The Old Dinner Bell.

There's music in the lowin' of the cattle
on the hills,
An in the lazy laughter of the waterfalls
an rills;
In the singin' of the bluebird an the
hummin' of the bee,
An the ole woodpecker peckin' on the
holler sugar tree.
There's music in the blossom an the
clear blue of the sky,
In the screamin' of the chicken hawk
a-circlin' way up high;
But the sweetest songs of June tiEs
amt nowheres near a smell
To the music long at noontime of the
old dinner bell.
When plowin' in the distant fields, clean
out O. sight O. home,
A-wishin', too, with all your heart that
dinner time would come,
You watch the furries stretch away
aroun' the lower bend,
An potter round bit before you start
for t'other end,
An you bend your head an listen to
ketch the welcome sound,
An calc'late it's put nigh noon by shad-
ders on the ground,
When through the hazy atmosphere,
your longin' to dispel,
Comes the fur-off silv'ry music of the
ole dinner bell.
When the harvest day is over an the
toilers' work is done,
Over wavin' CON an clover tinted by the
settin' sun,
Low an sweet the distant music of the
ole bell floats along;
Borne upon the evenin' breezes, mingled
with the reapers' song,
An you look acrost the medder, past the
ole crick windin' through,
Where the ringer sweet is waitin' with
a welcome there for you.
Oh, there amt no joys Of summer that
can strike you quite so we'll
AS the ringin', when you're hungry, of

ana Lincoln saw Sucn promise IN MIN
that he made him one of his secretaries
and took him to Washington. He did
not disappoint Lincoln, but became most
useful to him in the White House.
!. At the close of the Lincoln administra-
ton John Hay was sent to Paris as Sec
rotary Of the American legation, and
there he began his diplomatic career.
Hay had a fine opportunity to study the
court of the last Napoleon and the gay
Partisan world before the overthrow Of
the empire. He was transferred to 9TH
er European legations and in turn served
as secretary in Vienna and Madrid,
where he became acquainted with the
most brilliant courts of Europe.
Wins Fame in Literature.
Returning to America in 1870, Mr..
Hay became an editorial writer for the
New York Tribune. Horace Greeley re-
garded him as one of the most brilliant
men on the Tribune stah. During that
time he wrote Little Brooches" and his
other famous verses.
He married a woman of wealth and
built a magnificent house in Washington,
which became one of the social centers
of the national capital, where gathered
of science and the diplomatic representa-
tives. He was Assistant Secretary Of
State in the Hayes administration.
From 1876 to 1900 he took an active
part in presidential campaigns. When
Mr.. Mckinley was elected President he
sent Mr.. Hay as ambassador to- Eu-
gland. In September, 1898, he was re-
called to become Secretary of State in
place of Judge Day.
Although Mr.. Hay secured the abroga-
ton of the ClaytonBulwer treaty,
brought about the reference of the most
far-rea ching question in the recent Ven
ezuela dispute-priority in payment for
a belligerant claimant-to the interna-
tional court of The Hague and arranged
for the peaceable adjustment of the
Alaska boundary question, he is known
throughout the world principally for the
breadth and foresight of his policy in
Asia.
When it became plain that Germany,
Russia and other great powers were pur-
suing provocative policy, aimed at the
destruction and division of the Chinese
empire. Mr.. Hay inaugurated his now
historic movement for the "open door, il
China by asking France, Russia, Ger
many, England, Italy and Japan to give
formal assurance that each nation would
agree to the open door.
That was the first step toward the
dominance of the moral influence of
America in Asia. When the legations
were besieged in Pekin and the chancel-
leries of Europe demanded the destruc-
ton of the reigning Chinese dynasty it
was Mr.. Hay alone who insisted that the
legations were safe and that the United
States at least was not at war with the
Chinese government.
And when the Chinese empire lay pros
trate at the feet of the great powers it
was Mr.. Hay who persuaded Europe to
moderate its demands for indemnity and
restore authority to the Chinese gov
eminent.
