1 was walking up the village, when I
saw, to my dismay, that the entire gable
end of one of the cottages had fallen
bodily out, of course exposing the rooms,
both up stairs and down stairs. My first
thought was naturally for the safety of
the family, young agricultural labor
er and his wife. But there were my
friends just returning from an errand,
and this was the conversation which fol-
lowed:
80. B., what has happened to your
cottage?'
cts only the end have a-fallen out,
SIR" cheerfully.
"Only the end, but when did it hap
penn"
Last night about 1 o'clock. My
misses and I were sleepin in one of
those bedrooms, when she suddenly heard
noise. Tdo sleep very hard, sir, but at
last she woke me and said, What be
that, Bill? Oh, says I, it be this ERE
blessed end of t. house have a-fallen
out. And sure enough, so 'twere. But
then we'd been expectin of it some
time. We know he wer'n't very safe. "
''But what did you do?"
"Well, l tried to light candle, but
'twere BLOWN and rainin very hard, and
the wind blew her out every time /
lighted i'm. So we just lay quiet till
o'clock, and then we got up, for 'twere
gettin a bit publiclike.
Weren't you frightened"
"Oh, no, sir. You see we'd been ex-
pectin Of it. !"
''But what are you going to dor"
"Oh, Mr.. will send some bricks,
and he'll be built up again in day or
two"
"But you're surely not going to stay
here tonight"
"Oh, yes, sir (from the woman). Bill
says he don't want to move. I could go
down to my fathers, but I may just as
we'll sleep along with Bill"
And SO they did. A friendly neighbor
nailed up sailcloth to make their rooms
a little less 'spubliclike" and to afford
some protection from the weather, and
there they staid one more night at least,
after which some of us succeeded in in
ducing them to move until the wall of
their home was rebuilt. Spec
tator.

Child Language.

Does anybody know Of children who
today use language apart in the COM
munication of their thoughts, a language
that puzzles linguists, and yet is under
stood thoroughly by the youngsters?
There was remarkable case some years
ago in Albany. Two boys of we'll
known fainily-the father was a cele-
brated observation-disclosures they talked
together used invariably-thati is, in the
presence of other members of the family
"a language that was not to be discoy-
cred among pagan or Christian people.
The boys never gave an explanation aft
er they reached the age of 10 or 16. Up
to that age they chartered with volubil-
ity in this singular tongue. Here is an
instance that points toward the sanity
OF the theory advanced by Charles God
frey Leland in Gypsy Sorcery - az be-
lieve that company Of children left
entirely to themselves would form and
grow mp with language which in
very few years would be spoken fluent.

WHEN | WAS A BOY.
Once all things on earth

Once all things on earth
We're for pleasure md mirth.
Each morn awoke to new joy.
loved all God gave
And had nothing to crave,
In those days when was boy.
For In those sweet days
knew naught of the craze
That money has made in my brain.
loved the things pure
That will always endure
And cared not for losses or gain.
The song OF tho bees,
OF the birds in the trees,
or the brook that murmured In glee,
All entered my heart
And wore there made part
OF the anthems that life sang TO me.
BY measure of time
I am now in my prime,
With cares of life's hurry and strife,
And know that the Joy
That felt when q boy
Will never more enter my life.
When time bids me go
From the world here below
To the land of eternity's joys,
hope God above
In his infinite love
will make me Just one of his boys.

YoNKERs' STRANGE TRAGEDY.
John Andras Suggests That Anar-
chfsts Were the Criminals.

