had some difficulty in keeping Mr..
Mast from breaking the peace by taking
off his hat and giving three cheers for
the stars aud stripes.
By careful degrees and easy stages
led Mr.. Mast round to the westerly side &.
or father front, of the statue. at each
step he stopped and looked with freshly
kindled interest and a newly stirred
emotion, for each view struck him as a
new idea. Finally 1 turned him sud-
denly and let the full front view present
itself to his wondering gaze. 1t fairly
took him off his feet.
just then a guide came along and
explained that this statue was made
from bronze cannons captured ''by Ole
Hick nv hisself at the battle of Moor
Leans, - and pointed to the four can
mons ranged about the pedestal to prove
the story.
Mr.. Mast, in a bewildered sort of way +,
asked:
"Did 1 understand you to say the
statue was made from these four cannons
here?''
We were SO near the White house that
Mr.. Mast wanted to step over and take q
look at it.
AS we approached the main portico we
saw little child playing under the
watchful eye of its nurse. A tall man,
with ofioe-hungry loko, came up the
walk. He turned his eyes toward the

philosopher who had lived long enough

see this great philosophic truth, how
happy the world might bel If in the

that somewhere on this pedestal there
ought to be an admonition to passersby

if the thought of this great over
sight on the part of that enterprising
American corporation offended his art
tistio sensibilities, Mr.. Mast walked
sadly away.

! about in fighting toys, and stepped into
a side room to make herself ready. Pres
emily she came forth attired in the same
manner as at the gymnasium, and push

| pair of boxing gloves, squared
off before the herculean professor.
For some moments the spat of the gloves
kept up regular music, the girl lead

professor, at her invitation, landing
firmly on her pretty face. Agile as a
cat and strong as an Indian, the fair
fighter danced gracefully about, darting
forward and jabbing vicious blow at
the teachers nose and getting away with
light tap on the jaw. Three rounds of
two minutes each satisfied the athletic
maiden and then the professor called his
wife from upstairs to give her rubbing
down.
When she appeared in her street
clothes again there was an monumental
straIghtness about her dark brown hair,
but her face was as clear and healthy as
rose leaf, and she stepped about like a.
young bantam. She next drove TO
restaurant and drank bottle of stout
and ate hard cracker. After this sl8e
went home and lay down for half an
hour. For luncheon she had steak,
baked potatoes, rolls and ale. AtS4
