How Our Next President HELPED u
Poor Family That was Turned In
TO the Street. 700 ..
The following incident concerning our next
President has the merit of not only being true,
but hitherto unpublished, like most OF the
good deeds of "the great political magnet"
as Judge Chase used to call Blaine;
twas the custom OF that gentlemen, while
Speaker OF the House, TO walk from his resi-
dence, on Fifteenth street, near !, In Washing
say mile and q half. He always took the
same route, which was naturally along tho
quietest and least ofllce.hunter frequented
Btreet.
One morning, In the winter OF rs, tho
writer was piodding along through heavy
fall OF snow In one OF the most deserted thor
tall form OF "the Speaker" ahead. The
feathery Snow prevented the footsteps OF
either from being heard. AS the writer
reached u corner around which Mr.. Blaine
had turned he saw that tho latter had stopped,
suddenly transhxed by scene on tho other
side OF the way.
house stood sorrowful. group enough. A
woman or about forty, alfred In the weeds OF
widow, was sobbing bitterly on the shoulder
OF little girl, who strove in vain TO comfort
her. Three other small children, with wet
eyes aud sorrow.strtcken faces, stared visit
fully at their late home, while a meager array
OF boxes and utensils piled on the pavement,
completed tho self'eyident story. The poor
family had tust boon turned into the wintry
street by some pitiless landlord. Pausiug
lust long enough 10 take 10 thepicture, Blaine
strobe impatiently across the street and, with.
outa word, began fumbling around tho lock
or the door.
"You can't open It, sir" said the shivering
little girl. "The man locked It and went
away"
without word, the statesman walked rap
Idly away. Whom short distance down the
street he turned and said, brusquely
"No such thing. The keys In the door. ]
saw II myself"
In establishment one of the children ran to
the door and cried
'Mamma, It isn't here at ALL. There's moth
ing but a bit OF paper. Seel"
And the poor woman took and untwlsted q
nfiy.dollar greenback.
And now Tor the essence OF the story-for
every good story has one, as the rose Is known
by lis perfume. The poor woman never knew
who her helper was, nor why the Sergeant'at.
Arms OF the House called not long after aud
onered her eldest boy pages position sup
on the hill" and the writer has more than
once seen Mr.. Blaine 60 clear around the same
block rather than pass that little house again.

GEORGE H. LEWIS.

A False Report About HIS Return.
There was rumor on the streets this alter
neon that Mr.. George II. Lewis, the missing
broker, had returned homo and would begin
at once to settle with the parties whose money
he invested. A large number OF Lewis late
customers were eager TO know the truth of the
STORY, but when making inquiry found that
there was no foundation for tho rumor. Lewis
WAS heard from two weeks ago, and stated In
n letter that II was his intention to come to
Washington at an early day.
