Doll House Library.
A search for a child's short story,
'The Griffin and the Minor Canon,"
in a volume all by itself revealed to a
persistent city shopper the thought
and money that are expended on the
' Furnishing of dolls' houses. Dook
stores had not the story in a single
volume, but in a department store
one young woman interviewed had recently
been transferred from the toy
department and was able to contribute
a helpful hint.
"I think," she saTd, "you can find It
In one of the dolls' houses downstairs."
Curiosity had by that time become
a sauce to literature, so the shopper
hurried downstairs to inspect the doll
houses. Three of the most expensive
houses contained libraries consisting
of a score of diminutive books and
each book contained a child's story
complete. One of them was "Th?
Griffin and the Minor Canon."

Crisis in L. W.,
Insulted by a Judge, the Man Who
May Become a Supreme Court
Justice Nearly Abandoned the
Practise of Law.
"Now that Lloyd W. Bowers, the solicitor
general of the United States. Is
being t?'?:e'.l of as a probable Taft
nomination for the Supreme court. I
am reminded of an Incident in Mr.
Bower's career which furnished the
| crisis of his life, and of that incident;
I have personal knowledge" remarked
a lawyer of national fame who once
was very close himself to becoming
a Supreme court justice.
"I think 1 am safe In savins," continued
my informant, "that there is
not at the bar of the United States,
and never has been, a man of greater
delicacy of sentiment or of more constant
and yerfect recognition of the
rights and feeling? of others than Mr.
Bowers. Me also has a high sense of
personal honor, ;:nd it was due to the
combination of these characteristics
(hat there arose the crisis in his life
I of which 1 speak.
"Following his graduation from the
i Columbia law school, ho had been for
i some time managing clerk of a lead:
ing law office in New York city.
There he was highly esteemed and a
; great career was predicted at the bar
for him. And.there he appeared one
day, displaying every evidence of a
; sense of humiliation, the manner of a
| man who had met with a grievous per!
sonal insult.
"His friends flocked around him?
what was the matter, they asked?
j Then, in efTcct, Mr. Powers told them
that he had that day had such an unhappy
experience in court he had de!
cided to abandon forever the profesI
sion of the law. He had appeared in
j court, he said, to ask that a long;
pending matter be decided by the
j court, stating that it was of no real
1 consequence how the matter was de1
cided. but that it was imperative that
i the decision should be made, that the
I accounts in question might be settled
I and money necessary for the living ex|
penses of bis client be released. ' Rut
I no sooner had he made his statement,
j Mr. Bowers went on to say, than the
court visited its anger upon him,
i shocking and humiliating him so that
{ ho had decided to abandon the law,
because he did not wish ever again
to be placed in such a position where
he could be insulted, while at the
same time it would be Impossible for
i him to resent the Insult.

General Broke Down, Fearing He
Would Lose the Battle of the
Brandywine Unless Discouraged
Soldiers Were Paid.
A year or so before the venerable
C. C. Clarke, now in his eighty-eighth
year, retired, in 1900, as vice-president
of the New York Central-railroad, he
called me into his office and pointed to
a paragraph in a newspaper containing
some reference to Robert Morris,
the financier of the American revolution.
"In the late thirties when I went to
college in Geneva. N. Y.." said Mr.
Clarke, "I made the acquaintance of a
man of the name of Brown, who had
for years been postmaster of the village,
and who was then well along in
the eighties. In the course of this acquaintance
I found out that he had
been a clerk in the office of Robert
Morris at the time when he was exhausting
his fortune in behalf of the
fighting colonies, and many an hour I
spent with the old man listening to
his anecdotes of the great financier.
And then, one day, my aged friend
told me this story of Robert Morris
and George Washington, which I have
never seen in print
" 'One afternoon, shortly before the
Battle of the Erandywine, which took
place in the fall of '77,' said Mr.
Brown. "General Washington, unattended,
came to Mr. Morris' office. He
seemed to be in great anxiety, and he
i hastened to explain to Mr. Morris that
unless he could hove some money
with which to make at least a partial
payment to his soldiers, he did not believe
that it would be possible for him
to gain a victory in the approaching
battle, ~ho soldiers, he said, had boen
many months without pay. They had

