COIN. BACK.

I've packed my traps and I'm goin' back
where the fields are green and proad. :
Ard the colts. with their legs all doupIeu
up, are rollin' on the sod;
They'll smile, 1 s'pose, when they see me
come, and they'll, some Of en- hKely
say
They thought I'd forsaken the farm for
good the day that went away
But let 'em smile-I'm goin' back-Im SICK
of the noise and fuss.
Where a couple of dollars COUNT Tor more
than the life of a common cuss' .
They'll nobody notice I've went away
you told EN- they wouldn't care
But somebody's face'u be full of joy when
she greets her boy back there.
I'm goin' back, for I've had nay fll-IYe
saw what there is to see;
The city may still be the place for you' Out
it's lost It's charm for me;
And won't 1 be lonesome there you say
with the people so far apart!
Well, rnebby they're few and far between
hut each of ems got heart;
There amt TO hundreds of thousands theFs
to push you around, know,
Not carin' cent where you're comm from
or whexe you're tryin' to go-
For the one that's jostled day after DAY
There amt a Ionesomer place on earth
than the city's crowded street.
I'm goin' back where the dogs asleep On
the step by the kitchen door,
with his nose pushed down between MS
paws-I'm sick of the smoke ana rear
There's money TO make where the cro"os
are thick and they're tryin' to rip
things loose
there's money to get If you've got the grit.
but, dang it all! what's the use?
They hustle for dollars all through the
day and dream of dollars in bed,
And forgive the gougin' a fellow may do
as long as he gets ahead
They hustle and hustle ana coop tnem-
selves In dark little holes and fret
And honor person accordin' to the money
he's managed to get.
I'm goin' back where the poplars stand in
tall rows down-Jhe lane,
Where the bobsled's settin' beside the barn,
defyin' the sun and rain;
Where the birds are singin away as
though they were hired to fill the air
With a sweetness that nobody ever can
know who was never boy out there
I'm goin' back where they'll not expect me
to sit in the kitchen when
I'm courtin the girl l love because I'm
workin' for other men
Where the richest among emil shake my
hand, instead OF lettin' me see
That they think the money they've got
must make them a blamed sight bet
ter than me.
I'm goin' back, and you'll stay here and
rush, in the same cid way,
Coin to work and then goin' home-the
same thing day by day
And you'll think you're havin' a high old
time and I'll pity you, lookin' back
(From where whistle across the fields) at
you in the same old track
Tn gon' back, but the crowds won't know.
and they'll still keep rushin' on;
They'll never notice that some ones face
is missin when I am gone
No, they'll never notice that some ones
gone-if they did they wouldn't care
But every tree'n be noddn' to me when !
turn up the lane back there.

VALUABLE HISTORIC RELIC.
washinston's sword to BE sold By
Descendant for the Sake OF =
Pretty Baby.

Miss Virginia Lewis, who has at last
consented to sell the sword of Wash
ington, for which she once refused
$4,000, was turned from her desire to
keep it by the prattlings OF baby, and
that baby is certainly entitled to the
money, if blood counts for anything.
Mrs. Grace Lee Lewis Mann is the
mother of the baby, and the niece of
Miss Lewis, who set out for Baltimore
a little while ago to sell the sword.
Miss Lewis has already negotiated by
mail and in person with the Metropol-
itan museum of New York, but the
museum disagrees with her in mat
ter of $4,000. She wants 100000 for
the heirloom, and its offer has not yet
gone above the half of that price, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t certainly has accomplished about
enough for one sword already. 1t at
tended to the settling of some French
men and some Indians in very neat
manner, and later on it showed the
British a trick or two. It might have
earned rest by this time, one would
| think, but no. It is to bring a neat
price that Baby Mann may have what
her mother calls more mice things"
when she grows up.
The line by which Mrs. Mann traces
her connection with George Washing
ton is a long one, full of distinguished
people. She is to join the Society of
| Colonial Danes. A lot of people
would give their eyes to be able to
| squeeze into the Danes by even one
ancestor: two makes you a distin-
| quished member. Look at the names
on Mrs. Mann's application:
On the paternal side she claims lin
cal descent from Hon. John Lewis,
Hon. Augustine Darner, Col. Lawrence
| Washington, Col. Augustine Washing
ton, Col. Fielding Lewis. On the ma
ternal side she claims lineal descent
from Gov. Samuel Ogle, Gov. Benjamin
Tasker, William Bladen, Col. John
Tayloe, Hon. Henry Corbin.
Any one of these ancestors would
entitle her to become member of the
Colonial Danes. All of them together
make her tenfold a member, and that
is more than enough for one 17-year-
old woman. But she has the further
audacity to have George Washington
for her great-great-great-
This comes through the marriage OF
Washington, the presidents sister.
When Mrs. Mann was baptized the
water with which she was sprinkled
was contained in Washington's punch
bowl. When the baby was baptized a
year ago the same punch bowl made
the trip from Baltimore to serve as g
| font for her.
To this same small Betty Washing
ton Mann is to come the heritage o.
the price of the ancestral sword. 1
was exhibited at the worlds fair, anC
Miss Lewis was offered $4,000 for it
Later on it went to Tiffany's, and it,
owner refused a much larger sum fol
it. She has set her valuation at $10o,
900 and that price she has determined

grandniece of the distinguished line
age.

