Stone blind since she waa six weeks old. Miss Croeby's attainment would be remarkable even in a seeing woman. For 60 years she has been busy writing the hymns and gospel songs which have enjoyed a monopoly in the song services of several generations of churchgoers. Miss Crosby has written other songs that have been quite as popular as her hymns. Fifty years ago her popular melodies were whistled all over country. "Proud World, Good-by, I'm Going Home.” "Hazel Dell" and “Never Forget the Dear Ones" where tremendous favorites when our fathers and mothers were going to singing schooL “The Honeysuckle Glen” followed and brought its author nearly |2,000 in royalties, and then came that phenomenal success ' Rosalie, the Prairie Flower.'*

A LESSON IN CHARITY EMPHASIZED Prom the Catholic Standard and Times. Bpeaking at a meeting held e few daj ego In Woohitigtoo, under the aospiees of the Young Men'* Christian Association. Praaldeqt Roosevelt, when Introducing Rev. Charles Wegner, tbe author of ’111* Simple Ufa," said: As an example of what can be done, apd should be done, by tne Individual citizen. 1 shall mention something that recently oe enrred In this dty of Washington—a tjilng that doubtlees many of you know ab but which waa unknown to me until ©ently. A fqw week* ego. when I was walking heck from rbnrch one Sunday, 1 noticed a great fir*, and found that it was Downey's livery stable—yon recollect It three or four week* ago. when the livery stable burned. Through a train of cl re urn oea that 1 need not mention, my attention was particularly called to the ease, and I looked into It- 1 had long iu^wn of the very admirable work done with singular modesty and self-effacement by M r. Downey In trying to give homes to the homeless and to be himself a friend of tboee In a peculiar sense friendless In tbli community, and I now l-y aocidmt found out what h»d happened In eonnrctlnn wi t this particular incident. It appears th«l laat spring Mr. Downey started to build e new livery sAble; bis etable la next door e colored Baptist church. Mr. Downey is a white man and a Catholic, and these neighbors of Lis are colored men and Baptists, and tbelr kinship was simply tbe ktnship of that broad humanity that should underlie all our fcelinga toward one another. Mr. Downey started to build his stable, and naturally wanted to bars It as big a stable as possible and build ft right up tbe limits gf his land. That brought tbe wall dose up against tbe back of that colored Baptist church, cutting out tbe light and air. The preacher called upon him and told him that they would like to purchase a atrip six feet broad of tbe ground of Mr. Downer, upon which be was intending to build.*as It would be a great inconvenience to them to loee tbe light and air: that they were aware that It was asking a good deal of him to cramp the building out of which he intended to make ttls livelihood, but that they hoped he would do It beoaus their need. After a good deal of thought Mr. Downey came to the conclusion that be ought to grant the request, and so be notified them that he would change plans, make a somewhat smaller building and sell them tbe six feet of land in atrio adjoining tbelr cbnrch. Afteralittle while the preacher came aronnd with tbe trustees of his church and said that they very much appreciated Mr. Dowrey's courtesy, sod were sorry they had bothered him as they had, beouse, on looking into tbe affairs of tbe church they found that, as they were already In debt, they did not feel warranted In incurring any further financial obligations, and so they had to withdraw their request. They thanked him for his kindly purpose and said good-bye. But Mr. Downey found be could not go to sleep Ahat night ur til finally he made up Els mind that aa they could net buy it he would give It to them anyway. which he did. But. unfortunately, we know that tbe TV>wer of Slloatu often falls upon tbe just and nnjuzt alike, and Mr. Downey's llrery stable caught fire and burned down. It waa Sunday mon and tbe Baptist church was in session door to him. and tbe clergyman stopped and said: “Now you women stay here and pray, an-l yon men go straight ont and help onr benefactor, Mr. Downey.” And go out they did and got bis horaw> all out, so that none of them was burned, although be suffered otherwise a total loss. Now, cell that a practical application of Mr. Wagner’s teachings. Here in Washington we have a right to be proud of a citizen like Mr. Downey, and If only we can develop enough such citizens we shall turn ont just the kind of oo mm unity that doee not need to but will always be glad to study “Tbe Simple Life," the author of which I now introduce to you. Mr. Downey is a summer resident of Cape May.
