story

Lincoln must be told
Tad fpw into rage, ran up s,airs to see
his mother himself, and, on fnling her out,
searched the place for his busy father.
Meanwhile the small objects OF his charity
waited at the lower door-for Peter had abso-
Mely refused to let them step inside.
The indignant boy spied his father just
crossing the yard, with head buwed, eyes to
the ground. talking earnestly to Mr.. Seward
as they walked to the department of state to-
gether lie cried out at once Father :
father can't bring those poor cold. hungry
boys home with me wh,u,t van ?

BY this time Tad bad his father By The

Another story the artist told was one
which he said he had himself told Lincoln
and which he had nsed on several occasions
on two Of which he had been interrupted
before he got TO the point ami said the
artist, If there anything which annoyed
Mr. Lincoln It was this IL caused him 10
always remember the man from whom he
got the story. The story was Of Missouri
man ~hO went to a stable TO get a horse to
take him 10 convention to which he was
going as a delegate with a hope of nomna-
ton. The stable keeper was Of different
political persuasion and gave him horse
which he calculated would break down be-
fore he got there. His calculation proved
true and the man lost the nomination. On his
return to the stable, the disappointed Mis-
souran asked the stableman if he was train
ing that horse for he arse The man said,
kinder guessed he wasn't" Well, 4" said
the man, If you are. he'll never do it. for
he so1lint geta corpse to the cemetery in
time for the resurrection"
This story Lincoln had twice tried TO tell,
once from the rear of train, and was car
riel away by 1t before he got to the point,
and a second time, when present at gun
testing when the gun was fired just as he
reached the Missouran's reply

The Ice-Water Habit.

In reference to the American hab it
of drinking freely of ice water I am
reminded, says writer in the Boston
Post, OF the way in which Boston
woman. who was at a hotel in York,
England, attracted the attention OF an
old lady and her daughter, sitting at
the same long table, by asking for a
glass OF this insidious compound. As
soon as the order was executed by the
waiter the Boston woman saw the
young English girl lean over to her
mother and ask in an audible tone if
she couldn't have some ice water.
The old lady drew herself up some
what stifly, and in very emphatic
voice, which almost seemed intended
as reproach to the stranger. whose
example had been felt by her daughter,
said: mo, my dear. that is very bad
American custom, believe that this
custom has gained ground in England
of late years, although ice water is not
brought to the tible as matter of
course, as with us, but has to be asked
for as a special accommodation. No
doubt climate has much to do with the
difference in the habits of the two peo-
pie, but can well understand the feel
ing with which an English lady OF the
old-fashioned sort would object to in
creasing her tendencies as refriger-
ant by drinking ice water.

Just Bioomad.

Come, Marie, take your feathered hat,
And shoulder-cape and piquant muff,
Some repartees, a laugh, a glance,
And in your sleeve sly rebuff
Come. Marie, come!
Come dancing down the stairs, and call
Some trite remark that sounds divine;
Be saucy at your mothers care
About your wraps; my aid decline
About your glove.
/ know not why foolish girl
Should seem so wise-to be so sweet;
Nor why, without a glimpse of soul,
You are creature quite complete,
And somewhat rare.
Let me but gaze upon your chez,
And catch the fervor of your eye,
And note the dimple at your lip
When declare that I shall die
Without your love!

Mrs. Kate Chas, sprague,

1t would seem at last as If fortune
was once more returning to Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, says Washington let
ter to the Albany Journal. Mrs. Chase,
as she now calls herself, had perhaps
the greatest social career in Washing
ton that any woman ever had, except
Mrs. Dolly Madison. When Chief
Justice Chase died his estate was not
supposed to be worth $50, 900, and Mrs
Chase, who inherited the bad head for
managing her own money affairs
which distinguished her father, man.
aged to get rid of her share of it long
ago, except the chief Justices country
place, Edgewood, near Washington.
Lately an electric street railway has
been extended out there, the suburban
farm has reached the neighborhood,
and Mrs Chase find herself the owner
OF one OF the most valuable properties
in the distr ct. Her son, Willie
Sprague, who went with his father in
the Sprague domestic trouble, and af-
terward married sister of the woman
his father married, has separated from
his wife and returned to his mother.
He is young fellow, not much more
than 81, and there is hope for him. A
report was circulated some time ago
that Mrs. Chase intended suing the
estate of Mr.. Conkling for some money
that Mr. Conkling had made an invest
rent for her and had been lost. Mr..
'Ccnkling, so it was said, had regularly
paid the interest on it, but when he
died there was no provision made for
the principal. 1t is known that
Mrs. Chase and Mr.. Conkling had not
been on speaking terms for some time
before the latters death. Mrs. Chase,
although older and somewhat broken,
is still the same imperial woman.
"Age can not wither or custom stale
her infinite variety" But she has to
u great degree given up society and
devotes herself wholly to her children.

