"REMINISCENCES.
AN EVANSVILLE MAN TELLS A
POETIC STORY.
HotC He Walks ia the Old Paths and
Sings Of the Happy Times Of Long
Ago.

York Stevenson, author OF the following
lines, was born in Covington, KY, on March
9Th, 1888. His father, Robert H. Stevenson,
was born In Harrisburg, Pa, March 4th, lT94.
Hecame of North OF Ireland family, of which
there were several brothers. who frst landed
atBaltimore. Md, In the last half OF the eigh-
reenth century. These brothers dispersed
themse yes through Maryland, Pennsylvania
and Kentucky. One uncle, Joseph, had two
sons. Robert and John. There was also a
cousin. Stephen. All lived near or in George
town. Robert Hambieton Stevenson's mother
was Pennsylvania Dutch, and he was the only
offspring. though be had two half sisters, but
deponent cannot cali their names. He had
relatives in Pennsylvania whose family names
were, respectively. Stuart and Culbertson. He
was a volunteer in the war with England in
1872, Tor which he received land warrants and
located them in lows, where he died. The
authors mother. Elizabeth Davidson, was also
OF scotch-Irish lineage. born in Brown county,
o., in 1879, and died In Louisville, KY, and was
buried In Brown county, o., where many rela.
tives still live. Robert II. Stevenson moved TO
Maysville in 1888 from Newport, KY, on the
steamer Swiftsure, and was inspector and
weigher OF hackled hemp in the Bagging
Factory Of Shultz, Triplett & Co. In the West
end.
The author attended Public School under
the elder Richeson, and Mrs. Hays, his as.
slstant. Many incidental associations Of
school are called TO mind, and many of the
then-boys' names are still retained. He thinks
they learned to read, write and cipher, by the
double rule OF three. Pixies Arithmetic.
After the closing of the factory. As or I6,
the family moved to Cincinnati. who re
November 18th, 1865, York was married TO q
little English girl-Elizabeth BnghAm-and
they moved to Louisville in 1863. and lived
there since, with the exception of three years
The offspring of this union was six children,
two daughters and q son in Cincinnati, these
two daughters now being dead. Three
daughters we're born in Louisville, the eldest
OF whom is married and has two children.
The son and two daughters are yet at home.
Stevenson often thinks he would like to visit
the little city OF his childhood
To look upon the forms and faces,
Though wrought upon by Times hard traces;
Those boys that are old men,
To hunt for old familiar places,
Which through memory holds their graces,
But ne'er to see again.

Made Cut of 1.10O Different Pieces Of
Wood, and Valued at $>,1UO.
William L. Yale, u wealthy bach
elor, has Al cane that he carries with
him, which is undoubtedly the most
costly and unique of anything OF. the
kind in the world. The stick contains
about LOO pieces of wood. Each
piece is cut in a curious and artistic
shape, SO that the ane with the vari-
u colored and shaped woods has a
strange appearance, Mr.. Yale planned
and made the cane, and work upon it
consumed weeks Of labor at different
times in the course of several years.
Sixty of the 1, 10O pieces of wood are
of great value to relic hunters.
The head OF the cane is made from a
post in the house of Shakespeare's
birthplace at Stratford, England.
Set in the head is u small lock of
white hair from Martha Washington's
head. the lock having been given Mr..
Yale thirty years ago by Robert Z.
Lee, Il descendant OF Mrs. Washing
ton. There is IL piece of wood from
the birth-piacc Of Napoleon, OF the
island Of Corsica. and one from Ma
polcon's writing desk at St. Helena.
Other pieces cf the zane came from
the Charter Oak, from the home of
John Adams, from Il chair Of Oliver
Cromwell, from the home of john
Hancock, from the Mayaower, Roger
Williams pew, from a desk of Abra-
ham Lincoln, from u penholder of
Gladstone, from a ruler that Garfield
used at school, from q penholder of
Longfcllow, from a trunk that Lafay-
cite used during the revolutionary
war, from the bed upon which John
Wesley died and from the guillotine
upon which Louis WI. and Marie An
toinette were beheaded.
Mr.. Yale spent years and much care
in collecting the relies. He has been
offered So, 900 for the cane, which is

carried, but without once having fooled or
frustrated the speaker, who stood there the
absolute arbiter of the fate of the capital
removal bill. as cool, collected and deter
mined as Grant stood under the apple tree

floor and by his very presence inspiring
the measure. Word was passed from him
to every friend, stand firm and success is
ours"
AFTER THE BATTLE.
At the close of the session the gavel
which MIR. Williams had used to such good
purpose, was on motion of Hon. Geo. w.
Sterling of Beadle county, presented to
him; and could that inanimata piece of
walnut talk. 1t would undoubtedly make
loud complaints of the beating it had re-
ceived at the generals bands. The bill
having been passed and signed, Mckenzie
entered upon the fight of his life. He
found in Alex. Hughes an able lieutenant
and in the North Dakota commissioners
loyal supporters. With consummate skill
and a thorough knowledge of every detail,
Mckenzie planned the location of the
capital at Bismarck. 1t was not a thing
to be accomplished in a day, nor without
the most interchangeable LABOR. and discreet
manipulation. with the persuasive powers
of a suitor, the elaboration of a great
general when planning a battle on which
his future was to rest, with q presence that
at once inspired confidence and command
cd respect; without even consulting his
own townsmcn, he began the then sup
posedly impossible task Of giving to Bis
marck the honor of being the capital city.
Success crowned his efforts and today the
credit for having conceived the plan must
be giyon to McKenzie and Williams, and
for having carried thai plan to a successful
to any others. That gavel should be en-
cased in gold and deposited in the state
capital that it may be viewed by genera
tions who shall como when tho hand that
welded it has been stilled in death.
In connection with the above territorial
history there is also something which con-
Germs Mclean county citizens-as during
the session of the legislature which voted
to make Bismarck the permanent seat of
government a bill creating Mclean county
was passed-and thereby made possible
the organization of tho best adapted ter
ritory for farming and stock raising
within the borders of the state. In
Speaker f \ Williams ths bill found an
araent supporter. and it is said, that when
he arose, with tho now 'hlstoric gavel" in
hand, to favorable action on the
bill creating Mclean county a smile of
c%ontent.nent and satisfaction passed over
the genial speakers countenauce, eclipsed
by only ono during the famous Legislative
session, and that was when Bismar OK was
decided upon as the capital.

1t IS said that it is an almost GER
tain test of pure butter to melt it
and note the color and odor. A
German chemist gives the following
directions: pure fresh butter,
when melted, is perfectly clear, or
only very slightly cloudy, usually
dark yellow, and has the familiar
odor of pure butter fat, Pure stale
butter may be very cloudy and even
Opaque when melted, is usually of
dark yellow color, and has the
odor of rancid butter. Melted mar
garine, on the other hand, is very
Opaque, of light yellow color, and
has characteristic, Undesirable
odor." In addition to this, one may
try the test resorted to by experience
ed cooks: Drop bit of it upon a
very hot saucepan. Pure butter
will rise in white bubbles; margarin
melts and runs across the dish in
oily-looking streaks.
