A ClNNY OLD LADY.


An amusing story was told mo recently as hav-
A worthy and moderately wealthy old lady in hcr
declining years occupied hei leisure In making silk
patchwork quilts This was before tho idocy OF tho
modern "crazy quilt" had been sent as Judgment
upon tho sinful world. and these productions wero
hldeous affairs wherein scraps OF silk were labor
fously patched together In geOmetIfcal patterns.
These quilts regularly donated to tho annual
fairs whereby tho church to which tho old lady be-
onged endeavored to replenish its scantlly furnished
were apt to DO rahled off In ignominious fashion at
tho close OF the fair much to the chagrin OF the
nice old lady, who was deeply ttngcd with the femi-
nine feeling Of emulation TO have her productions
bought eagerly. Now the nlco old lady was o shrcwd
ard csnny person, and day, just before Ito
tme Of tho annual fair, she sent for her lawyer and
had him add o cOdic TO her will, whereby tho sum
Of s25 fer each guilt was bequcathcd 70 tho person
who after that date should buy her quilts at tho
srangeness OF tho prov sion. and at first wondered
II the old lady were not beginning to Impair her
faculties. On second thought. however, no smiled
to himself and drew tho cOdic directed, cheer
fully assuring his client that her njDnctons to strict
secrecy should no faithfully observed.
For six years the dear old lady lived TO bestow
upon tho parish her blessing and silk Quilt annual
", tho gift being thrftily made to take the place
Of larger donations solicited II not expected. For
bought tho silk quilt the very fist day Of tho
fair, and whom the canny old lady was gathered TO
her forrmOthers, tho lawyer supposed he had secured
for his sister the sum Of 1850. But the canny old
lady had neatly cut tho cOdIcit from the WILL aud
his sister was out OF pocket tho price OF six very
unsatis factory silk quilts. Tho tale has moral

whether he understood the talk referring to Amer

is all about the bird Of freedom and that sort OF
bunkum" Lord Rosebery tells me that nobody
could be more surprised than he was on reading
this story. He has no recollection of saying any
thing Of the kind. Whether he said it or not does
not greatly matter The dinner took place many
years ago. Then, as now Lord Rosebery was
known as q sincere friend to America; country
which he has visited four or five times. where he
has many friends, which he admires as heartily as
