PERSONALITIES OF PRESIDENTS.

When l was little girl, writes "Mrs
Grundy in the Louisville Courier-Journal,
used to read with delight the stories of the
courtesies our early Presidents habitually
showed to children and poor people whom
they CHANGED to meet, and especially to those
who did not know the high station of the
gentlemen who helped them in some simple
unpretending way. remember one, which
has found place in history, which relates
how Mr.. Jefferson, while President, was
riding over the rough country roads between
Monticello and Washington City on his way
TO his home in the Executive Mansion, and,
observing little lad trudging along in the
mud, took him in his buggy, and he took
him some distance on his journey, treating
him with the greatest courtesy notwith.
standing the child, unaware who his new
friend was, let fall some unpleasant re-
marks touching Mr.. Jefferson caught up
from his relatives, who were political OPP
ponnets of that statesman. The child was
told before the parting to come to the White
House, if ever he came to Washington, and
send in his name. This he subsequently
did, and was cordially welcomed by the
President, and given meal at his table. A
similar story, never before published, has
been told me of President johnson, by one
who was riding with him one day about
three miles outside the city. He saw poor
woman with child in her arms making her
way slowly and painfully towards town, and
he, knowing nothing of her, stopped. took
her and the little one into his carriage, and
took them to the place she designated in the
city, but never mentioning who it was who
had thus earned the gratitude she expressed.

Che Sun.
NEW YORK, 1888.


More people have read THE sun du ing the year
lust now passing than ever before since il was
first printed No other newspaper published ON
this side of the earth has been bought and read in
any year by so many men and women.
We are eredibly in formed that people buy, read
and like TIE SuN for the following reasons, among
others.
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest Tor humankind the events
the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the philoso.
ply, the notable folly, the solid sense, the i'm
proving nonsense--all the news oil the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs THE Sun makes a
practice OF telling them the exact truth to the
best of its ability three hundred and sixty-hvc
days in the year, before election well as fter,
about the whales as well as about the small fish
in the face of dissent plainly and fearlessly as
when supported by general approval. TIE Sun
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save the in
formation OF its readers and the furherance OF
the common good.
Fecaese it is everybody's newspaper. No man
is SO humble that The Sun is Indifferent 10 his
welfare and his rights No man is SO rich that il
can allow injustice to be done him. No man, no
association OF men, Is powerful enough TO be ex-
empt from the strict application of its principles
OF right and wrong
Because in politics il has fought for a dozen
years. without int rmission and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers, the fight that has result,
ed IN the recent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest government
NO matter what party is In power, THE Sun
stands and viii continue to stand like a rock fol
the interests of the people against the ambition
OF bosses, the encroaehments of monopolists aud
the dishonest schemes of public robbers,
All this is what we are told almost daily by our
friends One man holds that THE Sun is the best
religious newspaper ever ever published, because
its Christianity is undiluted with can't Another
holds that it is the best Republican newspaper
printed, because 1t has already whipped half OF
the rascas out of that party, and is proceeding
against the other half with undiminished vigor
third believes il to be the best magazine OF
general literature in existence because It's readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current in
the world of thought. So every friend of THE
Sun discovers one of its many sides that appeals
with particular force to his individual liking.
If you already know THE sun you will observe
that in 1888 it is little better than ever before
If you do moi already know THE SUN You will find

Huron told me that he was the owner
of a splendid homestead but few miles
from town. What he had done was
true of gentlemen of all professions
generally in Dakota. They all own
large tracts. The newsman on the
train from Tracy had his homestead in
Dakota. Nearly all the railroad en-
ployes and laborers employed in con-
structing the railroads over the Dakota
prairies have their claims if they have
not sold them. Two young women

shared my seat stated that her compan-
ion was likewise a waitress in the same

prising American girls, who had both
homestead and tree claims at Harold,
seventy-tive miles out on the road.
They ran out to spend every other Sun
day in their shanties or ''shacks,n and
this constituted their residences. Hired
men work the claims for them and
they were able to earn handsome wages
in the Huron hotel, nearly eighty miles
away. The fertile lands comprising
all the various claims belonged to the
United States government only little
time ago. They cost their owners next
to nothing, and are now held at prices
ranging from six to ten dollars an acre.

The Fascinating Widosy.

\ writer in HdYper'S observes that
the feminine mind is often not little
puzzled to understand why the fascina-
tons OF a widow are SO much more POI
tent than those of Il single woman. why
it is that in every gathering the widow
will carry off the partners from under
the very noses of the spinster who is in
the very flower wail-fiower-of her
youth. Does she speak with the
tongues of men and angels more than
the rest of us? Is she better hred9
Does she fiatter with more skill or dress
with more effect? Is she prettier? they
ask, perhaps. Is it the jointure left by
her marquis of CarabaS, or because she
has been Endorsed by Il lord of creation?
Or is it the shadow of an early grief
which attracts, or the exhibition of a
most beautiful designations In the
young girls estimation the suffice was
about the right kind of widow Ought
not the only flame left for her be that
of the funeral pyre? And is there not
something ungenerouS, she asks, in a
world where husbands are scarce, for
woman to appropriate more than
one? Is 1t not Il sort of denial of i'm
mortality? But the young girl is told
that these are the tine-spun feelings of
Il sentimentalist, that the widow does
right to live in the world. and not. like
old mortality, among graves. Very
possibly she may not wish to marry
again, but she may not have buried all
her little vanities. her love of admira-
ton, her interest in human kind. espe-
cially mankind. in the grave with her
husband. Is it her fault if the men
prefer her society? Perhaps it is her
very indifference, having pleased one
man, whether others are pleased or
not, that is irresistible. OF the conf
dence which that fact Gives. Perhaps
1t is because that she never breaches
to them over somebody clSe'S shoulder;
because tobacco smoke does not affect
her; because she is not afraid to show
her interest; because, knowing their
weakness, she yet likes their society;
because her unprotected position and
her becoming weeds appeal to the man
ly heart; or because she has learned
tact in the scrimma@e witch her hus-
bands relations. Perhaps, through
having loved and lost. she has touched
a wider gamut of emotions. and her ex-
perience has made her more interesting
than the callow girl. Doubtless socie-
ty needs widows just as much as it does
single women and married people. to
give spice and variety to life, and it
would be . thousand pities if the Hin
doc custom were TO come into vogue in
our day and deprive some of us of q
grievance.

Strange THINGS in "CubY."

''An' then" said the Old Settler, of
Pike county, Pa, ''look to the hemis-
pear what lays off to the south of us.
Look at Cuby. Look at any O them
countries down thar The only way
they can tell New Years and Christmas
Day apart in them countries is because
New Years is notch or two warmer

gosh, they kin set raisin' O. new crop

gifts ripe ez often ez they durn please,

or ships EN- away to get rid of 'em.
Why, durn it, things can't help CROWN
in Cuby! You kin graft a slip offn a
bananner tree onto fence post down
thar, an in half a day it'll be blossom

you think you must surely be from

cause the degrees all climbs ups ards in