John Andrus suExests That Anar-
chists We're the Criminals.
Information of a startling character was
received by the Yonkers, N. Y, police yes
terday afternoon which may aid in the
solution Of the mystery connected with Tie
death of Hamlin Andrus.
1t was to the effect that the bomb was in
tended for John F. Andrus, brother of the
dead man, several times millionaire. Jonn
F. Andrus did not appear at the Office OF
the Chemical company yesterday morning,
as was mis- custom.
On learning of the explosion and the
death of his brother. he hurried to the po-
lice station and communicated with Cap
tain Mangin. To the captain he said that
the explosion of the bomb might nave
been the work of anarchists. and offered
an explanation for his belief About three

costed by a rather seedy looking individual,
who took him by the arm and said:

that you ought to distribute at least one
third Of what you have among the DOOR
You will either do this or there Will he
way found of compelling you to do it."
Andrus, according to his story. paid little
attention to the man at the time.
The police were Informed that Hamlin
Andrus was in the habit OF experimenting
with explosive chemicals, and several tubes
similar to that by which Andrus was kill
ed were sent to the police captain by an
unknown, who said he had made tubes OF
that nature for Mr.. Andrus. The police
are looking for that unknown This story,
however, is not believed by the dead mans
relatives or friends, who declare that ne
had never engaged in such experimentation
or shown any interest in 1t.
The theory is that bomb was placed
in a box under Mr.. Andrus desk, and that

Mr.. Andrus was a director Of the Citi-

intention of emitting Mr.. Watson's name
from the head Of the regular populist ticket
The proceedings were begun by Chairman
Breidenthal Of the populist state central
committee. The desire Of Mr.. Watson's
followers was that his name should appear
only at the head of the ticket nominated
by petition by the polting middle of the

printing OF Mr.. Watson'S name at the head
Of the electoral ticket nominated by the
democratic state convention was an at
tempt to deceive the populist voters of the
state. They alleged that while these elec-
tors pretended to represent Bryan and Wat
son. 1t was well understood that they would
vote only for Bryan and SewaIl

New Albany at 10 o'clock yesterday morn

Bloomington. AT Salem he said, In part:
MIR. Bryan has spoken with some con-

did he aTlude? These veterans who escort
ed me to this stand? That band Of Union
veterans which has recently been travelling
over the country, speaking to the people
and especially to their comrades on these
great Issues? Did he mean that gallant
man. that heroic patriot that man of Cod,
General Howard, who gave an arm to his
country in the war? Did he mean gallant
old General Sickles, who gave a leg to his
country in the war or did he mean Cor
Poral Tanner, who gave both legs to his
country in the war? Did ne mean these
men by that term of reproach-men who
have been saving the country every year
for thirty years at so much a save? Those
men, their sons, their fathers, their moth
ers. are all interested that the honor and
dignity and Just constitutional powers cf
this government shall be preserved. They
may be sneered at by the young man from
Nebraska, but they will not be frightened
by sneers-men who faced the beIchfne
mouths Of cannon that their country might
live.
Let me say in conclusion that / spent

are not going to surrender to the boy orator

much the same ground that he had In his

The Percentage Of Changes.
The analyses made of the Chicago Rec
crd's postal card vote by republicans who
felicitated themselves upon the seemingly
greater number of changes from the demo-
cratic side to the republican side have
been criticised by democrats who main
tanned that the analyses are misleading and
that the percentages and not the total
number of Yates reported and changes
made should be considered. For Instance
one democratic criticism Is as follows:
Il see one feature Of the ballot that
has vital bearing on the question. That
is the percent Of changes from one party
to the other since 1892. OF the vote as
reported III tnfS mornings 3 RECORD, out of
7,eH for Bryan, 2. 19O. or p 3-4 per cent,

Harrison In 1892. OF the 27,S13 votes for
Mckinley, 5,413. or only - 1-2 per cent,
were former democrats, and voted for
Cleveland in 1892. So far as they have
voted. it shows that three republicans
will vote for Bryan where two democrats
will vote for Mckinley
Mr.. N. B. Milliken, writing to The Star
calling attention TO the figures given in
this quotation, declares the statement to
be cunning piece of sophistry. He writes:
The correct showing is as follows:
Deduct from 79f1 votes for Bryan 2,IO
former republicans and add 5,4I3 former
democrats and you have II. I64, the whole
number of former democrats in the pos
tai card vote. Compare this with Sab
democrats who have changed to Mckinley
and you have very near SO per cent ss the
real proportion Of change from democratic
to republican ticket. On the other hand,
it is plain by the same correct process
of figuring thai the change from republf-.
can to democratic Is less than 1O Der cent"
