The parting between Thomas Wilson
and Esmeralda Kilduff one night last week
was an unusually prolonged one. She had
accompanied him as far as the front gate,
and that is where the prolongation oc-
Cured. 1t was fine night, and they
stood together in silence, neither wishing
to break the spell that hung over them.
Idon't know how long they would have
stood thus had not clock in church
tower not far away announced the hour of
midnight, and then Esmeralda said she
had better go in.
Thomas offered no objection to this, but
proceeded to say something which he had
been trying to get courage enough to say
for several months. When he had said it,
he felt startled at his boldness, and yet it
was but natural that such question
should follow the intimacy which had ex-
listed between the two for more than
year. What he said was this:
"Esmeralda, dear, will you marry meS"
He waited for an answer-and he waited
in vain. Esmeralda said not word. He
could not see her face, and was therefore
unable to judge from her expression what
was passing in her mind. AS the seconds
dragged on he grew intensely anxious. He
ought to have regarded his case as won,
because silence gives consent, but this did
not occur to him. The silence grew op-
pressive, and he felt that she must answer
him or he must die.
Esmeralda, he said hurriedly, 81 am
waiting for your answer"
"Oh, forgive me, Tom; I was thinking. !"

wedding dress made, dear. "-Pearson's 8

Bonheur's First Painting.

"We had gone back to live in the Rue
des Tournelles, Paris writes Rosa
Bonheur in The Ladies' Home Journal.
"The garret of the house had been ar
ranged as a kind Of studio, and while
my father was running to the four cor
ners of Paris to give drawing lessons I
worked alone as best I could. One night,
when he returned home after his days

painting after nature, a handful of cher

future you must work seriously. From
that time on copied plaster casts, en-

how much more agreeable found the
work than did studying grammar and
arithmetic!

the Louvre. My costume and independ-
ent ways gained for me the nickname

of the galleries. My breakfast usually

aFways treated her well, and that only one
editor bad ever acted coldly toward her,
and that he had been punished by being
defeated through her influence ON two oo-
casions when he had been a candidate for
congress. For long time she remained
in Washington, where she wrote verses and
endeayored to advance her claims for the
Iaureateship. Then she returned to Penn
sylyania, where she spent most Of her time
selling her photographs and verses. For
the last year she had made scanty living
by travelling over the country on foot sell
ing medicines which she compounded.
While on one of these tours recently she
was allowed to ride on farm wagon. The
horses became frightened and ran away,
throwing her to the ground and inficting
injuries from which she died.
Mrs. Kelly was comely in appearance
and always dressed neatly. Her character
was above reproach. Her memory was re-
markably good and she had good knowl-
edge of the Scriptures. She frequently
spoke at public meetings and was rational
on all subjects except the two toward
which she devoted the greatest efforts of
her life-political office and literary recog-
nition-neither of which she ever had the
slightest chance of gaining.
Her original plea for appointment is en-
bodied in the following verses, which were
written some years before she succeeded in
persuading member of congress to pre-
sent her case to that body:

William W. Clay of Chicago has started
a crusade of courtesy by issuing the fol-

crusade of courtesy. The tendency of men

to stand is growing to such an extent that
even the presence of elderly and feeble
women is gradually being ignored. 1t is

growing and humiliating evil. 1t is also

Hawaii.

There are many signs indicating that
Immediately after the Inauguration Of Mr..
Mckinley as president of the United States
another attempt will be made to effect in
hot haste the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to this republic. In anticipation of
this attempt, twill be well for the Ameri-
can people to consider calmly and soberly
how their interests would be affected by
the consummation of this scheme Let US
assume, for the sake of argument, that we
can have the Hawaiian Islands as part of
this Union If we want them, and that we
can get them without any serious opposi-
tion on the part of any one of the great
powers of the world. The question is
whether we should take them under these
circumstances. What will follow if we do2

our continental stronghold. We have al
ways been proud of the advantage we had
over other nations in needing only a small
standing army and navy for our defense

tant from our Pacific coast. II we annex
them, they will be part of the territory of
the United States, and in case of an en-
broilment with any foreign power will

quire not only large and costly fortifca

themselves, but also, to maintain them and
our communication with them, very much
larger naval and military establishments
than we now have. In other words, we

THE BARD OF ,SHANTY HILL.
Poor Sarah Ulrich Kelly and Her Quest
For the Laureateship.

For the LaureateSh1p.
In pouring rain and with the impress
lve ritualistic ceremonies of the Grand
Army of the Republic Circle, the body Of
the woman who was known for years as
the Bard of Shanty Hill was laid away a
few days ago in the old Methodist oeme-
terry near Honesdale.
The woman's name was Sarah Ulrich
before she married Horace j. Kelly, and
her petition to congress for the place Of
poet laureate made her the subject Of dis
cussion in January, 1885, and for a long
time after that She based her claims to
the position of poet laureate upon the facts
that she was endowed with the requisite
poetic knowledge and inspiration, and that
she was the widow of a soldier who lost
not only his life, but fortune, in the de-
fense of his country. Besides her husband,
she had lost her father, brothers, brother
in-law, cousins and uncles, and in her pc
tition she said that she regretted that she
had not been born man, so that she
might have taken active part in the cause
of the Union.
Her husband had been member OF the
One Hundred and Seventy seventh Penn
sylvania volunteers, but his enlistment
was not voluntary act, as he had been
drafted into the service shortly after hay-
ing married Miss Ulrich, who was school
teacher at that time He died in 1876,
after having been separated from his wife
for several years Then the widow began
to food the newspapers with her "poetio"
writings and to haunt their offices, where
she asked support and encouragement IN
her scheme which had the position Of
American laureate as its object She was
persistent and had an unbounded conf
dence in her ability some day to reach the
goal OF her ambition, and only recently she
promised rewards to people who befriended
her and said that she would do this or that
when President Mckinley had appointed
her to cabinet place or when she became
member of congress.
She was fond Of telling to those who
would listen to her that newspaper mon
