worn thus, thou wilt be a guardian
against drunkness. Bowing before you
as the most popular of idols, Athenian
orators in striving to win favor from
the people, were wont to address them
as: "Arthenian's crowned with violets."
TO you, 0 delicate one, is due the
honor of keeping green the name of
Alcaen's greatest of Grecian "Lyric
Poets. of the 9Th Century, B. c. For
all that is remembered of the poet
works, are those lines commencing:
"Violet crowned, pure sweetly crowned
Sappho."
Among Romans thy graceful self
made such conquest, that Ovid, con-
trasting the noble simplicity of the an
clent sacrifices, with the gaudy display
OF the then degenerate times, says that
"lf there was any one who could add
vlolets to the chaplets, wrought from
flowers of the meadow, he was a rich
man."
And Mohammed, fondling you, sweet
flower, said: ''As my religion is above
others, so is the excellence of the odOrs
OF violets above other Odors. 1t is
warmth in winter and GOODNESS IN mid
summer"
Thus spake the prophet. giving you
as symbol to the Moslem, and they
bow to thee as being sanctifed.
All countries do thee homage. In some
snperstitious- countries, to dream of
you, is held to be good luck, while in
Thuringia thou art sure charm
against "black art" In Brandenburg
and Silesia thou art held as specific
for ague, while at one time even dull
lard science bowed before thy worth,
and admitted you to its pharmaco poeia.
Bards of all climes have ever sung thy
praise, and have babe the wealthy and
naughty to turn to you, thou owly
wayside preacher, and learn from you
lessons in humility.
No one, indeed, O. violet, names you,
but to sing of thy splendor Wads,
worth, once England's Poet Laureate,
pays thee tEibunate in:
A violet by mOssy stone,
Half hidden from the eye
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky
While the one wish for a departed
friend Tennyson has, is:
And from his ashes may be made
The violet of the native land
1t is indeed highly creditable to hu-
man nature that thou, o violet, hold
such high place in our affection.

TRAMPY,

The other day was talking to my
friend Trampy and asked him how he
became hockey tramp, and he said
that he guessed he was born one; for
the first thing he remembered was, run
ming loose with the wharf rats at the
dump wharf, pier II, behind the Old
Slip police station, South St., New
York. Then | asked him how he
came to jump out of the city and what
wharf rat was. He said that it was
long story, but he would try to tell me.
In the first place, the wharf-rats are
the petty thieves that hang around the
wharveS. [ used to run with them and
we slept at the News Boys Hotel when
we could steal or beg the price, and if
we couldn't, we bunked out anywhere;
but during the day we usually nested
on the dump wharf. There are thous-
ands of hobos that hang around the
piers and us kids would get them to
tell us stories about tramping it. They
used to tell us how nice and warm it
was in winter down in Florida and out
in California.
1t was getting pretty chilly in New
York one fall, and 1 had just been
listening to tramp telling us story
of Florida and what good times the
tramps had in the jungles with their
kegs of beer and plenty of scoffins, and
my mind became inflamed with the idea
to strike out for the everglades of Flor
ida, where oranges and bananas grew
1 asked tramp to put me next to the
roads that Iwould have to take to get
there. and he gave me a map and
marked the places where L would have
to change. But there was line of
steamers that went from pier "a, right
under the Brooklyn Bridge, to Calves
ton, Tex, and stopped on the way at
Jacksonville and st. Augustine, Fla,
and [ conceived the idea of slowing
away on board of one of them. So
early one morning when one of the
steamers was going to leave, L made a
sneak on board and planted myself in
a good place. But I had long time
to wait and began to think of what
would become of me if the boat should
sink, and got so frightened, that just
before she was going to leave the
wharf, l sneaked off of her and did not
feel safe until I was back with the
gang on the dump.wharf again, my
nerve had been shaken so.
But l was determined to go to Flor

practices retard our progress as an en-
lightened and civilized nation. But
then, are we not even now engaged in
civilizing savages on the other side of
the globe, and putting forth great ef-
forts to Undue their hearts with love
and liberty, Mauser- balls and Krag.
Jorgensen bullets, what more should
there be required of us?
1t would not be for the reason that
we have not produced great masters of
art, that a great school of painting
could not be established in the United
States, for we have given the world
such masters as Malbone, Copley, c.
w. Peale, Gilbert g. Stuart, Thomas
Cole, Huntington and many others.
Liberty" the largest statue on record,
and presented by the people of France
to the United States in 1885, is the con-
ceptlon of French sculptor, belonging
to the great school of France. Eight
years were consumed in its cOnstruc-
ton. The figure above is 1921 feet
high, the head is 1415 feet in diameter,
big enough as standing room for 40
persons. The index finger is 8 feet
long, but what is most interesting is
the nose, because if Cyrano de Bergerac
could contrive to have one of the same
size, which measures 32 feet, he would
by far be greater success, than he has
now proved himself to be in the writ
ing and reading of the departed
-it-rest- -in-the- ste-basket
paper.
AS requiem, let me say that some
wonderful creations with the brush
have been produced: Quentin Matsys,
the Dutch painter, painted a bee so true
to nature that fellow artist of no
mean ability himself took it for a real
bee and proceeded to brush it away
with his handkerchief. The Grecian
painter Parrhasios painted curtain so
admirably, that even Zenxis, who paint.
ed bunch of grapes so we'll that birds
came and pecked at them, thinking
them real grapes, took it for real
drapery. Velasquez, the Spanish paint
er, painted an officer of the Spanish
navy so true to life, that when King
Felipe ". entered the studio, he mis-
took the picture for the man, and be-
gan reproving the supposed officer for
neglecting his duty, in wasting his time
in the studio, when he ought to have
been with his fleet, but methinks if this
last would have happened within the
last six or eight months, the king would
have had no occasion to refer to any
fleet that was being neglected, for
Dewey and Schley have attended, like
true Americans, that they are taking
care of Spanish fleets.

Violet, flower of more then hundred
species; sweet fragrant flower, favorite
OF northern climes, what is the story of
the ages past? What part in the worlds
history hast thou taken? From whence
hast thou sprung and for what end
have you existed?
Scientists, those dull people, who in
an endeaver to hide their ignorance. use
names of very learned sound; of you,
sweet violet; they say, that from
"genus of exogenous herd of the order
OF Vllolacoe," thou dOst come, and fur
ther, "that of northern temperate
zones," thou are native. Prosy fell
lows, to be near such dainty flower"
and find so inappropriate description.
But away with dullard science and
turn to those who know how to fairly
value your beauty and fragrance. Turn
now to the poet, and justly too; for
poets know more than scientists: were
they not born before them, will they
not live after them? Poets tell us all
about thy creation, most fragrant of
flowers, and through all the ages have
sung thy praises. What a glorious
birth was thine, sweet flower! Zeus in
love with 10, the beautiful child of
lnachus, changes her into magnificent
white heifer, and deeming common
grass and common flowers no fit diet
for the sweetheart of the ruler of gods:
created you, o violet, that she might
feed on your dainty petals, and see
when 10 dies, violets spring from her
body, and when ages pass, SHAKESPEARE
sings of this tradition:
Lay her in the earth,
And from her fair unpolluted flesh
May viOletS spring.
Ancient Greece had for thee, o sweet
violet, strong affection and named
thee Ion, for your modesty suggested to
them fair Ionia, from whence all Athe-
mans were tabled to have sprung.
Dainty flower, you were great favorite
