MIR. HAYS COUNTRY HOME AT SEwBURY,
 \. H., WHERE HE DIED.
 ident in one of the blackest hours of the war Hay wrote the verses to him, and Lincoln liked it so we'll that he in sisted on Its publication. AS a conse- ouence the assistant private secretary awoke one morning, like Byron, to find himself famous.
 The Advent of "Jim Bluds0."
 It was not until 1871, however, that "Pike County Ballads containing Little Breeches,'' Jim Bludso.'' Ban ty Tim" and other famous dialect po- ems, appeared. Tn later life Hay tried to forget that he had written these, but the public would not have 1t. Others delighted to remember these rough verses. so full of human nature, hu- nor and pathos, even though their au- thor did not A distinguished English man once said that Jim Rludso,' he who would hold her nozzle ag'in the bank till the last galoot's ashore" was one of the most popular poems in Eng land.
 It was also in 1871 that "Castilian Days" came out, which Horace Gree ley declared the best book of travel he had ever read A year later appeared Hays translation of "Castelar's De- mocracy Tn Europe" It was not till 1890, however, that Hays most fa- nous book, Abraham Lincoln; His tory" was published, and the same year came later edition of his poems. John c. Nicolay. Lincoln's other secre- tary. collaborated with Hay in the life of their great chief. Nicolay gathering the material and Hay writing the book.
 Editor of the New York Tribune.
 It was in 1870 that Mir. Hay became an editorial writer on the Tribune, place he held for many years. It was here he began his lifelong friendship with Whitelaw Reid The two men have many points in common, not the least of which is that both married rich wives. While Reid was in Europe for several months Hay was editor in chief of the Tribune. John Russell Young described that time and said that while Reid had used whips on his political enemies Hay used scorpions. so that there was a sigh of relief in cer- tain circles when Reid returned "and the young lion (Hayl was vouchsafed the joyful manumission of the jun gles.'
 It was Reid who introduced Hay into New York society. and one of the match makers of the metropolis de cided that the young author and diplo- mat-Hay was then thirty too eligible bachelor to go unmarried. so she introduced him to Clara Stone. the daughter of Cleveland millionaire. whom he married in 1874.
 Colonel Hays house in Washington has a rather modest appearance on the outside. but within it is artistic and beautiful. The great diplomats chief fad was to gather cartoons made of himself. and one of the rooms of his home is plastered with them. One of the choicest parts of his collection con sists of the cartoons made by the fla nous Du Maurier. the author of ''Tril- by"
 In manner Secretary Hay was suave. polished and courtly. He never lacked fin yigor. however. and often startled the diplomats of Europe by the orig inaifty of his moves. He did not be lieve in the indirect methods of old time diplomacy and pushed matters 10 a conclusion. He spoke many Ian guages. and his grasp Of affairs was truly world wide.

HOHN HAY has often been called
 the greatest secretary of state" D High praise that, when it is re-
 membered that the premiership of the American cabinet has been held by some of the most distinguished men in our political history. Thomas Jeffer son, Edmund Randolph, John Mar shall. James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, Daniel Webster John c. Calhoun, James Buchanan. Ed ward Everett, Lewis Cass, William H. Seward, Elihu B. Washburn, William NJ. Evarts, James c. Blaine, Thomas F. Bayard, Walter Q. Gresham. Rich ard Olney, John Sherman and others almost as illustrious have shone in this place.
 Giant of Giants In Statecraft.
 To say that man is the greatest of such list is to make him q giant of giants.
 Yet. measured by actual accomplish ments in world politics, the late John Hay measures with any of them, and it is perhaps not extravagant praise to say that he goes to the head of the list. Certain it is that he made the United States the diplomatic center of the world, that he maintained the integrity of China, that he opened the diplomatic door for the building of the isthmian canal, that he united the Anglo-Saxon world and made America its head, and that he introduced to all nations new and more direct sort of diplomacy Even a greater distinction probably belongs to him. though this is not gen erally known. as the moves made in International politics are mostly in tn, dark. Then, too, it is hard to say what would or would not have happened if certain steps had not been taken. Yet f despite the veil of secrecy enough is known to have created the general be- lief that John Hay prevented general European war from growing out of the ] conflict in the far east
 ! Leading up to this eliminating role on the stage of statecraft were many minor positions in the diplomatic sery- ice These began shortly after the civ il war. and the first period ended in 1870. But in these few years three i'm

Little Brooches.

I don't go much on religion
 I never ain't had no show But I've got a middltn' tight grip. sir. On the handful O things I know I don't pan out on the prophets
 And free will and that sort of thing. But b'lieve in God and the angels
 Ever sence one night last spring. I come into town with some turnips. And my little Gahe came along No four-year-old in the county
 Could beat him for pretty and strong. Peart and chippy and sassy.
 Always ready to swear and fight. And I'd iarnt him to chsw terbacker Jest to keep his milk teeth white. The snow come down like a blanket
 As passed by Taggsrt's store. I went in for jug of nnolasses And left the team at the door. They scared al something and started heard one little squall. And hell to split over the prairie
 Went team. Little Brooches and all Hell 10 splI, over the prsiriei
 was almost froze with skeer. But we rousted up some torches
 And sarehed for 'ern far and near. At last we struck bosses and wagon
 Showed under soft white mound. upsot dead besf-but of little Gae-
 No hide nor hair vas found And here all hopes soured on me.
 Of my fellow critters aid I jest hopped down on my narrovbones Crotch deep in the snow and prayed B. this the torches was played out
 And me and Isrul ParT Went cr for some wood fo a sheepfoid
 That he said was sornewhsr thar. We found it a, last and a little shed
 Where they shut ID the lambs st night We locked in and seen them huddled thar so warm snt sleepy and white Ard thar sot Little Brooches and ehiTped As pert as ever you see. "I want q chaw Of terbacker.
 And that's what the matter cs me- Ho- cs1 he git thsr7 Angels
