MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD'S
HOME.
Dour old home, wlmt a halo of beauty
Around thy walla mill doth glow.
Made bright by aonne of love and duty
(foil in Ilia word lias taught us to allow.
Within lliia home thoro’a a treasured book
With Illustrated scenes of sweet long ago,
1‘ago after page we turn slowly and look
On pictures we love, and almost adore.
When the earth awakes from her wlntory sloop
Clothed In u costume of delicate green,
The violets from their bods basin to peep—
'TIs then most beautiful the old home seams.
The mainosn near tho door proudly stands,
Gorgeously arrayed In downy pink flowers,
Silently Its beauty admiration demands,
As far above the porch boldly It towers.
Here hour after hour dear sister and I,
So wistful to capture the humming bird
As from flower to flower they'd nutekly fly,
Ho eager to triumph we uttered not a word.
Then oft to tho mulberry tree we went,
On which was suspended a rustic swing,
Though rude i 1 structure, a source of content,
To which our memory w ill fondly cling.
Further down In t he meadow so green,
Rubbling forth 'neatli tho banks of tho bill,
Is the free stone spring calm and serene
With waters cool and refreshing still.
These pictures and many, many more
In memory’s book we carefully store,
Wlmt o'reour lot, whore e're we roam,
We’ll ever cherish the dear old home.
This home so dear, quite Insignificant seems
Compared to home In that beautiful Land,
Cod has prepared for 1 1 in loved and redeemed
Which Ills word afllrms shall forever stand.
Then may wo strive Its portals to reach.
All Us requisites endeavor to teach,
Aud when at Inst our summons comes,
May this our greeting be, "Welcome 11011 ) 0 ."

FOLK 1.0RE OF CLEVELAND.
Incidents of His Life Before Chance

Despite the publicity that inevitably
hedges about the public man and the
successful politician, there is usually

fectly fectlv told told if if at at ali all, and and this this is is that hat
which more, perhaps, than and other
tells the impartial and simple story of
the man as he is or was. It is the evi
deuce of his intimates, unconsciously
and anecdotically relating friend what manner
of man was their before the
coming of that tidal wave which swept
him from them to fame, and perchance
to that apotheosis of endeavor, which
burns the bright light which falls upon
a throne.
The folk lore of a country indicates
better than the historian its menial
characteristics, and what may be ap
propriately called the folk lore of a

“Grover was so identified
with the case that I never hear the
name of Flanagan mentioned but 1
think of this Flanagan and how Cleve
land saved iiis neck from the hangman’s
uoose. Certainly if Providence inter
fered in mundame affairs it interfered
this time to save this wretched Irish
man. 1 think the year was 1881 or
1882, and the man in question had
been sentenced to death. lie had
been defended by the late Ammi Cutter
and the late II. B. Greene, and to be
executed on Friday. The pro
ceding Wednesday night a man who
boarded at the TiITt house heard cor
heard lain lawyers discussing the case, and
them say that had FlanagaD been
a man of means he would never have
been convicted of murder iu the first
degree. wealthy
“This man had occasional
streaks of kindness and generosity, and
the words fired his blood. He left his
dinner and proceeding to look the mat
ter up. He came that very evening to
my house and got me to interest my
self in the matter. I went with him
aud saw Mr. Cutter, Flanagan’s law
yer and got whnt light on the subject
could be obtained from him. He sta
ted his sincere conviction that the de
gree should have been the second and
not the first of criminality, as premedi
tationhadnot been perfectly proven.
When we left the lawyers’ house my
friend said: ‘I wont see this man die
without an effort. We must write a
dispatch to Governor Cornell.’ Mind
you, this was Wednesday night, and
the execution was fixed for Friday
morning and time was precious.
“We framed a telegram asking the
governor for a respite on the ground of
evidence newly discovered that Flana
gan first was degree. not guilty I signed of murder in the
it and so did he,
but that was not enough. He insisted
on invoking ollicial interference, and
we hunted up (Trover Cleveland, Mavor
0 f tho city, and got him to sign it too.
That was his first connection with (he
famous Flanagan case. From him wo
went to Millard Howard Fillmore, son
f f thc ex-president, whoaiso^signed the
telegram, the and it was sent. It resulted
in obtaining of a respite for two
weeks, but the executive command
was followed quite promptly by au
order from Governor Cornell addressed
to Grover Cleveland, commanding him
the other subscribers to the tele
gram to show* cause at once before him
at Albany why such a telegram had
hern sent, aud appointing a very early
day Albany for a hearing. We all four went
to and appeared at the stipula
ted time.
“Mr. Cleveland told me afterwards
that his appearance at that time was
the first in the Executive Chamber or
even iu too v apnol at Albany* Audit
was he who made the argument to save
Flanagan’s neck and saved it too.
C leveland had a hard judge to plead
before. Cornell was very disagreeable
and made every effort to accentuate
the position people against the application
and the w ho were before him

his temper marvelously and concluded
his argument without a break. It was
one ol the ablest efforts 1 ever beard,

Then Flanagan made a remark which
Cleveland afterward made famous by
j repetition. It is pretty hard to have to
get ready again after I was readied up
before. It is not the mere fear of dy
ing that bothers me, but the God, disgrace
to my family, and so help me sir,

—not on cither side, sir!’ But the poor
fellow didn’t have to die after ad.
Another week’s respite came at me

cause Flanagan, it was shown, had
harbored no resentment against his
victim and was hopelessly drunk when
lie did the killing.
“I never saw (Trover Cleveland so
pleased as when he heard the news.
He couldn’t have been happier if he had
made £10,000, and #10,000, was a pot
of money to him in those davs.

was in the Flanagan case. The second
time, and I think within a year, he en
tered it in a magisterial capacity as
governor of the State of New York,
and its lawful occupant.”
Warren F. Miller, another prominent
lawyer, Cleveland’s Fidus Achates and
most familiar intimate in his Buffalo
days, tells many admiring things of
his old friend.
“1 remember one time,” said he, “a
country milliner came to Buffalo iu
great distress to seek a lawyer. She
saw Cleveland’s sign over his window
—a proof of the efficacy of sign boards
—and went upstairs to find him. She
told him afterward with fine frankness,
that she had never heard of him before,
but that her uncle lived iu Cleveland
and she liked the name, and being a
stranger dropped in. If Grover Cleve
laud had many such clients he would
have gone to the poor-house instead of
going to the White House.
“It turned out that her business was
a foreclosure suit. Somebody had a
mortgage ou her house. See had let
the payments and interest run behind,
and she wanted a lawyer to do that im
possible thing, to get her out of the
scrape without money. There wasn’t
much time to do it, but he told the la
dy to call agaiu. aud that meanwhile
he’d think it over. He did so. The
result of the thinking was the sending
of Mort Bobbins to the country town
she hailed from with instructions to
settle the suit with $1200 he gave him
and take an assignment of the mort
gage. This done, of course Cleveland proceed
ings dropped, and creditor Grover well
became his client’s as as
her lawyer. He had won her suit for
her by paying her debt.
“I believe she repaid him some years
afterward, delaying restitution because
she said‘she had a boy to bring up.’
Cleveland used to tell that as a joke.
He would say, I ve got a right, ol ac

WHY WE CUT THE PRICES.
t
OUR NOVEMBER SALES
Thus far are far in excess of last year, and it may be
asked: Why then cut the prices in some lines of
Dress Goods and Coverings in the very midst of the
season? The answer: Because we have decided to
close out ad odd lots, regardless of value, and instead
of waiting until towards the close of the season, we
are resolved to move them while business is brisk, if
making low prices on them will accomplish our pur¬
pose. That reductions
