Two Widely Different Pereonatitta® Wmp ° |w<l Up In <>ts® Mm. In St Nicholas Ibero arc tw J tribute® to the late Rev. Charles Lutwidgo Dodgwn, Jaar to a KoncraUon of young reader® os Ix>wis Carroll, author of “Al co In Won derland.’’ An editorial note says: Surely two name® represent two very different men—one an EnglU.i clergyman and for 26 yean lecturer on mathematic® at Christ Church college, Oxford, author of many volume® on his special subject, honored by his fellows, and peer of Eng land’s distinguished men of learning; the other tho merriest, quaintest of story tell ers. whose name is known everywhere by thousands of English speaking readers young and old. Dear Lewie Carroll, bright, delightful, preposterous, gifted* with a wonderful imagination, yet so modest and shy that be told almost in a whisper tho story of “Alice In Wonderland" that made all England shake with laughter. “Through tho Looking Glass’’ was issued, one may any, as a profound public W'eret, and bo sent bashfully, secretly, into tho world .“The Hunting of the Snark,’’ one of tho joiliest, most audacious little books ever written. To tho very last their author shrank from any mention of these delight ful works as though they were an offense to his other self —that profound, serious scholar whoso discourses, lectures and be wildering mathematical problems would have sent Lewis Carroll scampering into the first hiding place in Wonderland. One day, about ten years ago, the writer, accompanied by a friend, stood in the large somber study of Mr. Dodgson In Christ Church college. As woentered the room we could see at first only the heavy table, with piles of pamphlets and great leather volumes upon it, and around it books, books and more books—ponderous and worm eaten (wo felt sure they were worm eaten). Then a slight but stately figure rose from somewhere in the shadow behind an open volume. With a nervous little cough,he cam* forward, bowing so stiffly and With so slight a show of sur prised delight ut our coming that for an instant we felt awed and subdued. Next we realized that he was bashful, actually timid! But, later, his gentle voice, his grave, kindly eyes and bis gracious words satisfied us that he ' really Was the man whose genial letter, crossing the seas, had made us regard him as a friend. Among other subjects, he spoke pleas antly of St Nicholas and of young Amer icans, but when in the most delicate man ner possible we ventured an allusion to “Alice In Wonderland” instantly his brow clouded—there camo a sudden reserve of manner, a silent, dignified “Spare me!” that changed the conversation like magic. We realized that we were speaking to the Rev. Charles L. Dodgsofi of Oxford uni versity, England, and not to Lewis Car roll, author of “Alice’s Adventures” and “ Through tho Looking Glass. ” Yes, it was the great thinker —the scholar and mathe matician —whom we were visiting and who when our pleasant call was over solemnly bode us goodby. And there was no thought of the-March Hare or of Fa ther William in our minds as we wont softly down the dark stairway, out into the sunlight of the grand old quadrangle of Christ Church college. And yet, do you know, we felt inwardly sure that in some brisk jabberwocky way Mr. Dodgson secretly loved little Alice and her adventures and at heart was not sor ry, after all, that he had written them. Besides the editorial the following poem, by Abbie Farwell Brown, is printed, dedi cated to Lewis Carroll: This was that brave adventurer Upon an unknown sea, Who found the far, fair Wonderland— Bis galleon by an eager band Os little children featly manned, All laughing out in glee. Far, far away his vessel sailed, Throughout a single night, Until it reached that magic shore No man had ever seen before— Tho children's land for evermore He gave them as their right. And since that voyage venturesome On every night and day That pilot with a shipful new Os happy ohildren for his crew— Os grown up folk a favored few— Has sailed the Wonderway. And if upon tomorrow's ship No pilot should appear, So many children everywhere Have learned from him the thoroughfare To Wonderland, they still will dare To sail without a fear. But, oh, their little hearts will ache, And, oh, their eyes will dim, And, as the ship sails mile by mile Each child will sit a little while And, thinking, will forget to smile— For sailing without him. The Original Navel Orange Tree. Over in the orangery at the agricultural department Is the parent tree of all the navel oranges in tho United States. Every orchard of navel oranges in Florida, Lou isiana, Colorado, Arizona and California camo from it. And the shipments of this kind of fruit from California alone have reached 10,000 carloads a year. This par ticular tree, which is still bearing, came from Bahia, Brazil, bpt is said to be a native of southern China. William Saun ders, the horticulturist of the department, having heard that they had a seedless orange lai Brazil, sent down for a plant When it came it was carefully nurtured and grew with surprising vigor. The sec ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his way to the agricultural department one morning ho picked up in the gutter back of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed oranges. , Ho carried them to his room, extracted the seeds and planted them in the hothouse. They produced a bunch of thrifty little plants, upon which ho graft ed buds from the Brazilian tree and after ward sent them to friends in California and Florida who were engaged in the orange business. Mr. Saunders thinks that tho quality of the navel orange is de teriorating and that there are better grades of fruit.—Chicago Record. Connecticut Newspapers. Ono Connecticut newspaper man has a way of speaking the names of papers in an abbreviated style—the Meriden Rep and the Middletown Trib, for instance. Fol lowed out, this would lead to some amus ing abbreviations. There would be the Norwich Bull and the Norwich Wreck, the New Haven Pal, the Waterbury Am, the New Haven Jeer and Coo, the New Britain Her, the Bridgeport Tell, the Hartford Coor and the Ansonia Scent. Happily The Day is exempt.—New Londay Day. Quito Just.
