We do not know that they are to be
found in any compilation OF poems.

A part belongs to me.

With all IT'S rints that play
Upon the springing grass and corn
Pat owns the corn and hay.
own the cat-bird, thrush and jay,
The larks that sing and soar
Pat owns the barnyard fowls that stay
About his stable door.
But where the shadows on yon stream
Are changing every hour,
own the right to float and dream
Pat owns the water power.
Mine is the mnrmur of this rill
Whose sweet tones never cease,
But all the air with music fill
Pat owns that flock OF geese.

That Der the meadow floats
Like some pure angel In a shroud-
Pat owns those Berkshire shoats.
Mine are these drops of dew that shine
And I'LL my wild rose full:
These tiny violets are mine
Pat owns that mighty bull.
Where such things can be got for pelf
Pat buys the finest breeds.

of his work in Venice. But as SUI

INVENTOR OF THE scYTHE.
Joseph Jencks Had the Idea Over Two
Centuries Auo.

Joseph Jencks Had the Idea Over Two
Centuries Ago.
In rummaging among old papers a
Lynn gentleman has discovered the
complete pattern Of the American
,scythe. which was invented two and
half centuries ago by Joseph Jencks.
an ironworker OF Saugus, Massachu-
setts. The invention of the scythe,
says the Boston Herald, Is referred
to in Lewis and Newhalls History
of Lynn
This scythe took the place of the
English "bushwhacker" scythe, made
of piece Of thin steel, about eighteen
inches long and three inches wide.
Jencks more than doubled the
length Of the scythe, reduced its
width to one and one-half inches, and
stiffened It by welding square bar
on the back.
The patent was, by an enactment Of
the Massachusetts, General Court, as
follows.
May %, 1865. 1t Is ordered that
Joseph Jencks, senr.. and his assigns,
only, shall haue liberte graunted to
them to make that engine the said
Jencks hath proposed to this Court for
the more speedy cutting of grasse,
for seven years, and that no inhab-
liant or other person within this jur-
isdiction during that time shall make
or vse any of that kind of engine
without license first obtained from
the said Joseph Jencks, on the poenal-
ty of five pouRds for emery such en-
gine so made or vsed, to be recouered
at any Court in this Jurisdiction by
the said Joseph Jencks, senr., .or his
assignes."

RODE ON THE ENGINE.

khedive OF Egypt Astonishes His At
tendants.
The khedive Of Egypt visited Paris
recently. The way of his return was
unconyential and interesting. At Ca
lass he expressed a wish to ride to
Amiens IN the engine. There was a
moments CONSERVATION, but every OBJ
lection was soon overruled. and pres
emily, swathed In long gray over
coat. he climbed up into the engines
cab. The young ruler of Egypt in
sisted on working his passage" and
he was asked to shovel coal. which he
did with a will, the engineer chat
fing the monsieur of whose identity
he had not the remotest notion. Into
Amiens the great train rushed aftes a
trip of 105 miles without single
stoppage. and in those los miles had
been made up good eight minutes
of the delay In starting. Often the
train ran at sixty miles an hour and
over. or twice the speed Of Egypt's
fastest train. At the station little
group of officials in full evening dress
had gathered opposite the door of the
special state saloon provided for the
khediye. and there was surprise when
he could not be found there. Then
down the platform very dirty man
in long overcoat came hurrying.
He wore no cap and his straight black
hair was all disheyeled. while the
white teeth and the white-rimmed
eyes, little blood-shot, laughed out
Of the dirtiest face the khedive had
ever worn. He shook hands with the
gentlemen in evening dress and clam
bered into the state carriage, while
the crowd, which had realized what
the khed.ve had done, cheered Justify.

Some Facts About Money

These are strange times in the ac-
cumulatior of fortunes stranger than
any fiction could ever have made
them. Think OF 1t for a moment! An
drew Carnegie, canny little Scotch
boy, came to this unknown land few
decades ago barefooted and last year
offered to settle the Venezuelan inn
broglio between Germany, England,
France and Italy and the South Ameri-
can republic by loaning Venezuela the
entire sum of these international
debts. And yet fortune SO huge as
to permit of such offers is as nothing
to the power of another man. Mr..
Rockefeller, personally quiet Ameri-
can citizen from Cleveland. a simple
liver. with few habits of luxury, could
easily buy half dozen of the inde-
pendent kingdoms of Europe: could
without feeling it to any great extent
in his pocketbook take UP the debts
of all the republics of Central and
South America

is the fabulous wealth Of an individu-

But the memorable morning for
Aloysius came shortly thereafter. It
was one OF those keen October morn
ings that bite so In the Hills. The
construction train, Extra 240 West,
had started at about o'clock from
the head of the pass with load Of
steel for the track layers. and stop
ped for a bite of breakfast at Wind
River. Above the round house there
is a switchback. When the train
pulled in the crew got OF for some
hot coffee. Johnnie Horigan was
around playing the good fellow, and
he climbed into the cab to run the
train through the switchback while
the crews were at the eating house.
II was irregular to leave the engine.
but they did. and as for Johnnie Hori-
gan. he was regularly irregular. There
were sixteen cars OF steel In the
string, besides cabooseful Of labor
erie The backing up the leg of the
nipper was easy. After the switch
was newly set Johnnie pulled down
the lower leg. and that, considering
the whiskers was too easy.
When he pulled past the eating
house on the down grade he was go
ing so lively with his fats that he
was away befor- the crew could get
out OF the lunchroom. In just one
minute everybody in Wind River was
In trouble; the crew because their
tr-in was disappearing down the can
yon; the eating houss man because
nobody paid him for his coffee. and
Johnnie Horigan because he found
It impossible to stop. He had dump
ed the sand, he had applied the air.
he had reversed the engine. BY all
