had remembered stories wherein little

or rich banker and been Immediately
taken into partnership. So Theodore
stepped up to the door of the brokers'
private room and said:
"Please, sir, here's scent piece
found on the floor"

STORY OF JACKSON AND BENTON.
One evening ct the White House the
conversation drifted to Benton, and Mr..

President jackson. When Benton came
to Missouri he was at feud with jack

of Benton coming to Missouri. They
had not met for years, until jackson
was President and Benton Senator from
Missouri. at was in this room," said
President Lincoln, "that their first
meeting took place. Jackson was seated
at this very table when the door yonder
swung open and Benton stalked in and
stood silently in the middle of the floor.
Jackson looked up and recognized him
at once, and recollected at the same time
that he had no weapon to defend him.
self. Equally silently he got up, walked
TO the door, locked it and put the key
in his pocket, and went back to his seat.
Then he said, "Does this mean war or

1t means peace, said Benton.
jackson again arose, walked to the
door, unlocked it, came back to his seat,
and then said, "Ool. Benton, I am
pleased to see you. Take chair"
All this time Benton was standing
statuesquely in the center Of the room,
never moving muscle while Jackson
was locking and unlocking the door, and
the reconciliation between the two gen.
tlemen was complete. 1t simply showed
the dramatic character of the man. -
