FAR AWAY.
Far away.
As we hear
The songs of wild swans winging
Through the day.
The thought of him who is no more comes
ringing
On my ear.
Gentle fear
On the breast
or my memory comes breaking,
Near and near,
As night wlnds‘ murmurous music waking '
Seas at rest.
As the blest
'Pearful eye
Sees the sun, behind the ocean,
Red i’ th’ west.
Grow pale, and in changing hues and fading
motion
Wane and die!
So do I
‘ Wake or dream.

AN EIOITING ESCAPE.
Everybody has “experiences” more or
less interesting. Iliad one in Cincinnati
in the winter of 1878, which was somewhat
out of the usual order, and which will bear
telling. I had gone there from Michigan
with commendatory letters, which intro-
duced me to prominent steamboat owners,
who were operating floating property on
the Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee rivers.
With one of these men I entered into a
contract, by which I 'was to have a finan-
cial interest in a steamboat then building,
and take the responsible position aboard of
her as chief clerk.
These southern steamboats——be it said to
those who are familiar with steamboating
on the great lakes—carry three and some—
times four clerks, and the position of chief
clerk is that of cashier. In this position
he has to handle large sums of money, as
the boats in some trades advance consid-
erable amounts of cash in the shape of
“charges” on consignments of southern
produce—cottou, peanuts, tobacco, etc. I
mention these things to show that the po-
sition I was to assume was one in which a
dishonest man could misappropriate or
embezzle large sums of money, and that I,
' the building in which we were. was asort

l
being a stranger, was being taken largely
upon trust. _.
I boarded at one of the downtown hotels
then, and while waiting for the boat to be :1
finished and go into commission had very
little to do, especially in the evening. One
evening I was sauntering along Fifth
street in company with the landlord of the
hotel and two Front street commission :
merchants. When near the corner of Race
street some one proposed going up a. flight
of stairs and trying our luck at “keno,”
explaining that a nice quiet ten cent game ,
was going on there. “Keno” was certainly ;
harmless, so up we went.
Part way up ;
the stairs we found a closed door obstruct- ‘
ing our passage; but a word from our con— 5
ductor, whispered through the wicket ‘,
which opened at his rap, secured our en- :
trance.
\Ve entered a large room filled with ta-
bles, at which sat perhaps 150 people, all
intent on the cards in front of them, placing
the bits of glass thereon as the caller twirled
the goose and announced the numbers
drawn. I did not know then, but learned
afterward, that this was one of the largest
gambling houses in Cincinnati, and that ,
on the floor above roared and clawed the
unchained tiger, and other animals equally
voracious. familiar to those who woo Dame
Fortune for high favors. But the placing
of bits of glass on green and white squares
of pesteboard fiOr an investment of ten
cents, with a chance to win $15 or $20,
seemed perfectly innocent and harmless.
So, though it was my first experience, I had
no hesitation in sitting down with. my com-
panions at an unoccupied table and taking
a. hand in the game.
We had only played two or three'Cards——
during which time. by the way, none of
our party “kenoed”——when there was a,
great racket on the stairway, and a picket
came rushing into the room with the warn-
In :2 cry of
“Police! We’re going to be pulled!”
\Vell, if there ever was a scattering, a
grand transformation scene, it was then
and there. It was sauve qui peut! Every-
body went helter skelter, leaving cards,
money and everything else on the tables,
and, in fact, climbing over. tables, over»
turning them and making a headlong
push for the upper stairway.
The man who had been twirling the
“goose” dismounted it, and hustled it into
a. large trunk handy by. The man who
was manipulating the tally board did like-
wise. Then these two worthies joined the
procession upper stairward. Meantime the
battering at the stout doorin the lower
stairway continued. I had joined the
throng going upward, thinking, Of course,
that as the proprietors of the gambling
house were sensible people, and as these
raids must be common things, the proprie-
tors aforesaid had suitable exits provided
for their patrons, and that we were even
now on our way toward one of them.
Finally, after going up two flights Of
stairs in the darkness—for the lights had
been extinguished very soon after the alarm
—the crowd came to a standstill. Those
behind urged those in advance to go on.
But they replied that they couldn’t; they
had come to the end. I squeezed along
into the crowd nut-ll I was among those in
advance. Some one struck a match to see
where we were. It was a cul de sac, a blind
passage. It was indeed the end. We had
gone up to the roof story. There might
have been a back entrance from the lower
or second stories of which we could have
availed ourselves had we known enough
about the locality. But those stories were
now in the possession Of- the police anl
they would soon be here, when we would
be captured like rats in a trap.
Then, for the. first time, dawned upon me
the extremely awkward not to say desper-
ate position in which I was placed. I
knew that this was absolutely my first
visit to a gambling house; that I had been
engaged in a (comparatively) harmless
little game of keno at ten cents a card, at
which I couldn’t lose more than $1.50 if I
played all the evening, which I did not in-
tend to do. Then I thought of being taken
to the police station; of perhaps having to
stay there all night. Of having my new
friends and business associates—for whom
I was soon to occupy a position Of so much
financial trust and confidence—of having
them read my name in the morning Eu—
quirer in the list of those arrested in a no-
torious gambling house raided by the po—
lice last night.
I thought of their surprise, and imag-
ined their remarks to the effect that they
couldn’t put a young man who was evi-
dently a confirmed gambler inrcharge of
such important interests as they proposed.
It was a good thing they had found me out
before the thing had gone too far, andI
had fleeced them out of thousands of dol-
lurs.
Horrible! I must get out some way.
There was a'window near where I stood. I
opened the lower sash and found that it
looked out on a square courtyard. By the

