Suppose your name to be Richard Roe.
Suppose you were required to legally
identify yourself as Richard Roe, how
would you go nt it? You would of course
bring forward people who had known
you for years, the record of your birth,
the statements of parents or relatives. It
looks as if it would be a very easy thing
for any man to satisfy the law that he is
himself. But it isn’t. If the law de
manded full proofs of identification, not
moie than one man out of five could fur-
nisk them. Take any 10 of the most
prominent men in the United States to-

day, and it would be the work of weeks
and weeks for them to furnish indispu
table proofs that they had a legal right to
the names that they bear. There was a
story m the papers a few months ago re
lating the difficulties of an heir to some
property in Cincinnati. He was 28 years
old, had been known to a score of people
since his childhood, and yet it took him
over two years to prove that he was the
person he claimed to be.
One day nearly a quarter of a century
ago 1 awoke from a troubled sleep to find
myself in a hospital ward in Philadel
phia. The nurse explained that I had
been there two weeks. The police had
found me on the street at midnight un
conscious and evidently the victim of a
robbery. I had been struck on the head
with a sandbag. During the first two
days I had been like one dead. During
the next five or six I babbled as crazy
people often do. I had at length come
to myself. My head was as clear as a
bell, and I realized the situation in all its
details. It was 1 o’clock in the afternoon
when the nurse came over to me and
talked for about five minutes. It was 3
o’clock when the doctor and a detective
came. During the interval I had slum
bered again. The dector expressed his
satisfaction that I had pulled through all
right and added that the police had two
men in custody who were suspected of
being my assailants. The detective had
come to make some inquiries. The man
took out notebook and pencil and began:
“Y r our name, please.
I opened my lips to pronounce it, but
spoke no -word. My name had gone from
me. I must have one, -of course, but
what was it? The officer was waiting to
write it down, but I could not give it to
him.
“It’ll come to you in a minute,” he
said after a queer look at the doctor.
“Where do you live when at home?”
“At—at— Why, at”
Where did 1 live? The name of the
place was on my tonguo when he asked,
but it suddenly went out of my mind,
nor could I recall it*to save my life.
“I took you for a stranger,” said the
officer, “but perhaps yon a ram resident
of the city. Can you tell? This is Phil
adelphia, you know.”
“Philadelphia! Philadelphia!” I re
peated. “I never heard of the place be
fore. Is it a city or village?”
“A large city.”
“I may have lived here, but I can’t
say.”
‘ ‘Do you remember of having any trou-
bie with anybody?”
“No.”
“What is the last you can remember?”
1 closed my eyes and groped for the
past. I could go no further back than 1
o’clock of that afternoon. When I told
hin. this, the look that passed between
the two men frightened me. They saw
it in my face, and the doctor kindly said:
“There, boy, never mind. Yon are all
righ;. In a day or two everything will
be clear to you.”
When they had gone away, a great
fear f ell upon me. Who was I? Where
did I live? Where were my parents and
relatives? The doctor had said “boy” in
speaking to me. Was la boy or an old
; man? .1 dared not repeat the questions
! to myself. I determined not to think
! of the matter, and after a little I put
j it away and was soon at ease. There
was a general strangeness about the
Ireom, of course, but all objects were
(perfectly familiar to me. There were
six other patients, and their conversa
tion was intelligible. I don’t remember
that anything was talked the next three
days that worried me to understand.
Then the detective came again. I could
remember no more than before. Name,
Zge, home—everything previous to the
blow had gone from my memory. I was
sitting up in bed, and he drew a>e to the
window and said:
“Does the street look strange or fa
miliar to you?”
“I—I can’t say.”
“Do the carriages, cars and pedestrians
interest you? Do you find anything novel
in the sight.”
“I like to look.”
He had hunted through my clothing to
find some clew, but nothing was secured.
He said it appeared to him as if the gar
ments had been made by a village tailor.
My socks he was sure were home knit,
while my shoes were custom made. He
overhauled my body for scars or marks,
but none was to be found. In fear and
trembling I asked him my age, and his
answer rolled a great burden off my
mind.
“Well, the doctor and I are agreed
that you are about 17 years old,” he re
plied. “You are a str? g, healthy boy,
and after you get out of here I think ev
erything will come back to you. Don’t
worry about it, however. I am sure I
have got the two men who robbed you,
but of course they will be set at liberty.
As near as I can figure they took $1-1
from you. I will come again in a feu
days, and perhaps next time you can tell
me all about it.”
The newspapers got held of the case
and published full details, but no one
came in search ola miseing bpv, .When
I was able to ri’e' otTi, ’1 was taken
around the city, but nothing was cither
strange or familiar. One day the doctor
pronounced 150 different names in hopes
he might strike my family name, but if
it was among them I did not remember
it. He went through the list of given
names, but all were strange to me.
