4 ’The off horse has lost a shoe from
the right fore foot, ’ ’ said the coachman,
as he drew up opposite a wayside black
smith shop. “Shall I stop and have it
replaced?"
“By all meant," replied the owner
of the curricle, Senator Aaron Burr of
New York, “it -is always the proper
thing to keep your horses well shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of a
chance to stretch my legs after so long
a drive. While the smith it busy I will
stroll to the top of on® of these beauti
ful Ulster county hills."
When he returned half an hour later,
he happened to glance at the side of a
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of his curricle
and'hbreas.
“Who drew thutt" he inquired.
“That little frenzy head yonder,"
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
boy in homespun who was chopping
wood in the dooryard opposite as if bis
whole mind was occupied with his task.
“HaHoo, my lad," called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air of one who has been caught in
some misdemeanor headded pleasantly,
“If ever] ou wSnt to change your occu
pation and see life, just put a clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this ad
dress in New York," and he crossed
i the road to hand the boy a slip of paper.
The team was soon .on its horteward
way, and in a short time the incident
passed from the Crowded mind of Aaron
Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, a servant brought him a pack
age containing a homemade clean shirt
and said that a boy at the door had
asked her to .deliver it as an all suffi
cient introduction. But "the senator
could not understand itasigniiicance, so
he sent sot the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
rbddsidte
With all his faults, Burr was a gen
erous man at heart, and he spared
neither pains nor expense to give the
youth' the best of instruction in his
chosen profession. From an artistic
point of view’the student became very,
successful ag the great painter Vander
lyn, although he lived a life of poverty.
He painted the portraits of Aaron
Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from
Which were taken the fine engravings
by which we know them. He died near
the spot where he drew the picture of
the waiting team. His career is a noble
monument to the better side of the na
ture of his benefactor, a nature not
wholly devoid of sweetness and light,
although darkened by frequent clouds
through his mature life and finally
eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely
selfislMimbition. —Atlanta Constitution.
GOLFING PHILOLOGY.
Derivation of Curloua Terms Which Be
long to the Oome.
To the enthusiastic golfer the game is
never out of season. Fitted with “arc
tic" goloshes and a warm knitted
waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on
many a day which appears inclement to
the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard
of snow and ice is natural when one
comes to look up the derivation of golf
ing terms. Many of the words come di
rectly from the Icelandic* languages,
others have synonyms in Gaelic or
Swedish. /
The tee, or little nodule of gravel or
earth from which the golfer strikes off
his ball, at the beginning of each link,
is derived from “tia," an Icelandic verb
signifying “to point out." '
Again, “golf" itself evidently comes
from the Scandinavian “kolf," a club,
the Gaelic form being “colb" and the
Icelandic form being “kolfr" (a clapper
of a bell or bulb).
The “links" come straight from the
Swedish “lynka," meaning a “twist”
or “crook;" hence its application to the
windings of the coast, the sandy, barren
ground called “links" in Scotland.
To "put” (pronounced “putt") comes
from the;Gaelic “put,” signifying to
push or throw, as when the useful “put
ter” propels the golf ball from the
“putting green” into the hole.
The “lofter" is derived from the Ice
landic “loft”—that is, shy or air—a
Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or
loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
One Veteran Without a Pension.
I sat on a hill with a sergeant who
knew history and horses. He remem
bered Pansy, which had served 16 years
in the troop and a first rate ol,d horse
then, but a d——d inspector with no
soul came browsing around one day and
condemned that old horse. Government
gat a measly |lo—or something like
that. Tbl» »n along fe» a time, when
<Mie day they ware trooping up some
lonely vality, and, behold, there stood
Pdrisy,-as thin as a snake, tied by a
wickieup. He greeted the troop with
joyful neighs. The soldiers asked the
captain to be allowed to shoot him, but
of course he said no. I could Dot learn
if he winked when be said it The col
umn wound over the hill, a carbine
rang from its rear, and Pansy lay doWn
in the dust without a kick. Death is
better than Indian for a horse. The
thing was not noticed at the time,
but made a world of fuss afterward,
though how ft all came out the sergeant
did not develop, nor was it necessary.—

LEWIS CARROLL;
two Wiitaly Different PcrMraalith* Wwp
pett ©p In Dm Mmu
In St. Nicholas there are two tributes to
the kite Bev. Charles Lutwidgo Dodgson,
dear to a generation ot young readers ae
Lewis Carroll, author of “Alice In Wod
derland.” An editorial note says: .
Surely two names represent two very
different men—one an English clergyman
and for 26 years lecturer on mathematics
at Christ Church college, Oxford, author
of many volumes on his special subject,
honored by his fellows, and peer of Eng
land’s distinguished men of learning; the
other the merriest, quaintest of story tell- ,
era, whose name la known everywhere by
thousands of English speaking readers,
young and old.
Dear Lewis Carroll, bright, delightful,
preposterous, gifted with a wonderful
imagination, yet so modest and shy that
he told almost in a whisper the story of
“Alice In Wonderland” that made all
England shake with laughter. “Through
the Looking Glass’’ was issued, one may
say, as a profound public secret, and he
sent bashfully, secretly, into the world
“The Hunting of the Snark,” one of the
jolllest, most audacious little books ever
written. To the very last their author
shrank from any mentionof these delight
ful works as though they were an offense
to his other self—that profound, serious
scholar whose discourses, lectures and be
wildering mathematical problems would
have sent Lewis Carroll scampering into
the first hiding place iu 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 wo entered the
room wo could see at first only the heavy
tatde, with piles of pamphlets and great
leather volumes upon it, and around it
books, books and more books— iionderous
and worm eaten (wo felt sure they were
worm eaten). Thon a slight but stately*
figure rose from somewhere in the shadow
-behind an open volume. With a.nervous
little cough he came forward, bowing so
stiffly and with so slight a show of sur
prised delight at our coming that for an
instant we felt awed and subdued. Next
we realized that he was bashful, actually
timid! But, later, bis -gentle voice, his
grave, kindly eyes and his 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
“AMce In Wonderland” instantly his brow
clouded—there camo a sudden reserve of
manner, a silent, dignified “Spare me!”
that changed the conversation like magic.
