WHAT MIGHT BE DONE"

What might be done IL men were wise!
What glorious deeds, my firing brother.
Would they unite
In love and right,
And cease their scorn Of one another.
All slav'ry, warfare, lies and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together,
And fruit and corn
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The mesnest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrows,
Might stand erect
In self-respect,
And share the teeming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done
And more than this my suf ring brother;
More than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
If men were wise and loved each other.

Did Not Know His Daughter.

A few days ago was waiting in the
Grand Central station when I was un-
consciously made q witness Of quite a
romantic meeting. As the passengers
from the train came filing along the
platform 1 spied among then General
sickles. who was returning home from
a speechmaking tour. As he neared
the waiting room a young girl Of Span
isb type, of beautiful face and figure,
brownish-black hair and deep black
eyes, fringed with long, curly eyelash-
es. stepped forward and exclaimed in
a sweet, well-modulated voice: rs this,
not General Sicklesw He bowed and
nnswered, 'It Is" Thereupon the
young woman, looking him straight in
the eyes, exclaimed with merry laugh,
which revealed tive rows Of perfect
teeth: Don't you know me?" The
general, again bowling and this time
also smiling, said: Pardon, but must
confess and also regret that you have
the advantage" The young girl, not
a bit 'nazed," looked at the general
affectienately and replied: "Leok at
me. Don't you know your daughter
Eda?" 1t was Miss Eda Sickles, who,
with her brother Stanton, had but n
few days previous arrived from Spain.
They had come to visit their father and
arrived while he was away. Asoer-
tanning the Gay and the hour when he
was expected, they had gone to the
station to meet and surprise him As
Miss Sickles is now about 10 years o.
ago, and as her father had not seen her
since she was years old, 1t Is not
strange that at first meeting he did not
recognize her. She 10 his daughter by

1onces. Fence in the World.

The longest fence in the world is
probably that which has just been fin
lshed by the Erie Cattle Company along
the Mexican border. 1t is seventy-hve
miles in length, and separates exactly
for its entire distance the two repub-
Hes of North America. The fence was
built 10 keep the cattle from running
across the border and failing easy prey
to the Mexican eow-punchefS. Al
though n cost them great deal OF
money, IL Is estimated that cattle
enough will be saved in one year more
than to pay fer 1t. 1t rs barbed-wire
fence, with mesquite and cottonwood
poles, and for the entire length 1t runs
as the crow flies.

A well known authority gives the fol.

place Of shelter: The moment he finds
his strength failing, he should look cut
for . snow drift, sheltered from the
wind BY a hill, or some other object,
and at once scrape a hele in 1t large
enough for his body and then crawl tn
to It The snow will shelter him from

Why Do Your Skates e'ipf
Why do your skates slip on ice? Glass
Is just as smooth, but you couldn't pos
sibly skate on it. If you doubt 1t. try
your skates on a piece OF glass and see
whether or not they will slip.
The reason why ice is slippery and
glass is not is very simple. Ice always
melts a little under pressure and fric-
ton. When the steel of the skate
touches 1t little water is formed. and
this acts as oil between the skate and
the ice, and the skater slips merrily
along. The expression in regard to
glare ice, IFS as slippery as If it had
been creased" is not far wrong. On
glass this liquid lubricator is lacking,
and the friction between the skate and
the glass renders slipping impossible.
Put two pieces Of glass together. with
a few drops of water between them.
and see how easily they will slip about
,ne over the other.

Caught by a Button.

Recently a small boy who wore a coat
with brass buttons went down to the
pond with his older sister and her
cousin, who were going to skate.
The small boy felt very much injured
because he could not skate, too. so he
lay down fiat on his face, on the ice,
and began to cry. His sister FASTENED
TO him. and tried to make him stand,
but he refused to do so. being Of an OBJ
stinate disposition. Finding that her
rntreaties were of no avail, she left MIN
for a moment. and when she returned
he was trying to get up. but could not.
One of his brass buttons was frozen in
the ice!
A crowd Of curious skaters collected
round the small boy, whose position
was now pitiable indeed. ''Unfasten
his coat" said one, 'and take 1t or"
That's sensible" said another; don't
vou see it's buttonedY' well, lots
rive him pull and see If 1t won't come
cut" But 1t was no use. The button
was SO warm when the boy lay down
that it had melted a deep hole, and 1t
had frozen again all around II; and

was sewed so firmly that Il would not

"we'n have to rip It up the back"
said his cousin.
NO; not that" said the sister, cant
some one get pick, or a hatchetT'
some one said he would try, and skated
uff Meanwhile the salt tears from the
small boys eyes were making inroads
on the ice under his face. He felt very
damp and uncomfortable, and wished,
very heartily, that he had not been so
naughty. His sister was afraid that he
would catch pneumonia, or at least a
heavy cold.
"Oh, say" said the cousin after they
Lad waited short time, why won't
skate do for a pick" So saying he
took OF one of his, and tried to pick at
the button by pushing back the child s
fat little body. At last he succeeded
in chopping the ice away SO that the
button was freed and the small boy
was able to stand once more. He now
recognizes the advantages Of an erect
posture.

Butts Horse String

Harry Butts, who is a jolly good fellow
among the sports, but a poor judge OF
horse flesh, has taken his string to Reno.
This year Butts will make his appear
ance on the Reno track with two animals:
The head OF the string is the well
known skate "Ironheart," and a sorrel
colt which he confidentially tells country
men it is the son of the great Ell Rio Reg
Butts now has a man upholstering the
a]ntiquated ~"IrOnhear,'' and trying to re-
juvinate it for the fill races. He fin ish ed
work on the off hind leg a few days AZ
and will take a rest and get to work
on the balance next week.
His stomach troubles are now over and
he has fallen back on oats. when he can
get them. 1t is estimated that if the
trainer can get his horse to the post the
horse is good to win at least $4,000 for
those who bet against him this fall.
The young colt, if allowed to un, will
do equally as we'll.
No one need think for an instant that
Butts will be II on the campaign, for
he has for some years past quit backing
his own horses when there are others in
sight.
