 From the Chicago Times.I
 Senator Teller, of Colorado, is the happy father of two boys. One of them, named Sam, a red headed young daredevil of eight years, was recently introduced to President Arthur. He took the introduction very coolly, and proceeded at once to establish ia miliar relations with the Chief Magistrate Two days ago Sam, who is fond of piscatorial pursuits and will brave everything in the way of parental punishment to satisfy his taste, sat fishing at the foot of Seventeenth street. After the style of older anglers he had his line between his right first finger and thumb, and was anxiously, yet patiently, awaiting bite. He was aroused from his reverie by large, tall man smoking cigar, who cheerily accosted him. .'Halloo, Sam, what are you doing there, my boy?"
 Why, halloo, Mir. Arthur" was the boys response. 'I am fishing. Don't you want to take line yourself ?'
 No, not now," said the President, smil- ing.
 westerner.
 ''Oh, yes," was the reply. T frequently go fishing. I caught fifty pound salmon in the St. Lawrence once"
 Do you like to come here, Mir. Arthur? ?'
 Yes, do, Sam, " responded the President, with touch of sadness in his voice II am a widower, and my wife used to liTe in that mouse, polhtlnS ID An numoie lOoAluS iIaAe building.
 T think it's funny for you to be here" continued Sam, hauling up his line and look ing disgusted when he found his bait gone and no fish on the hook. ''Ain't you afraid of getting shot, like NIT. Garield!''
 "No, sam replied the President, "I new CT think of that. I like to stroll around, and especially to come down here" If I was a rich man like you, MT. Arthur" ! said the boy, "and had all the carriages and horses you have, would not come walking ! around here. would ride out to Great Falls l and fish"
 General Arthur laughed at the artIessness of the boy, and said he was going to Great | Falls some of these days to fish.
 "Are you going to the circus, Mir. Arthur | broke in Sam abruptly. No. Are you?" | Yes indeed I wouldn't miss the circus for anything. Governor Pacheco is going to | take me in his carriage Its two miles, you know, and we've got to ride. They say they've | got an awful big elephant. You ought to go | and see it, Mir. Arthur q would like to do so, said the President, but can't go this afternoon, Sam I guess | you had better come and take dinner with me. | Pull up your line and let us go." No, indeed, was the quick reply; cant | get me to dinner to-day. I'm going to the circus. I'd rather go to cirrus any time | than dinner"
 Well" said the President, laughing. let us walk up the street any way. It's near time for the circus
 That's so.n said Sam, pulling up his line and stufing the major part in his pocket. I'll go along with you, Mr- Arthur"
 They walked up the street short distance, Sam holding on by the Presidznt's hand
 Why" he broke out suddenly, we all like you, Mir. Arthur, because of your sp- pointment of Mir. Teller. Herbert likes you, too"
 "Who is Herbert 7" asked the President
 Hes my big brother He's twelve years old, and he likes you. I'll bring him up to see you."
 of you come up to the White House and have dinner with me some day. and I'll drive you out to Great Falls, where we will have some good fishing"
 "That'll be bully ' cried Sam. His eyes frightened as he saw the carriage driving toward them. He yelled to the coachman to stop. There's Governor Pacheco," he shouted. The Governor stepped out of the carriage and advanced toward the President and Sam sang out "Halloo, Governor MT. Arthur this is my friend, Governor Pacheco, I want you to know him. I'll go with you now, Governor Good day, Mir Arthur, D re- linquishing his hold of the Presidents hand, and General Arthur and Governor Pseheco separated The boy shouted: 'Oh, Mir. Ar thur, you must go to the circus when Jumbo comes They say he is the biggest elephant in the world. You had better drive down and take me with you when he comes"
 The President laughingly assented to the proposition. It was very evident that Sam thought more of Governor Pacheco than he did of the President, and more of the circus than he did of both.
