Anecdote of Mrs. Cleveland.

Paul Smith, the Adirondack
mountain hotel keeper, who has had
the good fortune to entertain Presi-
dent Cleveland and party so fre-
quently when On their summer
jaunts, is making visit to the me-
tropolis, and is at the Grand Union.
lie is jovial, chatty old fatty, and
when it comes to talking about Mrs.
Cleveland the jolly old fellow pours
fourth eulogy as long as 1t is en-
PhatIc.
"Now. I'll tell you what a gool,
kind little woman she is," he said
the other evening, shy relating a
little incident that occurred during
the presidents last visit to the noun
tains. He was at the time st the
Prospect House, on Saranac lake.
Among the guests over at Miller's
hotel, twenty miles away, was wo-
man and her 12-year old daughter.
The little girl was stone blind.
When she heard of the presidents
presence IN the vicinity she pleaded
with her mamma to he taken to him
so that she coull shake MIN by the
hand. After continued entreaties
the child's mother acceded to her
wishes, and one pleasant afternoon
the two arrived at the Prospect
House. The president was in at
dinner at the time, with his wife and
DR.. Ward, and so the little girl and
her mother waited in the reception
room. The little girls anticipated
pleasure received a serious set back,
however, and she was taken with
deathly sick headache and had to
seek rest on lounge in the room.
The fatigue of the journey was evil
IDENTIFY too much for her.
"While she was in this position
Mrs. Cleveland came out from din
ner and entered the apartment She
inquired after the little girls tropb
lie, and then retiring for few mo-
ments returned with camphor and
other articles for the child's relief.
She bathed the little sufferers head,
and under her kindly mrnistratlons
the child soon recovered fair de-
gree of good spirits.
"tIsn't it bad,' said the little
girl, Just when 1 have chance to
shake hands with the president that
L should be taken with this sick
headache.
"Wcll, you shall shake hands
with him any way, little one, replied
Mrs. Cleveland.
''She then left the room and re-
turned shortly, escorliug The presi-
dent and DR.. Ward. And the vicI-
tors made tie child sapEemcly hap
by l,y sitting at her side for half an
hour or more. .''-Neey York San.

Twas the Kind Word You
Spoke that Saved nc"

Rosa look at that Eorrid drum
ken man sitting on the curbstone, do
come across the street, for wouldn't
pass him for anything" and Mary
ran away as fast as her feet could
carry her.
Now, Rosa was afraid, too but the
song she had been learning that day
was still fresh in her memory.
Speak a kind word when you can,
she had been singing, and the man
before her, with his head bent on
his hands, looked forlorn and wretch
ed, so badly Ia need of a kind word,
that she went a little nearer, and
said, tlm'dly, 'Poor man. l am
sorry fer you. Can do any yiLing
to help you"'
He raised his head, looked at her
in surprise, and his haggard face and
despairing eyes almost caused her to
ely for pity.
"Little girl, your kind words have
helped me already. / never expect
ed TO hear any again, for | am with
out friend on earth"
"But God will be your friend, if
you will ask him. said Rosa, softly,
going nearer still, while Mary beck
oned anxiously for her to come away.
''DId you ever ask hIm!" continued
Rosa.
'No; 1 have heen SHINING against
him all my life," groaned the poor
man.
Poor mani Let Sod he your
friend. He can do everything for
you. am your friend, but l can't
do anything kut speak kind
word'
''Dariing LYLE girl, that kind word
has saved me. Good-bY!" and he
held out his shaking hand Rosa
was not afraid now, and she placed
her plump little hand in his, and as
he bent down and kissed it two hot
tears fell upon it. Then he went
away, and Rosa rejolned her COM
panion.

Horse Notes.

However great the care horses
may have had during the winter,
they need TO be set at work very
cautiously.
Allow the horses long incoming,
and give a good rubbing down when
they are through work for the day.
"Steady pulling doesn't hear on
CALLED shoulders and chafed sides"
thought The horse while the unoiled
harness was buckled on.
If the horses are frisky do not
turn them in the lot together while
they are fresh sbod. They are apt
to lhjure each other with the sharp
caiks.
Calls are rarely seen on the horses
shoulders bathed night and morning
with strong salt water, beginning a
month before the spring blowing.
In warm weather use sweat-pads un-
der the collars.
Having been deprived of a large
share of exercise for a long time,
horses will not be able to do a full
days work at first, as their muscles
need that strength which only judi
eious exercise can give.

A Plea For The Farmer.

