
900. Paul Cameron in his time was
the wealthiest man in that state and
his property in western North Carolina
is very valuable. This purchase will
make Mr.. Vanderbilt one Of the great
est, if not the greatest, landowner in
North Carolina. 1t is rumored, how
ever, that this last purchase is for
some wealthy New York friend or
friends who propose to build costly
villas in this fine mountain region. as
Mr.. Vanderbilt has done. Mr.. Wander
bit has his chateau and hunting pre-
serves, and his new purchase is very
likely for some of his friends, as he
is not a land Spectator. His several
purchases, it is said, have greatly en-
HANGED the value of the Land Of the
Skies

THE MODERN CONFUSION CURE.
AS 1t Strikes The Imprint Newspaper
of Petaluma Cal

In the Mississippi valley fifty years
ago anu upward there was a school
of medical practitioners who were or
believed themselves to be capable of
curing any human malady if they could
by any means get it to take the form
Of commissions. In their own homely
but not inexpensive backwoods Ian
guage they were n on fits" They
were the immediate successors of the
phlebOtomy school, one of whom killed
George Washington by bleeding him
five times the last day he lived, though
his complaint was nothing worse than
a simple cold. They would even, and
perhaps more properly than in most
cases, tap vein in the arm to relieve
a nose-bleed.
But this is a DEPRESSION. These old
Mississippi fellows could not cure
toOthache, relieve the pain of a boil or
remove a Wart without throwing the
patient into fits. But if they could eff
feet that end they would guarantee,
and if need be put up good security to
"cure or kill" And they never failedl
And as experts in the art of throwing
fellows into fits they established a
record that neved has been broken and
never will be. They are suspected of
having invented the green cucumber.
They were, above all men, "the friends
of the watermelon" They cultivated
and fostered, if they did not create,
the habit of eating cherries and drink
ing milk simultaneously. At any rate
they seldom missed fire in converting a
slight arrangement of the liver, or
hacking cough, or the pain from an
ingrowing nail into all the symptoms
of violent strychnine convulsion, and
then they had him where they wanted
him. It was a sure case of kill or cure.
In their wake was an occasional cOnst-
tuition that Weathered the storm, and
many graves and physical wrecks.
These old fellows have quit the medi-
cal profession and have passed to the
other side Their theory and practice
survive, but have passed into another,
a more congenial and a more profta-
bic field. They have gone into politics.
Drs. Teller, Jones, Stewart, Wolcott
and blood to horses brides" Waite
are the expert practitioners. The coun-
try is all right SO long as they can
keep it enjoying a succession Of none
tary fits and silver rahlcs. But they
have improved upon the old-time Miss
ssippi valley medical cucumber propa-
gators. The old-timers would either
cure a fellow or let him die. But these
moderns will only consent to cure OF
one fit by throwing the patient into
another.
And now we find them foaming and
rothing, breathing stertoriOusly, spit
ing white metal in all directions,
md swearing by all the gods that the
0atient-dear old Uncle Sam-shaH
nave no relief from the Sherman fit
II misfit-until he has been provided
With a substitute" They are more
ruel, less merciful than their progeni-
ors-they have perpetuated the fit
ystem" without it's redeeming feature;
hey will neither kill or cure.

Yesterday l met a most charming
little French lady from Paris who had
Il great deal to do with the gathering
together of the work of the women Of
France to be exhibited at the fair
1t seems that when some time ago a
request was made by u committee that
the books which were sent to the IL
brary in the Woman's building be
presented to the permanent library this
lady sud, with sort Of a flash in her
pretty eyes, that she for one did not
like to ask any more favOrs Of the wo-
men of France, that she personally was
not at all satisfied with some things.
In regard to the books she said.
1t would have been quite lis well if
they had remained on the other side
Of the Atlantic, for | am told that they
are kept under lock and key, and that
the visitors to the library in the wo-
mans building are never allowed to
touch a book. They can only look at
the covers and read the titles through
the glass. | am sure that the authors
of the books that we sent from France
would have been very glad to have
talked with the people of America
through their books, and would never
have regretted that books were worn
out when the fair was over.