KeeUIng tI,e Eve. RrIrht.

You want to make your eyes bright,
clear, have them get rid of feeling
that they are wearing out? Very well,
then. You must observe all the laws OF
health. You must be careful not to
read in either dim or glaring light.
If you don't rest enough your eyes will
look colorless, listless and expression
less. When you battle them as if they
were made of cast iron they will revenge
themselves on you by making you feel
as If there were small Jumps in them
and as If they were full of tears that
were only waiting for cause to be
shed. You never ought to let your
eyes get tired out, but when you do
sponge them with very warm water and
if possible so to bed.
There Is nothing that is grateful for
care shown it as the human body and
the thought given to your health will
cause it TO express its thanks in bright
eyes and skin that is white, clear and
firm.

.'What is all that aboutPn demanded

What is all that about?" demanded
the leader of the highwaymen.
"A couple of students practicing,"
Bevan replied YEARLY. A deep sill
ence followed, broken at last by the
sounder clicking out:
"The train has just left with twenty
eight policemen and citizens aboard.
80 K" Bevan answered.
1t would make the run in forty or
forty-five minutes. A distant church
bell chimed out IL o'clock Where
would he be at ~?
THE train is due in ten minu ties, 81
| said Smith. just at that moment Be-
van caught sound which escaped the
less practiced ears of his companion.
The train had arrived and stopped at
the curve!
His blood coursed like wildfre
through his veins; his heart thum ped
against his side as though it would
force its way out; great beads of
perspiration stood out on his forehead
like pearls; every nerve was alive with
anticipation.
1t came at last. Both doors of tho
station were burst in with tremendous
crash-a wild rush was made for the
inside office-a loud voice exclaimed:
Surrender in the name of the law!"
Betrayed" shouted the leader.
He placed the barrel of his revolver
to Bevan's ear-the hammer fell with
dull thud. It had missed fire! With
a curse he raised it in the air and
brought it down upon Beyan's. head
all was oblivion.
81 think he looks little better, DR..
Thorne," said sweet voice.
Bevan opened his eyes.
where am 1?n he asked. His voice
was low and weak.
"You must not talk. You are in the
hands of friends and all is WE'LL"
He soon found that he was in the
house of the president of the Hender-
son bank, and that sweet voice belong
ed to his daughter, Miss Marion
Claude.
Nursed by such hands his recovery
was rapid. When able to get around
he was provided with clerkship in
the bank, whence he has risen to the
present high position Of cashier.
The eight highwaymen were all cap
tured and tried, and sentenced to vari-
GUS terms in the state prison. The
ringleadcr received life sentence,
and is there still.
Bevan never found out how they had
obtained intelligence of the proposed
shipment OF the bullion.
Miss Claude? Oh, she is Mrs. Bevan
now.

How an American Vessel Was Lost
'.By the way" said an ex-naval off,
Ger, II will tell You a queer thing that
happened down there [Peru]. I have
no doubt you recollect the great tidal
wave of about twenty years ago. The
United States storeship Fredonia was
sunk and the man-of-war Wateree lifted
bodily and deposited several miles in
land, crossing railroad in its flight.
When it was proposed to get her to the
beach again, the natives wanted such
an exorbitant sum for cutting ont about
the railroad that the scheme was ADAM
doned. Some time afterward another
earthquake took place. which again
lifted the Waterree bodily, carried her
back over the railroad tracks, and
deposited her on the beach. It was
found, however, that her condition was
such that it would not pay to do any
thing with her, so she was left to rot
and be broken up by the inhabitants. -

A Ambient SouvenIr.

/ saw queer object in the window OF
William street store last week. It was
barnacle-covered vase about two feet
high, and though of an antique and
ancient pattern, would not of itself at
tract more than passing glance. Upon
two cards, which Were placed near it,
the history was told in English and
Greek. The vase had been found ut the
bottom OF the straits Of Salimis, where
the naval battle was fought between
Themistocles, admiral of Greece, and
Xerxes, king of Persia, 400 years before
Christ. The poor sponge diver who
found the relic received a slight reward
for his trouble, and the vase was shipped
to New York. Who knows but that it
may be "Reminiscences of the great
