pins. A man may write pretty fair mes
sage 10 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 woman's mouth while the

/ cannot close this letter without ex-
pressing wish that your married life may
be joyous one, as the paper of Laramie has
said, "and that no cloud may ever come TO
mar the horizon of your welded bliss. " This
sentence is not my own. I copy it ver-

written by western journalist who is now
at the Old Woman's home.)
Mr. President, I hope you will not feel that
/ have been too forward in writing to you
personally over nay own name mean to
do what is best for you. You can truly say
that all / have ever done in this way has
been for your good. Ispeak in plain way
sometimes, but don't beat about The bush.

crossed bills sent to you for couple of
weeks. That's the way was. tod all my
creditors to withhold their engrossed bills
during my honeymoon, as was otherwise
engrossed. This remark made ma a great
