The Song of Destiny.

We are the Children Of Events.
From Tampa Bay and Golden Flue;
Swift immigrants that pay no rents,
Rough riders over ditch and fence,
We settle where we pitch our tents
And stick the carmine, white and blue.
We are the darlings OF events
From Tampa Bay and Golden fiue
SIoutch-hatted. buckled mp in duck
We nick the sunset for our own;
We tug and balance nip-and-tuck
The European powder-truck
Put fiout the brownish kind Of muck
Ana disrespect the Torrid Zone.
We are the paiadins OF PlYck
From Honolulu and Ladrone.
We sniff the SAVIOR Of the seas.
Idght-handed. -hearted, prodigal,
World hungry for antipotes.
We scale the Morro-crags with ease
From Philippines 10 Caribhees.
And swelter in the chaparral:
We sniff the SAVIOR Of the seas.
IAght-hearted, handed, prodigai
The dubious doctors may debate
Why trade winds travel as they do;
We grip the saddle-haDs of Fate
To rise above the hurdle gate.
And have a chance 10 contemplate
From elevated points ~ view.
The doddering doctors may debate
Why trade winds travel as they do;

stupidity of sheen.

The stupidity of tame sheep points
to the fact that they are out of place
and not in their natural surroundings.
Turn a sheep loose in the mountains
and it proves itself thoroughly at
home.
One apparently silly habit of sheep
is explained when we remember what
were its Iatural surroundings before
man turned it to his own purposes.
This is the extraordinary and appar-
emily purposeless way in which every
flock of sheep will follow the leader
and initiate him in taking jumps over
entirely imaginary obstacles. All wild
sheep go in focks and implicitly obey
a leader. If this leader, who keeps
watch for the public good, gives an
alarm, the rest do not question his
wisdom, but simply follow him, for in
mountain regions to wait till the
chasm or obstacle the leader has seen
Is seen by each member of the flock
might mean death to many Of them
The habit is inherited and too strong
for the tame sheep to crush out.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1899-09-14
Sold L. 2 a Pittance.

The Budapest I4irlap tells a curious
story about the way some owners of
great estates manage their own inter-
ests. Countess Szapary owned, with a
number of other estates, a small coun-
try house near a fashionable resort in
the north of Hungary, with but little
land under cultivation, but large
tract of unimproved woodland. She had
inherited it with other property and
had never seen it. A leaseholder took
care of it for her, paying a small rent
One day the countess hears of his pres-
ence in the city. She has him called
and addresses him: 'Say, Lajos. | want
money. I'm invited to a court ball and
must have a gown" "What can 7 do
for YOU, madam he queried. LOAN
me 10000 fiorinsv I'm sorry. but
haven't got that much" "I'n sell Won
the whole place for 10000 fiorinsr'
Seven thousand is the most | can
scrape together between now and to-
morrow" We'll, bring me the 1000
to-day and the place is yours" That af-
ternoon the man came with notary
Snd the money, and the sale was made
perfect. The countess had her gown
and the tenant his estate. which during
the first year brought in for him IL. 600
uorins in wood sold alone.

HAD FOURTEEN HUSBANDS.
A Comparatively Young Woman After
All the Experiences.

Polly Owens, wife Of William Owens
Of White River township, has just set
tied down in matrimonial bliss for the
fourteenth time She is but 80 years of
age, and looks as though she would
survive her fourteenth and at least a
dozen more husbands She is mother
of six children, the result of her former
marriages. She was married the first
time when she was Is years of age, and
was left a widow two years later.
Since then she has averaged a mar
rage every two years. She has Sc
cured eight or nine divorces, while
death has done the releasing in the
other case. She is part Indian, her
mother being half-cast. BY marriage
she has a relationship with half the
people of this county, writes a Straw
ton Qnd) correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Tribune. There is no one in In
diana who closely approaches her rec
ord.
rage the sixth time, and one case
where marriage was entered into the
seventh time, but she discounts that
record. Young Benson Eggers of Hen
bricks county, however, is in fair way
to attain a similar distinction. He has
just passed his 10Th year, and is pre-
pairing to contract his fourth marriage.
He was married the first time when
he was but II years of age and his wife
but II. The marriage was upon consent
of parents. He treated his wife rs a
plaything but when he grew tired of
her he slung her around like she was
doll, and scared her to death by draw
ing razors across her throat and throw
ing her on the floor and holding a red
hot poker over her. She got tired Of
this and went to her home. The mar
rage was annulled. The next two were
also terminated by his arbitrary bursts
of freakishness.

The Kind We Love.

When every now and then we come
upon some sweet, modest girl whose
beauty is enhanced by her bashfulness
and whose sweetness of compliance
speaks eloquently of her domestic
training when we find her capable,
industrious, thoughtful for others,
courteous, well bred, how our whole
heart goes out to her-hOw we love her
and respect her! So, too, of the boy
who combines with a boys freer in
stincts the sweet mOdesties of his age
and the noble kind of Difference which
promises both the power Of governing
others as well as that of self-goyern-
ment. And again, when we have q
group of little children, trimming over
with health and animal spirits, but in
due subordination to the mother who
loves them TO well to spoil them and
who thinks that till they can walk
morally alone they are best guided in
to good ways, we thank heaven for the
remnant still left among us-the rem
nant of wise parents who bring up
their children for charm in the pres
ence ana nobility in the future and
who are the good sea walls standing
between the surging tide of folly and
the fertile lards of wisdom and de-
light.

One Clever Woman.

The craft of bookbinding is one
which has long been jealousy closed
to women and into which they have
finally made their way more as anna
tours than professionals.
But even as amateurs they have
proved their work can rival that of
the men. Some beautiful work by a
Mrs. TraQuair is attracting attention
in England. She was accidentally
drawn into the work, as her talent
