"The Touch of a Vanished Hand.

We sigh for the touch of a vanished hand
The hand of friend most dear,
Who has passed from our side to the shad-
owy land,
But, what OF the hand that is near?
To the livings touch is the soul inert
That weeps DER the silent urn?
For the love that ives is our hand alert
To make some sweet return?
Do we answer back in a fretful tone,
When life's duties press US sore?
Is our praise as iull as if they weresgone,
And could hear our praise no more?
AS the days 60 by, are our hands more swift
For tritle beyond their share,
Than TO grasp--ior d kindly, helpful lift
The burden some one must bear?
We sigh for the touch of vanished hand,
And we think ourselves sincere
But, what of tie friends that about us stand,
And the touch of the hand that's here?

took their lives in one hand and Winnie in
the other, and pressed undaunted into
the heart OF things, staying not for the
shooting galleries, and stopping not for
the trained beasts. On they went straight
to the merry 60 round.
With something of dignity and grace,
Winnie mounted to the astonishing emil
nence of a saddle on the back of a choco-
late coored charger, with magnificent
creamy name and tail. She took the red
reins in her hand with a certain negligent
air, as of long practice, and glanced down
coyly at her short calico skirt, in which
she saw the long and billowy drapery of a
sweeping habit. Others had risen to SIM
liar exalted station, but Winnie needed
them not-they did not exist for her, she
was alone, princess mounted on her own
Arab steed, and now the man in the
middle turned the crank, whichWinnie dis
tinctly cancelled from her consciousness
and the great moment had come. With a
rush and thrill of fresh air past her face,
with quickened breath and exultant
throbbing of her heart, on she sped, -
not round and round, but on and on, over
land and shore and far sea and sky, on and
on, all WEAKNESS, all care, all work and
trouble forgotten, -" soaring at last to
her hearts content.
The two co1spirators, standing, watch
ed Winnie's face as she flew past them
again and again, more swiftly with every
round. AT last they laughed-the one a
deep, inward laugh, the other convulsive-
ly-the ar of grandeur was SO infinitely re-
diculous. By and by they die not laugh
at all, and there were unmistakable tears
in the brown eyes.

made of is in the poor little thing, said

Shamrock on the Way.

GLASGOW, Aug. s. The Shamrock sailed
with the Erin from Fairlie this morning, gay
ly decorated. The banks of the river were
thronged and there was great cheering. 1t
was noted as a good omen that the last rae
ing yacht which sailed for America was the
unbeaten Minerva commanded by Charles
Barr. now skipper of the Columbia. The
Shamrock's racing spars will be taken to
New York by the anchor liner City of Rome.
Capt. Hogarth, before he started said that
he considered the Shamrock to be a perfect
racing machine.

MOUNT TOWN.
All day we watched the soft clouds play
/ Above the rugged mountains crest.
Or idly gazed on scenes that lay
Reflected on the rivers breast.
We watched the picture swe and rare.
And breathed new life from fragrant air.
We saw the brown birds lightly skim
The blue. green fields that stretched awav.
And upward borne like tender hymn
We listed to each joyous lay;
And from the rocks and in the breeze,
| Whispered the voices of the trees.
From strong sweet book of precept good
Sometimes wholesome page we read,
But oftener watched the tender food
That rolled in tideless beauty, led
| BY silver, sinuous, winding stream,
| A picture like an Eastern dream
| Sometimes we talked of ages fled
| VI years long gone of cycles past
And sealed in centuries cold and dead
OF natures throes-of ice fields vast
OF strange wild birds whose footprints live
On Gods eternal negative.
Sometimes in fancy's idle mood
Strange dusky figures came to view,
And out from deep and sheltered wood
The dark forms fitted to and fro,
And over rock and messy down
Peered strange odd faces bare and brown.
Again the woodlands axe we heard
Adown the densely wooded hill,
And sounding back like hooking birds
We heard the phantom voices still
Each breeze the echo seemed to bring,
Then died in faintest murmuring.
Slow sank the sun down from our sight
And burned his splendor in the west,
And tinged with sweet unearthly light
The misty summit of each crest.
His tresses lit with crimson ray
Blew farewells to the lingering day.
Anon the dusky shadows grew,
! Athwart the sky streameG golden bars
And out from the unfathomed blue
Came the faint glowing of the stars.
On mold and hill the purpling light
Soft faded into starry night.
y friend of yore that pressed my sde
. sunset sky with radiance fraughtl
L could not stay that golden tide,
Nor hold you to my longing heart,
L could not keep the shadows back
That fell across lifes onward track.
New birds will seek the leahy woods
Suns rise and set-clouds alternate
And oft together where we stood
The gold and violet linger late,
But thou! 0 friend thy tender eyes
Look out DER hill of Paradise!

ed the like of that before;'' and then with
sudden thought of her delinquencies,
past and future, but especially present,
Winnie shot from the door and down the
stairs,
By what underground passage the con-
spirators worked need not here be told,
but the following Saturday the brown
eyed school teacher, who had spoken
erstwhile in defense of green eyes, was
seen to take an electric car bound for that
Elysium of the common herd, and Hades
of the cultivated-Turley Beach. Follow
ing meekly in her wake was Winnie, mod
estly attired in a fresh calico and a per
fectly new hair ribbon.
When the car had reached the verge of
the buster streets it was boarded in a
casual and careless fashion by the chief
conspirator, namely the Man without the
Iron Mask, who appeared to have laid
| aside that piece of defensive armor finally
| forever, if one could judge by the cheer

| CHANGED upon the brown eyed school
teacher and Winnie.
Glow is this?'' he asked, bending down
to Winnie, by whose side he had seated
himself. The car was rushing onward at
high speed, and already the salt wind
blew in their faces. ''Does this soar to
suit you?'
| Winnie toed in vehemently, and dug
her chin into her breast in an ecstacy Of
shyness and gratitude, but answered how

The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-08-11

Hidden away in dark corner of the
model-room in the Patent Office at
Washington, with the dust of years
giving its brown surface a coat of
gray, is an apparently worthless block
of wood cut in the shape of a staircase,
with small blocks of wood mounted on
wires on each of the stairs.
When | happened to see this object
while looking through the 400. 1000 mod
els the other day, thought it must be
some sort of child's plaything, says
the Atlanta Constitution. On closer ex-
animation my curiosity was aroused.
so that | induced one of the busy at
tendants to look up the matter for me.
1t was discovered to be the first type
writer ever made IL the United States
perhaps in the world.
If placed by the side of one of our
1899 model typewr'ters the first type
writer could not fail to provoke smile
from the spectator. Instead of dainty
black and nickel letter keys, with an
open framework showing the easy
workings of the intricate machinery of
the inside as is usual in the typewrit-
ers of to-day, this first typewriter con-
sist of a closed wooden box with
blocks of wood half an inch square for
its letter keys. The paper-carriage of
the first typewriter is also of wood,
and instead of the operator turning
the paper-carriage by a mere touch on
an extension rod, as is done with all
typewriters now in use, when one line
was finished on the first typewriter the
operator had to use both hands to turn
the r-carriage-One hand to lift a
catch from the cOgwheel and the other
hand to push the paper around as far
as desired.
However, much as the first typewri.
ter differs from its grandchildren, close
examination shows that it has all the
essentials of typewriters as we know
them to-day. The inventor of the type
writer was r. T. p. Allen, of Farmdale
KY, who secured his patent in 1876
There were other so-called typewriters
invented before this date, but the AL
len invention is the first machine that
bore fruit, and it is that machine which
may be looked upon as the parent OF
the five million or more typewriters in
use in the United States to-day.
