Roche Harpor, March II.

1t is possible that the editor may
have failed to make his meaning clear
in the editorial referred to, but how
ever that may be he does not agree
with "Subscribcr' that the simple,
natural and long cherished wish of the
farmers wife was merely a sentiment
al longing" or that she had poisoned
the lives" of her children by letting
them know about this "trip deferred"
1t had been matter Of common neigh
borhood gossip before the children were
born and when the maiden who be-
came the mother went to the alter as a
bride, relying upon her lovers promise
that she should realize the dream of
years and see something of the world
beyond the farm and of the restless
tide of human life as it surges through
the channels of a great city. The wish
of the maiden, the wife and the mother
was no morbid craving for an UNI
worthy object, but a natural and
healthy longing for broader view of
life than the farm alone affords, mixed
with filial sentiment that was credit
to her character. And the editor meant
also to make the point that the hus-
band had no moral right, and no hus.
band ought to have legal one, to deny
to the wife the means that were essen
tiol RI fha roo l;1o ton nf bor ,,,;,l, o,I
the fulfillment Of his own promise.
She had as much right as he to hold
the strings of the family purse which
held the fruits of their common toll,
and use from it what she pleased. Be-
cause his "sober wishes never learned
to stray" beyond the confines of his
farm life, and his one ambition to add
to his acres and his hoard of money, he
was in no sense justified i'm withhold
ing from his wife the means of realiz-
ing the "hope deferred" which had
made her heart sick. II seems TO the
editor that "Suscriber" mistakes the
sentiment of Gray's Elegy if he thinks
it is calculated to teach such degree
of contentment with ones environ
ment as would stifie all ambition to see
and know and understand anything
beyond it. We are reminded by the
same poem that
Full many gem of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves Of ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air."

MORE THAN A QUESTION OF SENT
MENT.

To the Editor:-In THE ISLANDER of
last week YOU call attention to a pathetic
little story" in McClure's Magazine for
March entitled "A Trip Deferred" in
which yCung girl marries an lndustrl-
Gus farmer and suffers for life from the
malady so aptly expressed as hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick" In this
case the hope was a sentimental desire to
visit the place where her father had lived
From the editorial we learn Il have not
read the OriginaD that the girls father
was dead that her husband twas neither
harsh nor did he mean to be heartless,"
and that he was industrious and prosper
Gus. We also learn that her son loved
her so that he sent her his savings of 500,
earned by labor in distant city, and that
she had a "cheery young daughter who re-
manned ut home and contributed her saw
ings," all to crafty this sentimental long
ing to visit the place where her father had
lived, although he was now dead many
years.
If the lady i'm question had actually
kept her secret longing locked in her
heart, or wherever l0ngings locate them
selves, or at any rate if she had not com
municated it to her young children she
would have more Of our sympathy. In
stead OF making her loving and Obedient
children, as we are led to regard them,
happy by not only returning their love,
but ~ cOnceailng any nlenIil pam Sne
might feel, she poisoned their lives by
letting them know about this trip de-
ferred. If we are to give this lady our
sympathy what shall we give to those
whom fate has prevented from visiting
their parents who are living, or to those
unfortunate mothers whose children are
hayward, or those whose husbands are
harsh and heartless? 1t seems to me that
taking the average human life as a stan
dard for comparison, this woman had
more to be congratulated upon than SYM
pathized with, and that if she had firmly
tried to forget her longing in the fulfill
ment of duties to her children and her
neighbors she would herself have been
cheerful and happy and been of the con-
tented number described by Gray:
Ear from the madding crowds gnoble strife
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool, sequested vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way"

A Co%vington, Ky, dispatch says.
William Burns and Thomas Kyon.

A Brick-IIearted Elm.

