return, when school opens, by a re-

satisfaction.

WHY wATTERsON Is SAD.
The Effect His Congressional Service
Had Upon Him.

"Do you notice." asked the gentle
man from Philadelphia, ''what serious,
melancholy, almost morose look Henry
Watterson's face wearsp That is the
result of his experience rs congress
man. His district once consented, al
most unanimously, that he should come
to congress. Watterson had not fairly
settled himself in Washington before
an old lady down in Tennessee, who
had known him when he was a boy,
wrote to him for some seeds.
He asked n friendly old member
from New York as to the formula TO be
used in getting seeds, and was inform
ed that he must write to the commits
sioner of agriculture, telling what he
wanted and giving the address to which
he wanted seed sent. He did write,
and, either through his own careless
wording of the note or through some
body's mistake at the agricultural de-
partment, Watterson's entire supply
of seeds went to the old lady in Ten
nessee. There were several sacks full
of them. In few DAYS letters began
TO come by the score from Watterson's
own constituents, each one demanding
seeds. When he wrote to the commits
sioner of agriculture he was informed
that his supply was exhausted. He
again sought the advice of his friend,
the New York member. and explained
the situation. The New York man told
HIM that there was but one course 10
pursue, and that was to borrow seed
from members who represented only
commercial and manufacturing dis
tricts.
From that time on until congress
adjourned sine die, during all business
hours, Watterson devoted himself TO
borrowing seeds. That is the reason
so many people never knew that he was
in congress. He had to borrow seed.
That is the reason, also, why Waiter
sons face wears cast of gloom He
used to smile as we'll as any other man
before he became congressman, and
he has smiled since. but not in Wash
ington. The sight of the city always
affects him unpleasantly, and they say
that occasionally when he is just about
to convince some Pennsylvania con-
gresham that nothing but free trade
will now save this wretched country he
stops short in his argument, and, with
a far-away look in his eye, he asks the
loan of sack of seed. y Washington

Anccdote About a Queen.

The arrival in this city OF that Queen
Of Tahiti" who was no Queen of Tahiti
at all, reminds me of a story the Queen
dowager Emma of the Hawaiian Is
lands told me of her experience the
first time she visited San Francisco.
Emma" as she is Familiarity but al
ways respectfully spoken of by her
people, is three-quarters white" as
the EXPRESSION goes, being the daughter
of an English father and a "half-white"
(Hawaiian and English) mother. She
is therefore not darker than n decided
ly brunette Caucasian. In her suite OF
females were number of half-white
and pure-blooded Hawaiians. One OF
the latter was strapping big girl,
with the independent swagger and up
right carriage peculiar to Sandwich Is
land women of all glasses, and this wo-
man nearly every one here who saw
the party insisted upon was the queen.
She was big and very dark, which
satisfied the popular idea concerning
Emma, better than the Queens own
proper description: Petite in person
and comparatively light in complexion.
'Lalani''-that was the big girls name
received the homage of clerks, shop
people, chambermaids, walters, bell
boys, and the uniformed public gener-
ally with such evidences of royal con-
descension rs she thought the occasion
demanded. being encouraged in main
tanning the common delusion by the
Queen, who thus escaped in and out OF
the hotel and stores, etc, unnoticed
and Inconvenience. The party was in
fashionable dry goods house one day,
when, as usual, the crowd was thickest
around Lalani, and thinnest about EN-
ma. The former, seeing some particu-
larly rich and dazzlingly bright silk
and velvet, ordered n liberal supply fol
a dress, to be sent to her hotel.
.'And when shall / send the bill,
your MajestyP" inquired the ever-cau-
toned though obsequious salesman.
"Oh, never mind about that; Lalani
will pay the cash now," replied Lalani
herself, and then, attracting the Queens
attention by speaking in native to her,
added in English: Here, Lalani, see
what my bill is and pay it, please"
To have rebuked the hussy there
would have made a scene, but that
consideration aside, the splendid as.
surance of the girl, and the sight of the
half-grinning, half-affrighted faces OF
the other women in the suite, drove
out of her mind whatever indignation
the Queen may have felt. Stepping to
the salesman, she inquired, "How
much, please"
The Queen rather choked at the an.
swer, Zone hundred and fifteen dol
lars, please" but swallowing heI
amazement the best she could, pro
ceeded to settle the bill in good gold
coin, while the triumphant and only
slightly trembling real Lalani regarded
the success of her joke in apparently
| queenly indifference to such trifles as
dry goods bills.
