THE SENATOR'S COW.
Deal That Cost the Statesman Very
HEAVILY.

A Deal That Cost the Statesman Very
Heavily.
When, in a certain legislative pro-
ceeding, it was proposed to make an APP
preparation in series of expenditures
that never came 10 an end, Hon. Phi
letus Sawyer. then United States SEN
ator from Wisconsin, said that the case
reminded him of COW that he once had
on his farm. He told the story thus:
'Once, when we were living on the farm
| a man came along and wanted to buy a
certain G. w. offered him another, but
| nothing would do but the one he had
pointed out. Then told him that that
cow was one had given to my wife
and that l could not sell it without her
consent.
We'll said the man. wouldn't she
sell the cow?'
81 went into the house and asked my
wife if 1 should sell the cow
oh, yes she said, but 1 want the
money
II sold the cow for $50. gave my wife
two dollars. and said:
Call on me when you want more
Then after that, when my wife want
ed dress, bonnet, or money to get a
| wedding present. she would ask me for
some of that cow money. I had paid
her several thousand dollars of it, and
wondered when the credit would be ex-
| hausted, when we built house. Then
it had to be furnished. We figured up
what the cost would be of the things
| wanted. and found that it amounted TO
several thousand dollars. I said:
Wife. I'll pay you the balance of
that COW money. and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it,
1T was a bargain. and at last the
cow deal was over. That animal cost
| me not far from $4,000; but it was all
right."-Youth's ComDanion.

1T CANNOT BE.

1t cannot be that He who made
This wondrous world for our delight
Designed that all its charms should fade
And pass forever from our sight;
That all should wfther ard decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and its bliss.
1t cannot be that ali the years
OF toll and care and grief we live
Shall find no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads US to aspire
And struggle onward to achieve.
With every unattained desire,
Was given only to deceive.
1t cannot be that after all
The mighty conqueSts Of the mind.
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind;
That ali ourNdreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away.
All that enthral1ed this mortal frame.
Shall not return some other day.
1t cannot be that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs;
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide us as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage to Paradise.

CHAPTER III.

They had not far 10 go, but it was
rough climb. and the young mans first
words were of apology when, spring
ing TO the ground, he came back to seize
her horse by the bit and guide him up
the last few feet over an almost per-
pendicular mass of loose gray rock.
Il would have gone round by the trail
if had known it was quite so rough;
but we're all right now" he said, turn
ing to try the door of the rude hut to
which they had come. The horses
were huddled together on a small,
rhonboidal bit of ground formed at the
top of an old dump pile. which went
crumbling away in a sheer descent far
down among the trees, some of which
had been half buried in the lava-lil1e
flow. At the left yawned the mouth of
tunnel about which appeared no sign
of recent work, while the rough slab
door of the shanty was fastened by a
chain and paddock so rusted that ti;ey
seemed to have been exposed to the
storms of years. by no means daunted
by this obstacle, however, the young
man coolly caught up i jagged piece of
rock and in a moment the staple was
broken and the door thrown open.
IF you will just step inside while
run the horses into the tunnel" he
hastily advised, when he had lifted her
to the ground. Dorothy needed no
second bidding, but once within the
door she paused, peering about doubt
fully. II was nothing more than a rude

rying his hat filled with pine cones,
while he was further laden with an
armful of broken sticks. "And q fire

of more than ordinary Importance is
the fact that Beethoven first saw there
the light of day. And, to commemorate
Beethoven's claims to immortality, the
whole population of Bonn has joined for
many years.
Every summer or. late spring there is
a music festival at Bonn, occupying
about q week, during whose continu-
ance nothing but Beethoven compost
tions are rendered by the most re-
nowned instrumentalists, vocalists and
orchestras. A large chorus of male and
female voices is trained for the purpose
of taking part in these musical fetes
and this chorus is made up of the most
distinguished people of Bonn. The
compositions chosen for the occasion
are, as a matter of course, among the
finest and their manner of rendition
has become, in the course of time, so
perfect as to outvie anything elsewhere.
This year, couple of weeks ago, the
Leonore symphony, for instance. was
played with such exquisite skill and
finish. and the participants were all
such masters of their instruments, that
from all over Germany the lovers of
pure music went as to a pilgrimage.
much as is done to the Wagner perform
ances in Bayreuth.
But outside of these musical perform
ances there is Beethoven Memorial So

