He Once Was a Boy on the Farm.

That man in the school where the ethics are
taught
Professor of Latin. and Greek,
Can tell OF the way that life's battles fought
And fluent words he will speak.
But oft he is thinking OF valleys and hills,
The forests and meadows sweet charm;
Thou h high is the sta,ion today that he fills,
He once was a boy on the farm.
That man in the church who is preaching today
With power and with purpose TO save
The souls of the people who listened to pray,
While gladly his message he gave,
Remembers the lilies that grew in the dell,
The sparrow safe sheltered from harm
BY the Master that now he lsIservi ng so W ell
He once was boy on the farm.
The man who is first in the halls of tho state
And versed in the laws of the land,
Beloved by the people with honors so great,
His word Is power to command
Looks off to the mountain now notified with
green,
Then down at his muscular arm,
And longs but again in the harvest to CLEAN. !.
He once was boy on the farm.
That man who is chief of our armies today,
Now guarding the lines of the west
Though looking with pride on his troops bright
array
Has love for the farm in his breast.
He thinks OF the fields where the daisies are
white,
And signs for the noisy alarm
or the cock of the barnyard TO vanquish tn
night.
He once was boy on the farm.

more Of the "horse sense" than horse,
or even a mule, and that is why the
burro in the accompanying picture
wears ''pants fore and aft in addition
to thick blanket. A Chicago shoe
maker has amply provided protection
from the cold for the sturdy burro that
he drives in his delivery cart. The
strange-appearing animal seems very
happy and totally ignores the imper-
tlnent wags who poke fun at the cut
and quality Of his clothes.

COUNTESS SAD ROMANCE.
CONFINED IN INSANE ASYLUM
SIXTEEN YEARS.
Loss of Mind For MANY Years Which
Was Caused by Very Ln-
happy and Loveless
Marriage.

IHe DeautlIul countess or Durham
has come to life again-come to life
again in the sense that she has been
restored to her family and friends at
ter almost sixteen years of confine-
ment in an asylum for the insane.
Her life furnishes one Of the saddest
stories ever known in high life in
England.
Before her marriage she was one Of
the Misses Miner, and credited with
being one of the most beautiful wom-
en- in England.
The earl Of Durham was rich, but
profiigate. In 1883 Miss Miner was
the belle OF Yorkshire. At that time,
although she did not love him, pres
sure from parents and friends was
brought to bear and she was induced
to marry the rich earl.
Within six months he became con-
WINGED that his wife was insane. She
did not love him.
The earl established the truth of
this by an original experiment. To test
| her affection he kissed another lady in
| her presence while in a brilliant party
/ travelling to Yorkshire.
by a singular coincidence the lady
selected for this experiment. was also
very beautiful-the Countess de Gray,
| in fact-but the countess of Durham
remained listless. The others Of the
party agreed with Durham that his
| wife must be crazy, although one
might easily suppose that a proud
woman would dsdain to notice such
an insult
Other proofs" followed.
Lady Durham used to evade her at
PENDANTS and wander all day long in
country lanes or London streets, re-
| turning late at night, covered with
mud, a pathetic, wild-eyed vision of
beauty. So calmly beautiful was her
| Ophelia face that no one ever dared
| modest her upon these strange eXcur-
sions, and some would mutter a pray
er for the unhappy lady as she passed
in her shining, bedraggled robes.
Next came the story of a strange
scene in the duke of Abercorn's Hamp-
den house. A brilliant ball was IN
with light, thronged with merry dane
ers. None was more beautiful than
Lady Durham, and none, surely. so
| distraught. For awhile she wandered
about, staring with vacant eyes at
the assembly. Then some thought,
perhaps the coming Of her customary
retiring hour, prompted her to begin
In her own chamber. AT least, that is
| the story.
A group Of ladies huddled about her
and persuaded her to leave the room.
She never appeared in public again.
She was removed to an asylum.
| Public sympathy might have re-
NAMED with the earl, only for the
fact that he filed suit for divorce. His
| petition was cast aside.
| And now comes forth from her long
retirement the beautiful countess, as
| lovely as ever, her youth and beauty
marvelously preserved by retirement,
and a placid life, perfectly sane, and
championed by her sister, Lady Gi-
rard, and her brother, Henry Miner,
who married the late duchess of Mont
rose.
Her friends are saying that she has
never been, properly speaking, insane,
but only driven into profound melan-
choly by her unhappy marriage, by
her husbands treatment, and by the
uncongenial character and conduct of
his male and female friends.

much to suit those who have seen
the play before. What there was of
it was we'll rendered and highly ap-
preciated by the audience which
was mainly composed of the weak
or" sex.
In the evening the Lady OF Lyons
was the program, and the interesting
play was handled in truly artistic
manner. Miss Waldorf in the lead
ing role was even more pleasing than
in the former characters. The Young
actress has undoubtedly a great
future awaiting her. To morrow