Among the callers at the hospital to
see me was a wealthy old man, who had
become interested in the case from a
scientific standpoint. When ready to
leave the hospital, he offered me a tem
porary home, and I accepted. He had a
fine home on the Germantown road, and
I was received into the family. He gave
me a name, and after I had been called
by it five or six times it was as familiar
as if I had always borne it. From the
very first day he began making experi
ments and tests. When I saw a harn in
the house, it was an object of curiosity.
It was the same with a music box and
many other things. It was argued from
this that I had been brought up in some
small village. In some things I was like
a child; in others, as far advanced as the
averagt boy. For instance, they had to
explain the workings of a lawn mower
to me. I could not understand about
the gas and fixtures. I had never seen a
frescoed ceiling. Speaking tubes and
ilectric bells were novelties. On the
ither hand, I proved that I had a good
common school education. I could re
late the history of the country as I must
have learned it from a book, and I could
name all the presidents up to the one
then in power, but the minute they asked
me a question i - elating to anything back
of the day I woke up in the hospital I
was utterly befogged.
My good friend published advertise
ments in 50 different newspapers, but the
results were disappointing. He received
hundreds of letters, and first and last at
least 100 people came to see me. Some
came from idle curiosity, while others
wei’e in search of lost boys and hoped to
identify me. As a matter of fact, I was
identified eight or ten times, but there
was always a screw loose somewhere.
They would refer to some particular
mark or scar and then fail to find it.
Among those who came was a woman
who kept a highway tavern a few miles
south of Lancaster. I felt sure I hau
seen her face before, but could not re
member when or where. Her voice gave
me a thrill, and for a minute it seemed
as if memory was coining back. This
woman said I had come along the high
way from Harrisburg and stopped at liei-
inn over night. I was on foot and had
my clothing in a satchel. She had sus
pected me of being a runaway and had
asked many questions. I had told her
that I was going to Philadelphia, but had
not told her where I came from. She
kept a register, but for some reason I had
not put down my name. She thought I
must have been walking for several days,
as my feet were blistei-ed, and she gave
me some salve to use. She said I talked
a great deal about ships, leading her to
believe I intended to go to sea. I have
always felt sure this woman properly
identified me, but her story only proved
the theory of the police—that I was a
stranger in Philadelphia.
“WHY, MANNER, WE REMEMBER.”
At the end of 18 months my guardian
died. When I tell you I had been quite
content with the situation, you will think
it curious. I could get up no interest in
the past. In one sense there was no past.
When they told me the year was 1SG8, I
took it as a starting point. When they
said I had parents and friends and home
somewhere, it was like talking of some
thing that had happened thousands of
miles away. By the advice of friends 1
set out to establish my identity. I can’t
say that I felt much interest in the mat
ter. I had a name. Why search for an
other? I purchased a horse and took the
highway for Lancaster. The road was
totally strange to me. When I reached
the inn kept by the woman, there was a
dim feeling that I had seen the place be
fore. Her looks and words called up a
something, but I could not work it out.
She was very anxious to aid me, and aft
er a little talk she said:
“You had a room on the second floor.
See if yoxx cannot go up and identify it.”
I walked up stairs, turned to the left,
walked down the hall four doors and en
tered at the fifth. The room did not look
familiar, but she declared it was the one
I occupied that night. She then asked
me to enter the dining room and seo if 1
could recall my place at the table. I had
occupied the same place at supper and
breakfast. I went straight to the foot of
the long table, and she said I was right.
Taking the inn as a point of departure,
so to speak, I went on to Lancaster and
Harrisburg, i calculated tnat l must
have walked from 25 to 30 miles that
day. Just out of Harrisburg I found
where a boy had put up one night about
20 months before. They remembered the
incident for several reasons. Before go
ing to bed he told about seeing a dead
horse on the highway. Tho horso be
longed to the landlord. A drunken man
set the hotel barn on fire, and the boy
was the first to see it. They had heard
of the boy in Philadelphia and believed
him to be tho same, but had never writ
ten. I had grown older and stouter, and
they could not identify me, but I have
no doubt that I stopped there. I had
nrobablv come through Harrisburg, but
from what direction? "I rode north, east
and west for a distance of 50 miles and
return. Thirty miles up the river I stop
ped at a farmhouse over night. As soon
as I told my story the farmer laughed
and exclaimed to his wife:
“Why, Hanner, we remember that boy
as plain as day! He stopped here for
dinner, and our dog drove him up a clier-
ry tree in tho yard, and he hollered liken
good fellei - . Yes, we thought he was a
runaway, but we didn’t ask no questions
about it.”
I had come from tho north then, but I
followed the road clear to Williamsport
and failfed to strike another clew. I
might have come down the Susauehanaa
a long distance by boat or raft or have
come into the river road from some of
the lateral highways. I continxxed tho
search for a year. In that time I rode
several thousand miles on horseback in
northern Pennsylvania and New York.