by visitors and admirers cucumber the
deal floor. That is all. The society;
has purchased the whole house and
maintains caretaker there who is to
show everything 10 tourists and others
who express desire.
The society is made up of the elite
of Bonn, of the wealthiest and most
cultured, with the highest provincial
officials in the directory. 1t is under
the patronage OF Empress Frederick,
and associated with her are the exc
chancellor. Bismarck, and the present
one, Hohenlohe, as well as many names
of the highest aristoeracy.
Vienna, where Beethoven lies buried
in the largest communal cemetery,
has been rather derelict in its duty OF
taking care of the remains and of the
grave. 1t was not many years ago that
the exact burial spot of three great
musicians-Mozart. Haydn. Schubert
had to be determined at the cost OF
much trouble and pains, they being
also near the grave of Beethoven, and
il was with some difficulty that
Beethoven's last resting place was dis
covered and suitably cared for. Vienna
has always been careless of its dead
even of its great dead-there are toe
many of them in the Viennese GENE
teries-and a large and bustling- city,
with its myriad of interests and its
numberless cares of the hour, has al
ways been rather ungrateful to the
great men who. died within it's shsd-
ows. The smaller towns, whose peopfs
feel personal pride in every point OF
interest, are more considerate and more
thoughtful of their dead, as is seen
notably in the case OF Weimar and its
tributes In bronze and stone to Schiller
and Goethe. who were denizens of that
quaint, pleasant town.
Part and parcel of the Beethoven
cult in Bonn is the memorial museum
existing in the Beethoven house. That

ing interest. It contains a unique cox
lection of manuscripts and of original
scores by the composer. Many OF these
show the corrections, two or three
times made in some instances, in the
nervous, Grabbed writing of Beethoven.
There are some among them that were
written after he had become deaf, and
as the deafness increased-the dates
bring that out plainly-the corrections,
too, increased. Besides, there are hun
dreds of letters from him and to him.
letters written when a boy, a youth, a
young man and a soured, cynical old
man. These letters alone tell the whole
story of Beethoyen's life, of his lonely,
lcveiess life, of the sting of betrayal by
nephews and friends. But there is also
a diary, which, If it ever got into the

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in
177O. His genius was very early dis

Especial Berlin letter.
Genius is honored everywhere. The
birthplace and the grave of great
poet, hero, musician, philosopher or
any human mind of unusual brilliancy
and permanent worth to mankind,
these are, to every normally consti-
tuted being, hallowed places, spots of
interest to the tourist from afar, TO the
student of human nature. and to the
lover of his kind. A perennial hegira
is taking place from all over the globe
to that worn slab in Stratford-on-Avon
on which the pilgrim is implored to
'forbear" disturbing the bones of the
divine William. But nowhere else, be-
lieve, is this praiseworthy sentiment
put into such system and crystallized,
so to speak, as in Bonn, the birthplace
OF the greatest musician the world ever
saw, Ludwig van Beethoven. Bonn is
city we'll worth seeing in itself.
Though in the main it gives the impress
sion Of q rather modern city, yet it is
one of the oldest in Germany. 1t
was a place of Importance in the
early Roman times, and forth
fled and castellated camp of n le-
gion was maintained there as early
as the birth of Christ. Its very na;le is
of purely Roman origin. Up to 1894
Bonn was the see of the archbishop of
Cologne. Now it holds one of the best
universities of Germany, and there is
considerable wealth, industry and cul-
ture stored up within its walls. But
what makes Bonn to the world at large