chance of escape?

like "a. shot out Of a gun,” landing fairly

could see on .the door or ground of the
court'broken crockery and other things ex-
tremely uninviting to fall upon. NO,‘it
was out of the question to try adrop of
four stories, even if it had been on a soft
bottom. It was sure death torti‘y it. But
to be captured! Disgrace and ruin! Ter-
rible alternative! "Was there no- other
Looking upward [saw that the part of
of connecting link—though it had no open-
ing-é-hetween the building facing Fifth
street and that facing the alley between i
Fourth and Fifth. It was not quite so
high as either, and the window reached
nearly up to the roof. Here at last was a
chance. To climb out of the window on to
the roof. NO sure thing, to be sure. There
was nothing to get hold of on the roof to
pull myself up with. It was not a steep
roof, but it was not a flat one; and the
slope was toward me. There was actually
no way to hang on exec at by the friction
of hands. arms and bony on the sloping
roof. It was taking long chances on slip-
ping, dropping down into the court below
and being picked up a shapeless and man-
gled corpse. But then if I wanted to get
out I must take some chances. If I wait-
ed much longer the police would be there.
So I pulled down the top part of the win-
dow and worked myself out until I sat on
the sash with my legs dangling inside.
Sitting this way I could just get hold of the
edge of. the roof with my hands. It felt like
a dreadfully inSecure hold. \Vith the aid of
those inside pushing up on my feet (they
had endeavored to dissuade me from the
rash attempt), I managed to wriggla. my
hands and arms along on the roof until 1
half of my body on the roof. Oh! how ]
did squeeze‘i‘uysclf to that roof. I sung out
to them down below to push up on the sash
a little.
They were all interested now, and had
evidently almost forgotten about the '
police. ‘ ‘
To see a man killed is not such an every-
day occurrence. They pushed up the sash
a little, and that shoved me a little farther
up on the roof. A little more and I could
get one of my knees on ' it. But that little -
more! The sash was getting so high up
that it was too far directly under the eaves
to do me any good. So I took my feet of!
and kicked out in mid airlike one swim-
ming, That kick sent me a little farther
along on the roof, and I was able to hold
my own by the adhesion of my body and
clothing to the roof. Another kick at the
risk of slipping off, and a little more body
on roof. Finally a knee; then both knees,
and safety. My late fellow squerers—
whom I could no longer see—gave me a
cheer when I told them I was all right.
I was in a position then where I could
help any one. else to get out with compara
tively little danger by giving them a. hand
and pulling,r them up. i. told them so, and
in the exuberance of my spirits invited
them collectively to freedom. But only
one, a yo Ling men about. eighteen and a light
weight, “‘le vcxu uresome enough to accept
the invitation. ~ I pulled him up quite easi-
ly. Then together we scampered up on the
roof of the front building, and cautiously
looked over the coping down on the crowd
which had gathered on Fourth street at
the word that the gambling house was be-
ing “pulled.” Such is the buoyancy of
youthful spirits that, from‘beinga few min-
utes before ubjectly downcast, we were
actually having quite a jolly time; a regu-
lar lark up on the roof, out of harm’s way,
watching detachments of citizens, who had
been caught in a gambling house, march-
ing toward the Hammond street station
under police escort. It was so funny.
However, when they had all gone we
thought ourselves that we could go too.
Besides, it was getting late. SO we started
to go. The building we were on stood on
the corner, and those to the south and west
of it were a great deal lower. They were
old buildings, and this was a new one.
Still, that did not bother us much. We
were both active, and all we had to do to
get on one of the lower buildings and
thence to the ground was to slide down a
water conductor. Then we skirmished
around for a water conductor. We found
three, but unfortunately all were of tin,
partly disjointed and evidently entirely in-
capable of sustaining either of our weights.
It began to dawn on us that we might
have to stay where we were all night. This
would be awkward again, especially as we
might be arrested in the morning for not
being able to give an account of ourselves.
\Ve tried several scuttles, but all were
closed, and we dared not make a noise for
f ear of being mistaken for burglars and
shot by any one who might be. underneath 1
them. We were pretty nearly “up a l
stump” when we found a ventilating sky- i
light with side windows, to which was at- l
tached a. small rope, like flag halliards, for i
raisin the sides of the skylight from be- '
low. Vc pulled up this rope—or as much
of it as we could—from both sides. cut it
Off and tied the pieces together. This we
proposed to tie around a chimney and go
down on it to the next roof. But it. was
old and had been exposed to the weather
evidently a long time, and it was question-
able whether or not itwould sustain our
lVe did the best we could to test it, brac-
ing our feet against each other’s and pull-
ing as hard as we could on the rope, a
small portion at a time, until we had gone K
over its entire length. As it didn’t break,
we concluded it would stand the strain; so
we made one end of it fast to the iron brace
of a chimney and threw the other over the
coping. It did not quite reach the next
roof, but it would be a short drop from the
end of the rope to the roof: Then the ques-
tion was who should start first. We agreed
that as I was the heavier, if I started to go
down and the rope broke, I might break
my leg, but he would be left on the roof;
whereas, as he was the lighter, if he went
down in safety and the. rope broke while [
was going down I might break my leg, but
he would be in shape to call an ambulance.
So he started to go down the rope, and he
made the descent successfully.
Then came my turn. I climbed over the
coping, but kept one hand held on it, while
with the other I held on to the small, worn
and rotten rope.- I hated awfully to let go
that coping. It was twenty-five or thirty
feet down to that other roof, and it seemed
a good deal farther. But there is no use
hesitating. lVell, here goes. Plunk! Oh,
my! I am down on that roof, but I can’t
get any wind into my body. Ugh! Ugh!
I can only grunt. My friend comes to my
assistance, rolls me around and feels of my
arms and legs. He pronounces me sound
as a dollar. Meantime I begin to get a.
few short breaths. Then my companion
tells me that I‘ ‘had my legs “scrouched
up,” as he expresses it, when I let go the
coping; that the rOpe broke as soon as I
put my weight on it, and that I came down
on the most frequent resting place of my
anatomy. That’s what so completely
knocked the wind out of me.
We got down all right then, went to the
hotel and washed Off the coal dust of the.
roof. 'But ever since that time I have been
prejudiced against keno.—Alex I. McLeod

