Il MOUNTAIN.

-
Behind the mountain the sun droops
down,
Yet a band of his golden, misty light,
Like the mountains grand. aerial crown,
He casts athwart of the purple height,
Where the great pine forests are rich and
deep.
And the rocks are blue on the scarry
steep.
o mountain. sweet is the slow farewell
OF the summer day with its trailing
BEAM!
From the huge old trees where the fairies
To loner vantage recedes the CLEAN;
While the dark blue shadow, serene and
cold,
Ascends thy breast with its mantling fold.
BY her green, dim curtains of dusk and
dew,
Away from the warm and festive light.
Earth bears thee back in the solemn blue
To the realm OF her old primeval night;
She bears thee, o mountain. her pensive
child,
Through lonesome aeons her undefled!
n the tones of thy rivers are praying
God,
They murmur their chants Of the deep
old time;
And sweet are the ferns of thy messy sod
As when they sprang to the heat sub
lime,
And thy brow is trod by the rising stars
AS when 1t cleaned from the glacial bars.
The golden light from thy outmost pines
Is gathered home to immensely,
And thy calm, unwearied, eternal lines
Are darkly drawn on the rose-fiushed
sky,
While forever past, and forever more.
With one deep longing thou dost adore!
Irene Putnam, in Youths Companion.

ALL RETURN HOME TO JAIL.
Convicts in Hawaii Do Not Make Any
Effort to Escape from


"The most unique method for han
ding petty y~iolators of the law" re-
marked a. gentleman in Washington
to a Post representative, lis in daily
operation at Hilo, the capital of the
island of Hawaii. / was seated on the
porch of the Hilo hotel one day last
winter trying to evade the mosquitoes
and the sunshine, when l noticed a
score of natives in striped canvas uni
forms break into a dead run in the d.
rection of the Jail. The heavy iron
doors swung open to admit them and
they filed in N by one to become pris-
oners for the night. | learned later
that these men were 'short-term'
conyicts, and that their hurry was in
spired by fear that they might be
locked out of JAIL
but how did they escaped" he was
asked.
"Escape?" repeated the narrator.
"They did not escape, they were
turned loose at seven in the morning
and instructed to report behind the
bars at five in the afternoon. Let me
explain: An alleged criminal is tried,
convicted and sentence passed upon
him. Should his term exceed one year
he is confined in a cell on the third
floor of the Jail, from which escape is
practically impossible. If he is a
'short-tef.a nia1, however, he is fitted
up with a blue and white striped can
a suit and hired out by the day to
contractors or the managers of neigh
boring plantations. His wages, usu-
ally 25 cents per day, are paid to the
city. These fortunate convicts are
both fed and lodged in Jail, and in adj
dition to their clothes are allowed a
small ration of tobacco. Every norm
ing after breakfast they may be seen
embarking on their duties. They are
not guarded in any manner, shape or
form-in fact, it resolves itself into an
extreme case of honor among thieves"
1T isn't once in a year that escape
is even attempted, and the records in
the county Jail show but one instance
where such an attempt has been sue
cessful. 1t is amusing to see these be-
lated culprits running at the top of
their speed for fear the doors of this
novel institution will be closed against
them. Those that may arrive later
are admitted through another entrance
and an additional three or four days
are added to their term as punishment
for their tardiness.'
"How do you account for this pecul-
Jar system being still in vogue?" was
asked
1T exists merely because of it's eff
cheney. Hilo is a coast town; the
Pacific ocean guards it safely on the
east, while to the westward there is
nothing but the high road and the
jungle. The jungle and the sea mean
death and the high road capture; so
you see there is a stronger force than
honor which impels the return Of the
convict to his prison home"

Beaten by the Combination.

''They can get up combinations in
the west to beat the band" said a
Philadelphia drummer who had come
in off a trip and had a shortage to
explain.
"In a town in western Iowa I had a
difference of opinion with a landlord
and called him q liar. He was a
deputy sheriff and he arrested me.
His brother was prosecuting attor-
ney and he was against me. The
Judge was his brother-in-law and he
tried the case.
81 said I'd take ten days in Jail
sooner than pay the fine, but when
l came to be locked up the jailer said
to me: You'd better pay. I'm the
father-in-law of the judge and it will
be my duty to put you in a cell with
a prisoner who's gone crazy and
wants to kill somebody
II paid and was released" said the
drummer, "but I wanted revenge.
I went to the only lawyer in town
with a reputation and stated my case
and asked him to take it.

it would look. I'm son-in-law to the
ailer.'"-Boston Globe.

