out priyateers for the war in Jamaica
and San Domingo, married the adyen-
turous Betty Bowen, he bought and
fitted up the mansion with magnif-
cent expenditure, calculated to make
the eyes Of the plain old Dutch burgh-
ers start from their heads. Mistress
Betty had lived, to put it mildly, be-
fore she met and married the young
merchant prince. AS Betty Bowen,
the rustic beauty had broken the heart
and stamped on the pride Of many an
impressionable Massachusetts beau.
To her was born child which so
closely resembled George Washington
that for many years was supposed to
be his son. In reality, Major Reuben
Ballou was the father of Betty Bow
ems child. When the baby was 5
weeks old the future haughy Nine.
Jumel ran away and left him. She
came back several times afterward to
claim her little one, but Freelove Bal
lou, wife of the major, although well
aware of the paternity Of the child,
kept it and would not let the mother
so much as see it.
Betty was gloriously lovely, with
all the capricious, puzzling hayward
ness of little child-a fascinating rid
die who charmed Stephen Jumel and
for years after they were wed kept
him wondering what she would do
next To make his wife happy the
wealthy Frenchman imported hang
ings, furniture and wonderful plate
from France The Jumels entertained
layishly and the household affairs
were conducted on a great scale. Once,
upon returning from European trip,
the madam brought with her quaint
ties Of Napoleonic relics-the dispatch
box of the little corporal, the trunk he
carried on his campaigns, Josephine's
jewels and embroideries and bric-a-
brac which had been the property Of
Marie Antoinette.
Many of these valuable souvenirs
are to-day in the drawing room Of
Mrs. julius Caryl, of Washington
Heights, the grand-niece Of Nine. Ju-
mel. There is in this same room a
full-length life-size portrait of Nine
Betty, which was painted in France
In the hey-day of her charms. She
sits in a great carved chair, dressed
in q robe of embossed blue velvet.
There are showers Of costly lace about
the shoulders, and lappets of lace fall
from the chestnut hair, carefully band
ed and curled in the fashion Of those
DAYS. The face Of Nine. Betty is full
of fire and fascination. The eyes are
lustrous and of sapphire hue, the ex-
preston one of winsome pride and
complacent disdain.
The Jumel mansion Is packed with
history, romance and thrilling mystery.
There are dark and blood-curdling Sc
cret passages and cupboards and of
course there is a ghost chamber and a
ghost who walks and walls in the most
approved fashion.
In the great banqueting hall every
nook and corner tells a tale In this
sumptuous room stood the table which
madam never permitted to be dis
turbed after one Of those famous mid
night New Years feasts. After the
eating and drinking, the songs and
toasts and banter were done the table
stood with its empty bottles and
crushed flowers just as 1t was left
when the last gay reveler with toast

The courts are always struggling with
illphrased, ambiguous, contradictory

loose ends left by the legislative bodies.
The idea of the reference library is not
to interfere with or influence legisla-

Marriage and home ties are detri-
mental to the artists work." says the
head Of the French Academy Of Fine
Arts. lone must choose between the
married and the intellectual life"
maintains woman official of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. There would be
no sound if there were no ears to hear,
and likewise art and literature would
be without value If there was no pos
terity which had inherited literary and
artistic appreciation. Mans work is
but half done if he gives only art and
no artists, only books and no writer's
to the world. Intellectual strength
and artistic temperament must be per-
petuated in blood as we'll as on paper
and canvas. No muse, however allur
ing, is as powerful to spur man on to
great effort as the clinging dependence
He works best who works for someone
else that loves him. Love is the great
source Of power throughout all the
universe. Harriet Beecher Stowe
rocked the cradle or made bread be-
tween the lines Of "Uncle Toms Cab
1n," yet it stirred a nation as few
books have. What artist may decide
that his art has reached the highest
point Of perfection; that it is the eX-
ponent of highest inspiration and
greatest possible skill? Mountains do
not rise abruptly from the plains. He
may be only one Of the foothills in a
chain, which, if unbroken, will at last
blend with the sky. That glorious
crown Of horticultural art-the Amer
lean beauty rose-did not bloom in the
fullness Of its deep-hearted loneliness
on the humble parent wild bush. Gen
erations of patient pruning and trim
ming, Of preserving the best and cast
ing out the worst, Of combining and
thus Strengthening the fine qualities,
lie between the simple, dainty, wild
rose and the mature, perfect American
Beauty. And the end may not yet be.
So it is with men. It took seven gen
erations Of ministers to produce an
Emerson, and it is written Of Ra-
phaeps father that he might rank as
great artist had he not been so unfor-
tunate as to have a son who outclassed
him. The vital truth is larger than
literature and art alone. Goethe sound
ed the deeper and broader worth Of a
man when he said: whoever has
best served his own people in his time,
he has lived for all time" Men be-
come immortal through their children
more often than through their work.

Selecting Volunteers.

Whenever the United States has
been at war with any other country it
has always been a matter for serious
complaint on the other side that the
Americans take accurate aim before
firing-with extremely fatal results.
How excellent was the craftsmanship
of the volunteers on Bunker Hill is a
matter of record. There is On inter-
esting entry in the diary Of John Har-
rover, an indentured schoolmaster Of
Virginia.
Colonel Washington, of this col
ony," he wrote, being appointed gen.
eralissimo Of all the American forces
raised and to be raised, made a de-
mand of five hundred rifemen from
the frontiers of this colony. But those
that insisted on going far exceeded
the number wanted, when, in order to
avoid giving offense, the Commanding
officer chuse his company by the fol-
lowing method.
He took board of a foot square,
and with chalk drew the shape Of a

fifty yards distance and those who
came highest the mark with a single
ball was to go. But by the first forty
or fifty that fired the nose was all
blown out Of the board, and by the
time his Company was UP the whole
board had shared the same fate.
