If there ever was a Mother Goose with
poetical talents which isn't likely
she was not the Mother Goose buried in
that city and whose grave has for years
been haunted by sentimental, patriotic
and more or less literary visitors from
all parts of the country. 1t seems that

Americas eminent women than Jack
the Giant Killer has to be included
among our famous generals. She lived
and she died, and that, except the
names of her parents and the fact that
she had some children, is absolutely all
which is Known about her.
Tie story that she wrote, or at least
collected, the famous poems is myth
invented by one Of the presumably good
lady's descendants. "Mere pOye" was
from time cut of mind character in
French fairy tales The name first APP
peared in English in 1929, when the
prose "Contes de ma mere l'oye" were
translated as "Tales of Passed Times
by Mother Goose. This book became
the property of John Newbery of Lon
don, the famous publisher Of little
books for children, and about 1865 he
utilized the trade name by printing as
a companion book mother Goose s
Melodies. " The latter was merely a
collection of old English nursery rhymes.
From England it came to America and
was reprinted by Isaiah Thomas of
Worcester, Mass, about 1887, then by
Munroe q Francis Of Boston about 1895,
and now by every one. The fiction
about Mrs. Elizabeth Goose of Boston
was started by John Flint Eliot about
1860, utterly without proof or probable

BEN, Dec. 27.-With bent head and
faltering steps, the old year has passed
on to join the ages, carrying mingled
burden of losses and gains, joys and
sorrows, smiles and tears, sunshines
and clouds, hope and despair. As we
waved last farewell to the weather
beaten bark ,as it was launched upon the
waters of eternity, we trust none for
got to be thankful for the many bless
ings dropped at our door. Though
among the buds and blossoms We're
found some dead grasses, and inter-
spersed among the evergreens some
skeleton trees, though the brightness
of its sun was often obscured by dark
mists and black clouds, still we have
caught glimpses of crimson amid the
gray, and occasional flashes from the
silver lining have illumined our path.

Innocent Fishhooks Which Caused Whole.
sale Arrest of Voters.
During the reconstruction times in
Alabama, just after the late civil war,
all of the state and county offices were
administered by the Republicans. This
was from 1866 to 1874, when the Dem
ocrats again secured control of the gov
eminent and have held it ever since.
The election of George S. Houston,
Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one
of the hottest ever held in the state, and
many were the tricks practiced on both
sides in that election. Possibly the most
novel was device put into operation at
Mobile. Reporters were common in
those days, and this device was used by
the Democrats to catch the negroes, who
had learned the repeating trick. All of
the negroes voted the Republican ticket
then.
On the election day mentioned the
polling places were opened, and the vot'
ing commenced. The Democratic cleo
ton officers at the boxes had secured a
stock Of small fishhooks with which to
carry out their new plan. Whenever a
negro voted, an officer stuck hook in
the voters vest front, where it could be
plainly seen. After having exercised his
constitutional right Of voting, "Cuffy"
proceeded to another polling place and
sought to vote a second time. He was
thereupon arrested and put in Jail upon
a charge of fraud. The scheme worked
like a charm. By noon 175 negroes had
been arrested and jailed. The whole
sale arrests so frightened the negroes
who had not voted that they refraineS
from going to the polls that day, and
the Democrats won the election. Chi
