Patriotism in the Making.

Patriotism in New York is cosmo-
politan. They have flag drill in the
schools in which the children Of
every race and cline, as the hymn
book says, are taught to salute the
stars and stripes and give their
heads, their hands and their hearts
to their country" And in some of
the big downtown schools you may
see children from homes German, Ital-
ian, Syrian, Scandinavian, Jewish,
Hungarian, Chinese, Armenian, Greek,
and heaven knows how many more ma
tionalities, all joining in this pictur-
esque ceremony. 1t gives one real
izing sense of the variety of material
which is put into the crucible We call
a city, and which in another gen.
Grafton or two will be simply

than her beauty, had attracted the at.
tention of the lawyer when she first
came to the city. Through friends Mr..
Hummel was introduced to her and
her mother. Eventually he became the
acknowledged patron of the little girl.
He obtained the best teachers for her,
arranged concerts at which she played
and secured her introductions into the
homes of the socially prominent in
New York and Newport. What sue
cess has come to Miss Brown she
owes largely to the kindly interest of
Mr.. Hummel.
And Miss Brown was grateful.
She was not content to tell only of
the many kindnesses he had done for
her and her mother. She did more.
The first day the convicted lawyer
sent word to the outside world from
his cell in prison that he would like
to see those of his old friends who
still cared to see him, Miss Brown was
one of the first to hurry to him with
flowers and fruit and some dainty
jelly that her mother had made with
her own hands. 1t was the sight of
his little friend that brought the first
smile to the face of the little lawyer
that any one had seen after his con-
viction.

ResembIed "the Other One"

Imagination, of course, plays large
part in the deceptions of the nursery.
A child of four or five was giving an
account to her parents of the capture
of snake at the end of the garden.
Like many grown-up raconteurs, she
posed as having been present. though
she had the story in reality from her
slightly elder brother, who had been
a delighted witness. Enlarging on
every detail, she was at last pulled up
by her father. who knew how much of
her evidence was circumstantial.
"And what was the color of this
snake?" he asked. This was poser.
Tom had omitted to tell her the color.
But she was not going to be daunted
by minor detail of this sort. "It was
the same color as the snake that Tom
saw" she said.

The question has often been raised

Cheered Her Benefactor,

Since then never week has passed
that Miss Brown has not been a Wis.,
itor to the island. In her arms she
has always carried flowers, fruit,
books-countless little offerings of de-
votion to make the days of her bene-
factor pass as quickly as possible.
Once in while she would take her
violin and play over and over the ia
vorites of Mr.. Hummel. She was in
truth an angel of mercy, for while she
played for Mr.. Hummel the other men
in the prison hospital could hear and
see her, and her visits made them
happy.
But Miss Brown was not the only
friend of Mr.. Hummel during the days
of his disgrace.
One of the honor students of the
Long Island College hospital, in the
graduating class of 1907, was Philip
B. Matz, young Baltimore student.
His actual knowledge of medicine,
added to a genuine kindness for his
fellow beings, made him more than
successful in treating the cases the
older doctors allowed him to handle
during his senior year. 1t was with a
feeling that their pupil would acquit
himself creditably that the doctors Sc
cured him the assignment to Black
wells Island Immediately after his

OF course, on several of these occa-
sions Miss Brown was announced. The
doctor was introduced
And then of course the inevitable
happened.
Even before he had been formally
presented, Dr. Matz had heard of the
beautiful young woman whose graft
tude toward her old friend had never
changed in his adversely. He had
heard Of her from Hummel, from the
other prisoners, froD the keepers,
who had come to look forward to her
visits almost as anxiously as did
Hummel himself.
What has followed has been the Sc
cret the grim old place has kept so
well for months. Now that it is out,
Miss Brown, with her face suffused
with bushes, will tell you herself that
the minute she saw DIR. Matz "he ap-
pealed to her." and the doctor will
tell you that even before he had met
her he had made up his mind that so
loyal friend as Miss Brown had
shown herself to be was just the girl
for him.

From the centcr purline was placed

dragged along. But it was not only
Mr.. Hummel that saw her. OF course
no one would ever suspect it, but
there are pleasant walks and quiet
hooks even on Blackwell's Island, and
a very happy young couple were often
seen walking along in the very shadow
of the prison, more deeply engrossed
with each other than with anything
else in all the world.
Now that the secret is out, the
quiet smiles of approval that have
greeted the young couple from the
associates of the young man and the
friends of the young girl have been

New York.-The four grim gray
walls OF the city prison over on Black

with the secret of romantic engage

ON the faces of the forlorn creatures
Y6uTced to live therefor the fortunate
fE1an Is DIR. Philip B. Matz, assistant
physician to the prison and the friend
'us every unfortunate inmate of that
place according to the Sunday World.
The heroine In the case is Miss Jo-
sephine Brown, who lives at No. 204
West Ninety-fourth street, New York.
1t was on mission of mercy to "the
rstand' that Miss Brown met DR.. Matz
but to begin at the beginning:
A little over IL years ago Chicago
was taking very great interest in
deed in little seven.year-old girl who
could play the violin with the skill of
a born artist. The little one was Jo-
sephine Brown. She had won her
fonors at a series of public concerts.
A year or two later she came to New
York with her mother, and added to
her fame as violinist was her repu-
tsfToH for childish beauty. The almost
perreCt1y formed features of her face,
ese magnificent black eyes and long,
Ies-black hair acclaimed her wherever
she appeared. Those who were
charmed with her then predicted that
as she grew older she would become
one of the most beautiful women in
Che world.
En- New York Mrs. Brown secured
Tor her daughter the leading violin
eEsschers, and very soon musicians
and artists were attracted toward the
little western girl. Photographers,
artists in black and white and those
0who painted in oil besieged the
'fzroSher TO allow Josephine to pose for
them Mrs. Brown granted as many
"1,f these requests as possible, and the
Hzdonna-like face of the little girl
became well known in the artists
studios OF the city.
