HOW LITTLE BROWN
HANDS" CAME TO
BE WRITTEN.

One OF the pleasing features
of the teachers institute was the
talk given by Miss Mary Han
nah Krout, in which she told how
she happened to write her famous
child's poem, Little Brown
Hands," Miss Krout conducted
the opening exercises Friday
morning, says the Charlottesville
(Indiana) Review of October IA.
She recited her poem for the
teachers.
The circumstances under which
she wrote the poem, when a
schoolgirl in this city, were re-
lated most interestingly. Miss
Krout said that one morning,
when a girl of only fifteen, she
was washing dishes in the kitchen
at her home, when somehow the

you say. Yes, just now, but such
summer sea with steamships
growing more palatial every year.
Tomorrow we may wake to find
the new aerial service fully es-
tablished, bringing Hawaii with
in twenty or thirty hours of San
Francisco.
In accordance with Gods just
laws, silently but surely, out in
the great ocean a community is
growing, virile, kindly, more hui
man than elsewhere on earth,
with finer, more practical con-
ception of inter-aerial brother
hood than any known here on
the mainland. That community
some day will knock at the door
of Congress, and, notwithstand-
ing the Outlook's horror of the
outcome, will be admitted among
the sovereign states of the Union,
because her high character will
command it. This ambition char
acterizes the Hawaii of today,
but she has no wis!, to make TN
due haste toward her manifest
destiny. The character of a COM
munity already admitted to the
status of Territory of the Amer
lean Union should be the supreme
consideration in the question of
its right tc share the privilege
and responsibility of statehood.
We mean to develop the charac-
ter that will earn this right and
we want few thousands of the
best Christian families of the
mainland to come and help us in
this high endeavor.

how the little hands helped do
the work. Gradually, a theme
for a poem came to her.

Dishes" Miss Krout said, 81 went
into the parlor, sat down on the
floor and began writing the poem.
1t took me two or three hours to
write it. When it was finished, l
decided I wouldn't show it to my
father, who was a severe critic
of my feeble efforts at writing at
that early age. I knew it wasn't
punctuated properly, and that the
little poem was imperfect.

Instead of allowing my father
to see it, l showed it to neigh
Dor, U. M. Scott, now deceased.
Mr.. Scott complimented me high
ly upon the poem and said it was
good enough to be published. He
asked me to make another copy
of it and we would send it away
to some magazine. This I did,
and the poem was sent to Our

"Some time later, I was very
much surprised and made very
happy indeed when letter came
from the editor Saying they were
going to accept the poem. In the
letter was enclosed a crisp SIS
bill. I thought then I was rich.

ceived money for writing any
thing. At the time, I had COM

The book from which Miss
Krout read the poem was publ

poems under the title "Child

The poem follows:

grain.
They find, in the thick waving
grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped straw
berry grows,
They gather the earliest snow
drops
And the first crimson buds of
the rose.
They toss the new hay in the
meadow;
They gather the elder-bloom
white;
They find where the dusky grapes
purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang
ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy's
wines;
They know where the fruit hangs
thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry
vines.
They gather the delicate sea
weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea
shells
Fairy barks that have drifted
to land.
They wave from the tall rocking
tree tops,
Where the orioles hammock
nest swings;
And at nighttime are folded in
slunber
By song that fond mother
sings.
They who toll bravely are strong
est;
The humble and poor become
great;
And so from these brown-handed
children
Shall grow mighty rulers of
state.
The pen of the author and states
man
The noble and wise of the lsnd--
The sword, and the chisel. and
palette,
Shall be held in the little brown
hand.

few teachers kept him in more than

AS result Tommy's influence was
all for evil and the Carberry school
had from three to five teachers a
term. Joel Peters. who was chairman
of the school committee, had grown
weary of looking for new instructors
and had started to town for the pur-
pose of engaging some quick-tempered
man as teacher who might forget state
laws in his passion and spank first,
thinking afterward. Susie Conover
had pleaded so hard for a chance that
he had abandoned his hope OF revenge
temporarily and had given her the po-
sition with the assurance that she
could not last a term out.
II was very tremulous teacher who
stood on the platform watching the

THE PUZZLE FOR BOTANlSTS
California Has Pine With Cones so
Hard the Seeds Can't Be
Released.

Upper California is the home of
tree that has puzzled botanists. 1t is
pine which will grow only near the
seacoast. Its growth is slow and it
does not attain to great size.
The strange thing about it is that
there are to all appearances, insur-
mountable difficulties in the way of
the repetition of the species. Some
specimens of 1t exist in Kew Gardens,
England They have been carefully eX-
amined by competent authorities and
all admit that the tree presents a prob
lem unlike anything elsefhere met
with.
This pine produces at regular inter
walls the usual cones containing seeds.
but, strange to say the cones are so
thoroughly protected that the seeds
cannot be released The cones are hard
and tightly closed and have strong
overlapping scales
More extraordinary still is the fact
that the pine after producing its al.
most invulnerable cones, keeps them
| hanging on its branches year after
year Unless through some peculiar
accident, the seeds would apparent
ly remain attached to the parent tree
forever Many of the cones on the
trees in Kew Gardens have been there

the branches and the formation of the

as he cramped the wheels to let the

member there's a state law against

The school committeeman touched
his horse with the whip and the speedy
mare vanished in cloud Of dust, while
Miss Conover went in with show of
sternness to ring the bell that should
call the first session OF thesiall term.
Carberry school had gained an unen-
viable reputation among pehagogues.
Following the exposure, OF al scandal
in large city school an alert jegisla.
tor had passed a lew against punish
ment of any sort In the public schools
with the exceptions of the imposition
OF extra tasks and keeping unruly pu-
pills in their seats after the regular
dismissal time. 1t was argued that
punishment would be administered at
home when needful, but the lawgivers
had argued without Mrs. Belding.
Left widow with an only son, she
had made an idol of the boy. She had
declared that he should never be hui

tented herself with moral suasion-an
exceedingly insufficient means of con-
troll when even scolding stopped at

they were worth"
Extra lessons and staying in after
school had no terrors for Tommy. He
