long years Of life, his was preem ntly
chIld's nature until the day Of his
death.
An American gentleman who once
called upon ANDERSEN in Copenhagen,
when the author was almost sixty, found
him living in the second story Of dingy,
dilapidated house, opposite one of the
unsavory canals by which the city was
intersected, the locality being given up
largely to tenements, mud scows, fish,
fishermen, sloops, schooners and cheap
shops. ANDERSEN by that time was
able to live in luxury, but preferred the
obsourity Of a plain lodging and liked to
move about from time to time, tarrying
a while in all sorts Of queer quarters. His
only companions, the visitor continues,
were two aged peasant women whom he
employed as weatherbeaten
and decrepit old creatures, with faces
and forms very much like a pair OF
antiquated nut crackers One Of these
picturesque servants told tho American
to knock on a certain door, which he did.
A moment later il was opened, and there
before him stood a tall, thin, shambling
rawboned figure Of man little beyond
the prime Of life, but not yet old, with a
pair Of dancing gray eyes and Ratchet
face, all alive with twists and wrinkles
and muscles His face was long and
lean, its most prominent feature being
a great nose, diverted by nature a littlo
to one side and hanked by tremendous
pair OF cheekbones, with great hollows
underneath. Ridges and burrows swept
downward in curves toward the corners
Of a large mouth, and neither mustache
nor beard hid the strong individuality
Of this striking countenAnce. A head
mot large, but wonderfully bumped and
battered by the operations Of the brain
was partially covered by a mop Of dark,
wavy hair Long, bony arms, with long
bony hands; a long, lank body, with a
long black coat on il; long, loose pair
OF legs, with long boots on the feet; all
in motion at the same time; all shining
and wrggling and working with an in
describable vitality; a voice bubbling
up from the vast depths below with
CHEEKY, spasmodic and unintelligible
words OF welcome was HANS
CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN. The American
visitor adds, with earnest conviction
that left no doubt in his own mind: Il
would have picked him out from among
a thousand men at the first glance as a
candidate for Congress or the proprietor
OF a tavern il had met him anywhere
in the United States
ANDERSEN, Of course, prattled about
himself and his work and his success in
social life, evidently giving the inn
preston that he was Unfortunately vain.
That such was the case there is little
doubt, but it is pleasant and right TO
believe that his was the absolutely inno-
cent egotism Of a little child who wants
everybody to look at him when he is
doing anything which pleases himself.
The little one, moreover, is sure that his
father is the greatest man who ever lived,
his mother the most beautiful woman in
the world, his home the grandest, his
playthings the finest. Do we find fault?
Do VIC not rather smile indulgently and
agree heartily, with an inward GOD
bless you my dear!' HANS ANDERSEN
was yet a child when he died at seventy.

The London Spectator Of March IS prints
the information that thirty-hve new cotton
spinning mills are now being built in Ian
cashire 1t also states that new weaving
sheds are being erected, and that about
II 500 hands will be required as operatives
In the new enterprises. The communlcs-
ton adds that this year full time is az
sured and the outlook for both employers
and work people has seldom been more en-
oouraging.'
Our exports Of cotton cloth for the fret
eight months OF the current fiscal year were
valued at 500, 600, $50. For the same period
Of the preceding year they were 50 ,seS. 49,.
In view Of this increase, and Of the fact that
the new English mills must look for their
market in foreign countries, IL 10 not easy
to see just why England should be erecting
new mills TO manufacture American raw
cotton for export trade while we have many
idle spindles

The Passing Of tho Masked BAN.

One Of the interesting phenomena OF
the social season just coming to an end
has been the disappearance Of the public
masked ball ss q means Of winter diver
sion. Some Of these balls we're given
during the past few months, but in only
one case can it possibly be said that any
thing like the old time success was at
tanned. That ball had back Of il the
name and support Of a prosperous club,
even though il cannot be said that this
public function represents very accu-
rately tire spirit Of the Arion Society.
In years gone by the Liederlranz, an
other German social club, also had a
public ball under It's name; but that en-
tertainment was discontinued when il
became certain that public masked balls
In this city can have but one character,
and that not Of Kind that conservative
organizations should care TO stand for.
The Cercle FRANCOIS de Harmonic
and other societies Of French origin also
gave their annual balls in past year,,
but the public indifference manifested
itself 30 plainly that they ceased TO be a
source Of profit. In most cases the
society sold the use OF its name and its
support to a speculative manager, who
paid for these rights lump sum that
went into the benevolent fund Of the
club. The ultimate good the money
might do QUOTED possible misgivings

Ian Secures Jewelry After Attempting

Bold "flat workers. are again oper-

iderable amount Of jewelry was finally
ecured in one fiat. The police are of
he opinion that an organized gang is

A woman living on the Second floor
f the Franklin Heights building was
allied to her front door Friday after
Don by long ring at the bell. When
he suddenly opened the door tall man
tanding before it seemed much sur
irised and confused. Making the ex-
use of the wrong fiat, he went on up

IAN who lives in the fiat above the one
which he had rung the bell, and she
ot good look at him. She is positive
he would be able to identify him if
he ever sees him again.
His appearance aroused her suspicious
nd after talking with the woman who
ad surprised him at her door, she
%7ent upstairs again, to find that her
partment had been entered and that
he thief had made his exit down the
ear stairway on hearing her return

Emerson Avenue Citizen 10 Years Old
When His Famous Grandmother Was
Recounting Stories of Creation of
Flag Under Which Americans Fought
Off the Yoke Of England. .s,'s

Minneapolis numbers among it's citi-
zens direct descendant of Betsy Ross
of Philadelphia, who made the first
American flag bearing the stars and
stripes. Abel Satterthwait, who. lives
with his son, G. B. Satterthwait, at 30l8
Emerson avenue N, is a grandson. of the
revolutionary heroine and. tho far-ad-
vanced in years, remembers her well.
Mr.. Satterthwait was born on the out
skirts of Philadelphia in 1922. He was
10 years old at the time of his grand
mother s death, and has a distinct recol
lection of her. She often illustrated
to him how she had cut out a five
pointed star from folded paper with
one stroke Of her scissors to disprove
to General George Washington IS objec-
ton that a fve-pointed, star, was harder
to cut out than one of six points The
Betsy Ross star is a thing, of which the
family is proud and all her descendants
are familiar with the difficult trick
Of cutting it out. =. =. :
Betsey Ross Deserves Credit.
While the design of the flag was
drawn up by a committee of the con-
| tinental congress composed of, General
George Washington, Robert Morris and
Colonel George Ross and was adopted
from the arms Of the Washington FAM
lily as compliment to the great leader,
the credit for the fve-pointed star be
longs to Betsy Ross alone. She OBJ
iected to the six7pointed star because
it was similar to the one in the British
flag, and carried her point by demon
strating the ease with which a five
pointed star could be made. >.| =,
