"LlTTLE DROPS OF WATER"

, LITTLE DROPS OF WATER. "
Who Wrote Its-TwO ReDuted Au-
thOrs Brushed Aside.
Librarian John Ashhurst of the Mer.
camille library has made further inves-
tigation into the claims OF Mrs. Julia
A. Carney for memorial as the au-
thor of the popular childhood hymn,
Little Things" This time the author
ship is even Geaied Florence Sargent
Osgood, who apparently disputed the
claims of the Goldsburg woman.
Superintendent Brooks, who denied
the request that the school children be
permitted to contribute to a fund for
Mrs. Carney, also made some inquiries
on his own account, but could not find
the poem among the books in the board
Of education library. In the diction-
ary Of hymnology edited by John Jul
ian, NJ. A., an article written by Jul
ian himself gives DR.. E. c. Brewer as
the author of Little Things" it being
published by him in 1S4S in Reading
and Spelling" Subsequently the verses
were altered and appeared in other ju-
venile publications.
The original (or Brewer version of
Little Things" reads:
Little drops of water,
Little grains Of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
Make the beauteous land
Straw by straw the sparrow
Builds its cozy nest;
Leaf by leaf the forest
Stands in verdure drest.
Letter after letter
Words and books are mades
Little and by little
Mountains level laid.
Drop by drop is iron 4&-
Worn in time away; IL
Perseverance, patience,
Ever win their way.
Ever finished labor
Once did but begin.
Try and go on trying:
That's the way to win.
Subsequently an American version Of
the same poem appeared. Some ac-
credit this to Mrs. Carney, others to
Mrs. Osgood. This version is the one
largely used in Sunday school hymnals
If little folks. 1t reads: &
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand, q
Make the mighty ocean I
And the beauteous land. C
And the little moments, :
Humble though they be- =
Make the mighty ages '
OF eternity. T.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love, "
Make our earth an Eden b
Like the heaven above.
So our little errors il
Lead the soul astray
From the path of virtue N
Into sin to stray. hi
Little seeds of mercy, 81
Sown by useful hands,
Grow to bless the nations az
Far in heather lands. &c
This version has been in turn altered VI
I'd realtered in subsequent publica- in
ons. Fitzgerald in his STORY of Fa- tb
GUS Songs" gives the authorship of Jo
e lines to Mrs. Carney, but Libra
IN Ashhurst regards this as an error.

Mans Sleeves =
and WOman'S

One of the packing companies
that do bus ness In South Omaha,
Neb., has just issued an order that
ought to result In the establishing
of an important precedent. Notices
reading as follows were posted the
other day In the company's Office.
1--WE do not wish to see Our office
on a sausage.room basis. There
fore clerks must not roll up their
sleeves while at work In the Office,
We do not wish to cause any ply
steal discomfort, but sleeves must
stay down."
It was feared when the notices
were first posted that the girls EN-.
ployed In the Office were to be de-
priyed with the men of the rights
to wear their sleeves rolled above
their elbows. The manager of the
e Enlistment made haste, however
when the matter was brought to
his attention, to exempt the ladies
from the provisions Of the order.
They were assured when their pro
test was made that they might cor.
tlnue to exhibit their dimpled ell
bows a d the beauties OF their
biceps. aud what threatened for
awhile to be a public calamity was
averted.
Let no rash man assums to tell
the women how much of their arms
they may or may not exhibit In or
out of flee bouIs. Just now 1t IS
the fashion for women 10 60 about
with their sleeves rolled up The
young lady who wishes to be up TO
da e, whether she plays golf,
is a clerk In dry goods store or
dalies with the keys of the type
writer, must have sunburned arms.
This will explain why well'dressed
young women 60 through the
streets with their sleeves rolled up.
Many of them look very pretty, too.
One can almost imagine the grace.
full pictures they would make rolling
out dough for pies or pattlng out
unbaked loaves of bread into proper
shape.

Health is a magnet which irresistibly
draws the man to the woman IN hfe's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty; it puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let a woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease of the
delicate womanly organism. The first
step 10 perfect health is to cure womanly
diseases by the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It establishes regu-
larity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.
