Aver me TUutFS " We NATION
1t will seem odd to you at frs, Mr.. Presi-
dent, after the affairs of the nation have
been put aside for the day and the govern
ment proof safe locked up for the night,
to go up TO your houdoir and converse with
a bride with one corner of her mouth full Of
pins "A man may write pretty fair mes
sage, to congress, one that will be accepted
and printed all over the country, and yet he
may not be fitted to hold conversation with
one corner of a womans mouth while the
other is filled with pins TO some mon it is
given to be great as sta eslnen, while to
others it is given to be fluent conversation
aIists under these circumstances
NJ. President, may be taking a great
liberty in writing 10 you and touching upon
your private affairs but l noticed that
everybo y else was doing it. and SO have
nerved my elf up to write to you, having
once been a married man myself, though
not under TIE same circum stances. When |
was married 1 was only plain justice of
The peace, p!o1ding quietly along an | s.rv-
ing to do my duty. You was then sheriff
of your county Little did we think in
those days That now you would be freshly
married pr, silent and l the author OF se~-
sral pieces winch have beel printed in the
papers, Little did we think ten, when 1
was a justice of the peace in Wyoming and
you q sher II IN New York, that to-day your
timothy lawn would b. kicked all TO ieces
by your admirlng constituents, while |
would be known and lowell wherever the
Engl sh language is tempered with.
SO we have risen together, you to point
from which you may be easily observed and
fiyed alive by the n,w p rIers, while l am
the same pleasant, unassumng, gentlemanly
I'll s &l,oN
justice of the peace and comparatively I'M
kEoNn.
cannot close this letter without ex-
pressing a wish that your married life may
be joyous one, as the paper Of Laramie has
said, "and that no ciout may ever come 10
mar the horizon of your we ided bliss" This
sentence is not my own. l copy it YER
balm from a wedding notice OF my own
written By We tern journalist who is now
at the o Woman's home.)
Mr.. President, hope you will not feel that
l have been too forward in writing to you
per- onally over my own name. mean to
DO what is best for you. You can truly say
that all L have ever done i'll this way has
been for your good. Ispeak in a plain way
sometimes but l don't beat about The bush

crossed bills sent to you for a couple Of
weeks. That's the way was. to d all my
creditors to withhold their engroSssd bills

1t looks like silver. Do not let your wife
Lear on too hard when she polishes it. I
