WILL CARLETON's BALLADS

Will Carleton's ballads were writ ten for the most part in colloquial language, but their popularity is due to a certain telling pathos that is rarely absent from his serious work. Here is characteristic specimen from "Cfty FestiVals:

 spryi
 Wheel me to the window. girl, fling it
 open high! @ Crippled of the body now, and blind

 This is a well remem bered bit from ttBetsey and I Are Out Draw up the papers, lawyer, and
 make 'em good and stout, For things are at the crossways, and
 Betsey and I are out.
 The following is taken from "Out of the Old House, Nancy''- Here the old house will stand but not
 as it stood before; Winds will whistle through it and
 rains will flood the floor And over the hearth once blazing, the
 snowdrifts oft will pile, And the old thing will seem to be a

TEACHING ENGLISH
 TO MINE WORKERS.

One of the most difficult and impor- tant tasks in connection with the op- eratioa1 of American coal mines to-day is to teach the English language to employees as a necessary measure Of protection to life. In the last three or four years new impetus has been given to this work, and now, through the Y. M C. A. and other agencies, the mining companies are seeking to make it possible for all their work CTS to learn the language
 Tens of thousands of immigrants from Continental Europe have poured into the mining sections, and they are continuing to come in large numbers. It is these mems unfamiliarity with mining and their inability to under stand what is told them, that has been found responsible for a large propor- ton of the accidents
 The greatest progress in the instruc- ton of mine workers has been made by the anthracite operators in northeast ern Pennsylvania. The operators car ry on the work in different ways; some of them esta blish schools of their own, some have travelling lecture syS- terns and some work through the Y. M C. A. as medium. They supply rooms for the classes and run special trains to make it convenient for their employees to attend.
 Another aid in the work is the puibli-

A PERFECT CHRISTMAS.

Let us try to imagine what a scene the world would present if all men the earth around could have and en- joy one perfect ChristmasHone day in which the Christmas spirit should manifest itself in every human heart in all it's happiest, truest, largest meaning. What a foretaste of the millennium such day would be! What sorrow would be nitigated
 what misery assuaged, what enmi- ties, jea1ousies, bitternesses, would be buried never to be renewedi Such a Christmas even for one day would be a source of immeasurable blessing g 10 the world. It could not fail to break the crust of human seldshness beyond restoration and set many springs of kindness and good will flowing, never to cease. While such a Christmas, even for day can ex- ist only in the realm of dreams, it is within our power to make each re- curing Christmas meaSurably like it by translating the best of our means and opportunities to make life lit tie brighter and a little sweeter for those around us and a little nearer like the life we could truly wish for all mankond.-Leslie's Weekly.

THIRTY-TVTO YEAR NAP OF SWEDISH WOMAN BEGAN
 S7 YEARS AGO TO-DAY

Fip Van Wrinkles long nap has had several counterparts in real life, the most notable being the long distance sleeping record established by Caro- line Olsson a Swedish woman, who fell into a trance thirty-seyen years ago today. Dec 24. 1875. and did not her sleep out Miss Olsson is reported to be a healthy, normal woman, who is quite satisfied with seven or eight hours of elumber nightly.
 Caroline OlSson was born on the lS- land of Oguo, off the Swedish coast, in 1881, and was a girl of fourteen when she commenced her lengthy nap On the day before Christmas m 1Slo she returned from school slightly i'll, complaining of toothache and general indisposition, and went to bed. All though the following morning uShered in the great holiday of the year, Caro- line slept on, and all efforts to awaken her were futile. Soon the parents be- came alarmed, and the local physi- clans were called in, but they were unable to do anything for the stricken girl As child she had always en- loved excellent health, and physical examinations developed nothing on on which to base a diagnosis At first the medical men suspected Caro- line of 'faking' but this theory had to be abandoned when it found that needles stuck for into the flesh had no effect on the sleeper. AS year af- attention of eminent physicians all over Europe, but their treatments were as futile as had been those of the local practitioners.
 The years passed on, and the girl, became a woman, slept on. She was kept alive by the administration of two glasses of milk daily Three or four times during thirty years she was aroused sufficiently to arise from her bed and take a step or two, after which she fell back unconscious and continued as before lying in a crouch ing posture with the bedclothes drawn over her head
 When the girls mother died the sleeper was able to grasp the fact and wept violently for a time In 1905 gradual improvement in her condi- ton began Woman-lfke, her first for her hair and manicurfng her fin ger nails Then she began to take solid food in small quantities. One day In 1907 she suddenly recovered complete consciousness. and within a Few months was quite we'll and hearty. An examination by Dr. Broderstrorn, of the famous Saltpetriere Asylum in Paris. failed to reveal any indications of mental defect or physical weakness She was able to recall every detail Df her youth, but manifested a strong aversion to speaking of her long sleep. z Clement c.

MIR. MELLEN'S INDICTMENT.