UPON AFFLICTION.

Truth: Forrester-'I hear your g.

Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1893-10-19

This outburst Of feeling on the part
of the pretty foreigner had been
brought out by one having heard &C
cidentally Of a small fire that is smoi-
dering slowly and surely under the
feet Of the famous woman's committee
ON awards, and which is liable to break
out soon into bright, glowing flames.
They do say-and they say it aw-
fully loud and long-that, regardless of
the fact that the board, the whole
board Of lady managers, voted to for
ever lay aside and expunge from the
records the fact that letter was writ
ten to the president asking for the
resignation of pretty Mrs. Ball as sec
rotary. and that the letter itself was
withdrawn-theys say that after Mrs.
Ball returned to her home and after
there were not enough of the committee
in town to make a quorum, the minutes
of a meeting were forwarded to her, in
which said Mrs. Ball was summary
deposed from her position as secretary
of the committed And for the same
reasons which had been eXpunged
from the records!
That is a part Of the fire that is max
ing a smudge. Another part is-and
the part that will probably cause the
tongues of fame to shoot through the
smoke-that Mrs. Meredith, who is
chairman of the committee, has gone
ON appointing judges without any con-
vening of the committee: To appoint
judges without the personal co-opera-
ton of the whole committee is naughty.
and is illegal.
And then-and then the worst of this

I'VE sent to the exposition Il large
exhibit. We included all kinds of
feminine work and took great care to
cOndenSe the articles, which was a ser
iOuS task. SO far as | have studied the
different exhibits [ am sure that we
are the only ones VINO carried out to
the letter the full instructions of the
programme. But we had great trouble
in procuring sufficient space, though
we were negotiating for eight or ten
months previous to the time of ship
ment. [ have no desire to make COM
plant, and do not, but there are some
things [ cannot help but notice: Our
fine statistics, whose import the Ameri-
can commission do not seem to have
understood, have been relegated to the
simple rank of mural decorations.
Again in the opening address the name
Of France was not even mentioned. All
other countries were praised, all SOW
ereigns named, congratulations were
sent to different courts, even to Siam
and Japan, but the name of France
was not pronounced: not one a1lusion
vas made to the French committee nor
to Nine CarnOt-the French exhibit
was entirely ignored.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1893-10-19

The Paris newspaper correspondents
in their dispatches, on the opening day,
noticed this omission, and the dis
satisfaction was very great. The com
mittee in France who had worked so
hard was very much hurt and all the
exhibitors have asked the reason of
this strange silence. We tried to pass
it over as a simple omission or a mis-
take in the cablegrams, which we really
believed We did not suppose for one
minute it was thus that the president
and Nine. CarnOt and the French COM
mittee could be thanked for the beauti-
full exhibit sent over to the fair. I'm
fortunately the pamphlet which was
received afterWard containing the diff
ferent speeches made at the Inaugural
ton has destroyed that illusion, and it
was and we say it openly, with great
emotion and discomfort that we learned
of this singular neglect with respect
to the French committee. We have
heard there have also been some dis
orders given, and a desire of each to be
foremost in the woman S building.
This amused us but did not surprise us
very much. Our poor human nature
is the same everywhere. 1t is difficult
to find any one wholly devoted to the
public good and perfectly willing to
efface herself for the sake of the gener-
al interest. 1t is petty egotism, and
it is miserable! With a little of that
generosity of which we hear incessant-
ly and which one never finds, and with
a few elevated ideas it would be easy
to remove all these little difficulties
and question Of rivalry of which wo
men-we must in justice to them re-
cognize the fact-have not the mono
poly, although they have the reputation
of possessing it. One must confess
also that their conduct often denotes
a narrowness of ideas which is very
sagreeable to encounter"
