THE CALF PATH.


One day through the primeval wood
A ea1 walked home, as good calves
should.
And made q trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have
aed.
And, infer. the calf is dead.
But, still, he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs a mortal tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep.
And drew his flock behind him. too,
As good hell-wethers always do.
And from that day. DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was
made,
And many men wound in and out.
And lodged and turned and bent
about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath,
Because twas such a crooked path.
But, still, they followed-do not
laugh
The first migration of that calf,
And through this winding woodway
stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,-
That bent and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became q road,
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one
And thus a century and half
They trod the footsteps Of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet.
The road became village street,
And this, before men were aware.
A city's crowded thoroughfare;
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf;
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about,
And DER his crooked. journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.

on the farm brings less and less monty.
One day the farmer called his boys about
him and said: Boys, there is no money
in farming. We have worked hard, but
the prices continue to fail until the re-
turns from the sales are so small that

and begin to manufacture tobacco on Ii

sons the experience Of the farmer who,
returning from war to face the problem
of farm life. began to manufacture
smoking tobacco at hcme. and saw.
under intelligent industry, the business
grow until he was as rich as Il Wander
bilt. The boys applauded the new de-
parture, and plans We're made to begin

get the necessary machinery and learn
something about the market, the father
went to the nearest town on the next
Saturday, confident that he and his
boys would duplicate the record of his
Ulu-tl1lle He1SllDoI.
When he reached town and began his
investigation. he learned that the Gate
of Opportunity which was wide opened
in 1S65-'9o to his successful old neigh
Dor, was tightly closed and barred. and
that he could not squeeze his body
through the smallest crack. There ran
across the Gate strong bar. which
stood as barrier against his entrance,

patent or of any material he
had known in his youth He became
curious to know what bar it was that
had closed tight this Gate of Opportunity
which had always been wide open to all.
Behind the panels he saw a few men
sitting on elegant thrones and driving
about in royal chariots, attended by
servants in livery who anticipated their
every want. Through Il curious funnel
shaped arrangement he noticed that
money poured into their Golfers, and
that it came in an ever increasing stream,
whether the men within the Gate were
at work or play. 1t seemed to come fast

OccupyWh Day at Court.

Mrs. Julia E. Osborn is now a free
woman, and will resume her maiden
name of Norcross, Judge Gaskill hav-
ing granted her petition for divorce
from her husband, Thomas S. Osborn,
yesterday morning. The decree entered
is nisi for cruel and abusive treatment,
but the court reserves decision as to the
custody of the minor children. Mr.. and
Mrs. Osborn were married q years ago,
and have several children, who are now
grown.
From the fact that Mrs. Osborn is the
daughter of James o. Norcross, the
contractor, and former member, of the
firm of Norcross Brothers, the case has
attracted unusual interest. All phases
of the strained relations between the
couple are not yet settled, as there is
pending in the superior court a civil
case against Mr.. Norcross brought by
Mr. Osborn to recover $50, 900 for alleged
alienation of his wifes affections.
Mrs. Osborn will continue to reside at
the residence of her father. In the di-
vorce suit, Blackmer & Vaughan APP
peared for Mrs. Osborn; Herbert Par
ker, John B. Scott for Mr.. Osborn.

WATER coLoRs.
Willis Adams Choice Productions to Be
Seen In Worcester.

Worcester people will be glad to
know that the noble water colors of
Willis S. Adams are to be shown at
Davis galleries some time during the
winter or spring. Mr.. Adams has been
working quietly at his home in Suffield
ever since his return from abroad. and
the result is large number of views
in the Connecticut valley, both in oil and
water color, that show a superb vigor
and breath of treatment. private ex-
hibition Of these pictures at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mase Southwark last
week, in Springfield, was made the oc-
casion of a delightful social gathering.
The Republican says of this exhibition:
Mr.. Adams has been very Industrious
during the past summer and fall, and he
has never produced a more recommending
seasons work than can now be seen by
those who love the beauty of nature and
can appreciate the Illusion of art. 1t
seems that it should be superfiuous to say
this just here, where Mr. Adams very in
diVidual and poetic genious should now be
well known. One of these great paintings
represents calm and tranquil summer
afternoon, with trees and the sweep OF
curying canal; another. agmarvel of splen-
dor, shows a grand sunrise In which the
plosion of color and vapor rise toward
the zenith, filling the sky with glowing
prophecy. Either OF these is o. treasure
and so it might be said in full measure OF
others less profound and impressive IN
their dealing with the mysterious beauty
OF nature-a mystery which is seldom in
deed so diviningly rendered as by Willis