The memorandum of proposed agreement alleged to have been made between President Mellen of the New Haven and President Chamberlain of the Grand Trunk doesn't bear much resemblance to the tentative agree ment which was offered to the public, recently as the contract that had been considered.
 The agreement offered by the goy- ernment fully bears out the claims made by officials of Massachusetts and Rhode Island before the House Committee on Rules as to the na- ture of the contemplated transaction between the two railway lines.
 The arrest of the railroad magnates is of peculiar interest because it is the first really conspicuous effort that has been made by the government to enforce the criminal provisions of the sherman law.
 If>this law is inadequate in any re- spect to check monopoly. it will be upon the criminal side. Enforce ment of its civil provisions have been found utterly inadequate to provide a remedy.
 Prosecutions have resulted merely in certain decrees by which monopor lies have been segregated into a nutn- Der of parts under a substantially similar ownership. The result has been an increase in the price of the commodities furnished by the divided monopoly.

ELSIE JANIS COMMENCED HER CAREER FIFTEEN
 YEARS AGO TONIGHT.

Elsie Janis, the clever and charming actress who is now one Of the bright est of the stars along the well-known thoroughfare called Broadway, made her first stage appearance fifteen years ago tonight, Dec. 24, 1897, at the age of eight. Miss Janis was born in John E. and Janis Bierbower, and was christened Elsie Janis Bierbower. Her parents were of German, Irish. Scotch and English descent Little Elsie was thing and everybody At the age of three she began initiating the voices and gestures of her parents and the neighbors, with great success. but was speedily discouraged in this-to her pleasant pastime. Then she nimiced the songs of birds, the choo-choo of bursts of various animals. Every time she visited a. circus little Elsie added a new lot of noises, realistic to the destrians passing the Bierbower home came to believe it to be the headQuar- ters of a menagerie. It was the boast she could initiate anything. from a nightingale to a steam-dr1ll.
 Miss Janis was educated by private child her parents removed to Column bus, O., and in that city Elsie made her theatrical debut with James (Neil1's company, playing the part of the boy Cain in s'The Charity Ball" That was on Dec. A, 1897, and two yeafs and one day later, on Christmas. 1899. the girl had the opportunity of a life time, and grasped it. She was a guest at the White House, having be- come acquainted with President and Mrs. Mckinley in Columbus. and a.p- peared in a holiday entertainment be- fore an audience made up of the President, members of the cabinet and other distinguished statesmen and their families. The President was greatly pleased and suggested the de- sirability Of vaudeville career for the talented mimic. Acting on thds advice, in 1906 Miss Janis made her bow to a New York audience. Billed as Little E1sie,'' she made an imme- diate hit as a member of Edward El. Rice's Summer company at the Casino Theatre roof. For three years she re- maIned a top-liner at the two-a-day houses In New York. She never fail ed to win wild Applause by her bur- lesques of the naannerisns and voices of eminent stage stars. This rufmicry | was displeasing to some of the more posnpous and egotistic of the theatrical | celebrities. Before long Miss Janis 1 had a host of initators of her inita : l ton stunt, and eventually vaudeville programs bore such lines as this: ] Hiss F'lossie F'lapper. initiating Miss

1871. Verdi wrote Aida in 1869, and it was intended to be produced sinu1- taneously in Cairo and Paris, but the war between France and Prussia pre- vented the Parisian premiere at the date set The outline of the Hbretto was the work of Mariette Bey, the French Psychologist who excavated the Sphinx and the Saklkara tonbs. M du eLocle elaborated the text in French, and the Italian translation was made by Antonio Ghislanzoni. Aida is one of the most showy and spectacular operas in the Italian repertory, and it's aIluring orientalism is delight to the eye as well as to the ear.

To the Editor of the Hartford Cou-
 rant:
 Under the above heading in last Fridays issue of your paper a rath- CT ridiculous criticism of the army of serving maidens found place. I can- not take them as whole, as I know not the traits or characters of the scandinavianss but let me say a word for the Irish girl.
 She comes to the United States in the fullness of youth, bashfud, blushing girl; she has never been ev- en one night away from her parents before. Her friends here get her a position a S a so-ca1Ied sdomestic;'' she gives the best that is in her to her work; she never lets a week pass without writing to her parents, and her heart is breaking with homesick ness, but still she keeps and on, and she sees approaching her first Christmas away from home. Picture to yourself this poor girl in a strange land She thinks it will console the far-of parents to send them a Christ mas gift, and she goes to the post of fee to send a money order, she gets a blank to fill out, and in her ner- vousness, should she spoil extra one. is she not amply for it? Can our close observer of last week show where she has done wrong, or why she should be jeered at?
 Compare her to the American girl who works in the shop, store or of fee, where is she to be found on her day off ?"-standing in line at a mon ey order window getting a check fer her parents? An no, but go into one of the department stores and you'l find her, perchance, at the false-hair counter or the paint and powder counter, standing in line asking the saIesgirl does this hair match mine. Where does she spend her spare time? Helping out her poor tired, ov- er-worked mother at home, let us hope, but I fear you'll more ire quently see her among the ttrong of theatregoers.
 And, when the time comes for each of those girls to marry, watch the diff ference in their own homes. You'll find the ridiculed domestic baking her ! bread. cake, pies, etc, while the up- to date shop girl is standing in line at the bakery shop waiting to buy her bread, etc. Which of those two, in the opinion of the observer of last week. is the one to be 1aughted at?
