A VISIT TO FAIRY LAND.
/ was walking In the city.
On a bright sunny day,
When 1 met a little fairy
On nv long. lonely Way.


On bright sunny day,
When 1 met a little fairy
On my long, lonely way.
She was dressed all in roses,
In her hand a small stick,
Her face was glad and merry,
And her step light and quick.
On her head a crown of flowers,
On her feet golden shoes,
And the little wand she carried,
Wore the same yellow hues.
"Will you walk into my garden?"
Said her small silvery voice;
81 will show you ali my roses.
And you may take your choice"
81 have only lately planted
These young rose trees of mine,
But their blossoms are as fragrant
As the finest of the fne."
81 will let you pluck a nosegay,
You may stroll througe my bowers,
So come this way, fair lady,
And see my pretty flowers"
Then could not choose but enter,
Through the gate opened wide,
So l went into the garden
OF my sweet fairy guide.
She had twenty-five or thirty
Little trees in row,
And / smiled when noted
How the blossoms seemed to grow.
And was funny that the flowers
Did not bloom out in full,
For she had instead of roses,
Only Rosebuds to pull.
So asked the little fairy
How she made them so neat,
How she kept her charming rosebuds
So tidy and SO sweet.
Said she: Lady, I will tell you,
Ihave known long while;
With tears Of Joy water them,
Their sunshine is my SMILE"
/ stepped forth to take cluster,
When the spirits golden wand
Touched the trees, and II a wonder,
Beneath my outstretched hand.
For little girl came tripping
From each tree on my right,
And on my left were little boys.
Driving roses out of sight.
On each leafy top were ringlets,
All of bright sunny hair,
And each tree was clad in garments
That only children wear.
Now the sprite became lady,
Quite as tall as myself;
All her rosy raiment vanished
To adorn some other elf.
And the garden all around me,
Changed into long hall,
Where thes little human rosebuds
Seemed to come at my cali.
There were Mary, TOmmie, Susie,
Ida, Lizzie, Abbie, Frank.
Mamie, Fleecie, Charley, Willie,
All just ready for prank.
Nellie, Lettie, Mollie, Lila.
Lula, Maggie, Addie, George,
Allie, Mamie, Napo, Sallie,
Lads and lassies small and large.

The Blanks / find am not able to
fill with certainty. believe it would
be of interest to the readers of THE
RECORD, to trace these ''ROsebuds'
and publish their whereabouts at this
time.
Ida, Lula and Lizzie lived to
womanhood, were married. and called
to their eternal home while yet in the
springtime of life. "Abbie" is now
Mrs. John Morgan, of Paragould, Ar
kansas, and the happy mother of four
little Rosebuds of her own. She is
prosperous, as is also Frank" who is
married and is a rising railroad man.
George" is married and has fine pO-
sition as manager of the Burnet
House, Cincinnati "Fleecie" is Mrs.
Kinnaird, mamie" is Mrs Stormes,
and maggie" is Mrs. Robinson, all of
your own town and county. Will not

The dramatization OF "Dr. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde" from Robert Louis Steven
sons novel OF the title. is q very inter-
estins n and breaches one OF the
strongest sermons possible. DR.. Henry
Jekyl is a student, a scholar and a
dreamer. He Is n se1rcher Into the oc-
cult sciences. By the discovery of a GER
tain drug he Is enabled to separate the
good FROM the bad in his own body.
AS Mr.. Hyde-his wo-s. nature-he
sratifes all his evil desires without fear
OF detection. The same drug reproduces
his former self. Little by little as the
man gives way to drink he yields 10 the
drug until no longer able to control his
bettor nature and unable to ecu Il
other supply of the potion nothing is left
for him to do In order TO escape the gall
lows but the death Of q suicide.
This remarkable play will be produced
for the celebration Of the first a1niver-
sary Of the opening OF the Carroll Club
Auditorium, by the Dramatic Club. as
sisted by J.. P, Morgan, on February 90,
at the Carroll Club. A crowded house Is
assured. Seats so on sale at Milligan,

BRITISH PRESS


On the alaine Disaster-aInny Expression,
ofSympsthy.
LONDON, Feb. las the details OF
the loss Of the Maine are published
there are renewed marks OF sympathy
here. They are not only in the news
papers, but are to be heard on all sides.
Many Of the diplomats. including the
| Spanish ambassador. have called at the
United States embassy. and the first
lord Of the British admiralty. the Hon.
George ]. Goschen, has requested Mr..
White, the secretary OF the United
States embassy. in the absence OF
United States Ambassador Colonel John
Hay, in Egypt, to express the admiral
| TVS and his own personal sympathy to
the United States government and to
the United States navy.
The provincial morning newspapers
make comments similar il tone to those
Of the London morning, and the London
afternoon newspapers devote much
space to the disaster. The Pail Mali
Gazette, alludiHs to the bravery Of the
American officers, says: Capt. Sigs-
bee, for one, behaved with a splendid
contempt of danger worthy OF the best
traditions OF the American or any
navy"
Based chiefly upon special kilograms
appearing this morning in the Daily
Chronicle and the Morning Post. there
Is much discussion OF the treachery the
DRY to-day. A dispatch to the Chronicle
from Washington said that Mr.. Roose-
welt and other bureau chiefs. as well
as congressman. are absolutely certain
that treachery was the cause of the dis
aster, while a dispatch to the Morning
Post from New, York says President
Mckinley has long been suspicious Of
some atrocious foul play. and is report
ed to have confidential reports in his
possession which. II published, would
cause immediate war.
The st. James Gazette says the con-
duct of President Mckinley In the De
LONE Incident shows he Is not seeking
a quarrel and is unwilling to allow his
hand to be forced by the tirebrands Of
the senate. Yet a president of the
United States, though very powerful,
may be driven against his WILL"
Other newspapers comment on the
disaster in the game lines.
