If the postmaster general and his son
Thomas were aspiring for connection with
the Farmers Alliance, they would both be
eligible if the possession of farms consti-
tute any claim for membership. Up the
road piece from the family house is the
postmaster generals real farm. It includes
500 acres of land that is worth a good
smart sum. 1t is in charge Of farmer,
who occupies the house there and keeps
the place in cultivation. Then still bit
beyond Tom has farm of 156 acres.
When the family gets tired of the country
there is still the ocean to fly to and the
cottage. which all the world knows of, is
waiting fer them at Cape May Point, where
it is one of the finest in the locality.
But it is at Jenkintown that the Wana-
makers enjoy family life the most. Visi-
tors are always impressed by the homelike
air about and the warm ties between the
members of the family. They are always
planning surprises when any one is away
for long time, and some of the prettiest
features in the house are the result of such
occasions. They have already decided on
what Mrs. Wanamaker shall have for a
surprise when she returns from Europe. J.

FROM THE MONUMENT LOOKING NORTH.
so conspicuously does not appear to be
more than half mile away. 1t lacks but
a little of mile and half The Washing
ton monument, which lifts its graceful
point so high in the heavens, appears to be
but stones throw from the steps of the
vast building in which Uncle Sam keeps
his much talked Of, anXiously watched sur
plus. Yet it is a good half mile distant.
There are many other views of prominent
objects quite as deceptive as these. 1t is
not of Washington as acity of magnificent
distances that | wish now to write, how
ever, but as a city of beautiful vistas.
Probably there is no other American city
which contains so many charming views,
fascinating giimpses of scenery and build
&gs from points of vantage-vistas from
between marble pillars, perspectives from
elevated windows, framed pictures with
dazzling fairgrounds and deep back
grounds.
There are so many of these pretty views
in Washington that l hardly know which
ones to tell you about first. But the most
popular vistas, and doubtless the most at
tractive, are those to be seen from the
eight windows Of the Washington monu-
ment. Go up to the top of this huge shaft
with me and let us see what we shall see
We stand by granite bordered opening
or embrasure in the thick walls-a win
dow perhaps four feet long by two feet
wide As we first look out we involun-
tarily give little start, the eyes open
wider, the lips part in exclamation, the
lungs take a deep inspiration of surprise
1t is, indeed, wonderful picture that is
spread before US. Underneath is grassy
slope, cut here and there by what appear
to be burrows of dust, but which are in
reality wide carriage roads. The horses
and vehicles upon them look like the toy
horses and carriages which the children
play with at Christmas. A street car, a
few hundred yards away, resembles a con-
fection box with a candy mule or horse
hitched on before. A man walking, al
most perpendicularly downward from
where we stand, is so insignificant, ap-
parently, and moves with such awkward
motions-a mere upright insect with a
long tentacle swinging out before and be-
hind-that we are moved to laughter.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1891-09-08
SOUTH.

But there is still another monument
vista. 1t is from the east window, and 1t
is view than which no American should
ever be able to find anything finer. To the
left a continuation of the city, growing
redder as you leave the more modern
brownstone front region and enter the do
main of the older brick structures. Here
the conspicuous objects are the patent Of
fee, the postofice, the huge red pension
office-it is impossible in Washington to
get away from the memories of the great
war-and beyond the hills once covered
with forts, now occupied by the new Catho-
lie university and by pretty suburban vii
lages. To the right the Potomac once
more, the steamboat landing, the arsenal in
which Mrs. Surratt and the other supposed
accomplices of Booth were hanged, the navy
yard with its monster shiphouses and two
or three old monitors lying in the mud,
rotting and rusting away-the navy yard
which now is not navy yard at all, but a
gunshop for the navy-and melting away in
the distance the curving, pellucid line of the
river, ancient and grass grown Alexandria,
Forts Foote and Henry and immortal Mt.
Vernon. These last to be seen only with
the help of good glass.
But the center of this eastern picture is
the gem of them all. Before you lies the
beautiful mall, superb park more than a
mile long and half mile wide, bordered
on the left by noble Pennsylvania avenue,
and on the right by the buildings and gar
dens of the agricultural department, the
Smithsonian institution, the National mu-
scum and other public buildings, termi-
mating in the botanical gardens, where
plays the Bartholdi fountain which at
tracted so much attention at the Philadel-
phia exposition. Beyond the park rises
Capitol hill, an eminence conspicuous in
itself, but which is thrice ennobled be-
cause upon it sits the most majestic build
ing in the world, the American Capitol.
The Capitol seen near by, from the ground,
is vast, impressive. Viewed from the top
of Washington monument it is more than
beautiful, more than majestic, more than
great-it IS inspiring, possessing, entranc-
ing.
Here have filed my space with talk OF
nothing but the vistas from the obelisk,
though there are hundreds more worth
seeing and telling of. You must take for
granted the charm of these others without
any attempt at description on my part

look straight down Pennsylvania avenue,
the view of the monument from window
in the house wing, the picture framed be-
tween two Of the pillars of Arlington
house, and many others of equal beauty.
In closing must tell you little about
the most perfect vista, using the word
in its narrow sense, which we have in
Washington. In driving through the great
park attached to the Soldiers' Home, by
the side of a dense woods, your driver

