Written for The Washington Herald
I've stirred up the ashes, Tom, in the old
familiar blaze.
A bit Of song I heard to-day brings back
the dear, dead days.
faces come 10 me, youth and
maidenhood;
7 hear that Jolly laugh OF yours in the
cracking wood.
The children have hung Christmas greens
ell around tho room.
And the subtle scent Of baIsam gives
a faint perfume
The old clock stands a-smiling with It's
face Of mirth,
And I feel you here beside me, your
feet upon the hearth.
The Christmas cheer Is IN the home;
hear the dancing feet
Old-time tunes. Tom, and the fiddle Just
as sweet
There's a sadness in my soul. Tom; I
want your hand In mine.
Ny heart IS growing weak; guess I
need the strength Of thine.
I've made a pile Of money. Ten; have
an honored name:
And never by word or deed bowed my
head in shame.
I have good gifts Of God, Tom-wife and
children dear;

New York, Jan 15.-The French
Academy has made It's annual dlstrlbu-
ton Of prizes of virtue" bringing TO
light some touching instances of genuine
heroism.
In 17S2 a wealthy citizen Of Paris. the
Baron de Montyon, presented the French
Academy with 1900 francs, the revenue
Of which was to be given every year TO
any man or woman who had performed
a remarkable "acte de vertu." Since
then. other donations have increased the
fund; and every year the academy dis
tributes a considerable sum OF money
to a large number Of persons. who have
distinguished themselves by deeds Of
devotedness, charity, or courage.
Among the most interesting Of the prize
winners are three young Breton nuns
10 whom 900 francs was awarded. They
belong to the congregation Of St Joseph
de Cluny, and devote themselves to the
care Of the lepers I'm the island Of Man
garewa, in the Pacific Ocean. So far
| from the beaten track is this lonely
rock, that letters are only delivered twice
| a year, by a mailing boat from Tahiti.
Here these brave women conduct a hos
| pital for lepers. Until they themselves
| become victims Of the disease they bring
hope. comfort. and Joy into the lives Of
these tncurabIes.
/ Close schools to Some Children.
/ Until lately. these noble sisters had a
I school for little girls, but the French
/ government. to whom the desolate island
belongs, deemed that. although they were
worthy to nurse the lepers, they were
unfit 10 teach the children Of the
/ islanders, and, like their sisters IN
France. they were obliged to close their
! school
/ Another important prize. 5000 francs,
/ was given 10 a work founded by a priest
/ IN the wild mountains OF Auvergne. n
1856 a young priest, the Able Robert,
! used in the gorge OF Deveze. a wretched
/ house that had become his property, TO
lodge ala epiIeptic child, whom he carried
| on his shoulders up the steep mountain
1 path TWO poor women came 10 help him
and the three with their own hands,
/ added 20 the house. where. soon, two,
three, four, and five incurable children
/ were brought by their parents.
| Then Pere Robert began 10 build in
| earnest. and now a large hospital for
/ incurabIes. served by eighty nuns, stands
! in the center OF the gorge Around It
are cultivated fields and orchards; and.

ASK TED TO RETURN MEDAL
jamestown Commissioners Say GeOr-
gia Did Not Pay For Medal
Given Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Dispatches
received here today from Atlanta to
the effect that Immediately upon the
return of former President Roosevelt
to this country he would be asked
by w. n Mitchell, the Georgia COM
missioner to the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton, to return a medal presented to
him ostensibly by the state of Georgia
but paid for by Mitchell and others
from their private funds, has caused
considerable discussion here.
According to these dispatches the
state of Georgia failed to pay for the
medal, and it is proposed to have him
return it so that the inscription show
ing it to have been presented by the
state of Georgia may be erased and
the names of the proper donors sub
stituted.
Just what attitude Mr.. Roosevelt
will assume if this proposition is
! made to him is not known of course,
but it is thought that he will readily
return it for such a change in its
inscription as may be thought wise
Georgians here are discussing the
| Question with considerable interest
today, as it is recognized that such g
step would advertise to the world thai
Georgia had not paid for the medal
| Mitchell and others claim that as
they paid for it they have a right
to say what inscription it shall bear

HUMAN HAIR INDUSTRY.
Amount Offered For Sale Every Year
Reaches Total of $4,000. 600.

Inc entire amount of human hair
that is bought and sold throughout
the world in single year is esti-
mated as being worth $4,000, 900.
So that while the industry does not
rank with the wheat and corn crops
in the commerce of nations it still
is quite tidy little business.
Since the days of Babylon and an
cient Egypt wigs have been worn by
mult1tudes of persons. In Egypt and
certain other oriental countries the
head has been completely shaven for
religious reasons, but the real &C
tuating cause behind the religious
significance has been cleanliness.
The Chinamans pigtail, while it
has for centuries taken on a racial
and semi-religious significance, was
only originally a forced action i'm
posed on the Chinese population as
health measure. The Tartar con-
querors of China, the Manchurian
Tartars, whose imperial family to this
very day occupy the throne of China,
never had and do not now wear the
pigtail.
Yet Italy and France today con-
sumo fully half of all the artificial
hair handled in commerce. France,
according to government figures,
buys 100000 pounds of human hair
annually. This hair is unprepared
In addition France buys 100000
pounds of hair already made up into
switches or wigs. All of this manu-
featured hair comes from Italy.
The bulk of the human hair sold
comes from China. The industry
would not exist if it were not for the
thousands of long queues that John
Chinaman sells to cover the increas-
ing badness of his European breth-
rem.

VOLCANIC DUST SHUT OUT SUN.
Darkness Along Gulf Coast Caused
Fear World Was at an End.

Fear World Was at an End.
A New Orleans dispatch says:
Volcanic dust, blown from three
craters in Mexico and Central Ameri-
ca, which now are in eruption, served
to thicken yesterdays clouds, which
explains why the country became
black as night at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. This is the opinion of
Lieutenant John G. Solay, United
States navy seismographic expert of
recognized high standing. Darkness
continued more than an hour.
Winds blew steadily from the
southwest, Lieutenant Solay says,
filling the upper air with the dust
particles discharged by the volcanoes,
and when the clouds formed they
held the dust, just as a city fog is
full of dust The wind then shifted
and blew from the north. These
clouds of inky density piled up in
huge masses and obscured the sun
more completely than has any storm
in New Orleans in years.
In towns along the gulf coast ne
groes gathered in churches and
prayed, believing the earth was com
ing to an end.
