A HOTEL ScENE.-A very amusing
incident occurred yesterday morning at
the Ebbitt House. Master Walter 5.
Morton, son of Senator Morton, arrived
early from the train. He was coming
from Indianapolis, where he had been
at school, and was fastening to greet
his mother with morning salutation.
His knock at the door in the Ebbitt
House produced the following scene
within the apartments once occupied by
the Senator, and from which he had
lately removed
Knock Knock
Sleepy husband to his young wife !:
"My dear, the man who lights the fires
wants to get in
The lady hastily rises, pulls the bolt,
and rushes back into the bedroom and
the bed clothes Another moment and
the parlor door bursts open and in rush
es a young man, eager and with open
arms. He pursues the lady into the
bedroom and to the bedside. She utters
a little cry of surprise and covers her
head with the bed clothes just as the ar
dent stranger bends over to embrace her.
Husband, startled by the cry, turns
over, yawns, and then sees the young
man gazing over the bed in dim light
of the early morning. Alarm, surprise
and doubt are depicted on his counte-
nance as he calculates, "Wh-what,s
the matterf Wh-wh-at's upf VIII
who are you, sir 7
Young man realizes his situation and
stammers, I'LL must have made a
mistake. II thought this was my
fathers room. l beg your pardon.
Dust here the lady sees the point and
discloses a beautiful young face and
breaks out into hearty and forgiving
laugh.) Ill thought you were
nv mother !" He retires precipitately,
in bushes and confusion, to inquire the
way to his fathers room
The lady who has learned how to en-
Joy good joke in California, does not
fail to appreciate one in Washington;
but the husband may be little jealous
on account of that threatening kiss,
which startled his sleepy eyes, and may
be on the watch hereafter for ''the man
who builds the fires. s."-Vashingfon

HEART.B BLIGHTING.

"Subdued by her continued sadness

er times, he whisped, BE to me as of
yore, loving child of glec. old
Story.
At thy kind wish, would I could be
once more
What thou hast said l was in days of
yre-
A loving child Of glee;
But cen while listening to thy passion
ed words,
NY heart was futtering like prisoned
birds
When struggling to be free.
Thee have loved with all q young
girls madness,
The dream has proved one long, long
dream of sadness,
A sorrow sadly wild {;
I've striven, as twere, anightmare dark
to vanish,
The narrowing mem ries of the past to

And be once more child.
Bat no, my heart is scared by frequent
sighting,
And nevermore can wake from that sad
blighting
1t had when it was young
1t dreamed thee all the soul would
warmly cherish,
But woke to find the glorious vision
perish
The hope to which it clung.
Now, like some vessel stranded on the
shore,
All crushed and wreck'd, it never shall
walk more,
The waters bright of life
But lay exposed to idle passers-by
Who, pausing, oft will shudder forth a
sigh
For such mournful sight.
Whene'er the murmurinS winds the
sea-waves fling
Upon the wreck. its requiem to sing,
Low sigh this dirge for me
Full many a trusting heart is lightly
broken,
By cruel Sights, or words too coldly
spoken,
Lost to eternity.

SHED 1913 JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA.


President Madison was fond of tell
ing the story of a visit made to him by
one Of his supporters. After due intro
ductory discussion of the weather and
the state Of parties, the voter explained
to the President that he had called up
on him to ask for the Office Of the Chief
Justice Of the United States.
Mr. Madison was little surprised,
bat with that ready tact which he had
brought from his diplomatic experience,
he concealed his astonishment. He
took down the volume which contained
the constitution of the United States
aud explained to this Mr. Swearingen-
if that were his name-that the judges
held office on the tenure of good beha-
vior and that Judge Marshall, then the
ornament Of the bench, could not be re-
| moved to make place for him.
Mr.. Swearingen received the an
nouncement quietly, and, after a mo-
ment, said he thought he should like to
be Secretary of State.
The President said that that was un-
doubtedly place where q man could
do good servise to the country, but that
Monroe, like Mr.. Swearingen and him
self, was Virginian, and he did not
like to remove him.
"Then, said Mr. Swearingen, 81 will
be Secretary of the Treasury"
Unfortunately, the President said, the
present incumbent was Pennsylva-
nian; it was necessary to conciliate
Pennsylvania, and he could not remove
him.
HThen," said Mr.. Swearingen, 81
think / will 90 abroad. / should like
to 60 to France
"Do you speak French :" asked the
President, kindly.
NO, sir. I speak nothing but Old
Dominion English-good enough for
me, Mr.. President"
eyes, yes, and for me. But ] don't
think it will do to send you to the Mon
sieurs unless you can speak their Ian
guage."
"Then I'll 60 to England"
"Ah, Mr. Swearingen that will new
er do King George might remember
how often your father snapped his rifle
at Lord CORVALLIS.
So Europe was exhausted, and Mr..
Swearingen fell back on one and anoth-
er colectorship, naval office, district at
torneyship but for each application
the astute President had his reply.
II think, then, Mr.. President, L will
be postmaster at our Office at home.
Mr.. Madison had forgotten where
that was but learning that it was at
Slate Creek, -Four Corners, Botetourt
county, Va, he sent for the register.
Alas it proved that the Office was in
the hands of one of Morgan's veterans.
Impossible to remove him
"Truly, Dir. Madison" said Mr..
Swearingen, 81 am obliged to you for
your attention to my case. see the
difficulties that surround you. Now
seeing Won can not give me the Chief
Justices place, nor Mr. Monroe's, nor
the Treasury, nor any of these others,
don't you think you could give me a
pair of old leather breeches 7"
MIR. Madison thought he could-did
better gave him an order on his tailor
for the breeches and Mr.. Swearingen
went happily on bis way.