AS we look and listen we hear the Marine
band from the midst of these people Civ
ing one OF, its celebrated concerts, and the
people, white and black, seem very happy
and prosperous. Thus the thought comes
that from the south window we saw Long
bridge, with its memories OF unreturn1n9
travellers and the bloody hills of Manassas
from the west window Arlington and the
sacrifce-the sacrifice of the Lee home
stead, typifying the loss Of the south, so
nobly borne, and the white dots on the
landscape, speaking with myriad tongues
of the offerings of flesh and blood made by
the north; and now from the north win
dow the results-a reunited people, an up
lifting if not wholly uplifted race of slaves.
In the background of this last picture the
executive mansion, with its suggestive
ness of the heroes and the rulers OF the
country, fanked by the war, state and
navy building on the one side, and the
vast, impressive treasury On the other.
Still farther to the north may be seen
the most beautiful part of Washington,
the wide avenues and streets and luxurious
homes of the aristocratio northwestern
section-a section in which statues may be
seen in the parks and where the homes OF
great men and the legation homes OF a
score of foreign governments may be dis
tinguished. Fringing this city of homes,
away to the north, are seen the wooded
heights of Mt. Pleasant, being swiftly COW
cred with institutions of learning and
the villas of wealthy residents. At the left
lies the picturesque valley Of Rock creek,
its slopes, too, villa dotted, and within it
the sight of two lovely parks which the
government is creating at an expense
which ultimately will reach to millions.
Do you wonder that people who ascend
the monument to stay ten minutes usually
remain an hour or two and then go again
at the first opportunity?

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-A thin, dingy ole
book, s by 10 inches in size. between the
raw pasteboard covers of which are scarcely
a hundred pages, all of a poor quality o.
parchment, yellow with age and covered
with pen and ink scribbling, such is th'
original account book used by Andrew
johnson away back in 1884, when he wa
operating tailor's shop, and before it wa:
even dreamed that his name would b'
heard beyond the borders of his native
state, much less in connection with so eX
alted a position as the presidency of tht
United States.
This old account book is one of the rares
relics extant of any of the old time presi
dents of our country. 1t cost its present
owner, Mr. G. Z. Gunther, of Chicago
$3.50 in cash.
Andrew Johnson's autographs are much
rarer today than those of George Wash
ington or Benjamin Franklin, yet the
leaves of this old cash book contain many
of his signatures which, if they were cut
out and sold separately, would bring, al
present prices, more than thousand dol
lars in total These facts are noted simply
that the reader may gain some idea as tc
the intrinsic value of the book as consld
cred in this generation.
Mr.. johnson was a man of very little
schooling. He did not know how to write
until taught by his wife. AS result the
book in question shows it was kept by g
novice indeed, so far as penmanship is con
cerned. But it also shows that the novice
was very ambitious to improve his hand
and evidently spent much time in practic
ing on his own signature, together with
the introduction of many bold hourishes
in connection Herewith.
One feature of the account book is that
it does not contain a single dollar mark
its keeper having gone entirely by the rul
ing which provided a place for the figures
representing dollars and another represent
ing cents. The number of accounts on the
page vary from three to ten, while each
account contains from one to twelve items

Paid in wood. So SC
Numerous accounts in the book seem tc
have been squared by being paid in wood. u
1t also appears that Andy had two OF
three different prices which he charged for
making a coat One was four dollars, an.
other six dollars and third was eight
dollars. He charged S1.50 for making q
vest, and one of the entries reads, "For
making half vest, fifty cents" Owing
to the various styles and prices that pre-
vail today in connection with mems gar
ments, comparison is almost impossible;
but it is safe to say that Andy secured
good prices for his work on the tailoring
bench, with the exception, perhaps, OF
when he cut a coat and charged only 37jS
cents, and cut a pair of pants for twenty.
five cents. His check-off mark was O
scrawl resembling double figure 8, which
he placed never upon the account itself
but at one side of it.
Mr.. johnson evidently had very few
worthless accounts, since nearly every one
is marked paid" The book shows also
that he held the patronage of a customer
when once obtained. Men by the name OF
Patterson, Willis, Houston, Myers, vii.
haut, Henderson, Ewing and others are
shown to have continued Andy as their
tailor for more than four consecutive years.
The last entry in the book is an account
under date of Oct. Is, 1888, but it shows
very little improvement as to handwriting.
A fly leaf in the back of the book con.
tains the following, written in Andrew
Johnson's hand. with the exception of the
signature:
