I saw her go. watched her as she
endeavored to spread the parachute. But
in vain. heard her shrek of despair
as she shot downward kept my eyes
riveted on her until she faded away in
the distance.
A thought struck me. l could descend
and see what had become Of her. Spring
ing to the side Of the basket, pulled
the lever, but it failed to respond. Again
and again did I pull, but it was useless.
Frantically pressed large button
at my side. A dull roar seemed to issue
from the inflated part of. the balloon
roar that gradually became deafening.
Slowly the balloon started to sink,
gradually gaining speed as it descended.
1t now shot so rapidly that certain de-
struction seemed to await me below.
Crossing to the other side, | peered
below. Heavens, the housetops could
now be plainly distinguished in the soft
gray light of dawni One house stood up
boldly above the others. 1t was the
house in which lived, and if the bal
loon could not be checked 1 should fall
right on it.
| looked over again, and this time the
houses appeared to be very short dis
lance away. Gould nothing be done2
No. The machinery still maintained its
rigidness
l closed my eyes and awaited the end.
There was dull, rasping sound as the
balloon struck the roof of the house,
and
Charlie, are you going to work this
morning?'
1t was my roommate's voice. Had
been dreaming? Well, 1 guess that was
about the size Of the whole adventure.

His Political Career.
first made the acquaintance of Mr..
1866. He was then beginning his Sec
ond term in the house. At that time 1
owned and edited country newspaper
in General Garfeld's district. One day
in the fall Of 1855 Garfield wrote me to
come up to his hilltop home in the little
college town of Hiram. He told me that
he thought it would be good thing for
young newspaper man to study nation
al politics in Washington and get 40
quainted with national men, and that
he would undertake to get me a clerk
ship in the house Of representatives. In
due time he spoke to his old friend,
General Robert @. Schenck, who was
chairman Of the committee on military
affairs, and the result was was given
the elerkship Of that committee.
Colfax was speaker Of the house, and
for some reason or other he seemed to
have little liking for the ambitious
young member from the Augusta dis
trict of Maine, for he appointed Blaine
to position near the foot Of that COM
mittee. Now, Blaine had not served in
the army and had no knowledge Of mil
itary legislation and no taste for that
kind of work. He used to be a country
editor himself, and he appeared to take
fancy to the young clerk from Ohio
He would often drop into the committee
room, and, standing before the wood
fire, would talk freely to me about his
newspaper and political career and his
plans and hopes for the future
remember that be said one day: 81
do not like this military committee
business and ought not to be here. Next
congress am going to be on the COM
mittee on appropriations or ways and
means. Financial questions will soon be
the dominant ones in congress Two
years later expect to be chairman Of
my committee. Then think l shall be
speaker of the house and after awhile
hope to go to the senate.
Everything came about exactly as he
planned. He had wonderful prescience
concerning his own future, as we'll as in
relation to political events. When he
was candidte for the presidential NOM
nation in 1880, he said to me; my ca
reer has thus far closely paralleled that
Of Henry Clay. He was speaker Of the
house and then senator. His party re-
fused to nominate him as long as it had
any chance of electing a president
When it had no longer any chance, it
gave him the nomination he had SO long
sought. / believe that is going to be my
fate. Chicago Times-Herald.

fully, But all the law Depew knows
wouldn't bias him in answering any
question.

club, a week afterward, Depew happen

rest, but just before he left he leaned
forward, with his hand over his mouth,
and whispered to me:
The story is all right, Eli, but if
you won't tell it any more in New York
I'll give you an annual on the road.
Mr.. Evarts for years sent half bar

historian, with characteristic note
No one ever read these notes but Ban

found these notes from Evarts, tied up
with red tape by the hand of the dead

The IconOcIast Throws q Big Stone at
Boston's Famous Parsonage.
Iconoclastic Boston has decided that
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
the respectable Mrs. Elizabeth Goose,
whom legend credits with the compost
ton of all those sprightly lyrics in
which, for no very good reason, chill
dren are supposed to take such delight,
had no more right to place among
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.
The 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 out of mind a character in
French fairy tales. The name first APP
peared in English in 1920, when the
prose "Contes de ma mere roye" 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 1896 he
utilized the trade name by printing as
companion book Mother Goose
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 g Francis of Boston about 1926,
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 probabil-
ity, and has since been repeated, gain
ing imaginary details at every stage. =

A way of serving carrots is the fol-
lowing, evolved by cook DESTROYS, as
all cooks should be, of something
new" The vegetable is scraped, diced
and boiled till tender. Meanwhile a
slice of onion is Drowned in table
spoonful of butter. With this one table
spoonful of -four is rubbed smooth and
stirred until the -four is cooked. Then
one cup of tomato juice, not heated, Is
added to the mixture with half tea
spoonful Of salt and dash of pepper.
The whole is stewed together three or
four minutes before being strained over
the carrots, which have been drained.
This dish is much more palatable than
the creamed carrots because it adds a
needed flavor and is none the harder to
prepare than the better known prepare
tion. New York Post

RIGHT WILL PREVAIL.

There is not on this old earth
A country so near
To our hearts fond affection
AS America dear.
We SO cherish her honor,
Her freedom, her fame,
We would leave not one stain
To ever tarnish her name.
Yet such evil exists which,
If not brushed away,
Must sully her splendor f.
At some future day,
For the rich in their power,
Their pride and their greed
Are fast crushing the poor,
Who are weak and in need.
But the fact that the yoke
OF injustice and wrong
Has been put by the will
OF The rich and the strong
On the neck of the laborer,
Poor and obscure,
Is forth waited by breezes
That can but endure.
And those breezes of censure.
OF sympathy, love,
VIII pass still on their course,
Given power from above,
Till the darkening miseries
Shall scatter and flee,
Like the mist clouds before
The bright sun in his sea.

In many cases productiveness appears

ANCIENT CORPORATIONS.
Trade Monopolies That Were Almost Saw

Trade Monopolies That Were Almost Saw
age In Their Operation.
Apprentices became no better than
serfs and slaves. They were not merely
pitilessly fined and brutally punished,
they were often left in ignorance of the
craft that they had purchased the right
to learn. In that frightful social and
moral revulsion following the long and
devastating wars Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries the corporations
became more determined than ever to
maintain their industrial aristocracy
and monopoly. They refused to admit
any trade less ancient and honorable
than their own to the rights and privi-
leges Of the law; they soiled themselves
by contact with no person Of illegiti-
mate birth; and in their savage and re-
lentless pursuit Of persons engaged in
unauthorized traffic they invaded the
homes Of contraband workmen, confs-
eating both their tools and the hidden
products of their toll, leaving them and
their families destitute and starving
To such absurd lengths was the crea-
ton Of corporations carried for the pro-
duction of new taxes and new places for
court favorites that occupations like the
teaching Of dancing, the selling of flow
ers and the catching of birds were or
ganized, and homogeneous occupations
! like the hatmakers' and carpenters
were divided and subdivided beyond the
comprehension of the modern mind.
But despite the ingenuity Of lawyers
and the vigilance of armies Of inspect
ors the lines of demarcation could not
be drawn so sharply as to avoid con-
f1icts of interests. The makers Of felt
hats quarreled with the makers of cot
ton hats. The spinners who had pur-
chased the right to use hemp quarreled
with those that had purchased the right
to use fax. The shoemakers fought
with the cobblers that reproduced more
than two-thirds of an old shoe. The cut
lers that made the handles Of knives
fought with those that made the blades.
The relations of the makers of wooden
porringers and the makers of wooden
spoons were equally belligerent =