Bowers' Career
to 6eek a livelihood in some other
way. His friends, realizing his sincerity,
attempted most earnestly to
dissuade him from his purpose. They
asl>3d him to come to no decision until
he had given very careful thought
to the matter; at last they gained this
concession from him, and I have always
believed that it was this advice
that finally persuaded Mr. Bowers to
abandon his purpose to leave the law.
Story of Old .
Senator Bulkeley's Discovery of Little
William G3rlow, Who First Demonstrated
for the Hartfords
the Vaiue of Bunt.
One day, in the early spring of 1S74,
when Morgan G. Bulkeley, now senator
from Connecticut, was backing
almost single-handed the Hartford
(Conn.) baseba'.l nine, which two
years later just missed' winning the
championship, being only two games
behind the Chlcagos, he took me to
see a game between the Hartfords
and a semi-professional club. We sat
in the scorers' box.
"I have brought you here," said
Bulkeley, the most enthusiastic fan I
have ever known, "that you might see
at work the new youngster I found
playing with the old Atlantics of
Brooklyn. He's out there at shortstop
now; and I want you to keep
your eye on him. I don't mean that
you should keep your eyes glued on
him n-Viilo ho ie nlnvinp shnrtston. al
though he is very good In that position.
But when he conies to bat don't
take your eyes off of him."
Pretty scon the youngster in question,
slight of bui'.d and only a few
Inches over five feet, came to bat.
"Now," cautioned Mr. Bulkeley,
"you will see something that you
have never seen before. I don't know
whether it's right or not. according
to baseball rules, but he does it?and
there you are."
The boy stod at the plate, with the
bat oustretched directly in front of
him, like a musket at present arms.
Thus holding the bat, he let the ball
hit it squarely after one or two balls
had been pitched. Immediately the
ball dropped, Jumped in front of the
home plate, and Barlow was within
safe striking distance of first base
before the pitcher could recover the
ball.
Mr. Bulkeley beamed all over.
"Nov,'," he shouted above the uproar,
"you will see the captain of the other
nine making vigorous objection." Sure
HBlglXJIl V
endured many hardships. Their privations,
their dire need of money had
in a measure demoralised and discouraged
them.
" 'And right here, and all of a sudden,'
said Mr. Brown, 'General Washington
broke down completely. He put
his hands to his face so that he might
conceal his emotion, but I saw the
tears trickling down between his
j hands. He was completely overcome,
and I was so awe-stricken at the spectacle
of the commander-in-chief of the
Continental army in tears that I stood
as though I were transfixed to the
iloor. I looked at Mr. Morris, to see
j how ne was affected, and found him
j trying to relieve the situation by ap|
poaring to be busy arranging some papers
that had been spread before him
prior to General Washington's entrance.
Then, as suddenly as he had
broken down, General Washington regained
his composure, and went on to
say that If Mr. Morris could find within
twenty-four hours sufficient money
to pay ench man in the army a little
of what was due him, this payment
would do much to revive the army's
courage and morals, and. If this were
accomplished, there was little doubt
but that the British would be held in
check.

then he replied that he himself
was without funds, that he did not
know where he could raise oven the
small amount asked on such short notice,
but that he would do the best he
could, adding that he did not feel justified
in encouraging any hope in General
Washington's breast that the
money could be secured.
" 'General Washington's reply was
simple, 'i know tliat you will do a'.l i
you can?as you have done already," |

