And all the morning Peter and Ellen
played with Baby Louise, and little
Ellen was so happy she forgot all
about her own birthday present! And
when they were at the dinner table
grandpa laughed, and said
Where is that monkey that little
Ellen was ging to buy with her birth
day money, and where is that wonder
full parrot that talks2"
And Ellen clapped her hands, and
said:
"Or grandpa, 1 was so happy with
Baby Louise I forgot all about my
monkey and parrot"

We'll, after dinner you may ride
Baby Louise to town, and I viii ride

And right away after dinner papa
got on his big black horse, and Peter
and Ellen got on Baby Louise, and
away they rode to town.
And Ellen did not wear his overalls
to town but a beautiful little scarlet
dress, and no one thought that she
was a little boy this time, but every
one said:

And when they came to the town
they rode to an animal store and
bought pet tame monkey, and then
they went to a bird store and bought
a beautiful parrot.
And Ellen said:
I'm just little bit afraid of that
monkey and I'm a very little afraid
of that parrot, tool"
And the parrot put his head on one
side, and looked at Ellen and said:
La, child, you don't say!"
And everyone laughed. "Ha, ha!
o, what a clever parrot"
And Peter carried the monkey and
papa carried the parrot, and Peter and
Ellen got on the pony and papa got
on his horse, and they started home.
And Peter said:
You may call my pony part yours

MRS. BARTON's FERRY.
A Pioneer i'm the Woman Movement
Ignorant of Her Claim 10 Distinc-

A Pioneer I'm the Woman Movement
Ignorant of Her Claim TO Distinc-
ton.
New York, Dec. 6.-Effa Ann Barton
of Oswego, N. Y, having run a steam
ferryboat across the Susquehanna riv-
er for more than a quarter of a CEN
tury, may certainly lay claim to be-
ing a pioneer in the woman movement,
though that would undoubtedly be the
last thing she would think of.
Without in the least knowing 1t, and
without having the slightest idea that
she was doing anything to help along
the cause" she has for nearly three
decades been an object lesson for the
Woman's Rights Party. Mrs. Barton
found a work close at hand. She took
hold of 1t, and through long and dreary
years followed 1t patiently and faith
fully never dreaming that she was
working In unison with those who
had the interests of woman near their
hearts.
Thirty years or more ago Mr.. Rens-
selaer Barton bought the ferry and in
vented two fiat iron boats propelled
by an engine for carrying passengers
with greater speed and comfort. At
first the men folk of the family ran
the ferry. but as they made or. at
least, saved no money out of II, Mrs.
Barton herself took hold of 1t and
speedily made 1t a success.
For the half of a lifetime she has
stood manfully at her post, early and
late, never falling to answer the signal
from either shore. She feeds the en-
CINE and cleans and cares for II with
fatrf hcIr Tl.rrt - III q
her work her husband used to spell
her" occasionally, that she might have
needed rest, but usually he claimed
TO have been warned through a dream
that he would meet his death on the
ferryboat; after that, so long as he
lived, he refused to set foot on board.
Mrs. Barton's face is so lined and
scanned from exposure to wind and
sun that Il is hard to Judge of her
age. but she must be near the Biblical
limit. Her square jaw and firmly set
mouth are indications OF a rugged
character, and IL she is in a laxative
mood her quaint conversation is very
interesting. She utterly declined to
allow me to take her picture, although
she willingly gave her consent TO hav-
ing the ferryboat photographed. at
amt going to let anybody have a pic
ture to point at when ! am dead and
gone and say, That's the old woman
who used TO run the ferry" was the
way she worded her refusal.
The old woman in the ferryboat
wears a loosely made, short calico
gown. with her face almost concealed
by great gingham sunbonnet. When
not carrying passengers she sits In
an old chair inside the ferry house and
knits the hours away. ETA Ann Bar
ton is a unique and picturesque figure
in the history OF that part Of the coun-
try, and withal a woman whose hon
esty and integrity of character are
spoken Of with respect and admiration
by all who know her.

No one outside clergyman's family.
says the New York Times. knows the
queer requests made of clergymen and
the odd things they sometimes feel
called upon to do for the benefit Of
their parishioners. One of the queer
est on record was a proposal made
by one minister to a man in his parish
for the benefit of a widow who felt
some delicacy in taking the step her
self but who was confident that the
result would be one that would be de-
sirable all around. The minister was
one of the most cultivated of men, a
man who in his own circle was con-
sidered a little reserved, and even diff
fident but a man of distinguished man
ners and possessed of great delicacy
He was making a pastoral call upon
a poor widow one day when she
preached the subject to him. She was
a woman who was assisted by the par
ish and she approached the minister
from an economic standpoint which she
thought might appeal to him. II she
was only married she would no longer
require charity from the parish, she
said. and then she unfolded her plan.

a man no older than he feels. The
fact is people bring upon themselves
the appellation of "old bachelor" and

to any one who retains well-regulat-

COMMISSIONING HOME
Tammany Chief Intends to Start From
~ 4.A. England on Saturday.
TO LEAD MAYORALTY FIGHT
Gives No Sign of Being Disturbed by
Recent Police Disclosures In
New York and Is In Ex-
ce1lent Health.

London, Sept. 3.-Richard Croker will
sail for New York next Saturday.
This announcement has just been
made by the chief of Tammany. His
purpose in going to New York is to
take personal charge of the mayoralty
campaign for Tammany Hall.
On Saturday next the American line
steamer st. Paul starts from South
ampton, and the Cunard line steam
ship Lucania leaves Liverpool. What
steamer Mr.. Croker will take he has
not yet made Known. They are the
only steamers of Importance booked to
sail on Saturday, and upon one or the
other he will be a passenger.
So far ms anything can be learned,
Mr.. Croker has given no sign Of what
he will do in view of the recent police
disclosures. If the New York scandals
nre disturbing his mind, he gives no
sign of it. He is in excellent health
and apparently in good spirits.
Many reports regarding Mr.. Croker
and his plans and doings have been
aiioat of late which his announced pur-
pose to return to New York will give q
uuietus to.
One report was that Mr.. Croker in
tended to settle in England permanent
ly, captivated with the delights of Eng
lish rural life. Another was that he
had secretly gone aboard the steamer
Philadelphia and had sailed for New
York incogDito ON last Saturday.

THE DANISH ISLES DEAL.
No Word From Newell Tint Our
Terms Have Been Accepted.

Washington, Sept. 3.-rhc state de-
partmcnt has as yet no word from
Minister Newell of the successful close
of the negotiations looking to the acqui-
sition by the United States of the
Danish West Indian islands,
The department has left this matter
almost entirely in Mr. Newelrs hands,
and his reports have indicated a belief
that he would be able to arrange n
treaty in readiness for submission to
congress at its next session.
The price named in the latest Euro
pcan dispatches namely, $500, ,00O--is
believed to be slightly above the mark,
for $I.0O0,000 represented the maxi
mum figure referred TO in the earlier
stages of the negotiations, and it was
expected that the deal could be made
at So. 100000.
If the treaty is drawn, as now seems
probable, il will require action on the
part of both branches of congress, I'M

house must provide the necessary ap-
