Captivated the President
fFrom the Lynchburg virginian.l ]


Miss Lucy r. Buck, young lady of Front
Royal Va, recently wrote to Grover Cleveland,
asking sillzen neclltie. for crazy quilt, to be
made and sold for the benefit of the poor. In
reply, she received pleasant autograph letter
from the President, enclosing an elegant tie for
the purpose named. Miss Bucks letter was
Eharmingly written in verse. Ithasneyerb been
published Before, and is as follows:
Ny dear Mr.. Cleveland, I know it's shame
To bother you now, but I IN not to blame
AT least not SO much, for Jack is the one
who first put me up to the thing have done.
He told me, last night If I'd make for the Fair
A crazy-patch quilt and put in square
OF something that Cleveland had wore he would
buy
The thing for himself, no matter how high
The price might set. And, so, don't you sec
If 1 manage this plan, how nice II will be?
Jack gives a neat sum to our Fair for the Poor
Receiving instead what he values far more
And then, when I marry dear Jack. It is plain
TN own both the quilt and memento again.
Now, dear Mr.. Cleveland. wont you Just ask
Your sister to send me Ctis not much of taSk)
An old silken necktie. or, handkerchief say
Just a fragment of something you've worn any
day
To lend to my handiwork dignity due7
And. then, may the Fatesmos kindly help you
To piece atthe patchwork yOu'Uctakcnin in hand
And make of each section in all our greatland
A square that will blend in color and tone
With those that surround, and, So one by one
The National crazy-squnres, crazy no more
Grow into symmetry ne'er known before!
And still something better Iwish. May you win
Some true, earnest woman who, through thics,
and thin,
WIN follow your fortunes as I'll follow Jacks
And. not any further your patience to tax,
I will close, just adding this P. s. to say
If your own Secretary be out of the way
Or, too much engaged my petition to road
Because it is small Just tell him to heed
This admonition-It never is wise
The day of small things to neglect or dicspisc,
For something, perhaps, in years not remote
We women may have legal right to vote
And then if he wished to be Prcsident-he
Might covet the aid of cen poor little INC.
'Verbum est" is the cue. Adicu, may you be
As happy Us good, prays your friend,

At last it was all in, piled snug and
close, with careful reference to makl
ing it as difficult as possible to get is
out, and then we went home to. our
beds, the lamest, achingest set OF
boys ever seen.
Most of US managed t. be hanging
about the street at the time when Pat
came with his horses next morning To
hitch on to his load; but we MISSED
the excitement we had hoped f6f!
He went into the deacon's house for
few moments, then came out and
drove away his empty wagon in tho
most matter-ot-fact way imaginable,
We boys were the puzzled ones.
How we did worry our braitis with
guesses and surmises as to how the
matter could have been settled. we
said nothing about it however, to anyi
body. and would have bccn glad to
forget it ourselves; but there Nas a
merry twinkle in tho deac6h's ey6
every time he met us which kept it
in our minds.
At last We resolved to get at the
secret.
Z" How was itabout that wood, anYs
way, deacon?"
The little old gentleman laughed
all over.
Why, bless your hearts, bo5sI
I'm glad you've given me a chance of
thanking you for that piece OF work.
You've all been so modest concerning
it. 1 hated to speak. Good thing
to see boys so modest when they've
been doing Kindness. Found it d
mighty tough job, didn't yod7 i
could see that when took a peep oGt
that night, and felt just like taking
hold and giving a lift; but I knew
you were doing 1T to surprise INC, and
l didn't want TO spoil it. Quiet as
mice, too, you were; didn't want to
be disturbing nobody. Yes; tougE-
est kind of n job! Why boys, when
1 bought that load of Pat that evening
we both said it would be tug to get
it in, and we'd need good daylight
for it; so we left 1t standing over
night -
Deacon" cried Harry Grant, eff
you'll agree never to speak of that
work again, we boys'll agree to come
over and saw and split and pile the
next load you buy
And we did.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Joke on the Deacon.

I'm proof against you this year,
boys. Every door and gate on the
place is locked up tight. -
Deacon Bump stood at his gate,
With good-humored smile, as VIC
boys went along in the carly evening,
intent on playing HoIlowe'en jokes
upon such ncighhors as might have
left us an opportunity.
"That isn't fair, deacon. You
ought to have left us little chance.
Couldn't do it. I'm getting too
old, you sec, to be trotting all over
the town after my traps. Go long
with you all. You won't find any
thing loose here.''
We went on and had the usual
amount of sport, playing the same
old tricks.
Passing the dcacon's on our way
back We stopped on pcrceiving that
tho lights were out.
1t would be jolly to play the good
old soul some sort of trick after all
his care-wouldn' it?'' said Harry
Grant.
",Tip-top. Can't wo?' said
another.
1t was a regular dare to us. We
ought to do something.
We consulted.
On the other side of the quiet village
street stood stored a wagon, loaded
with cord wood, large and heavy.
I'll tell you," said Jim Hart
" Let's pile that wood-the whole
load-in the deacon's wood-shed. 1t
would be the best thing out. He'd
be sure to get into first-c1ass scrim-
mage with that cross-graincd Pat Ma
lony. Both of them would be COM
pletely dumbfodnded as to how it got
there, and when they came to settle
as to how it was to he got out there
would be no end of fun"
1t was soon agreed.
As we expected, we found the dea-
cons gate as well as his wood-door
locked; but we were out for lark
and never thought of stopping for the
difficulties in our way.
a load of brick lay inside the gate.
exactly in our path, making it neces-
sary to take an unpleasant round
among some thorny wild gooseber-
ries.
At it we went. Two boys climbed
in the window of the wood-shed: two
lifted the wood from the wagon and
passed it over the fence, while the
remainder of the force stumbled with
it among bricks and bushes, and
hoisted it into the small window.
Oh, what a task that wasl We
worked like beavers, like horses, like
galley slaves; or, if there is anything
in the world which works harder, we
worked like that. Lifting, stretch
ing, carrying, with Iacerated hands
and torn clothes, if ever boys were
made to work for any useful end as
we worked that night for fun they
would surely be considered proper
subjects for the consideration of the
society for the preVentation of cruelty
to boys.
g Hist!!'' said jim. holding up a
@arding hand, when we were about
half done.
We all held our breaths, and list
ened in dismay.
Z" I thought 1 heard something like
that jolly little chuckIe the deacon
always gives when he is amused, y
whispered Sam, "but it couldn'thave
been"
1t isn't laughing we'd be likely
to hear from the deacon just now, y
said another.
"No. He can scold, though,
when he takes a notion To.
