The Fairy Sisters.

There was once little maiden,
And she had a mirror bright;
1t was trimmed about with silver
T was her pride and her delight.
But she found two fairy sisters
Lived within this pretty glass,
And very different faces showed,
To greet the little lass.
If she was sweet and sunny,
Why, it was sure to be
The smiling sister who looked out
Her happy face to see.
But if everything went criss-cross,
And she wore frown or pout,
Alas! Alas! within the glass
The frowning one looked out.
Now this little maiden loved so much
The smiling face to see,
That she resolved with all her heart
A happy child to be.
To grow more sweet and loving,
She tried with might and main,
Till the frowning sister went away,
And ne'er came back again.
But if she's looking for a home,
AS doubtless is the case,
She'll try to find little girl
Who has gloomy face.
So be very, very careful,
If you own a mirror too,
That the frow ming sister doesn't come
And make her he me with you.

The Blue=Bird.

A CLINT of blue fits meath the sky,
Amid the merry May-time;
A living gem, light-winged and shy,
Enjoying its brief play-time.
Now perched upon an alder-spray
That bends beneath its ightness,
1t gives unto the dewy day
A soft and sudden brightness.
And from its little throbbing throat
Comes "twitter, twitter, twitter!"
A sweet, swift, slender note,
But never one that's bitter.
A CHEEKY voice that tells of Spring,
At rosy dawn and after;
The busy Blue bird carolling
A song Of love and laughter.

RECEIVER FOR L. MERRITT
Asked for by the st. Paul National
Bank, and Granted.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec 27.-Judge
Cant, of the district court, today grant
ed the application Of the st. Paul Ma
tional bank that a receiver be appoint
ed for Leonidas Merritt. Mr.. Merritt
is one Of the brothers that figured SO
prominently a few years ago in the
case against John D. Rockefeller. Some
time ago the st. Paul bank secured
judgment against Leonidas Merritt. He
failed to satisfy the judgment and was
called before a referee, appointed by
the court, to take disclosure as to his
possessions. In the Rockefeller case 1t
Will be remembered that the oil king
settled for half million dollars. and
during the disclosure proceedings Mer-
rift swore that he did not know what
became Of the money that was received
from Rockefeller nor what his share
had been. The application for re-
ceiver was based on the report of the
referee, which was read during today's
proceedings. Who the receiver will be
is not known, as the st. Paul bank did
not mention any one in its written ap-
plication and no names were mentioned
during the hearing. Just a short time
ago another of the Merritt brothers as
signed for the benefit Of his creditors,
and at once left the state and has taxi
en- up his residence in Nebraska. Dur
ing all the time it was supposed that
all the brothers were n the same boat,
but within the past month the third
one has discharged every Judgment
that existed against him and is suppos-
ed to be free from debt.

several hours yesterday. The Seattle
chief has been visiting IL Greenfield,
Ind.
my trip was taken at this time"
he stated, because do not expect to
be able for several months TO again
leave Seattle. Already there are from
1900 to 5000 Klondike people In the
city, and mixed among them are quite
q number Of thieves. After the first Of
the year we expect the real rush will
begin, compared with which the pres
ent Is as nothing.
1.-THE Klondike travel is proving a
great thing for Seattle. Houses which
have been vacant for years are now
filed and bring good rentals. The
merchants are doing rushing bust
ness, the streets are crowded and there
Is fully as much push as there was dur
Ing the old days when the entire West
was booming. During the first months
Of this travel we have been exceedingly
lucky in catching the thieves who have
perpetrated all the big jobs. but we
fully expect to have them reap a har-
vest from the unsophisticatcd who
have money ard are starting for the
Klondike."