along the drives floats silvery and
deep-toned laughter accompanied by

But Trooper Smith tries not to hear
such sounds. 1t is a world not open
to him. The Chinese Wall of rank
is an impossible barrier between
him and the WEST Point aristoc-

Returning to California, he began his
work, and now evidences of his abil.
ity are found in all quarters of San
Francisco. His first work, THE Ball
Player" stands in Golden Gate park.
The Native Sons monument and the
Donohue Memorial fountain, recent
w erected, are by him. For many
years he was an instructor in the
Hopkins art gallery, and later he be-
came a member of the jury of the
Columbian exposition.
Another deaf mute Of California
has been successful in business. J.,
c. Williams is the head of one OF
the largest contracting firms in that
state. He started in the business
world with an excellent education,
despite the fact that all his informa-
ton had been acquired with no other
communication than pencil and pa
per. He started in the contracting
business modestly, but with industry
and utility became head of one of
the great contracting companies,
which now handles work all over
California and has just been awarded
a large contract in Honolulu.
Another San Francisco deaf mute
is a politician, real estate agent, and
notary public. Being energetic, he
did a thriving business as a real eS"
tate nan in his native city. Going
into politics, he succeeded in landing
a position in the city government
When he lost his position through a
change of parties he was made a
notary public by Gov. Gage, being
the only deaf mute man in America
to hold such rights.
San Francisco seems to be a favor,
tie field of work for the deaf mute.
Anthore remarkable instance of sue
cess in spite of defects is afforded by
the case of another of the citizens of
that city. This mar is a lawyer. A
lawyer who canno talk seems an
anomaly, but this one has been a sue
cess. He talks in the finger alphabet
and his eight-year-old son ~interprets
for the court. Recently he won "A
breach of promise case in which
both the litigants were deaf and
dumb, defeating a skilled lawyer who
had the power of speech and winning
the admiration of the court by his
method of conducting his case.

MODEL PHILIPPINE ROADS.
by American Enterprise in Ba-
tangas Province.

The solution of roadmaking prob
lens that is going on in the province
of Batangas, ON the island of Luzon,
under the direction of Gen. j. Franklin
Bell, has been thorough and rapid
during the last season. Under Spanish
rule the roads were entirely neglect
ed, and during a large part of the year
following the rainy season the thor
oughfares were wholly impossible.
The laboring people during this period
were thrown out of work, and the
whole province suffered severe loss in
nearly every industry, says a Wash
ington report.
Gen. Bell set to work early last sea
son to remedy the situation, ana has
now completed more than 40 mill of
macadamized road in one straight
stretch, giving the region a thorough
fare over which communication with
the outside world may be maintained
the year through. This road runs
from Calambas, in Laguna province,
to Batangas, in Batangas province.
There is a gap of ten miles, which will
be built before the year is out, giving
so miles of good roads such as the Phil
ippines never saw before outside of
Manila.
Gen. Bell has decided to use a novel
mean of transportation over his new
road. That is, to run regular trains of
wagons hauled by traction engines.
Passengers and freight are to be taken
at a nominal rate, and the trains will
be run on schedule time. Two or three
side lines will be- built in the course
of next year. The engines and cars
will have wide tires, and SO will i'm
prove the road with use. The speed
to be made will be about five miles an
hour. The road fund derived from the
yearly taxes is to be applied to con-
Meeting these macadamized roads
with the one already built.
Gen. Bell has asked the island gov
eminent to procure and sell to the
natives at cost price carts with wide
tires and with wheels revolving ON
aXles. The native cart has narrow
tires and the wheels are solid on the
axles, the latter revolving with the
wheel in two wooden pins in the box
of the vehicle. The effect of such
carts on a roadbed is to cut and gouge
it as if the cart were a plow. Gen. Bell
asks that every old cart in the prov
ince be displaced by the new ones,

wise it is proposed to tax the narrow

DEAF MUTES WIN SUCCESS.
tant Faculties Who Have Won
Fame and Fortune.

