He Travelled in Style with Four Horses
and a Coach. Et@
The custom of presidential touring
dates back to Washington. He had
the most style about him of all the
presidents, and he rode about the coun-
try IN cream-colored chariot drawn
by four horses and accompanied by
positions and outriders. He had a
regular retinue of followers, and the
letters of the times show that many of
his tours were taken for political rea-
sons. He appreciated the value of
style and he was very careful as to his
equipage. He once whipped a stable
boy because he did not clean his horses
quite as well as he thought they ought
to be cleaned and made his hostlers
wash the teeth of his horses and
clean them with toothpicks daily. 1t
was his test of a well groomed horse to
rub him over with his fine pocket
handkerchief and if a bit of dust came
OIL or the linen was soiled in the least
the horse had to be gone over again.
His first tour after he assumed the
presidency was a trip to New England,
which he took in connection with his
private secretary, six servants and
some noted men. He started from
New York and Alexander Hamilton
and Chief Justice Jay escorted him out
of the city. At this time he visited
Boston, but he skipped Rhode Island,
which was then out of the union
Washington's second tour was taken
from Philadelphia in 1871. At this
time he went to the south, and took a
tour through the southern states. He
had fine turnout as usual, and he had
a saddle horse led with his coach, in
order that he might rest himself by
riding on horseback when he got tired.
He had his whole tour outlined before
he started, and his cabinet ministers
had a memorandum of his itinerary,
and his private secretary says that he
planned the trip so well that he carried
this memorandum out to the letter.
He was fast traveller, and during
this trip he covered nearly l, 700 miles
in sixty-six days with one set of horses
tie carried good supply of provisions
with him, but he had no idea of the
luxuries of the colored porter who can
mix a cocktail or get up dish of
terrapin on half hours notice.

He Presents Pistol to q Hotel Clerks
...-.- Head.
You see, said the clerk of a. San
Francisco hotel, an old mining man
took room the other night and some
hours afterward, as was doing be-
hind the desk-for I was tired was
startled by hearing footsteps shutting
down the stairs. [ looked up and saw
my friend the mining man with a six
shooter in his right hand. He walked
over toward me, his eyes staring blind
ly and almost staring out of their SOCK
cts. It is hard to tell what thoughts
flashed through my brain as he ap-
preached. What could he mean and
was alone with maniac?
He walked up to my desk and took
deliberate aim at me. I expected him
to follow the action with couple of
shots and so I lodged down behind my
desk and rang for the police. '.Fork
over that $500 young fellow, " he cried.
''You can't run in any cold deck on
me and get away with the spoils'' OF
course, knew the situation immedi-
ately. He had been ''done up'' in a
game by some card sharps and had
been dreaming the matter over until
the operations of his mind led him in
his sleep to seek redress for his griev-
ances.
[ don't know why he tackled me,
but perhaps the man who had worked
him was good-looking-and something
like me in facial appearance. What
did | do? knew it would take some
moments for the police to arrive and
time was very precious just then.
'Ill pay you the money" yelled.
''Put down that pistol and you can
have your blasted three hundred"
The miner lowered his weapon. ssCome
this way" said l. and he followed me
into the barroom. Behind the bar
was a big dish of water. fumbled a
moment with the money drawer to de-
ceive the murderous-lo looking sleeper
and then, quick as a flash, [ threw the
basinful of water across the counter
into his face.
He yelled, dropped his pistol to the
floor, rubbed his eyes a second and
then, fully awakened, began to look
around. He begged thousand par
dons when explained matters to him
and told me how he had gone to bed
wishing that he could get hold of the
man who had played an unfair game
with him in a hotel east of the noun
talns. That man invites me to supper
every time he comes to town and is
one of my best friends now But it
makes my soft brown hair curl even
when months had passed since the oc-
currence, whenever I cogitate on the
story of the 'Bloodthirsty Dreamer;
or, the Lucky Waterbasin.'

Roses and Turks.

''It would give genuine and relig-
lous Turk a fit if he saw how little ap.
probation Americans show for the
rose, and how little reverence they
have for it," spoke a florist, as he
wrapped the foil about stem of a
boutonniere, last St. Patrick's Day. 4
"The rose is beyond question the
prettiest flower that blooms, and it
was so considered by the Turks many
years before the conquest of Grenada.
There is a relig ious legend generally
believed in throughout Turkey that
the red rose sprang from a drop Of the
great Prophet Mohammed's blood.
Everything beautiful in nature is as.
cribed to him. The Turks, therefore,
have great reverence for the flower, and
allow it to bloom and die untouched,
except on state occasions and for the
purpose of making rose water.
"After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church
until the walls were cleansed and
washed with rose water, and thus
purified by the blood of the prophet.
1t is used on the body for the same
purpose. A Turk whose conscience is
stung by some act or deed he has COM
mitted will caress and pay reverence
to the rose to appease the wrath OF
theprophet and Allah.
"With these ideas inculcated in him
from youth it would shock him severe
~ to see the pretty flower strewn in
the path of bridal couple, thrown on
the public stage or banked up in
hundreds at a swell reception or party
to be crushed and spoiled in an even.

'.Make q note of this" said the
largest distiller in Cincinnati. eff the
entire blackberry crop of the United
States during any of three years last
past, or any preceding year for the
matter of that, had been converted
into blackberry brandy without spill
ing a drop, it would have made less
than one ounce of that liquor for each
of the saloons in ten cities the size of
this or say two ounces apiece for each
saloon in New York and Brooklyn.

Rats Were Eating Her.

A farmer near Nuremberg, Vt, one
morning found a sore place on the
shoulder of one of his COWS; as she
stood at the farther end of the stable
he thought she might have rubbed it,
and changed her place. but the next
morning it was much larger, and an
other COW also had a raw place on her
shoulder. The peculiar disappearance
of the hide became a puzzle. After
watching he found that rats were &C
tually eating the hide off his COWS.
Quite large patches had been denuded.

1t is estimated that there are always
$4,000 Americans in Italy, and that
there are now about ten times as many
Italians in this country. Nearly all
the Americans in Italy are well off,
and nearly all the Italians who como
to this country are in poverty. In
most cases the Americans who go to
Italy spend few weeks or months
there, while the Italians who come to

two big tears slowly rolled down her cheek,
and fell unheeded on her furs.
A jolly burst of laughter came from the
men outside, and a rough voice roared:
II guess Vance e. Kinnard's kin stand

Presently the forest ended, and across

young city of Venango, twink

shafts of innumerable rival oil wells rising
above multitude of low wooden houses
Wide streets, public buildings and lines of
street cars, proved the vitality of the oil
city, while the extensive clearings around

The Cleveland club Is like other good

Taylor, Jennings, and Fitzgerald, Of
the Louisvilles, appear to be playing

The positions Of Chicago and Cincin-

total of games won and lost. Chicago
has won IS and lost 4S. The POrkOpol-
itans have won IS and lost IS.
The Cleveland Club paid considerably
over $4,000 before IL had Clarence l..

The legal bill was something ap-
palling. 1t Is not TO be wondered at
that the Cleveland club shouted approx

that New York newspapers froth at the

they attempt TO tell how New York
failed TO come out first In the League