A PRINCELY CHARITY.
The $2,400,000 Gift Sent by Baron Hirsch
for Hebrew Immigrants.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—-One of the largest
single gifts for charitable purposes thai
have ever been made was received by
Banker Jesse Seligman from the famous
Baron Hirsch. It came in the shape of a
cablegram from Baron Hirsch, author.
izing Mr. Seligman to pay over to the
Hirsch fund the sum of 12,000,000f., or $2,-
400,000.
The income from the $2,400,000 is to be
devoted to caring for the poor Hebrew im-
migrants coming to the United States, and
if it should prove insufficient for the work
in view Mr. Seligman wasinstructed tc
draw what is necessary from the principal,
and Baron Hirsch will make goodwhat-
ever the amount appropriated in this way
may be.
The Hirsch fund was created some six
months ago, when the. baron wrote along
letter to Jesse Seligman promising that
gentleman $10,000.11 month, or $130,000 a
year, for the purpose of educating and
Americanizing the. thousands of Hebrews
who arrive in this country every year from
Poland and the Danube provinces.
On the receipt of this letter, Mr. Selig.
man organized a society which is com-
posed of some of the most. substantial and
wealthiest men in the city, to carry intc
practice the work mapped outby the gener-
ous baron.
The president of the society is ex-Judge
Meyer S. Isaacs, the treasurer Jesse Selig-
man, and the board of trustees includes
Jacob ll. Schifl’, Henry Rice. ex-United
States Minister Oscar Strauss. S. H. Hoff"
man and others.
After several meetings these gentlemen
decided to erect an educational institute on
East Broadway, where the many wards of
the baron could be instructed in trades
and studies which would prove’of the most
benefit to them in the new country. It
was decided to use but a very small pro-
portion of the sum at their disposal in
actual money to aid the poorer Hebrews,
but to expend it in educating them, which
would prove of more lasting value.
These plans were submitted to Baron
Hirsch by letter. and so well was he
pleased with them that he sent the cable-
gram to Mr. Seligman.
Of the many gifts that Baron Hirsch
has made within the past five yeru's the one
just cabled to New York is the largest in-
dividual one of them all.
Baron Hirsch is one of the wealthiest
men in Europe. He made the bulk of his
gigantic fortune by speculating in railroads
in the Orient. He is one of the shrewdest
and most brilliant financiers of the age,
and while he has accumulated an almost
unestimable fortune, he has: given more to
charity than perhaps any two men living.
All over the world he has done something
to advance and educate the men. women
and children of his nationality, and the
breadth and scope of his charity in this
special field is limitless.
