A Presidential Incident.

At Trenton, y. j., the train stopped,
and the first crowd was encountered
The train had scarcely como TO a stand
when little old lady in black appeared
at the door of the Presidents ear, and,
though the attendants were for keeping
her out, the President. by word, caused
her to be admitted. She walked up to
the Chief Executive of the nation, and
without the slightest embarrassment
took him by the hand, and with the re-
mark, 90 President, | want to shake
hands with you,'' shook it heartily.
The President very good naturally said,
81 believe we've seen you BEFORE" and
explained to the bystanders that the old
lady had made her appearance at the
Ohio State Building at the Centennial
on the Ohio day last fall Having OPEN
ed the conversation in this off-haDd way,
the strange visitor ran on: 81 have
brought you a cake, and / want You to
take it and eat it. Here it is laying a
basket containing large cake on the
tablet, and you can keep the basket;
and I've brought thirteen fans, because
want every one of you to have one"
She distributed the fans among the
laughing spectators, and then, in self
justification, said, President, l want
you to understand these things are the
truth; don't want no Office This
blunt declaration raised a laugh, and
the President remarked that he was glad
to hearit, because she was different from
most people who came to see him.-Bos-

to sleep because they are themselve:
half asleep in body and wholly so in
spirit. They have the blue devils on
Monday because the devil of procrastina-
ton possessed them all the week. They
go on sea-voyages and European tours
in search of lost health which they would
find at home if they would sleep enough
and at proper hours.
The poor mothers and house-keepers
who are kept awake by restless children
and unfinished tasks have more of our
pity, but even they might manage better
than they do. Babies are sure to be i'll
and restless if their mothers get over
tired. 1t is surprising TO see how many
of the indispensable pieces of work
may be postponed if one will but think
so. 81 might have done a little more, -
wrote Faith Rochester once, but re-
membered that l was the baby's mother,
and so l went to bed" Sensible wO-
man and good mother 1t is painful to
think how many nursing babies die of
embroidery and rnffled skirts; of cakes
and pies. and superfiuous machine and
Homework of all sorts. 1t is not put
down so in the registry of deaths. They
call the trouble by various names-chol-
era infantum, marasmus, hydrocepha-
lus, etc.-but the recording angel
knows better, and, without mincing
matters, writes: IS Died of fatigue be-
cause its mother was ignorant, or OBJ
stinate, or vain and silly" as the case
may be.
Thank heaven it is no longer thought
an eviable distinction in woman to
ed since the days that some of us can
remember, when the girl who tainted
easily was thought to be of a little
higher order of beings than her more
robust companions. Health is becom-
ing fashionable, but public sentiment
will not be entirely sound upon the
question as long as the fact is not gener-
ally recognized that to risk the health for
present personal qualification is worse
than stupid blunder, it is sinful, and
while there is so little cultivation of the
moral sense that people very generally
dc not care whether their actions are
right or wrong.
A return to the habits of life i'm vogue
a century ago is neither to be expected
nor desired. 1t is right that we should
share the pleasures of our own time, and
be in sympathy with its fuller light; but
surely he who realizes that he is not
simply one of procession passing form
birth to DEATHS not here merely to
serve and please him, but to bear his
part in the worlds wOrk-will feel

carried from her room and out of the

man, before she awoke. Her screams
aroused the neighbors and the abductor
