He likes to laugh and he doesn't
care who knows it or who hears
him. He appreciates Il good play,
however, whether he has a chance
to laugh or not, And he is one of
the most regular frst-nighters
when there's a good play on the
bills in Washington. He went to
see Willard-not on the first
night, because Mrs. Harrison re-
turned on that night and he had to
meet her at the station. But he
went later in the week and would
have gone again had the company
remained another week. He is
the envied of the inveterate play
goer because it doesn't cost the
president anything to so the thea
ter. The managers are only too
delighted to have him come. It
gives tone to the house and to the
performance, too, don't you see?
And he has only to announce
in the gentlest voice that
he thinks he would like to take in
such or such a play tonight to have
tickets for the best box in the house
laid on bis desk before he has time
to lose himself in another thought.
It's lots of fun to be president when
there is a good show in town.
When the conductor of the west
ern express over the Boston and
Albany road collected his tickets
Friday afternoon, he had among
his passengers Governor Russell of
Massachusetts, says the Boston
Globe. His excellency occupied a
small compartment in one of the
sleepers, whittier he had retired to
study up the speech he was to
deliver in the evening at Holyoke.
GLOW do you do, Governor Rus
sell?" said the ticket collector.'
Il am delighted to see you," re-
sponded the Cambridge man, at
the same time extending his hand.
"You hold a pass, of coure, gov
ernor"
The commander-in.chief of the
military forces of the common
wealth began fumbling about his
pockets and soon produced a long
slip of posteboard that was very
yellow on one side and very green
on the other.
This is not a pass, it's regular
ticket" said the surprised con-
ductor.
"Why, l know that; you look
astonished,"
"Well I should say l ought to
look astonished, for this is the first
time during my long connection
with railroading in this state that
| ever took a paid ticket from one
OF our governors.
This confession amused the gov
ernor greatly, who went on to say:
st mas been one of my unvaring
rules never to travel at any COM
pany's expense except when on
official duty"
The conductor punched three
cornered hole in the ticket and was
heard to say: II have carried
governors worth all the way from
100000 to 100000, 900, but this is

English ignorance of American
politics and American geography
is receiving new illustration since
the recent elections. Mr.. Smallev,
London correspondent of the New
York Tribune, has been of pains to
collect some of the plumbers of the
London press. The most unique
OF all is the declaration of the
Daily News "that the republicans
have carried the entire state of
Philadelphia" and the editor of
that paper is of the opinion that
next to Ohio, if not in some re-
spects before it, comes New York"
as a power in the electoral college,
The Tory Standard misstates the
case by gravely saying that "Ohio
has rejected it's republican governor,
but by a majority too narrow for
congratulations" All these stories
are reminiscent of of the one told
OF the English tourist who visited
Springfield, ILL.,, during the last
gubernatorial candidacy of Dick
Oglesby, and who, from the fact
that the then president had left a
governors office to go to the White
House, had imbibed the idea that
the presidents were elected by
rotation from the governors of the
states. On being presented to
Governor Oglesby the Englishman
inquired:
lis it your turn to be president
next timer"
II think it is" replied Dick, as
he gave his visitor a searching
look. ''I've been governor twice
now, and ought to be promoted"
eyes, indeed" assented the
brltisher, "more particularly as
you are an older man than Mr..
Cleveland. l don't see why YOU
were not selected the last. In my
country gray hairs are a sign of
Preferment."
President Harrison is a great
theater-goer, says the Chicago
Evening Post. He likes a good
play after the cares OF the day.
He likes one that is funny Dummy
is the word and he likes to laugh.
Some people have been seen to look
at one another in amazement upon
hearing good hearty laugh come
from the presidents box. They
appear to think that it is beneath
the dignity of the president of the
United States to way to his risi)lcs
But the president thinks otherwise.

