will be as we'll paid for their time
and trouble as any of the others.
1t is all free. It is also State work,
and none should miss this oppor-
tunitv of meeting these ladies and
their work.
Mrs. Robbins has always been con-
nected with the farm and dairy
work. She made and sent the but
ter to the Paris (France) Exposition,
that was awarded the "Silver
Medap' and she will take great
pains in showing the ladies all she
can that will help them in their
household duties in connection with
butter, as well as Mrs. Wilcox, in
cheese making for family use or
sale. These ladies are anxious to
do all the good they can for their
lady friends along any of the lines
connected with their work.

Mr.. John Gould, of Ohio, will be-

certainly not disappointed, for it
was Warren's game from start to
finish.
Prosser and Mcneil were on the
points for the Stephenites, while
Davidson and Ahlers were War
ren's battery. Manager Johnson's
colts started the scoring business
in the first inning and kept it up
until the fourth, when they were
treated to a shut out which was re-
peated again in the fifth. In the
sixth, Carl went in the box and our
favorites celebrated his arrival by
punching hits and bringing in three
runs. The seventh was shut-out,
but by heavy batting in the eighth
and ninth four more runs were
added.
For Stephen, Mcneil crossed the
rubber in the first but after that,
there was nothing doing; until the
ninth when by a passed ball and a
couple Of hits two more runs we're
credited.
Errors were about even, Warren
having four to her credit while
Stephen had five, all of which were
expensive, but Warren had by far
the best of it at the bat, making
twelve hits, two of which were
three-baggers and one home run.

Clara Barton S Memory

During a G. A. r. encampment in
Washington few years ago Miss
Barton was at the head of the recep-
ton committee in the Capitol, and
hour after hour she shook hands with
the veterans. Suddenly lady stand
ing near Miss Barton noticed an old
man minus leg and an arm coming
up the line, with eyes all aglow, and
face full of anticipation. At length
lie reached Miss Barton. who shook
his hand and passed him along. with
the crowd.
He did not go far, however, and the
lady who had first observed him saw
the light die out Of his eyes and the
tears steal down his cheeks. Stepping
up to him she said gently, you know
Miss Barton?"
Know her, he exclaimed Know
her! Why she nursed me through
this, pointing pathetically to the
manned members.
At the sound of his. voice Miss Bar
tons remarkable memory asserted it
self, and reaching out both hands she
exclaimed, Why, John Riggs, IS that

full to hundreds of colored families
who live on the estate and work for
her husband. She teaches the wo-
men how to look after their babies
properly, and what to do in case of
sickness. On lonely plantation, per
haps twenty or thirty miles from the
nearest doctor, she keeps big medi-
cine chest and acts as physician to the
countryside.
| know Jamaica woman, the wife
Of a coffee planter, who once vaccin-
ated everybody for miles around her
husbands estate when there was a
smallpox scare. There was no doc
tor within reach, SO she journeyed to
town and got a supply of vaccine and
instructions how to use it. Her
promptness and courage probably
saved scores of lives
After this, nobody will be surprised
to hear that the planters wife super
intends the laborers on the estate
when her husband is away. You can
often see her directing a gang who
are making up a road on the planta
ton, picking coffee or planting bana
mas.
Many of these Jamaican planters
belong to the oldest and noblest Eng
lish families, just like the old South
erners. Their ancestors immigrated
generations ago, and the plantations
and the family plate and family pride
have been handed down for perhaps a
couple of hundred years after leaving
the old country. Such a life as that
which Thackeray has described in the
earlier chapters of The Virginians"
is lived to-day, in much the same fash
ion, on many Jamaican plantations
There is. the same generous hospi-
tality, the same pride, the same solic-
itous care for dependents, the same
free, open air, rollicking life.
The Planters Home Is "The Great
House" There.
The planters residence is called the
great house." as it was in the South,
and the planters house servants are
looked upon as the luckiest of the ne
groes on the plantation. They have
all the faithfulness and all the lively
wit and humor which is associated
with the Southern darkey, and their
habits and amusements correspond to
his. He dances the cake-walk; they
dance the "shay-shay." He tells Uncle
Remus stories; they tell Anancy
stories, which are very similar. They
make up songs about the events of
the day, Just as he did in the good old
times, and those songs eventually be-
come enshrined in folk lore.
For example, plantation "busha"
(overseer) named Bayse was going to
be married. Telling the news to one
another, it was natural for the planta
ton hands to put it in the form of a
song:
'Busha Bayse go marry to-marra,
Marry to-marra, marry to-marra;
Busha Bayse a go marry to-marra,
Blow me organic, blowp

collection which has made
that section of the museum in which
it is the finest in the world-was
given to it by man who began life
as a carpenter and who did not begin
to study science until he was forty
one years of age. His life shows that
it is never too late to achieve great
success.
Ralph Dupuy Lacoe was this mans
name. His father was carpenter,
and he followed the trade. He was
working as carpenter when he was
twenty-six years old. Then he un-
dertook to cut railroad ties to supply
a railroad being built near his home
in Pittston, Pa, and with the money
thus earned he bought coal lands. He
gradually became prosperous, though
never more than modestly rich.
When he was forty-one years old
his health failed, and he was forced
TO go to Florida. To pass away the
time, he collected specimens of marine
growths He fell in love with the
work, and, despite his illness, he
studied earnestly, and in the end be-
came one of the most valued of. Amer
lean students of insect and plant life
His chief branch was the study of
extinct and fossil insects and plants,
and the collection which he finally
gave to his country, by his gift to the
National Museum, comprises nearly
100000 specimens Of paleozoic plants.
Later he gave his fossil insects and
fishes, which made the National Mu-
scum collection as perfect as any in
the world

The speakers were an old negro
mana" or nurse, on a Jamaican plan
tation and the planters wife, a Colo
NAL Englishwoman. The mana
might have been one of the old man
mics" of the South before the Civil
War. She fitted the part exactly. The
planters wife-tall, stately, patrician
in every line Of her figure and every
feature, but gentle and kindly withal
-resembled those women who in
spired the Southern chivalry one hears
and reads so much about. And these
two women fitted into the picture well,
for the whole plantation, with its
busy, merry life, might have been a
slice cut out of the old South of ante
bellum days.
Poets and novelists have deplored
the passing of the old South. If they
would only take the short sea trip
down to Jamaica they would find the
old Southern life being lived in all
its glory on hundreds of plantations
there. The only notable difference is
the absence of slavery. There are a

remains Il secret, n something as far
beyond human subtlety to explain as it
is beyond human ingenuity to produce.
1.-THE wind bloweth where it listetb."
Genius. "inspiration"-it is hard to
get on without the old words, vague
though they be. Nay, it is precisely
because they are vague that they serve
so useful a purpose. Even Professor
Raleigh. after speaking almost con-
temptuously of impatient critics" who
seek to account for Wordsworth's
amazing inequality" by assuming that
sometimes he was inspired, at other
times not, is heard little afterward
lamenting that in Wordsworth's case,
as in Coleridge's, "the high tide of in
SEPARATION was followed by a long and
wandering ebb."
One feels like quoting Lowell, whose
arrow in such competitions is apt to
hit the white. Wordsworth, he says,
was not an artist in the strictest sense
of the word; neither was Isaiah, but he
had rarer gift, the capability of being
greatly inspired. "-Bradford Torrey in
