WHEN HE BROUGHT THE BLACK SILK.

The One Thing In Life For which Mrs.
Young Longed Came Too Late.
II WAS no very exacting ambition that
Robert Young's mother had cherished
all her life. She lived very quietly on
the western prairie farm to which she
and her husband had gone together
when they were both young. She did
not expect to be rich or even think about
it. She was content with the homely
round of her daily life. Sometimes her
husband used to say that if they had
only happened to go here or there, where
some of the friends of his youth had
iound copper or silver, or struck oil, they
also might have been worth millions, but
the wife always answered.: at want to
be, John;it want to be. And we've done
pretty we'll, as things go, but should %
like one good black silk dress"
This was the only wish that Robert
Young had ever heard his mother ex-
press. and he used to say to himself when
he was boy:
"Bless the dear motherl She shall have
it the very first money earn"
Roberts father, too, planned in his
own mind the same thing, but one year
the harvest turned out badly, and en-
other the children had diphtheria, and 30
it was that the good black silk had never
been bought.
1t was q strange thing that the son Of
John and Rachel Young should have
been an artist. But Robert began to
draw before he could write, and at last
he got hold of box of colors through
the kindness of one of his Sunday school
teachers, and then he made pictures that
dazzled the eyes of his prairie neighbors.
AS he grew older he got orders for
portraits from proud parents who were
willing to give IS for a daughters or a
sons likeness, and he saved these small
sums until by the time he was IS he had
enough money to take him to Boston.
where he hoped to find q good teacher
and to do something really worth while
His struggle in the city was hard
enough to begin with. Every snowstorm
was friend to him, for wherever he
shoveled off steps and sidewalk they
were sure to want him again. he did his
work so cheerfully and SO well.
He paid for his lessons by taking care
of the studio of the artist under whom
he studied. He was ready to do any
honest thing to earn an honest penny,
and at last, even in Boston, people found
out that he had special talent Of his
own and began to buy his pictures.
There were SO many things at first to
do with the money that he earnedi He
must have a little studio of his own
where people could come, and it would
not answer for the artist who had his
own studio to live like the youth who
used to shovel off sidewalks. He did not
forget the good black silk dress or the
mother who was to wear it; he only
waited.
At last came q spring when he had
been fairly prosperous, and he planned
10 90 home for his mothers birthday in
August and to carry the dress with him
but just then he received an invitation
that fiattered him. His former teacher
was going to Ipswich for a summer OF
sketching and asked Robert to 20 witt
him.

grateful men and women gave Of the work
of their hands in honor of him whose arm
had snapped their chains asunder, and the
resulting funds were used to purchase the
group which portrays in bronze the figure
of Lincoln and the genuine gratitude of
those whom he had lifted out of the miry
clay of slavery. It has been one of the
most appropriate concentrations of the
day to have that statue decorated and to
make 1t the central figure of an assemblage
gathered together to hear once more the re-
cital of history of which the grateful listen
ers were never weary. Thursday number
of the faithful journeyed to the old rendez-
vous and awaited the opening Of the pro-
ceedings which custom had taught them
might be expected. Some Of the pilgrims
came from Virginia. some wandered In
from Maryland some live in the city. Many
of them had given their mite toward the
statue fund. and all of them revered the
memory of him who was yesterday neg
lected so far as the official program was
concerned. There was not even wreath
at the foot of the PEDESTAL.
The tendency toward forgetfulness Of
large proportion of those who are. directly
or Indirectly the beneficiaries Of Lincoln's
philanthropy Is to be deplored.

A Great Work BefNe Done

Washington undoubtedly lacks many
things mere or less essential to its well
fare, but the number of these decreases
steadily. One of the desirable necessities
not now in existence is a code of laws ap-
plicable to the District of Columbia, but
that deficiency will before long cease to
exist. thanks to the combined efforts Of the
Board of Trade, the District Bar AsSocia-
ton and Justice Cox of the District bench
This practical movement toward codifica-
ton originated with the Board of Trade, a
public meeting being held under its aus
p:ces. at which able speeches describing
the condition of the local statutes were
made and a special committee to push the
cod.fication movement to success was ap-
pointed. The attention of the Bar Associa-
ton was then directed to the matter. and
a result of the Harmonious energies Of
the two organizations Justice Cox was pre-
vailed upon to apply himself to the respon-
sble task of codifying the greatest tumble
of legislative eractments that ever cor
fused the practice of law in any one COM
munity on the face Of the earth. The mag
nitude of the undertaking must be recog-
niZed and a considerable period of time
must elapse before Washington will see the
fruit of j. dye Cox's labors. Vast quaint
ties of material must be carefully scruti-
n:zed and every possibility of error guarded
against, but in the results there will be
liberal reCompe1se for the expenditure Of
energy.
