The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-07-30


There's a beautiful golden cradle,
That rocks in the rose red sky;
I have seen it there in the evening air,
When the bats and beetles fly;
With little white clouds for curtains,
And pillows of fieecy wool.
And dear little bed for the Moon
Baby's head,
So tiny and beautiful.
There are tender young stars around 1t,
That wait for their bath of dew
In the purple tints that the suns warm
prints
Have left on the mountain blue;
There are good little gentle planets
That wait to be nursed and kissed
And laid to sleep in the ocean deep,
Under silvery folds of mist.
But the Moon Baby first must slumber,
For he is their proud young king;
SO, hand in hand, round his bed they
stand
And lullabies low they sing,
And the beautiful golden cradle
Is rocked by the winds that stray,
With pinions soft, from the halls aloft,
Where the Moon Baby lives by day.

Four first-class educational institu-

is a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and for
three years was dean of women at the
University of Wisconsin. She has
many professional and scholastic
honors, and Brown, an old and once
very conservative institution, honors
itself by giving her a position of such
responsibility.

Proceed to eat the lunch upon

And turn inside the gate,
And lie in bed and wonder just

RIVAL TO slLkEN FANS.
Looks Like an Egg Beaten, But Makes
q Stunning Draught,

A man without sense Of romance
has invented and patented mechani-
cal hand fan and sets it up as rival
or the toy gauze and lace which has
been feminine weapon through un-
told ages. Ills fan buzzes and it not
beautiful, but it provides a steady
draught of cool air.
In appearance it is a cross between
an egg beater and a glove stretcher
It is made of wood and brass, and he
asserts that in expert hands it can
be made to reach a speed of 5000
revolutions a minute and will throw
a current Of air as far as an electric
fan of the same SIZE
1t works by compression in the
hand two wooden handles of a glove
stretcher-like arrangement A ratch-
ct and two small cog wheels at the
end of the arms transmit this force
to the blades of the fan which are
miniature electro fan baldes Both
of these are detachable so that the
fan may be easily carried when not
in use.
The inventor says that he has
disposed of 1000 of his hand fans in
a few months He isn't sanguine Of
it's general adoption by the gent1er
sex, but he thinks that lots of men
would use it in hot weather. Senti-
ment oughtn't to play any part in
comfort seeking, he says, but he has
to admit that it generally does.-New

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
How Ole Bull Kept His Word to a
Steamer Crowd.

How Ole Bull Kept His Word to
Steamer Crowd.
Although Ole Bull, the violinist,
crossed the ocean many times, he
made a strict rule never to play at
the charity concert, always
feature of the Atlantic voyages. He
made one exception, however, and
that exception was recalled with
keenest interest by an old resident of
New Orleans in conversation with a
representative of the Times-Demo-
Graz.
The incident occurred in 1873 on
the steamer Celtic, which had on
board, among other notable passen.
gers, Ole Bull, Chief Justice Waite
and Prof. B. r. Anderson, afterwards
minister to Denmark The steamer
concert was proposed, and as usual
Ole Bull declined to take part. The
passengers were deeply disappointed,
and at this crisis Prof Anderson
came to the rescue.
There is one way, and one only"
he said, Tin which our man may be
caught. A fund is being raised. at
present to erect a statue of Left Erik
son, the Norseman, at Madison, Wis
consin, where live. Ole Bull is in
tensely patriotic, and if we made a
ceeds of the concert were to be con-
tributed to do this honor to his i'm
mortal fellow countryman, | am sure
he would consent to play"
The suggestion was greeted with ap-
plause, and Chief Justice Waite pre-
pared the memorial, which was most
ingenious and elaborate document
Duly signed by all the passengers, it
was presented to Ole Bull, and when
he saw the purport of the paper his
face lighted up with pleasure, and he
declared Immediately that he would
play
He was as good as his word, and al
though / have heard him many times
| never heard him in such wonderful
form and spirit. He responded to en-
core after encore, until at last the cap
tain, who was a typical Englishman
rose in the audience and asked him to
play God Save the Queen.
Now Ole Bull was a Violent repubii-
can, and had little respect for mon
archcial institutions of any kind
However, he bowed, courterously, and
whispered TO me: "You heard me
promise to play God Save the Queen.
Now wait till come to that" Finally
it was reached and. true to his prom
Use, he gave the British anthem, but
without spirit or color.
Instantly upon its conclusion he
swept into the stirring strains Of
Hail, Columbia, and played with
magnificent dash and fire. Then with
no stop he passed to the Norwegian
Hymn of Liberty, a most thrillingly
patriotic composition. The manner
in which he rendered it was simply
electrifying Then, as he finished, he
caught my eye and smiled. He had
buried God Save the Queen so deep
that nobody remembered that it had
been played.-Youths' Companion.
