"And what of it? asked Mr..
Hayes, putting down the pitcher
aud gazing thOughtfully at fine
COPY OF Stuart's portrait of George
Washington. "And what of it, if 1
have clothed official life with q new
mantle of morality and piety? What
of it, Rogers, i'll have risen to the

PENNSYLVANIA avenue, or elsewhere,
O pair of the blue or striped yarn
mittens com monty worn by team
sters, wood-choppers, and other un-
ostentations citizens in the Western
Reserve. They afford better pro-
lection against the cold than kid
gloves, and are comparatively unas-
suming and inexpensive. Why,
Rogers, should I array my fingers
in costly coverings when so many
poor voters are actually suffering for
the necessities OF existence Why
deck out my hands in imported
gloves when thousands have no

ct will get you a pair this very
night" said the enraptured Rogers,
"and also pair for myself. As !
was remarking, it is the beautiful
coinci-"
"Get them as cheap as possible"
said Mr.. Hayes. "Ws have no
right to squander the means Provi-
dence has intrusted to US in times
like these. Perhaps if you mention
that the mittens are for the Presi-
dent of the United States Of Ameri-
ca you can obtain them for the bare
cost of the material"
Simple, yet grand-hearted pa
triotw murmured Rogers.
"And on your way back to the
White House, suggested Mr.. Hayes,

and relate this little conversation to
the correspondents Of some Of the
more influential Western journals.