The death of Prince Louis I.ucien
Eoraparte, at the age of IS, is
chiefly interesting from his repre-
senting the most respectable of
Napolean's brothers, that Lucien
whose decision and calm courage
as president of the 500 saved Ma
polean from destruction on the
18th Brumaire. Lucien had four
sons. Although Prince Louis Lu-
Glen has remained less distin-
guished than his elder brother,
Charles Lucien, the naturalist, he
made a good reputation of his own.
A kind of fatility attended the
children Of Lucien Donaparte. His
household was a grave one. He
himself seemed the only one of the
brothers who remained unaffected
in personal character by the mis-
fortunes, SO called, of their house.
He passed his days in studies, join
ing his family in the evenings.
The eldest daughter married into
the wealthy Gabrielle family of
Rome, and remained respectable.
She was not beautiful. Christine,
who was beautiful, married first
Count Posse, a Swede. and after
ward Lord Dudley Stuart, and was
neither happy nor respectable with
either. The next daughter emerged
from her convent at II to her
great grief, for she wanted to be a
nun. However, she married the
English scolar Wyse and became
a VIGOROUSLY bad character. She
it was who threw herself into the
Serpentine.
Charles, the ornithologist, fell to
suing his father for his wife's
dowry. Another son got into the
castle of St. Angelo under SEN
tence of death as the principal in a
murder Another came to Amer
lea as an exile for being concerned
in another murder. This was that
Prince Pierre who lived troubled
life of adventure in Italy, America
and France. In the country last
named he ehot and MORALLY
wounded Victor Noir, a journalist,
who had called upon him to ar.
range the preliminaries for a duel
with Grousset. The prince was
condemned to indemnify the family
of Noir. From that time he took
up his residence in London.
This story about Senator Dubois
of1daho is going the rounds, says
the New York Tribune: Shortly
after he had reached Idaho he was
engaged one day with a number of
other men in slaughteving cattle.
Naturally he presented a most I'M
tidy appearance; blood and grease
smeared his clothes. A buck
board containing two ladies and
two gentlemen drove up. They
had drove from a neighboring town.
The vehicle halted probably fifty
yards from young Dubois, and one
Of the gentlemen beckoned him to
come to them. AS Dubois APP
preached one Of the gentlemen
noticed his truculent appearance
and called to him to stop, saying
that he would 60 to him, knowing
that the ladies would be shocked
at the sight Of the young Illinoisan.
He inquired the direction to some
point they wansed to make. A few
months ago Senator Dubois ap.

A BOY WITH TACT.

How He Secured Good Position Under
Peculiar circumstances.
Tact, combined with confidence, is
the first qualification of business
man, and the following little incident
in the history of one Of the most sue
cessful merchants of New York shows
a development of this trait early in his
business career.
Coming to the great city, without
friends and with very little money, he
found his way to lower Wall street."
and, walking into the store of W. & Co.
passed back into the counting-room and
waited modcstly and patiently till he
should divert the attention of Mr.. W.,
who was at the moment busily engaged
with some friend.
At last the frank, open face of the
boy attracted his notice, and he adj
dressed him with:
What can do for you. sonny?"
81 want a place, SIR"
well. what can you do?"
The boy answered eagerly:
Most anything, SIR"
Mr.. W., partly as a joke and partly to
rid himself of the almost too confident
boy, said:
"Ahl Well just go out and borrow me
couple of thousand dollars"
The lad placed his hat on his head,
walked out of the store, then passed
slowly down Front street till he came
to another large store in the same line
of business Then. with n bold but
honest look, he walked up to the head
of the house and said:
MIR. W., of w. & Co., sent me down
to borrow two thousand dollars"
lie did, my son? How is business
up at your placer"
The boy, having seen the appearance
OF large shipments, answered, quickly:
Very good, SIR"
"Two thousand dollars, did YOU saw?
Will that be enough?"
well, two thousand dollars is all he
told me, but if you have plenty think
he would like it if you sent him three
thousand dollars"
Just give this boy check for three
thousand dollars for w. & Co." re.
marked the merchant to the cashier.
The boy took the check, and with it
returned to Mr.. w.. walking back into
the Office with an air of successful
| pride, and said:
Here it is, SIR"
Mr. w., taking one look at the check
and then at the boy, said:
Young man, come in here. You arc
just the one have been looking for"
And, giving him desk, he set him
to work.-Golden Days.

Many "reminiscences of the early cat

curious one to my northern mind. says
a writer in the New York World, was
related by n former cattle baron. Those
who were fortunate enough to have
houses either of stone or adobe in this
timbcrless land never dreamed of using
doors or windows, simply leaving the
necessary openings in their walls. Our
baron was the first to send hundred
miles to the railroad for planlls that he
might have u door. The lumber ar
rived, the door was made and placed,
but hardly three hours had passed be-
fore deputation of cowboys appeared
and said that one of their number had
been shot and they wanted that door
for n coffin. 1t was freely given. Again
planlSs were brought across the desert
and another door was made. But it
was allowed to remain in place only
few weeks, when there came another
request for a coffin, which was again
granted. A third door was secured and
our friend found it necessary thereafter
to refuse his door to those in search of
collins, rs he did not feel able to sup
ply an unlimited number of doors for
the use of all who by fate or accident
ended their existence in his vicinity.
