politicians as to Senator Tellfi's cabinet
suggestions and recommendations to
the president-elect. One is that he
came to advocate Mr.. B,aue's appoint

the other, that he advised against Mr;
Blaine entering the cabinet. The real

learned that Senator Teller is an ardent
supporter of ex-senator Piatt, and ililS

They did not seek to secure an eXpr'S-
sion from the president-elect. but merely
to urge his consideration of the merits
Of their distinguished cOuntryman and
the claims of the border states for rccog-
milton. An accident occurred THIS ait
ernoon that afforded the general and
his household considerable amusement.
but to one Of the participants it was
quite serious matter. As Gen. liar
rison happened to be passing through
the hail he observed little
girl come up the path and
ring the bell. He opened the door and
stranger to him and only about ten
years old, and CARR, small bundle Ul
papers. She locked up az the president
elect as she entered with evident hesita-
ton and embarrassment, but was
quickly assured when she heard him
kindly say. ''Well. little girl, what can
do for y0u?' Taking the generals eN-
tended hand she enquirrd, doubtlngly:
lis this President larrison?'' 'NotrX-
acty President HARRISON. little girl, but
am Mr.. Harrison. if it is he you wish
to See.' ''les, | came To see Gen. OF
President Harrison and know you are
the gentleman. ! want You to
HELP ME WIN THIS PRIZE"
Saying this the little stranger handed
the general the package of papers.
''You want me to help You win prize?
What kind of a prize is it?' asked the
general as he adjusted his glasses and
examined the papers. But no further
explanation was necessary IRON the IN
nocent SOlicitOr-the general took the
matter in at glance as he saw the
words secretary OF state" secretary
of treasury secretary of war. etc.
1t was one of those numerous blanks

the country Offering a prize OF SlOU to
the person who names the new
tdblliti ny SiNN u ~A't
CHANGING over the paper, the
general returned it his youthful visitor,
stating that the prize offered was com
petitive prize. and il would be unf iT 10
the others for him to fill out blank.
adding besides, "My little friend. !
could not help you to win the prize now
90 not know aS much about this matter
as the newspaper gentlemen do" This
was all Greek to the little prize winner.
She knew she had been refused and was
greatly disappointed, in fact almost TO
the point of bursting into tears as she
reluctantly took back the paper. But
the general patted her atfectonately
and finally made her understand that his
refusal To fill out the blank arose
from 10 unfriendllncsS toward her. and
having thus lightened the burden of her
disappointment, he accompanied his
little unknown guest out on the steps
and bid her good bye. About a dozen
letters have recently arrived in the gen
erals mail containing these prize cabi-
net blanks. the writers urgently re-
Questing the general to kindly fill them
out and return. This experience of the
little girl will serve as reply TO such
solicitations for Gen. llarrson'S par
tiality; for children is well known, and
If he could not or would not be moved
by such an appeal as he had to-day. il is
useless for others to waste postage III
their efforts.