UNITED STATES AND TURKEY,
How the AIOsIems Were Brought to
book on an Indemnity
Claim.

Several years ago, when Turkish
mobs were numbering Armenians in
Asia Minor, they looted and burned
the buildings of Euphrates college at
Harpoot. There was no one to take
up the cause, of the Armenians; but
Euphrates college was an American
institution, esta blished by American
money and carried on by American
missionaries, says Youths COmpan-
ion.
The destruction of this property
and of similar property at Marash be-
came the basis for claim for indemn-
ity which the government of the Unit
ed States Immediately brought
against Turkey, and has been pressing
at intervals ever since. It was a long
time before the sultan was induced to
admit responsibility, and longer
time before he was brought to the
point of promising payment. But in
the Turkish scheme of affairs, promise
and performance are often long way
apart
A few weeks ago the battleship Ken
lucky dropped anchor off Smyrna, and
her commander went to Constanti-
nople to visit the American charge
d'affaires. While he was there the
long standing account was settled;
not directly, but under cover of con-
tract for building a cruiser in the
United States, the missionary claims
being figured into the contract price.
About this time a new question
arose. The Turkish government re-
fused to give its exequatur, or official
recognition, to DR.. Norton, whom the
United States had appointed consul at
Harpoot. If it had objected to him as
| persona non grata, its objection must
have sufficed, and new consul would
| have been designated; but it's objec-
ton was to recognizing any consul
there. Turkey is bound by treaty to
allow American ccnsulates to be es-
tablished wherever commerce re-
quires them, but it holds that there is
| no commerce at Harpoot. It is also
bound by treaty to give the United
| States the same treatment as the
''most favored nation;" and as it has
| recognized q British consul at Har-
poot, the American claim for consul
there rests both on treaty and prece-
dent.
Turkey pursued the same course
when the United States commissioned
a consul at Erzeroum, another mis-
sionary and educational center in
Asia Minor. where large numbers OF
Armenians were massacred. But the
consul went to Erzeroum notwith-
| standing, and DIR. Norton has gone to
Harpoot.

In the evening he puts in his best

sHERIDAN's BIRTHPLACE.
New York and Ohio Both Claimed the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
General.

If the events of coming fame would
cast a longer shadow before, an ad-
mixing people would keep more care
full record of the birthplace of men
destined to be heroes. In this way
much controversy might be saved.
An old New Hampshire man of a
former generation, who may have
thought that he saw fame coming his
way, wished to establish at least one
fact beyond a doubt. To this end hes
began a speech in his native town by
saying: 81 was born in Blanl1town,
I was always born in Blanktown, and
I always meant to be born in Blank
town."
Among the heroes of many battles
and of more than one reputed birth
place, was Gen. Philip Sheridan. Al
bany, n. Y, claims him as her son.
and wishes to erect an equestrian
statue to him. State Historian Hugh
Hastings ably backs up the claim
Ohio also claims Sheridan for the
town of Somerset. And when he was
mentioned as a possible candidate for
the presidency, it was said that he
was born in Ireland. This led Sheri-
dan to tell Mr.. Hastings, with en-
phasis, that he was born in Albany,
n. Y.
Even then the public gossips were
not satisfied, and other places still
pressed their claims. This provoked
Gen. Sheridan to remark:
eff this thing keeps on I soon shall
be bigger man than old Homer,
with more than seven cities contend
ing for my birth"
The claim of Albany seems strong
enough to warrant the statue.

story of a Dog.

On the lawn of Christ hospital in
Jersey City there is a mound of earth
and at its head is a board marked,
"Only Jip." Jip was the dog which
ran with the hospital ambulance. One
morning last winter, as William Bax-
ter, the ambulance driver, was groom
ing his horse, the dog limped into the
hospital yard with a crushed paw, and
was given attendance, the driver act
ing as physician and nurse combined.
The bruise quickly healed and J:p, as
he was called, soon became part and
parcel of the institution. The ambu-
lance never answered a call without
him. But one day William, the driver,
decided to sever his connection with
the hospital, and sent word to the
authorities to that effect. They got
a successor for him, and as William
was showing the new driver around,
and breaking him in, Jip knew some
thing war going to happen. He saw
a new face on the drivers box and
became restless. When William shook
hands with everyone py way of good
by, Jip kept a close watch on his old
master, but he was not allowed to ac-
company him. Then when the new
driver took the ambulance out for
the first time, it is alleged, Jip DELHI
erately lay down and allowed the
wheels to pass over his body. The
grave, with its pathetic board, "Only
Jip," marks the resting place Of the
faithful animal.-Golden Days.

In his argument the attorney made
numerous citations OF law, OF refer

verify, as he cannot afford to trust
anything to the attorneys say SO. It
may have been a forced interpreta-

that he must be thoroughly posted
