THE STORY OF A STOLEN BABY.

4 A four days old baby is not Of
especial Importance in the economy
of society or industry, save to its own
parents. 1t is not even important
enough to be reckoned as a consumer
of food and clothing, in the eyes of
statisticians, nor are its locutory eff
forts of the first significance, except
perhaps to the father who walks the
floor or the neighbor, who may be
kept awake by them. Yet we find
that four day old baby down in
Minneapolis became suddenly Of such
Importance and interest that the en-
tire city found some time to devote to
it and the newspapers filed columns
with material relative to- it, and pub:
.lished pictures by the dozens and
scores, of its parents, it's local habita-
ton. and of various other surround
ing, particulars and associations APP
pertaining and relating to it. And all
because it was stolen from its parents
by it's nurse, and it's whereabouts for
several days remained mystery.
Columns of speculation and wonder
Were expanded, volumes of adjectives
launched in description of the utter
woe of the parents, anathemas hurled
at the luckless nurse who ran away
with the baby and almost enough
material was gathered for sensation
al novel with four day old baby as
the heroine. Now all this interest and
description was not because of any
especial value the baby had except to
its parents, for it was not even a
princess of Spain, to say nothing of
a prince. Its parents were in moder-
ate circumstances, not ever before
famed beyond the limits Of their own
neighborhood. <
But the stealing of four day old
baby, under such mysterious circum-
stances made what is in newspaper
circles termed, heartlessly enough
perhaps, "a good story" It contains
2he elements Of heart interest calcul-
.ated to make every other parent in
range of the story keenly interested.
Tt affords fertile field for specula-
ton as to what may have happened,
and has in it at all times the palpi-
;tating interest necessary to sustain
interest through long period Of days.
Like the mysterious disappearance
Of the Marvin boy several months ago,
1T was an event whose interest was
not local. So it seems that, after all,
there is good deal of sentiment left
i'm the American people and that there
are circumstances under which a four
days old baby can become heroine.
And we may thus philosophically
comBent upon the whole matter be-
cause the baby has been found, the
nurse is in durance, vile or otherwise.
and things promise to be happy ever
afterWard. While the baby may in
future years tell its own children how
ut passed several exciting and event
fuI days away from its parents in the
first week Of its existence.

cleaning up and keeping clean is In
order. During the winter, Nature is
kind to us in not only putting every
thing that is out Of doors in cold
storage but in covering from our
view objects that would otherwise
be offensive to our senses. Now that
spring is getting busy, the SHOWS
Of winter gone and Jack Frost has
loosened his hold on the earth SO that
the accumulated debris Of the past
season is exposed to view, and be-
coming unsightly and decaying
masses, it behooves us to be up and
doing to make our premises conform
to the ideal Of beauty and purity.
Not only from an aesthetic but also:
from sanitary point of view this is
important. Garbage piles in a hot
North Dakota sun make ideal breed
ing places for infection carriers, ais
well as being regular hotbeds for the
propagation of the disease germs
themselves. Thus in cleaning up.
you are doing good service in rid
ding your premises of multitudes OF
pestirferous insects, in eliminating
possible incubation beds for disease
germs, in removing unsightly and un-
savory accumulations of filth, as well
as doing your duty as a citizen, pre-
senting an object lesson for sanitary
reform to others who are /. not 90
strongly endowed with a keen civic
conscience.
In several cities civic leagues have
been formed, which have for their
purpose boosting anything and
everything of material value Of a
civic nature. Spokane, Wash, has
one Of the best of these; it is called
the 10000. Club because they ex
pect by 1910 to have that number
Of members; at present they have
$4,000.
The City Beautiful COMMITTEES ID
one Of the numerous committees of
the big club. and it is composed OF
twenty men representing various
sections Of the city and presided over
by general chairman. A vice
chairman is named for each ward.
and from the big club memberships
are drawn captains for each pre-
cinct and lieutenants for each block.
l Rvxx q
Thus, You see, the city beautiful com
mittee extends to every portion of the
city and each block is thus repre-
scented. vs.
Cleaning up plans are made two
months In advance. In order to be
q success, teams are used to haul
away non-combustible rubbish; in
fammable rubbish is burned, the
mayor issuing proclamation allow
ing bonfires all over the city on
cleaning day. The school children
are organized for work from various
precincts and wards under the gen.
eral direction of the men in charge
of these localities. BY this method
they have the cooperation OF the
school children. It is their work
that makes It the big success it III.
On their last cleaning day they had
10000 men, women and children
cleaning yards, alleys and vacant
lots.
The various subcommittee make
plans for improvements, and the
work Is carried out In the various
wards through the captains and lieu
tenants. Public meetings are held
from time to time and addresses are
made on timely topics, illustrated by
lantern slides A publicity campaign
isc arried ont trough the newspapers
and there Is no difficulty in arousinga
interest in the work.

