hangs in the we'll" The memory of
his country home, stirring a poets
fancy in far-off city, made possible
the tender, simple verses that appeal
so strongly to the heart. That was
nearly a century ago, but such poems
live, and that is the reason the feet of
many pilgrims turn toward this pretty
place summer after summer. Green
bush is a small section set off from
Scituate, and it does not belittle the
quiet, restful hamlet to say that its
chief attraction is the farm where Sam
uel Woodwork once lived Young and
old come to visit it from far and near,
and every one looks for "the orchard.
the meadow, the deep-tangled wild
wood" Many changes have been made
since the poet found "the source of an
exquisite pleasure" in the clear waters
of the we'll. but 'the wide-spreadng
pond" the mill and the dairy house are
still to be seen. The original house
was destroyed long ago. The thrifty
farm is now the property of Henry
Northey, whose grandmother married
the poets father. Mr.. and Mrs. Northey
are exceedingly kind to strangers, al
though they confess, when questioned,
that there are disadvantages in having
a renowned place for ones dwelling.
Through all the long summer they are
besieged by visitors, who ask exactly

SHARP FERRULE
On Walking Stick and the Way in
Which 1t Was Used.

Which 1t Was Used.
New Orleans Democrat:
There's an odd little story connected
with this old cane" said New Orleans
sporting man the other day. you will
observe how heavy it is and how the
ferrule comes down to a sharp point.
1t used to be carried by an old chap
who was a well-known character here

a very crooked gambling house. l
won't hurt anybody's feelings by men
tioning the exact location, but it was
a saying that you might as we'll slide
your money under the door and walk
off. 1t saved time. This old fellow
I'm speaking of never operated any Of
the games, but was apparently mere
spectator. His business was to dispose
of what were known technically as
Knockers A knocker was anybody
who attempted to put victim on his
guard, usually well-meaning but Of
ficious friend. For example, a visitor
would be playing at one Of the games
and his friend, hooking on, would smell
a rat. AS rule he would feel it his
duty to say something, and such sug-
gestions were naturally resented by
the house. When the old man would
see a knocker about to knock he would
hobble up, leaning heavily on his cane,
and plant the ferrule, as if by accident,
squarely on the offenders foot. Such
a prod would cause the victim excru-
ciating agony, and he would imme-
diately lose all interest in exposing
fraud. While he was writhing and
groaning the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room to
get a drink. Meanwhile the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get it out. There's no tell

the same questions as those who came
before. Sometimes as many as hum
dred persons have crossed the smooth
green lawn to the well in one day;
frequently there is an array of fash

wall that borders the road, and it is
sometimes quite perplexing to satisfy
such a number of unlimited guests.
The poet was born in Scituate, but not
on this farm. He lived there from in
fancy until he was IA, when he en-
tered the family of Rev. Nehemiah
Thomas to study. He began to write
verses when very young, and always
signed them "Selim," a name that he
used throughout his life. He became a
printer in Boston, an editor in New
Haven, and later lived in Baltimore
and New York, where he was associ-

was full of interest and every page of
his printed poems speaks of a refined.

who formerly resided in Chadron, but
who for the past few years has been
prospecting in and about Lead City and
Custer, S. d., was here for few weeks
visiting old friends, and while here re-
lated story of an old German who re-
sided near his claim for years, and who
died recently, which reads like a ro-
nance. The old mans name was Will
liam Bismarck, but he was known
there as Prince Bismarck. When quite
young he was deprived of his fortune
in his native land by an unjust law,
and, being deeply mortified at having
lost his fortune and also caste with
his former friends and associates, he
at once determined to come to America
make fortune, and then return to his
native land and lord it over those who
cut him. Before he lost his fortune he
married very highly educated and
highly connected but rather poor lady.
He thought, of course, after she left
her old associates, she would change,
and SO broke the news to her of his de-
termination to leave Germany. But she
refused to accompany him. Just after
arriving in New York he joined party
Of prospectors bound for the Black
hills. This was early in the '70s. Upon
arriving in the hills he took several
claims, and was fortunate in disposing
of them at big sum. Soon after t:2is
he married German girl, the daughter
of well-todo ranchman. They worked
hard and were frugal. He kept his
money secreted somewhere in the vi
cinity of his house, but even his wife
did not know the place. When he was
about ready to return to the scenes of
his childhood TO wreak vengeance on
his former wife and his associates he
suddenly died, without leaving a will.
From that day until short time ago a
constant search was conducted for his
money, but until few days ago I'M
successfully. In a claim close to the
house a small cave was discovered. 1t
was explored, and in this cave poor
Bismarck kept burying his money for
years in the solid stone, carefully COW
cred by slab of stone. Mr.. Morton
says that 100000 was taken out of the
rock. The widow of Bismarck paid the
party well who unearthed the money,
and it is said she will soon leave for
Germany and, to the extent of her
ability, try to carry out her husbands
wishes.

Finally, little Koo-Koo died, and was
stuffed and used as an ornament Mrs
Entwisle wrote a very pretty little
story, founded on the history of Koo-
Koo, and sent it out to be read to the
children in the far-away land, whence
came the hen. There it took SO well
that it was translated into Chinese cad

their own language. 1t was the story
of little hen called Koo-Koo, which
undertook to support one little Chinese
girl that she might be educated. 1t

the children Of Koo-Koo, quite q

hearing that story read, Chinese boy

Efforts Ameliorote the Condition of the Waits Who
Are Absolutely Helpless

The Cuban orphan fund, which is
how fully started, and doing good work
among the orphaned children of the
"reconcentrados" of Cuba, is really the
outcome of the American commission
to Cuba last fall, prior to the raising
Of the American flag over the island.
The organization is entirely nom
sectarian; the children are cared for
physically and mentally. entirely ire
spective of any religious sect. Their
condition is pitiable, and the necessity
for lettering it is imperative. The
men at the head of the fund are men
who have personally come in contact
with the misery, poverty and utter
restitution of the children of Cuba.
These men are intelligent, farseeing,
and fully appreciatiye of the benefit
which must eventually accrue to the
United States il these orphans are

Here are the round, piled-up oranges

with juice; the apple, with its brown
red cheek, as If it had slept in the

and good many dollars went that
way. The hen became as much a pet
as cat or dog. She would lay her egg
and then go out into the kitchen and
cluck until some one went and found
the egg; then she would fly UP on the
window sill and peck at the window as
sign that she wished to go out doors.