Brigham Youngs Favorite Wife.


How large is his little family circle .
He had nineteen wives until left,
and forty-fve children.
How does he support them 7
Well, the most of them support
themselves. Brigham compels them to
do it. For instance he only allows
enough to each one to puchase the bare
necessities OF life-calico dresses Wo-
men in Utah have the same pride and
ambition about their personal appear.
ance that they have anywhere else. If
they want anything better, they are
compelled to take in boarders or do sew
ing, or something of that sort. That is
the way he treats all of them but the
favorite, Amelia Fulsom. She dresses
in silk and satin, eats at the same table
with him, and does nothing all the day.
The rest eat in the same dining-room,
and they are compelled to look on. Full
som can do anything she likes with him.
1t would be interesting to know which
of the nineteen wives was able to cap
ture Brigham, and maintain an ascend
cy over him. How is she able TO man
age him
BY her temper, she has an awful tenn
per, and she can scold him into anything.
Is she good looking? No, she is
ugly, and over forty years old. They
say am jealous, but that is not the case.
Well, then, does her charms lie in
her intellect No, 1 amt jealous of her
bit-she is the reverse of rehned-in-
deed, she is the coarsest and most vul-
gar of all the wives of Mr. Young. Her
reputation is bad-that is it was bad un-
til she married Brigham. l don't like
to repeat what is said about her all over
Salt Lake. She rules him by her strong
will and bad temper.
How does he manage the rest of his
wives
He keeps them at a distance, and no
familiarity is allowed from them. They
don't dare to speak to him except now
and then when he is extra good-natured.
Brigham has been good deal of flirt
in his day. There is no excuse tor his
meanness towards his wives, because he
is enormously wealthy.-&. louis

FASHIONABLE DEMONSTRATING Of
fashionable women, the London Lancet

A WASHINGTON STORY.

The Washington correspondents OF
the Courier Journal exults little over
the manner in which two Massachusetts
lawyers were outwitted by man aud
her counsel. The correspondent says
For the past twenty years there has
been a claim before Congress, knowr
as the sA,oche claim" General Ato-
che, who presented the claim in person,
was handsome Mexican officer, who
suffered in some way during the Hexi-
can war, and was compelled by Santa
Anna to leave the country. His losses
were secured to him when Mexico paid
our Government indemnity. I say il,
with regret, that when money oncc
passes into the possession Of the gov
ernment, il is very hard to get it back
again, for the policy appears to be to
avoid the payment Of every just debt If
possible. Thus we see persons with in
disputable claims spending a life time
in the vain effort Of obtaining justice,
and hequeathing the claims as legacy
to their children. General Atocbe has
been dead for years, but his widow and
two daughters survive. The eldest is
the wife of Captain Ammon, the most
intimate friend Of the President Nine
Atoche lives with Mrs. Ammon. Before
Congress adjourned, last March, the
Atoche claim was allowed, but when
Mr.. Jannin, her lawyer, went to the
Treasury to draw the money, MIR. Cush-
ing and General Butler were on hand
with an attachment tor their client, .
wealthy Mexican named Randero. Ran
dero's claim covered the entire amount,
near S2O0,0U0 After attaching the
money it was necessary to allow GER
tain length Of time to clapse before ei-
ther party could draw the money. That
especial day occurred about two weeks
ago. The first persons who entered
the Treasury upon that important day
were Nine. A,oche and her lawy err who
proceeded TO the auditors office, where
all the papers were ready to be signed.
This was quickly done, and proceeding
to the cashiers office, the money was
duly counted, rcceipted aud delivered.
The parties left rejoicing. Two hours
aferward Mr.. Cushing and Gen. Butler
entered, expecting to carry of great
piles of greenbscks Imagine their con-
sternation when told that tho money
was paid. | have heard that Gen. But
ler made things lively, for when bad hc
ever before been outwittcd Ho said
they did not come before II o'clock, be-
cause he thought that, even IT Nine.
Atoche got there at 9, it would take
hours to make out the papers The
question is, who was the friend that
hinted to the Auditor that II would be

business Mr.. Jannin gets a fee Of

SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-Female love
illness never appears to SO good advan.
tage as when set off by simplicity of
dress. No artist ever docks his angels
with towering feathers and gaudy jew
elry; and our dear human angels-if
they would make good their title to
that name-should carefully avoid orna-
ments which properly belong TO Indian
squaws and African princesses. These
tinselries may serve to give effect on
the stage or upon ballroom floor, but
in daily life there is no substitute for
the charm of simplicity. A vulgar taste
is not to be disguised by gold and dia-
monds. The absence of true taste
and real refinement of delicacy cannot
be compensated for by the possession of
the most princely fortune. Mind meas
ures gold, but gold cannot measure
mind. Through dress the mind may be
read, as through the delicate tissues the
lettered page. A modest woman will
dress modestly; really refined and in
tellectual woman will bear the marks of
careful selection and faultless taste.
