Spelling a Game Of Euchre.

1T IS said that, early in his reign,
Rutherford had invited some of the
boys up for card-party, and the
thing was "set up'' in advance. The
President and Uncle Richard Thomp-
son were to play against Evarts and
Sherman. The game was to be euchre,
although Sherman and Thompson were
yearning for little draw-poker. The
guests came, and were ushered without
ceremony into the Presidents library.
Rutherford was there, and so was
madam, more entertaining and Win
some, If possible, than usual She
was particularly solicitous about the
health of each and the family of the
same, hoped Uncle Dick Thompson
wouldn't work himself to death, and
babe Mr.. Evarts beware how he took
fried clans on his stomach at midnight.
MIR. Sherman hoped they were not de-
tanning Mrs. Hayes from receiving
other friends, or from the pleas ant
duties of the domestic circle. All no,
indeed! This was her hour with her
husband and any of his intimate
friends who happened to drop in.
Thompson looked at Sherman and
winked Sherman remarked: "Ah,
yes, beautiful thought, madam; beau
tiful thought Evarts emitted wordy
eulogy on the beauties of home life;
and the President-yawned. Eleven
o'clock came, and the visitors with
drew with the sweetest of parting bene-
dictions from Mrs Hayes. The next
day Rutherford was obliged to admit
to his disappointed friends: cts no
use; Lucy won't have it; she doesn t
say word, but you see how she works
it." There won't be any wickedness
at the White House if Mrs. Hayes can
help it. There is great deal of in
triguery which she knows nothing about,
but that doesn't count. When she
strikes anything off color, she "shoots
it on the spot. Washington Cor. Phil
