WALKED FROM BALTIMORE.

Dutch Electrician Spent n Cents on
the Way to Brooklyn.
Herman Mendrick Edewart Osten-
DIFF Of Harlem, Holland, asked Police
man Schilp at the New York end Of
the Brooklyn bridge last night how to
get to Alabama avenue. Brooklyn,
where he said his old schoolmate,
William Block, lived. Ostendorf said
he was an electrician, and that he had
walked to New York from Baltimore.
He carried bag of electricians
tools, and said that when he left Bal
timore he had only u cents, and he
proudly produced 1 cent of it. On the
way from Baltimore he had slept
wherever he could find shelter. He
reached this country six weeks ago,
having come as an oiler on the
steamer Chatois from Rotterdam.
Since reaching this country he has
learned that his wife Is i'll in a hos
pital at Rotterdam, and that his twin
babies, seven weeks old. have died.
Policeman schilp went among the
policemen and collected dollar for
Ostendorf, which he accepted after
much persuasion.-New York World.

lives; he spends money everywhere;
he comes to Paris with a notice from
his Italian bankers giving him I'm.
limited credit on a Paris bank. There
is no limit on what he can draw from
NJ. DANGERS. 1t is entirely unprece-
dented. Nothing like it was ever
known before. He draws 100000
francs and ruins the banker and still
has no complaint from his Roman
house. He rights wrongs; he saves
more lives; he Furnishes the guilty by
the use Of unlimited wealth. And
then by and by he leaves Macmillan
on the island Of Monte Cristo with his
bride and sails away AS Macmillan
sees his ship disappear on the horizon
he finds Monte Cristo's will leaving
him his whole fortune. This fortune,
Dumas suggests in two or three
places, was 100,000,000 francs $780,
100000 1t is the greatest private
fortune the Frenchman could con-
ceive of in 1844-it is considerably
less than the income of John D. Rookie
teller in 1908.
So you might run on if it did not
tire the brain to conceive more. But,
most remarkable Of all, this one in
dividual made his unprecedented
wealth with his own brains.

These are strange times in the &C.
emulation of fortunes stranger than
any fiction could ever have made
them. Think of it for a moment! An
Grew Carnegie, a canny little Scotch
hoy, came to this unknown land a few
decades ago barefooted and last year
}offered to settle the Venezuelan i'm
broglio between Germany, England,
France and Italy and the South Ameri-
can republic by loaning Venezuela the
entire sum of these international
debts. And yet fortune so huge as
to permit of such offers is as nothing
to the power Of another man. Mr..
Rockefeller, personally a quiet Ameri-
can citizen from Cleveland, simple
liver, with few habits Of luxury, could
easily buy half {. dozen of the indie
pendent kingdoms Of Europe; could
without feeling it to any great extent
in his pocketbook take up the debts
of all the republics Of Central and
South America.

published a book called ':The Count

is the fabulous wealth Of an individu-

Mental vigor is gained, not by
memorizing or through teachers and
professors, but by that mental self

One self-wrought problem will give

+" Miss Jane 2Addams has called house
keeping one Of the belated industries.
Little has been, done to systematic
and beautify the routine Of daily home
life, at least in the kitchen. To col
lege women this task belongs, of up
lifting household drudgery into the re-
gion of applied science. Cooking can
be made fascinating by the introduce
ton of dainty tastes, efficient appli-
ances and individual discrimination
into the everyday work of preparing
food for the household. The same
new life can be infused into every
branch of housekeeping. The furnish
ing and care of rooms is an art in
itself. The stuffy parlors, bedrooms
and dining rooms of our grandmothers
would not pass muster under the eye
Of a modern home-maker who under
stands her business.
Business? Yes, used the word.
Housekeeping or home-making is an
occupation which may be called bust
ness, for it is the main work of mil
lions of women who have no other task
or vital interests in life The trouble
is that the mass of women do not rec.
ognize this activity as business, pre-
pare themselves for it, and then apply
themselves to it with a determination
to make it a success.-Woman's Home

