Orchards on Phenis and Dry creeks
were badly injured, the trees not torn
down being denued of blossoms. Fall
wheat was badly broken and driven
into the ground, and will be much in
jured.
The path of the tornado, where it
was strong enough to destroy houses,
was not very wide. It began, so far
as we now know, in Chase county, and
then appears to have lifted inte the
air and struck the earth again at
Jacobs creek, in this county, and
kept on going east until it reached
Mr.. Ross house, about three miles east
of Emporia. It then again rose from
the earth, and may have come down
again or may not, at some point fur
ther east. The width of the tract up
on which buildings were destroyed is
about six miles, reaching from the
northern limits of Emporia to about
four miles south of the Cottonwood.
The storm was more extensive than
this, but not in its destructive power.

THROUGH A WINDOW.

1 lie here at rest in my chamber,
And look through the window again,
With eyes that are changed siuce the old time,
And the sting of an exquisite pain.
IT'S not much that see for picture,
Through boughs thatare green with spring,
A barn with its roof gray and mossy,
And above it bird on the wing;
Or, lifting my head thought higher,
Some hills and village know,
And over It all the blue heaven,
With white cloud floating below.
All once the roof was prison,
Ny mind and the sky were free,
Ny thoughts with the birds went flying,
And my hopes were heaven to me.
Now come from the limitless distance
Where followed my youths wild will,
Where they press the wing Of delusion
That you drink and are thirsty still;
And know why the bird with the spring
time
To the gnarled old tree comes back
he has tried the South and II summer
He has felt what the sweet things lack.
So come with sad contentment.
With eyes that are changed see
The roof means peace, not prison,
And Heaven smiles down on me.

her glasses, and looking at him over

Evenings at the White House.

The President and family receive
informally in the evening, sometimes
in the Red Room and sometimes in the
Library. These visits, however, are
only madeby intimate personal friends,
or by those warranted through their
acquaintance to call in a social man
ner. The evenings in the Library are
very charming. Brilliant and cult
waited men and women gather in little
knots in different parts of the spacious
and cheerful apartment, and wit spark
les and anecdote enlivens conversation.
The President frequently disappears
he has private library, where he re-
tires when any gentleman present
wishes to speak with him on matters
of policy or politics; but he soon re-
turns, to all appearances as unrufied
as if the great sea of public opinion
had settled into a perfect calm. Mrs.
Hayes entertains her visitors in an
easy, courteous, cordial manner, NOV
ing among them with stately grace,
and scattering pleasant words. Great
gentleness and sweetness prevade the
whole domestic life Of the Presidents
family. Little Fannie, the only daugh-
ter, bright child Of nine years, the
pet and favorite of all who know her,
is never visible at dinner or to evening
visitors. 81 am obliged to compromise
with my little lady" remarked Mrs.
Hayes, with smile, "as 1 found her
growing old too fast for her years we
serve her dinner in her room, which
she esteems a high compliment" ;" The
private dining-room of the Presidents
family is the only one of their private
apartments which is on the great main
floor of the White House. The meals
are breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in
stead of breakfast, dinner, and tea, as
in the time of Madison. No unusual
forms and ceremonies are observed in
the service further than those at any
gentlewoman's table. The hospitali-
ties of either lunch or dinner are frank
ly rendered to any familiar guest who
may chance to be calling at the speci-
fed hour, and not infrequently ac-
cepted.-MARTHA J. LAMB, in Har-
per's Magazine for March.

We Two.

When you and I are asleep, my love,
Under the carven stone;
Who will there be elft to weep, nv love,
Of all that we have known?
But the lark will sing as clear and free,
AS he springs from his nest in the alder tree,
And the robin carol his hearts desire
Above US in the red-rose brier
Though your voice is low and weak, my dear,
There is love-light in your eye
Tho the roses fade from your cheek. my dear,
Loves roses never die
But it's oh for the long and lasting sleep
Where the wildwood honeysGckIes creep!
Under the violets lie,
And let the weary world go by.