Probably the best way to teach
truthfulness to your child is to be
truthful with him. While an un-
truth should never go unnoticed,
one should be very sure it is an
untruth before it is treated as such.
Oftentimes a very imaginative
child or person will give way to
exaggeration merely because of
this vividness of the imagination,
and it is hard to tell whether or
not deceit, or intention to .distort
facts, enters the story as he tells
it. Give the child the benefit of
the doubt, but do not overlook ma
licious misrepresentation. - THE

what is proposed to be done by

Years ago when the first frosts had
come Connecticut people went out to
pick the burches of bayberries to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic
smell of the leaves that the pickers
crushed in pulling off.
We no longer pick bayberries for

RAISED HIS WAGES.

A story is told in Milwaukee con-

with him for fifteen years and the old
gentleman had implicit confidence in
him. 1t was with Il profound shock

The proprietor thought it all over for
a long while and then sent for the en-

and the same conversation ensued
ending with another S. a week raise.
The third Saturday he sent for the
engineer again. and after the same
questions and answers he raised his
salary another S. week.
On the fourth Saturday the engineer
was again summoned before the boss

STORIES OF TENNYSON.
Showing Some of the Odd Ways of the
Famous Poet

In the memoirs of the late William
Allingham. the English poet, appear
some interesting "reminiscences of Ten
nyson. Allingham's first sight of him
was at Twickenham, where Tennyson
was then living. He says: Soon came
in a tall, broad shouldered, swarthy
man, slightly STOPPING. with loose dark
hair and beard. He wore spectacies
and was obviously very nearsighted.
Hollow cheeks and the dark pallor of
his skin gave him an unhealthy appear
ance. He was a strange and almost
spectral figure. The great man peered
close at me and then shook hands cor
daily. yet with profound quietude
Of manner. He was then about forty
one, but looked much older"
In 1886 Allingham visited TennySon
at the latter's home, Farringford. in
Freshwater, Isle of Wight. One morn
ing they were talking on the downs to-
gether, and Ailingham said that he felt
happy. TennEsOn said gloomily, I'm
not at all happy-very unhappy" The
reason, as Tennyson afterward explain
ed, for his particular unhappiness was
his uncertainty regarding the condition
and destiny of man. Allingham was
very anxious to photograph him on
this visit. but Tennyson positively re-
fused You make bags under my
eyes," he said
At another time during this visit. as
Allingham writes. they talked Of
dreams. ''Tennyson said: In my boy
hood | had intuitions of immortality
ineXpressible. | have never been able
to express them. | shall try some day.
I said that l, too. had felt something
Of that kind, whereat Tennyson, being
in one of his less amiable moods,
growled: 4 don't believe you have.
You say it out of rivalry"
Allingham describes Tennyson's fond
ness for strange antics. such as jump
ing round and round like a pigeon. and
adds, He is the only person ever saw
who can do the most ludicrous things
without any loss of dignity"

A Little Too ORIGINAL.

"You New Workers are wonders"
said the man from the west here for
a brief stay and seeing everything
from the Bronx to the Bowery.
Nothing is impossible here--at least
saw vines twined across the sky last
second street." he. continued. "The
ceiling is painted sky blue. and there
are little electric lights set to look like
stars. Also there are the clouds float
ing about. but then there are the vines
that kill the otherwise very neat IL
fusion. Originality is all right, but
vines hitched to a sky is too much for

One of the favorite stories connected
with the Revolution is the tale OF
Lydia barracks patriotism, which
story. like others OF similar import. has
been Giscredited by the discriminating
historian. Notwithstanding the cold

The house where the famous caves

Those who have heard or read the
stor! Of Mrs. Darrach hardly need to-
be informed than she and her husband
lived in what was called the LoXley
house. once at the southeast corner of
Little Dock and Second streets. Little
Dock was the thoroughfare which runs
in southwestern direction from Dock
street to Second street The ground
upon which the LoXley house stood
was acquired by Benjamin Loxley. a

tically whole square in this vicinity,
from George Clymer in April. 1859, and
TIC dutSif Illic MUST was eIeCleu

there is nothing TO show that the own
er ever lived there.
The house gained its fame from it's
peculiar facade. which was unlike any
thing in the city. and from the anec-
dote which connects Mrs. Darrach
with the place. The great preacher
Whitefeld is said to have addressed
the multitudes from the balcony on
either his sixth or seventh visit to this
