Not q Suitable Present.

He told the clerk in the book store
that he wanted to purchase something
that would be a suitable present for a
young lady. The clerk brought out al
buns, books, gold pens and pencils and
cardcases, but nothing seemed to suit.
AS the last resort he showed the young
man an engagement calendar-a beauti-
full little tablet ON which to record the
engagements for each day of the week.
'Quite tho fad now" he explained as
he displayed the calendar. "All young
ladies feel the need of them, especially
during the season."
''Whut is it, asked the young man.

the clerk. She'll find it invaluable
You think she would like one:"
asked the young man with forced calm
ness.
I'm sure she would, if she hasn't one
already" said the clerk.
"Well, | want to say to you that she
wouldn't" exclaimed the young man.
losing control of his temper. Il know
her and You don't, and l want you TO
understand. sir, that she has no use for
any such calendar. She doesn't have to
keep any records of her engagements.
This is the only time that she has ever
been engaged, and any man who says
that she will ever be engaged to any one
else, or that she has to put it down on a
tablet to remember it, has got to fight

Monumental troops gave out at the bat

and gave to the soldiers for wadding

Caldwell is distinguished for another
and at the present time more interest
ing reason. Within the walls of the
Presbyterian parsonage of the place Il
boy baby was born some fifty-ive years
ago who was destined to be twice elect
ed president of the United States 1t
was to see this house and to talk with
. 9ny who might remember the Cleveland
family that [ made yesterdays pilgrim
age.
1t goes without saying that the people
of Caldwell, regardless of party ties,
take pleasure in showing visitors the
birthplace of Grover Cleveland. The
house is plain, brown painted struc-
%Gure, and stands a little back from the
main street, not far from the railroad
spur that winds across the marshes and
over the mountains from Jersey City to
Caldwell. Graceful elms wave over the
lawn, and an old fashioned picket fence
extends along the street front. There
has been little change i'll the appearance
of the house since the days of the Glove
land family in Caldwell. The porches
have been modernized, the front gable
and the low 81" to the rear have been
added, and the by 8 window pancs
have been replaced by larger glass. The
old wide weatherboards remain as they
Were at first.

claim he ever knew Grover Cleveland

claim he ever knew Grover Cleveland
nowadays"
Mrs. Cleveland" said Mrs. Backus,
pleasant faced old lady, who was young
during the Clcveland passionate, "was
tail, stately woman, inclined to be some
what stouter than her husband, who was
rather spare and slender. The care of
her growing family occupied most of
her time, and she was not able, therefore,
to go about much among her neighbors.
l remember perfectly how ON Sunday
mornings she used to 20 down the center
aisle of tho old wooden meeting house,
that has since burned down, with her
little flock leading and following her to
the minister's pew.
Mrs. Zenas Crane, who died only last
year" continued Mrs. Backus, ''wns Il
good friend of Grover Cleveland's
mother and used often to drop in and
render such nei%hborly l;indncsses as
would be especially acceptable to the
young minister's wife. Mrs. Crane held
the president in embryo on her lap and
sang hin. to sleep many times while the
mother cared for the other children of
the family"
Mrs. Backus' memory goes away back
to the days before Mr.. Cleveland be-
came pastor. In those times there
were no stoves in the Caldwell church,
and the people had to keep warm in the
winter by means of curious little foot
stoves III which fires of corncobs were
built
There was considerable opposition to
the introduction of the new tangled heat
ing apparatus. The purchase of two
box stoves i'll which "chunks" of wood
were burned was approved at n some
what stormy meeting of the church and
congregation on Jan. 1, 1923, and one
"Doct. Orion was instructed to get
them. The church edifice was not pro-
vlded with chimneyS, and SO the stoves
were placed i'll two corners of the build
ing. and the smoke was carried away by
stovepipes that stuck out of the Win
dows. Some scandal arose Mt one time.
according to Mrs. Backus' memory. be-
canse certain persons of the male persua
sion were careless III their use of to-
bacco, and the church finally passed a
formal resolution to the effect that those
who must chew during divine service
should provide themselves with boxes
to spit in, and not spit on the floor of
the meeting house,
The Rev. Mr.. Cleveland had not long
been pastor of the Caldwell church when
the $3.50 salary which was agreed upon
was found to be inadequate to the sun
port of his constantly increasing family.
and the quaint old church record book
from which have already made an cx-
tract contains copy of Il letter which
the minister transmitted to, the church
on Jan. 2, 1887. 1t set forth in simple.
direct phrase that he must have a larger
income or resign his place in Caldwell.
The letter produced the desired result.
Under date of Jan. &c, 1887, a minute
appears of a meeting at which it was de-
cided, by a vote of IS to 10, to increase
the pastors salary to 5000 year. On
Jan. l, 1871, it was mutually agreed
that church and pastor would do better
apart, and few weeks afterward the
Cleveland family moved away from the
pretty mountain village of Caldwell

Especial Correspondence


Especial Correspondencc.1
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 1.-The man
ager and employees at the winter quar-
ters of the Barnum 81 Bailey show in
this city received a hair raising shock
a few days ago from which they have
not yet recovered. One day recently
"Tody" Hamilton, the press agent of the
firm, who has charge of the quarters
during the winter, was approached by
big hulking German, who said his
name was Hans. He was looking for
work, and as it happened a man was
needed about the place he was engaged
to clean out the cages of the tigers and
lions. He was put to work at once, and
Mr.. Hamilton went off.
On returning he looked for his new
man for some time without finding any
trace of him, but on prosecuting his
search further he was paralyzed with
horror as he approached the cage of the
largest and fiercest lions in the place to
see Hans inside the cage He was 20
ing about his work calmly and method
lcally, wholly unconscious of his danger.
Slowly and vigorously he swept the tiooi
with worn broom, which he occasion
ally shook i'll the faces of the kingly
beasts when he wanted them to move
out of the way. The lions seemed to be
surprised and almost stunned at the SUI
preme indifference Of the man and kept
hnddled together in one corner Of the
cage until he wanted to clean that par
hcular spot, when he coolly walked over,
ana prodding them with his broom as
II they were so many cats made them
trot over to the other side.
AS soon as Mr.. Hamilton recovered
from his amaZement he hurriedly col
lected as many men as he could find and
returned to the cage, fully expecting to
see the German torn to pieces He Mt
once ordered the vcnturesome Hans ont
OF the cage, but Hans laughed at Mr.
Hamilton's fears and wanted to finish
his job He finally obeyed orders and
quietly climbed down without n scratch.
The animals are considered the most
bloodthirsty and treacherous in the cir
Gus, and the greatest care has always
been exercised in dealing with them.
The German, however, could not be
convinced that he stood in any danger,
and 1t was some time before he could be
induced to Use the long rakes which arc
always employed in cleaning out the
cages of the lions and tigers. The only
explanation that can be given of the
mans escape from horrible death is
that the beasts must have been con-
WINGED from Hans steady use of the
broom and the way in which he poked
1t into their faces that they were deal
ing with an animal of some new species
which they had never seen before.