I had the help of at least 100 newspapers,
and peddlers and agents traveling over
tho country distributed my circulars,
but nothing came of it. Plenty of tlxe-
oi-ies were advanced, but they were only
theories. Some folks contended that my
people lived on a farm up in the xnoixn-
tains of Pennsylvania and did not read
tho papers, but all farming implements
were new and strange to me. Some said
I ran away from home and others that I
had my parents’ consent to go. Some
contended that my parents had been
killed by accident or taken away by
death and others that they were glad to
get rid of me. Perhaps the chief of po
lice of Philadelphia was nearer right
than any of them when he said:
“I think there’s property back of it
somewhere. I think you were an orphan
with a guardian, and perhaps he put you
up to leave home for his benefit. If you
had pai'ent3 or brothers or sisters, they
would have been heard from ere this.”
I gave up all hope years ago. I am
myself, and yet I am some one else. I
am two beings, with two names and two
identities. In a legal sense I am nobod}'.
I could not prove that the boy who
started for Philadelphia from somewhere
ever had an existence.
What Was the “Secret of Jesus?”
There are several passages in the
Scriptures.which convey the idea that
some great secret—the details of some
monstrous mystery—was communicated
to the apostles by Jesus during the time
that he was associated with them in the
flesh. All the early “Christian fathers,”
and a great many modern divines of
high standing believe that the “secret”
was made known to the apostles, with
the understanding that it was to be
handed down to the heads of the church
until the end of time. What this great
secret is concerning or why it should be
made known only to a select few is of
course as great a mystery as its sup
posed existence. In Mark we get a hint
—a mere casual allusion—to the exist
ence of something of the kind. See chap
ter iv, verse 2, “And he said unto them,
Unto yoxx it is given to know themystei-y
of the kingdom of God, but to them that
are without, all these things are done in
parables.” Again, in Ephesians iii, 3,
Paixl says, “He made known to me the
mystery.”
Clement of Alexandria, one of the
“fathers,” in his great work “Stroma
ta,” says, “The Lord commanded in a
certain gospel, My secret is for me and
the children of my hoxxse.” In the gos
pel to the Ebionites it is recorded in this
manner, “Keep my mysteries for me and
the sons of my house.”
Many early writers believe that this
“secret of secrets” has been preserved,
engraved upon stone or written upon
some lasting fabric, and that it is now
in the “Ark of the Covenant,” and that
the whereabouts of that vessel or recep
tacle is known to a chosen few.—St.

“It’s wonderful how much the South
Sea islands get out of tho ordinary co-
coanut,” says Humphi-ey Kyber. “They
make that tree furnish most everything
they want on earth. Its wood furnishes
them with beams, rafters and planks
out of which they build their houses.
Its leaves, tho cocoanut palm, are used
for umbrellas, clothing, etc., and they
thatch their huts with them also, so that
they take the place of shingles. Its fruit
is used as food, and from it they get oil.
an intoxicating drink and a kind of
sugar. Cocoanut shells ax-e xxsed by the
islanders as domestic utensils. They
make bowls, cups, pans and everything
else that can come xxnder the list of do
mestic xxtensils. From its fibers they
make i-opes, sails and matting, and in
addition a cocoanut grove makes a de-
liglitfxxl garden with plenty of shade
and a constant delightful odor. In fact,
the cocoanut tree is the most valuable-
plant in the world today. It seems to
be all utility.”—Philadelphia Press.
An Antiquated Spoon.
The spoon pi-esented to Baby Ruth
Cleveland, made by the jeweler grand
father, has, besides the Donnaud spoon
of 1794, another rival in antiquity in this
city. This spoon was presented by Dr.
John M. Daniel of Virginia to his grand
son, little John Moncui-e Daniel, 'first
born of Seldon Brooke Daniel and Eliza
Biirr Todd, daughter of ex-Justice Todd.
It was saved from the fire that destroyed
“Crows’ Nest,” once the magnificent res
idence of Raleigh Travers, son of the
Earl of Travers and nephew of Sir Wal
ter Raleigh. “Crows’Nest” was sitxxated
on the Potomac river and was one of the
most famous estates of the Old Do
minion and descended by inheritance to
Sai-ah Travers, the daughter of Raleigh
Travers, who.afterwards max-ried Peter
Daniel, the ancestor of the late Judge
Daniel of the supreme court of the
United States, and also of John W.
Daniel, the present United States senator
of Vix-ginia. On this spoon are engraved
the letters “P. D. S.” (Peter and Sarah
Daniel), and the date “1734.”—New Or

<7, -j, good lamp
must bo simple; whe’- simple it is
1 not good. ..Scauiiful, Goon'—these
words mean much, oat to see “ 1 he Rochester ”
will impress the truth more forcibly. AI’. metal,
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,
it is obsohttdy safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
of old, it is indeed a “wonderful lamp,” for its mar
velous light is purer and brig iter than gas light,
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this stamp—Thk Rocttkstkk. Tf the iair.p dealer has n’t the gennino