In New Brunswick. N. j.. is an elm
tree that literally has a heart of stone,
II flintlike bricks and mortar may SO
be classified. A long time ago the elm
was one of the three large trees plant
ed around the grave OF a famous In
dian chief, but with the growth of the
town two of the trees we're cut down to
give place to a street. The remaining
elm at once began to die at the heart,
and in a few years the trunk was hon
eycombed by insects. Then at a
Fourth of July celebration the punk
like heart caught fire n burned out.
Supported by a thin shell OF a trunk.
the tree threatened to fall In any high
wind. Then II occurred to Its owner.
Mrs. Elmendorf. to have the inside
filled with brick and mortar. This was
done, and for years the big tree has
rested on Its stony support, getting Its
nourishment through the bark and
shading the home of Its benefactor.

A SOaD Hubble Trick.

II Ia easy enough to blow threa
soap bubbles, one inside OF another.
The important matter Is to have the
right kind OF water to make good bub-
bles. Take some soap containing n
large amount OF glycerine. or better
still, take one-third OF a part OF chemi-
cally pure glycerine and n and one
third distilled water containing a lit
tie oleic acid natron. Make W tubes
out OF rolled wrapping paper, cover
ing the paper with mucilage on both
sides before rolling It up. Let n
tube be about an inch In diameter at
the outer end and the other two
inches. Whip the water up so that II
is soapy, and after a little experiment.
ing, II soap is used, the proper con-
sistency will be obtained. so that the
bubbles stand well. DO not blow the
bubbles In too warm a room. as the
evaporation bursts them. Then cover
a plate with a thin layer OF the soap
water. Blow a bubble from the widest
tube and lay It gently on the plate.
Soak the other smaller tube In the
soapy water, 80 that 1t is wet some
distance from the outer end. Then
very gently insert the tube and blow
a bubble with 1t in the large bubble
already on the plate. Now you have
two bubbles inside OF one another. To
make the third. take a common clay
pipe, wet It we'll on the outside In the
soapy water, and then, inserting 1t
very gently into the inner Of the other
Two bubbles, blow a bubble, not too
large, and have father fill II with
smoke from his cigar. through the
pipe, to make 1t more distinct. Re-
lease the bubble from the pipe end,
withdraw the pipe and you have three
bubbles miraculously inside of each
other, or at least. II seems miraculous
to any one who does not know how 1t
is done.

GOLDBRI(K
Hastings Banker Invests the
Sum Of S13,6OO.
A STRANGERS VERY SMOOTH WORK


william Kerr, president of the Adams
county bank at Hastings, Neb., and
N of the w%ealthiest citizens of Ne
braska, is the possessor Of a gold brick
that has cost him $3.50 and much
agony of mind. On Decoration day he
was approached by an ordinary look
ing stranger who introduced himself
as an old time partner of Albert Kerr
a cousin to Mr.. Kerr and for whom he
was now looking. Mr.. Kerr finally
ascertained that the stranger was a
miner who with an old Indian had To-
Gated a gold mine Of untold value in
Old Mexico and that they had a brick
OF the precious metal they had taken
from the mine. The stranger was
looking for the cousin. whom he ex-
pccted to let in ON the find. He said
that both he and his Indian partner
were ignorant of the mining laws, and
they were anxious to interest some one
who would look after their interests.
The strangers appearance and the
plausibility of his story so impressed
Mr.. Kerr that he left with him that
evening for a place near Leavenworth.
Kan. Arriving there he was conduct
ed at midnight to "A cave in the woods.
where they were met by the Indian.
The brick was produced and some of it
taken out with a gimlct by Mr.. Kerr.
This he took to Kansas City. where lie
had it assayed. The result showed a
value of $50 an ounce, making the
brick at that ratio worth SIS. 900. Mr..
Kerr drew on his bank here for Sl3. 900,
the sum the owners of the brick had
fixed as their price, and returned to
Leavenworth.
Another visit was made to the cave
and the exchange was made. Mr.. Kerr
came home with the understanding
that the stranger was to meet him here
last Sunday with the papers to convey
to Mr.. Kerr o third interest in the
mine. Sunday came, but no stranger,
and as the days passed Mr.. Kerr be-
came anxious.
A suspicion took possession of his
mind that he had been buncoed or was
in possession of stolen goods, and on
last Wednesday he expressed the brick
to David II. Moffat, president Of the
First National bank of Denver to have
it assayed, also with the idea of taking
steps to clear himself should it prove
to have been stolen.
