ORIGIN OF The KINGS DAUGHTERS.
Margaret Bottomc Tells Of the Incident
That Inspired Its Beginning.

! am often asked 10 tell the first

suited in the order Of the Kings Daught-

OF the order. in the Ladics' HoTae Jour
nat. | was crossing the Atlantic
ocean. | had met on deck some young
fellows that had been tramp,ng through
Switzerland and learned they were from
some theological seminary. One morn
ing | was startled at hearing of the
death Of n of these young men. He
hal been i'll only a few DAYS, and /
learned that through his sickness. while
deliriou-, he had constantly called for
his mother. As | paced the deck In the
days that followed and looked up n the
boat that swung day after day with lis
body in it if | had only been IN a sister
hood wearing 4 badge that woull have
denoted service 20 humanity they might
have asked me If | wouid not Ike 10 see
the Young man VINO called for his
mother, for learned that no woman
had seen the youth during his illness,
and | pictured to myself how glad the
mother would have been il | could have
written TO her and told her ! had seen
her boy. Al that hour | wished foy a
sisterhood not TO be known bv any dis
tinct dress, but by some kind Of badge.
! did not speak OF ttis thought 10 any
one.
A few months passed and DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale called to see Inc on
business. A. he was passing ont he
said: Mrs. Bottomc. ! wonder yod 20
not found a sisterhood." And tie word
sisterhood took my thoughts back to
the steamer. Not many days alsr |
invited four friends Of mine who had
been associated with me. and they
came to my home, and we decided each
to invite some friend, q cUasecrated
woman. and 10 meet the week following
and there would thea be ten OF H.. and
! felt sure Dr.. Hale would lend Us MS
idea of ten times one j. ten" When
later | wrote TO him about it he an
swered. You are welcome. Mrs.. Boz
tome, TO any idea OF mine that you caa
use"
The lovely woman, Mrs. Theodore
Irving, who suggested the name for the
new sisterhood OF service. The Kings
Daughters, has passed into the bcauti-
ful beyond.
/ was made president Of the first ten
not because | was better fitted 10 be
president than some of the others pres
ent. but simply because the forming Of
such a ten was my suggestion, and
later, rs you know, the word tens
was dropped and the word Circles
substituted. In all the circles there Is
a president, a secretary, and 4 treasurer.

JOHN BURNS VISIT.

NEW YORK, Dee. Ia dispatch from
London says: There is a good deal of
talk and speculation in local labor cir
element, concerning the present Wis !
of John Burns, the labor member OF
parliament, TO the United States and
more especially regarding the source OF
the funds through which he Is enabled
to take the somewhat expensive trip
over ocean and land from London to
Denver and back again. The labor
leader himself has no means Of his own
and no resources save his small salary
from u labor union with which he
is identified. And last summer

peal for financial aid in his behalf.

wards. The total OF this fund when it
was closed OF August Is had reached
the not very startling total of Si5i,
which was paid over TO the labor leader
by Editor Reynolds. The labor clc-
merit are now asking how it happens
that II this appeal was necessary ut

would hardly seem probable, The Amer

stated in some quarters that while nom

purpose Of his trip is to investigate Mt

sized by the recent election as well as
the probability that any further at

idence, however, say they have no
knowledge that he has undertaken any
such mission.

Last Tuesday Mrs. Thompson suddenly

when Autumn Passeth by.


When purple elderberrics vie
With sumach's crimson stain,
A Hood of mellow minstrelsy
O'erhows the winding lane;
A myriad insect voices flute,
And rival threats reply.
No tree, no tiift of grass L. mute
When Autumn passeth by.
A perfume rarc--of ripening leaves
On zephyr pinlons floats,
And Oft the scent OF browning sheaves
Blends with the cricket notes;
Each hanging bough a censor swings
Beneath the dreamful sky,
And at her feet rich fragrance filings
When Autumn passeth by.
The spiders third their gossamer
With Jewels for her head;
The thistlcs strew their down for her,
That softly she may tread;
The brooklet stills its summer glee
Whenever her feet draw nigh,
And gently drones the yellow bee
When Autumn passeth by.
Strange sorceries tho spirit bind,
AAd work a haunting spell;
Weird voices echo ON the wind,
And whisper beauty's knel
AT eventidc a lonely star
Comes forth to mourn on high,
And shed It's ~quivering light afar,
When Autumn passeth by.
The sweetest song that ever flows
Hath sorrow In It, strain;
The keenest Joy that mortal knows
Is always half = pain.
So life and death combine their art.
To charm the ear aud eye,
And lovely pathos wins the heart
When Autumn passeth by.
