The .sailorman" Of Nantucket.

Almost.the first sight that catches the
eye as we leave the wharf is the group of
government weather signals and vanes on
the roof of the historic custom house, for
Nantucket is one of the most Important
signal stations along the east coast.
Going up into the town we soon find
that the most popular vane is that called
by the children the ''sailorman, :" and he
is indeed an attractive little fellow. He Is
always dressed in white trousers and blue
monkey jacket, and he wears IN the back
of his little block head a brilliant black
hat. 1t isn't a regular tarpaul1n, you
know, but it Is something like the hats
the girls wear and name sailors, and
that may be the reason that he wears it.,
for a true sailor is a very chivalrous sort
of person. This littla man has broad blad-
ed oars securely fastened IN his chubby
hands, and perched aloft on a pole he
swings gayly about on a pivot with the
breeze, while his oars reyolve as the wind
chooses. Sometimes he seems to be MAX
ing friendly signals. Sometimes signs Of
distress, and often he appears to be violent
ly whirling Indian clubs, as If he were
taking his exercise on his own main truck.
This sailor Ia in such demand by sum-
mer visitors that making him has become
a fairly paying business. One islander
sold 500 in one year. And this Nantucket
product, like the real sailor himself, trav-
els to all parts of the world. Whether he
works as surely and vigorously in a land
breeze we are not able to say. Perhaps he
is even more frisky, as true sailormen are
said to be when they 40 ashore.

made himself generally agreeable. He

Well. it would simply never do.
And so it came to pass that the Rev.

Shadows on the VALE
When the room is tidy,
Toys are put away,
Eyes are growing sleepy.
Skies are turning gray,
Comes the children's clamor
As they round me throng;
Fairy lore's exhausted,
Sung each nursery song;
In the mellow lamplight
Hushod their voices all
While they watch me making
Shadows ON the WALL
Through the happy silence
Rings thsir laughter low
As upon the wall there
Shadows come and 60
Nurse, unseen, UNDECIDED,
Watches from the door,
While the chiidren's voices
Plead fer just one morei
One by one they leave me.
Till I sit alone,
Seeing in the twilight
Shadows of my own,
Long forgotten fancies,
Dreams in olden guise,
Till from heart to eyelids
Tears, unbidden, rise.
Happy, happy chiidreni
Time has Joys for all.
