OF making plentiful use of the word also in
his replies. At length the young barrster in

No" replied the Quaker with prompt wit :;

THE LOGAN FAMILY has a strong love for
horses, even unto the third generation, says
the Rider and Drtver. Gen. Logan was a
striking and picturesque figure in the saddle
and one OF the most daShing riders the army
held. Mrs. Logan, as matter of course. bein z
western girl, was perfectly at home in the
saddle, and evinced the same spirit there that
has been her characteristic in every situation.
her son S love for horses extends to the racing
thoroughbred, Her daughter Mrs. Tucker
rides and drives well, and her Accomplishments
have stood her in good stead as the wife
or an army officer. Mrs. fuckers little son ,
Is handsome, fiery, black eyed lad, who prom
ises to look much like his iustrious grand
father. He is far and away the best rider
among the Washington small fry. He rides
pony. and has a small army saddle which was
made expressly for him. One of his feats,
beating ex-Secretary Bayard in an imprompJu
race, he Is very proud of. He overlook him on
the road one day and challenged him to race.
Mr.. Bayard good-naturedly consented and
Logan won by length to his great delight.
Miss GRACE BATES of California, a grand
daughter of Judson. one of the richest of the
Pacific coast millionaires. was unfortunate
enough few years ago to lose by bad invest
ments the large property which had come to her
as portion of the family estate. Brought up
with every luxury, Miss Bates had apparently
no way of earning a livelihoO1. SEE was well
educated, but not sufficiently well to teach in
these days of university courses and college re-
QulrementS, nor had she any special accomplish
mentS by which she could earn living. The idea
occurred to Der of turning her attention in the
direction of decorative art. She had always had
good idea of form and color, and conse-
quently she reasoned that as a florists
designer she might be to'o.ably certain of
reasonable degree of success. Accordingly she
applied TO Mrs. Leland Stanford for permission
to decorate her dining room table on a certain
grand occasion. So successful was the first at
tempt that Miss Bates has since found all that
she could do II the line of trimming houses for
grand entertainments. Mrs Harrison was the
houored guest at one of the tables dacorated by
Miss Bates, and so great waI the skill and
originality shown in the designs that Mrs Har-
rson said that she considered the table the
most perfect in decoration Of any she had ever
seen.

"MExIco." said Senior Leon of Pueblo, "is in
a more prosperous condition at present than it
has been before in fifteen years, and there is
absolutely no revolutionary feeling in the coun-
try. the malicious dispatches from San Fran
cisco to the contrary notwithstanding Mexico
is republic built upon the same principles
upon which your own great republic is founded.
There are twenty seven states and two terri
teries, and can truthfully say that Pueblo is
one OF the most prosperous of our states
With us, however, a depression is quicker felt
than in many other states. So if there was
any truth in the dispatches which are periodi-
cally sent out from San Francisco we would
certainly know it, These dispatches to which
refer state that the crops have failed with us,
that our credit is low and that
there is strong feeling against
President DIaz because of his mar
riage t. an American Protestant Never before
Since 1877 has Mexico been so beautifully blessed
with Good crops IS this ye0r Fourteen years
ago our government couli not borrow dollar
IL any European money market. Since then our
stocks have been constantly rising, and TO-DAY
they are gilt-edged in any market, Ten wears
ago there vac not mile of railroad in Mexico.
Now stand next il the two Americas to the
United States in miles of rel road in peraton.
AS to the feeling against President Diaz. that is
the merest nonsense. The president recently
married the daughter of Senior Romero Rubio
minister of the interior The lady is q devout
Catholic and is very popular with the masses.
Last Tuesday, Sept 10, was President Diaz's an
eral holiday by the people Commissions
were sent out to each of the twenty nine
states and territories to present the congratula
tions of the people. All of which goes TO show
that our government is not distressed by dis
sensions. There is a disposition di PLAYED by
some correspondents to create the impression
that Americans are not popular in Mexico
That is a great mistake. too. The Americans
are well liked by our people, and obtain more
concessic ms from the government than the re-
personalities of any other nationality. Minister
Ryan is immensely popular and stands very
close to President Diaz. At a reception he gave
a short time ago there were 1900 guests AM the
street in froat of his residence was crowded by
the common people, who kept the air led with
cheers for hours. The Fourth of July is ALWAYS
celebrated in the City of Mexico"