Wo realized that We were speaking to the
Rev. Charles L. Dodgson of Oxford uni
versity, England, and not to Lewis Car
roll, author of “Alice’s Adventures” and
“ Through the Looking Glass. ” Yes, it was
the great thinker—the scholar and mathe
matician—whom wo were visiting and
who when our pleasant cajl was over
solemnly bade us good by. And there was
no thought of the March Hare or of Fa
ther William in our minds as we weht
softly down the dark stairway, out into the
sunlight of the grand old quadrangle of
Christ Church college.
And yet, do you know, wo 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: r
This was that bravo adventurer
Upon an unknown sea,
Who found the far, fair
His galleon by an eager band
Os little children featly manned,
AU laughing out in glee.
Far, far away his vessel sailed.
Throughout a single night,
Until it reached that magic shore
No man had over seen before—
The 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 children for his crew—
Os grown up folk a favored few—
Has sailed the Wonderway.
And if upon tomorrow’s ship
No pilot should appear,
6o many children everywhere
Have'learncd from him the thoroughfare
To Wonderland, they still will dare 2
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, wiU 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
naval oranges in the United States. Every
orchard of navel oranges in Florida, Lou
isiana, Colorado, Arizona and California
came from it. And the shipments of thia
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, but 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 in 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 he picked up in the gutter back
of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana
avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed
oranges. He carried them ”to his room,
extracted the seeds and planted them in
the hothouse. They produced a bunch of
thrifty little plants, upon which he 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 the quality of the navel orange is de
teriorating and that thepe are better grades
of fruit.—Chicago Record.

“Old False Teeth Bought.” *
This is the sign which attracts the
attention of visitors to the office of a
certain dealer in dental and optical top
plies who does business in Chicago. ■ '
“It’s queer how people are attracted
by that sign," said the ownef of the
establishment. “I neviar intended it to
be prominent, because .there are other’
lines in my business I am more interest
ed in pushing, but it seems to fairly
force itself into the minds of everybody
who comes here, no matter what his
mission may be, and ‘old false teeth
bought* is the only thing they can think
or talk about.
'“There’s nothing nudctdcuA in deal
ing in secondhand false tefeth, although
I will admit the sign is an unusual one.
It is a legitimate branch of our trade.
With ordinary usage false teeth don’t
wear out and are just as good at the end
of a few years as they were when new.
The teeth themselves are valuable, and
the gold work used in binding even the
commonplace kind together is oostly.
People are forever getting new ideas
about their teeth and keep the dentists
busy changing or building over their
artificial molars. Then, you remember
that a whole lot of people who wear
false teeth are dying everysggy. '
■ ‘Ten years ago there was no way of
utilizing this old material. It was all
dead waste, so to speak. But now it is
different, and people are more econom
ical. False teeth, especially if -heavily
set with gold plates, are worth too much
money to be oast aside when new ones
are ordered or to be buried in a grave.
Thus it comes that a trade of consider
able proportions has sprung up in this
line, and oldjalse teeth are a staple in
this market”
“Who brings them here to sell and
what class of customers buy them?\ „
“Small dentists who are hard up
financially and lack the inclination or
facilities to clean up ant build over the
discarded sets, which they are sharp
enough to retain from their patrons, are
the main source of supply. Sometimes
they male their pa'trons a little allow
ance for the old sets of teeth, but they
get out of this whenever possible on the
plea that they are worthless. Then we
poor folk who cannot afford to
wear false teeth any longer come in
here occasionally and offer them for
sale. Undertakers? Well, that is a fea
ture of the trade I don’t care to talk
about. I might be misunderstood, and
some people are so squeamish, you
know.
“Why, one woman came in here yes
terday to bny an opera glass; She look
ed like a good customer and was inspect
ing soine high priced glasses when I
stopped to wait upon a man who fre
quently brings in some fine teeth. She
saw me take a set from him and pay
for them, and then, noticing probably
his somber clothes and an end of black
crape sticking out of one of his side
pockets, -she flounced away in a fury
without a word of explanation. It is
hard to please everybody, and as times
are hard I have to be very careful."
“But what about your sales? Who
takes these old grinders and incisors
from you?”
a class of. men who
make a business of working over the
sets. When the outfit is in reasonably
good shape, it is given a thorough
.cleansing, brightened up, and then re
sold to dentists who have a cheap pat
ronage. A little tinkering will make
them fit after a fashion in the mouths
of people who want to make a show of
false teeth at small cost. Where the sets
are not good enough to be used entire'
they are broken up, the gold either
melted down or Bavefl.ta.ho remodeled,
and the teeth themselves remounted as
they are needed for patients. It’s a good
thing for poor people, for many of them
are thus enabled to get passably fair
false teeth at a nominal price, when
otherwise they would have to go with
out, owjpg to the great expense. Excuse
me while I wait upon this woman. ”
When The Inter Ocean man left the
establishment; the merchant was dick
ering with an ample proportioned Af
rican “aunty” for a double set of teeth
with heavy gold plates, which she said
she had found in a hotel where she
worked as chambermaid.
“Der genman* don’ go to ’at ’ors