A Poor Town for Business,


He was red-nosed, wild eyed man
from the head waters of Sage Run,
and looked as if he had not been in
town since oil was discovered. His
rusty pants We're several inches too
short for him, and he carried half a
desei3 desei3 eeefs4f eeefs4f skins skins III III his his haHa
At the post-office corner he met a
South Side lady, and stopping her by
holding the bunch of hides before her
face, said
Cant I'sell you something nice to
make set of turs out Off"
The lady screamed, and shot across
to the other side of thesstreet.
"DOes any of your neighbors want
to buy anything of the kind?" yelled
the red-nosed man.
The lady screamed again.
"Now, what's the matter with Han
ner?" remarked the red-nosed man, as
the lady disappeared in door oppo-
site.
A moment later the man veered in
to bank, and threw his hides down
at the cashiers window.
"Got some A. No. coon skins here
that I'll sell cheap Not a scratch of
tooth on any OF 'em. Ketched every
one of 'em in a box trap"
"We have no use for them," said
the President, politely, as he cast an
oblique glance at the goods.
They'll make you nice vest" said
The red-nosed man. Two hides II
make you a vest, and one'll make you
cap that'll wear you as long as you
live"
"My dear sir, !" replied the Presi-
dent, somewhat confused, "we don't
want hides here. Take them else
where, please" "
"Mebbe your wife would like a set
of furs, and these is"
"No, no, no" replied the banker,
impatiently; "take the things away,
they are offensive"
whats that?' said the red-nosed
man, sharply.
"Take the blamed things out of
this!" exclaimed the exasperated bank
er; "they smell like a slaughter house. :"
"I'll take dollar for the lot"
"The people next door buy coon
skins" put in the cashier; take them
in there; take them up town; take
them down town ; take them across the
river; take them"
"Gimme fifty cents for the lot," per-
sisted the red-nosed man.
eff you don't get out of this I'll
kick your head OFF, yelled the infu-
rated President.
"I'll take thirty cents for the SIX"
said the red-nosed man. "D'ye say

by the tail.
The President started for the out
side. The man with the skins started
for the sidewalk, and after having
reached it, he paused and said:

TIE VALUE OF PATENT INVENTIONS.
AN ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL TO REVISE

rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl


tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE IRIBUNE.l
WAsHINGToN Feb. 5.-Mr. G. c. Coffin, of Boston
made an argument before the House Committee on
Patents this morning in support of the bill now un-
der consideration for the revision of the Patent
laws. Mr.. Coffin has been for several months en-
gagged in investigating the Western industries that
have been built up under the present Patent laws.
He presented great amount of detailed infOrma-
ton, covering facts in relation TO nearly all the
patented articles in permanent use in agriculture.
He began with the plough which he termed the basis
of civilization. He said that Charles Newbold, who
made the first improvement in 1897 by the invcn-
ton of castron pows could not overcome the pref
udiceoflarners who thought tie plough poisonedthe
land Mr.. Coffin introduced statistics to show that
the poughs of one company added millions of dollars
to the wealth of the country lie asserted that the
cutivators saved an aggregate OF three-and-a-half
cents per bushe on the entire crop of last year.
IL is a mistaken notion, he sad that the inventors
and manufacturers charging eXcesslue royalties;
Oh the contrary, manufacturing now IS for the most
part losing business; the $50 establishments wnch
formerly made reapcrs have been reduced to four
principal ones Mr. COffin's speech illustrated the
line of argument adopted by Eastern inventors IN
favor Of the present Patent laws.

under considerable restraint if called upon to testify
in public in regard TO Mexican affairs, and to make
known his opinion of the Diaz Government. 1t IS
possible that he might say nothing which would in
any way compromise him with the Mexican author
ites. and yet 1t is by no means improbable that
some of his statements. though they could not be
denied. would be anything but gratifying 70 the
Government Of that country. Under these circum-
stances, Mr.. Foster would probably be Obliged to
evade or decline to answer some important questions
put to him by the committee, through fear that his
replies might be used to prejudice him with the
Government Of Mexico after his return to That
country.
In private and confidential consultation held at
the State Department, Mr.. Foster can give 10 the
committee all the information he possesses and can
even 90 farther and express his private opinion in
regard to the stability and good Will of the Diaz
Administration. Whatever portions of the conver-
saon are of general interest, and the publication OF
which will nOt at the same time compromise either
Minister Foster or the Administration, will be given
to the press. The record of the remainder OF the
conversatioI will be kept in the State Department
as portion of It's secret archives.