There is no talk Of an ''eight hours
a day system for the farmer. He
is his own boss, but his margins are
so close that with the best of man
agement he is compelled to toll from
'early morn till dewy eve" to ''make
ends meet" In his misfortune, it
would seem the national law-making
power has come to his relief by pro-
tecting some of his products with a
tariff, so as to cut off foreign pro-
ducts from the privilege Of com
peting with him in the market. This
protection, however, is sham, a
delus.on. The American farmer is
an exporter. He is so numerous,
and the ground yields him such a
bountIful harvest that he has more
to sell of farm products than is need
ed for home consumption. He is
the victim of gamblers, boards of
trade, bucket shops and dealers in
futures, who bet that at such time
his wheat, corn and oats Will be
worth so much. The winning party
is on the side as rule that has the
most money. He IS gored by the
'bulIs'' or squeezed by the "bears"
at pleasure, Till bis. life is many
times almost extinct; still, he must

the farmer is for the law makers to
put him on an equal footing with
other people. Give him a chance
by relieving him of having to pay so
much more for his clothing, and
every implement of farm machinery
at home manufactures than he could
get the same for at foreign facto-
ries.
By this We do not mean that q
system of free trade should be in
augurated. This is impolitic, if not
impossible, while the government
has debts to pay and current ex-
penses TO meet. But the tariff rate
should not be so exhorbitant as to
create large animal surplus fin the
national treasury, and also work
hardship for the farmer, upon whose
products tariff works no advantage.
Let the burden of taxation be equal
ly divided. Let the gambling in
stitutions which make or unmake the
price of grain and other farm pro-
ducts as suits their convenience all
be abolished and forbidden to ever
reorganize in this country. Then an
era OF prosperity would dawn upon
the agricultural classes, which in a
few years would enable them to lift
the mortgages on their farms, which
hang like dark pail upon them,
paralyzing their best efforts.

''Oh, you queer creaturel how
could you let that awful,looking man
take hold of your hand? L thought
he was going to eat you up when he
bent down bis head" was Mary's
greeting.
Il was afraid at first, Mary, bat /
am so glad spoke to him. Only
think he says my kind words have
saved him.
"Well, he never would be saved
if it depended on my kind words,
for I always run away from such
folks" replied Mary.
Years after. stranger, a noble,
silver haired old man, was address
Jag Sunday school, and telling the
scholars always to be kind to the
frIendless and distressed ones, espe-
cially the drunkard, ''for when /
was friendless, sinful and wretched,"
said he, "God sent dear child to
speak kind word that saved me-"
When the school closed, a Young
lady held out her hand to him and
with tears in her eyes, asked: "Sir,
do you not know me?" He looked
at her long and earnestly, and then
taking both hands in his, he said
solemnly and slowly: Eyes, dear
madam, twas the kind words you
spoke that saved mel" And Rosa
wept for gIadness. Dear friends,
"speak kind word" when you can.

a Tender Tale.

Our readers are quite familiar
with the suffering caused by the re-
cent severe storms, and many incl
dents have been gwen in the press.
Des Moines Leader tells the follow
ing true story, and its tender pathos
will strike a tender cord in many n
heart. 1t is only touch of nature.
but il is a dead heart which will not
be affected by it:
They were a family of father,
mother and three small children.
They had taken the train at Grinnell,
on the Iowa Central and were en-
route from Missouri to their home in
st. Paul. Their plain neat dress
told uf their moderate circumstances
in life. The youngest child, sweet
baby Of only two years, was ill, and
the journey seemed long TO the anx-
ious mother. Down frOm the home
of the ice king came the wild storm,
but the train fought its way desper-
ately, and finally reached Lyle, in
the southern edge of Minnesota.
Farther progress was impossible.
Grains all abandoned" was the
unwelcome message that came over
the wire. Night passed and morn
ing came and night again. For four
days the anxious parents watched
the young life gong out into the un-
known. Finally word came that the
first train would go north IN an hour.
AZ it pulled out of Lyle there were
in the coach, father, mother and
two children. The father carried in
his arms a little bundle tenderly
wrapped in shawl. The conductor
came through to collect the tickets.
He was feeling jolly, evidently glad
to be on the road again. Got your
fortune in that bundle?" be jocosely
remarked, to the passenger. A tear
stole down the fathers brouzed
CucSh anu tIiS SpuuuStOl pSS9hS
suddenly sober. Placing his hands
upon the bundle he started back,
for he felt tiny baby arm through
the shawl. EYES," said the father,
whose lips were quiverlng. 1T is
our baby. We wanted to get home
before she died, but the storm came
and we could not" The conductor
turned back a corner of the shawl
and gazed a moment at the still white
face, from which even death could
not drive the cunning dlmples of the
baby smile. Suddenly he thought
of the company regulations and
the law prohibiting the carrying of
the dead upon the trains. In halt
ing sentences he explained the case
to the father saying that he could
only take it to the next station.
They were penniless and to be put
off among strangers in such climate
with the little dead child in their
care seemed like q cruel hardship to
them. The father looked dazcd and
4 cry of despair broke from the
mothers trembling lips. The con-
ductor was scarcely less affected.
STOPPING down, he said in low, al
most inaudAble tone: 81 don't know
what the law will do with me, and l
don't care very much. have chill
dren of my own at honc. l guess

baby Is sleeping now where It's moth

little mound in the spring time, and
there is one railway conductor whose
name will be ever gratefully remem-
bered in one humble st. : aul cot