Pat Mcbride and |

These verses, says the Chicago
Post, were written by Otto F. Pearre,
a lawyer, who died in Pontiac in 1897.
We do not know that they are to be
found in any compilation of poems,
but the lines, as taken from a scrap
book, are as follows:
Stretching away on every side
A fair domain you see;
A part belongs to Pat Mcbride,
A part belongs to me.
I own the golden light Of morn,
With all its tints that play
Upon the springing grass and corn
Pat owns the corn and hay.
own the cat-bird, thrush and jay,
The larks that sing and soar
Pat owns the barnyard fowls that stay
About his stable door.
But where the shadows on yon stream
Are changing every hour,
own the right to float and dream
Pat owns the water power.
Mine is the murmur of this rill,
Whose sweet tones never cease,
But all the air with music fill
Pat owns that flock Of geese.
I own yOn creamy summer cloud,
That o er the meadow floats
Like some pure angel in a shroud-
Pat owns those Berkshire shoats.
Mine are these drops of dew that shine
And fill my wild rose full;
These tiny violets are mine
Pat owns that mighty bull.
Where such things can be got for pelf
Pat buys the finest breeds,
I hold communion with myself
Pat holds the title deeds

~ ~: =. u IS BIT.

The critical moment had arrived
che fond, proud parents were casting
around for name to tack on the
baby. .s.
"Now look here, mamma" Mr..
O'Bottle said to his wife; that boy is
going to have a name that can't be
converted into a nickname. My own
name is William, and ever since
was knee high to grasshopper I've
been called Bill, Billy, Willy, Will, or
some other such title. Understand,
therefore, that if the boy does not get
a name impossible of caricature he
will get none. Nicknames are the
worst sores in a mans life"
1t happened that exactly twelve
neighbors latter the manner of good
neighbors) had taken the trouble to-
write upon slip of paper that which
@~-- considered suitable name and,
~-lnge, no two names were alike. The
young mother and father surveyed
the list.

"Tommy' would sound pretty"
Bill announced interestedly.
"'Andrew' seems to be Mrs. Jones'
choice.
"She ought to have more sense.
Andy, have you split the kindling?'
Nice, don't you think?"
William O'Bottle was beginning to
wax sarcastic. He felt insanity swift
ly approaching. But then he always
had opined his neighbors free from
brains; he needn't have been so sur
prised at their guesses.

cient to wad gun. Fancy having to
call out: BERTHE, mamma wants you'll
or Birdie, did I not forbid you swim
ming with your clothes on?' Madam,
your neighbors were evidently reared
with cartoonists."
Mrs. O'Bottle received this volley
of verbal vitriol calmly. what shall
the boy be called, then?" she asked
meekly.
Bill thought hard for moment; let
his muscles have rest; cooled down
bit. Soon he jumped to his feet.
II have it," he cried; "his name
shall be Ralph. There's no nickname
for that; at least, not to my knowl
edge. Then he'll be safe.'
So Ralph the boy became, and his
father was we'll pleased, and nightly
proud of his doughty deed of digging
designations. But one week after the
boy had been christened some Of
Billy's intimate friends came to the
house, and naturally the fond father
was forced to exhibit his offspring

Pat rises when the morn is new,
And SO, sometimes, do I;

AS I am passing by.
His muscles seem to be of steel,
But mine som etimes relax;
While he SO sturdy seems to feel,

I hide them in my breast;

And sticks it in his vest.

Pat owns that clover field in fact,
And so I sadly fear
That love of gain will make him act
Just as he did last year.
The crimson blooms I priced so high
He cut without remorse,
And sold the seed off by-and-by,
And bought a Norman horse.
No man has wealth enough to buy
NV part in this domain,
I would not sell my clouds and sky,
MY shadows on the plain;
would not sell this golden light,

Gold has no power to buy my right
For money Pat would sell.

At our possessions fair;

While do Pat no harm,

We both enjoy the farm.