Without speech and hearing it
would seem impossible for a man or
woman to achieve any positive sue
cess in the world. That it is possi-
BILE for a certain amount of enjoy
ment to be brought into the life OF
a person thus afflicted is well known.
1t is generally understood that sucn
a person can overcome these natural
obstacles and live Il life of reason
able contentment.
But that men thus handicapped
have been able to enter the struggle
for renown and riches and win with
out these all-important powers in
not generally realized. The records
of various institutions for the deaf
and dumb throughout the country
reveal the fact many persons so afi
f1icted are forging ahead and becom-
ing prominent in different walks of
life, says the Chicago Tribune.
They are finding success in many
occupations and professionalism in
the law. They have their churches,
their ~fraternities, and their old peo-
pies homes, all maintained by their
own efforts. The record of the deaf
and dumb in this country has been
duplicated in Europe.
The arts have appealed naturally
to the deaf and dumb as offering OPP
portunities for success, and many of
the men who have won renown in
spite Of their hanaicaps have devoted
themselves either Z: Sculpture or
painting.
In enumerating the. distinguished
artists who are deaf and dumb n
would mention the French sculptor,
Ferdinand Homar, whose work, the
| Rochambeau statue, was recently
erected in a park opposite the white
house in Washington. Felix Martin,
sculptor, who has attained a member
ship in the Legion of Honor; Paul
Chopin, the sculptor and gold
medalist Of the Paris exposition, and
Ernest Durageau, professor and
member of the Legion of Honor, are
others who have made regulations.
American artists have found equal
success. II. H. Moore, who has taken
up his residence in Paris, is one.
Douglas Tildcn, the California sculp-
tor, is another. Olof Hanson is an
other deaf mute who has become
prominent in architecture, he being
one Of the most prominent in his
profession in Minneapolis.
Douglas Tilden's career is notable.
At an early age he showed such an
aptitude for art that his natural dis
advantages would not be serious OBJ
s~tacles to his progress. He was sent
to Paris to study, and there he
worked under the direction of Paul
! Chopin, himself deaf and dumb.

Although Lord Roberts is the first
great parsonage in England to de-
cline to pay the fees exacted of him
in connection with his honors, he is
by no means the only one who has
protested against them. Indeed, the
late archbishop of York made a hui
morous complaint thereof to Queen
Victoria when he received an audi
ence to pay homage on his elevation
to the primary; for as he rose from
his knees, he exclaimed:
.Ma'am, you're the only official
parsonage I have seen since my nomi-
nation who has not asked me for
a fee"
In his last these fees amounted
to nearly $4,000 and comprised,
among other extraordinary items,

all attend the Lexington fair. and I'll
be ready then. As papa has forbidden

Sunday night. Your loving little Nellie.
The Kentucky State Fair that year
zane off at Lexington in October.
The colonel, young Arson and the
Widow Sloan were there; the squire,
his maiden sister and pretty Nellie
also attended.
On the evening of the second day
of the fair. at three separate places
in the bluegrass city, there were
three separate couples, under cover
of the night, drove out of the city
by three separate roads, which all,
however, headed toward the Ohio
river.
Everybody has heard of Aberdeen,
o., which is of a verify, the Ameri-
a "Gretna Green" and most every
body has heard of Squire Massie
Beasley, the presiding genius of the
little village.
Late on the morning of the night I
speak of, a man and oma were fer
ried across the river from Maysville,
and proceeded directly to the squire's
house.
A few lusty raps on the door reused
his sable assistant, who rejoices in
the name of Vulcan-probably be-
cause he has assisted in welding so
many pairs of hearts together, and
he opened the door and admitted
them.
There was no light, and he ushered
them into a big room which opened
directly off the hall.
He was just going for a light when
another knock summoned him to the
door, and he admitted another cou-
pie.
Again he started for the light, and
a third knock sounded. He admitted
a third couple, and leaving them all
in the big room, he FASTENED upstairs
to arouse the squire.
"Busniz ez boomin,' boss" he said,
when the Great American Matrimo'
nializer jumped out of bed. "Free
par Nv 'em, sah!"
"Three!" repeated the magistrate
making a hasty toilet. "Take that
lamp down. I'll be there directly"
Vulcan obeyed the order, and wher
he opened the door of the big room
and the rays of the lamp he carried
flooded the apartment, the six peo'
Pile therein contained, gave utterance
to six quick cries of establishment.
1t was the denouement of the Clio
verburg comedy!
Standing in one corner of the room
was Colonel Shortrood, or whose arm
hung Miss Dorothea Longacre. Fac
ing the military chieftain was Els
quire Isreal Longacre, whose arm
was twined about the waist of buxon
Abigail Sloan. In the middle of thu
apartment stood young Arson Short
rood, holding to his breast pretty
Nellie Longacre.
After the first cries of astonish
ment there was a moments silence
then a tremendous oar of laughter
and then followed such handshakins
and kissing, and cries Of mutual for
giveness and pledges of eternal low
and friendship as probably wer,
never heard or seen before.
Squire Massie Beasley married tn
three couples, and they went back t.
Cloverburg together. The lawsui
was dropped, and all parties there
after lived together in peace and am
ity.-Saturday Night.