1 An eastern fable tells of a potentate
who demanded that there should
1 be brought to him tbr sting? of p thousand
bees killed because one of their
' colony had dared commit lese-majeste
by stinging ilie hand of royalty. When
1 I thov were brought in a tiny golden
I thimble tho kint? was so amazed to

joints made such a little mass
' that he? issued a manifesto to the ef!
kct that thereafter no person within
the bounds of the kingdom rho\:M
complain at tho sting of a b >e. The
! le::ons of the fable is that petty ani
noyances hurt because they are exagi
gerated in the mind, that when they
*! are seen in their actual proportions

"Anyway, soon after the Incident In
the courtroom occurred, Mr. Bowers
went to Minnesota and in a little
while became counsel for the Chicago
& Northwestern railway system.
Within ten years he was general counsel
in Chicago for -.he whole system.
Now he Is solicitor general in the department
of justice, and in all probability
will he named within a few
years at. the most as an associate justice
of the Supreme court. Yet, you
see how narrowly he missed the distinguished
career he has made as a
lawyer." .

Baseball Days
enough vigorous protests were made,

Again, in his proper order, the
youngster stood at the home plate.
But this time, instead of holding the
club rigidly in front of him, he
tossed it at the ball just before it
was over the plate. That swerved the
ball so that it rolled rather slowly towards
third base. 'He will get to
first base before the third baseman
can pick it up," announced Mr. Bulkeley
confidently. And the youngster
did.
I looked at Mr. Bulkeley in wonder;
in all my baseball days I had never
seen anything like the batting of this
lad. Mr. Bulkeley smiled enthusiastically.
"They call that a bunt," he
said. "Some baseball players think
that it is all right. Some insist that
it isn't fair. It is an entirely new
freak in baseball and this boy has invented
it. His name is Barlow." I
In these days when the scientific j
bunt is one of the important features
of the nationaf game, it is probable
that Morgan G. Bulkeley, senior senator
from Connecticut, when things i
grow a little duil in the senate chamber,
recalls with a considerable de- j
gree of satisfaction that It was with j
his first Hartford baseball nine that j
little William Barlow demonstrated
fully the value of the bunt in baseball
to the player who knows how to employ
It skillfully. This Barlow did in
less th^n one season, for a serious Illness
did not permit him to play long
with the Hartfords. Yet In the short
while that he was with the team he
taught the secret of the bunt to his
teammates, and It was one at the
tricks that speedily made the Hartford
club one of the country's best for
a few years.

he said. Then he took Mr. Morris'
hand, held It for a moment, and went

" 'I never knew whether Mr. Morris
secured the money or not.', Mr. Brown
added. '1 do know that he went out of
the office immediately after General
Washington had departed. Two days
later, I think it was. the Battle of
Brandywine was fought. General
Washington was defeated, and the
British occupied Philadelphia. Maybe
it was all because Mr. Morris was not
able to get for General Washington
the little money that he needed so
badly for his soldiers. But I cannot
say for a certainty.'"

RIDDING FARM I
OF GRASSHOPPER!
Favorite Remedy, Recommended |
By Colorado Agricultural
College Is Arsenic
Bran Mash.
(By S. ARTHUR JOHNSON, Colorado
Agricultural College.)
In spite of the fact that a great
deal of work has been done by experiment
stations on grasshoppers, no
royal road to control has yet been
found. Each attack has to be considered
on its own merits and relief j
sought through the most promising ;
channel.
One of the favorite remedies is ar- |
senic bran mash. This is made by *
mixing one pound of white arsenic
with 25 pounds of bran. The arsenic
is so near the color of the
flour in the bran that it is not easy to
tell when the mixing is well done. To j
overcome this difficulty, the arsenic (
may first be collected by adding a lit- 1

The agriculturist has often found 4t

i number of wagons for the multifarious
requirements incident to the operation
of a farm. The wagon that

vegetables and berries to market

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent, of Sufferera Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.
From several investigations that
have been made by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, it is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent, of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 80.000 prison,
ers housed in tho penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, not less than 12,000 arc infected
with this disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possession?
