with ready pencil and an accurate Gamer
to make story about II.
The young man found plenty Of materia
accessible, but when he tried to interview
the remarkable young fellow who SCENE,
to have charge of everything, he found hin
unusually taciturn. John wouldn't tall
about himself, and nobody seemed to know
anything concerning him-save that he wa
a singularly useful and unselfsh helper o
humanity, and under the circumstances thi
seemed to them quite enough. But tn,
clever young man contrived to secure al
excellent picture of the head OF the hos
| pital, swapping 1t, however, without John
| knowledge.
The article appeared in the great daily
| and Johns picture was in its midst. And
tall old man in high office building saw
the portrait and stared at it, and the paper
shook in his hands as he looked and looked
again. Then he took his hat and went to
the office OF the great daily and they told
him what they knew and showed him the
original photograph.
John was walking beneath the trees with
a sleeping child in his arms when this tall
old man confronted him.
"John"
"Father!"
They spoke quietly because of the sleep
ing child.
Pm needed here, father
"les, John, l understand"
He looked at the fine young figure, the
sunburnt face, the clear gray eyes. His
heart suddenly swelled, and he gently laid
his hand on his sons shoulder, very gently
because of the sleeping child.
I've missed you, boy"
"You should have forgotten me, father"
Il can't lose you again, my son"
There was a little silence.
I'm useful here, father. I'm doing
something helpful"
You shall not cease the good work, my
boy You shall be still more helpful. You
shall build hospital for these little ones;
you shall establish a permanent camp"
John looked at his father with troubled
eyes,. He noted the silver hair, the tremb-
ling hands.
Il am bound by a compact, father, a
compact with the woman who took me
from the ditch, and nursed me back to
life and made a man of me-"
God bless her." said the old man. 1--WE
will go to her together, son. She will not
keep you from me-"
John hesitated.
That great hospital, father"
ut will be called -'
Whatever you like, dear boy"
1T will be called Hamlins Hospital"

What He Was.

Judge Fiero, president of the Greene
county society in New York city, al
organization of former residents OF
Rip Van Wrinkles county who have
adopted the metropolis as home fol-
| business or other reasons, is one OF
those who knows the life Of the farmer
by right of birth and long association
and is as proud of the fact as of the
position he has earned at the New York
state bar and in the hearts of all who
know him. He is a convincing and
eloquent speaker and can tell a good
story well.
At the last annual dinner of the So
ciety he was discussing farm life, and
held that the farmers were the mainstay
of the nation. He recalled a governor
of western state who was so proud
of being farmer that he never made
campaign speech without featuring
that fact. One day this statesman be-
gan an harangue to rural audience
in somewhat this style:
Il am farmer and thank God for
it. l was born on farm was raised
on the farm; I live on a farm, and,
please Heaven, shall die on the farm.
In fact, l am so much of the soil that
some say was born between two rows
of corn

that Teller must be a pumpkin
