Not Looking for n Ladle.

Not many years ago, before the
"boom" struck southern California, Mr..
II, an old New Yorker, had a large
ranch near Los Angeles. He was fond
of good company and a good dinner and
frequently entertained house parties at
the comfortable, old-fashioned Mexican
hacienda. Among Others who made a
stay with one of the New York parties
was Miss M. Although a woman of
uncertain age" she retained much
charm of manner, and herquick wit was
respected by everyone who had come in
contact with it. Mr.. L was a jolly
bachelor of perhaps forty summers, who
had seen much of the world and had a
magnetic personality. He was a man
Of enormous proportions; some of them.

through his fondness of good things to
eat and good wines to cheer the bach
elor.
The party was at dinner at the, ranch
one day. The host, the bachelor, sat at
one end Of the table and Miss Il was
on his left. He had been chatting with
her for some time when she asked for a
spoon. Mr.. L arose at this. and.

MY dear Miss -, won't you take
me?"

Death in Unrepslling Gu!se.

From the Water bury Comm AmericGn.
1t is said that the late l.. C. White died
at the breakfast table so suddenly that his
hand, reaching out toward dish in front of
him, fell just short of it aud rested there,
giving to his attitude remarkable natural
ness and resemblance to life He was left
sitting there for considerable time while
the doctor was summoned, and the under
taker, and preparations could be made for a
suitable disposition Of the body. Mean
while members of the family would return
again and again to look at him, aud so little
was the dread preseDce of death manifest in
his figure, sitting there so naturally, that
the grandchildren were taken in to look for
the last time upon the loved form and face.
1t was Il way of dying any one might
envy-free from the anticipation OF death,
from long illness, and from being an
anxiety and care to ones friends. aud when
it was over, free also from being an object
OF dread, which is one of the most bitter
thoughts in the contemplation of death.

MISSED THE PRESIDENCY.

Notable Americana Who Tried Hut Failed
to Reach the W hite House.
The list of IT en- who failed to obtain
the first Office in the gift of the people
is q most brilliant one. Leaving out the
two terms Of Washington, who had no
opposition, and beginning with the adj
ministration Of the elder Adams, we
find the names OF Thomas Pickney,
Aaron Burr, Samuel Adams Oliver
Ellsworth, John Jay, and Charles Cotes-
worth Pinckney. who was vice presi-
dent in the second administration Of
Jefferson. Burr, every student of
American history knows, tied Jefferson
in the electoral college, which threw
the election into the house of repre-
sentatives In 1908 Madison carried
away the prize from G. c. Pinckney and,
four years later. from De Witt Clinton.
Rufus King was beaten by James Mon
roc. The great Clay was defeated by
John Quincy Adams. by Andrew Jack
SON twice. an again by James K Polk.
The magnificent Webster was ballxed of
his ambition by Van Buren,, and Lewis
Cass by Zachary Taylor
Winfield Scott Is an imposing figure
in our annals, far more SO than Frank
lin Pierce. who was preferred to him in
1852. The dashing. impulsive Fremont
was beaten by the cold. phlegmatic Bu-
chanan. John C. Breckenridge, John
Bell and the eloquent Douglass went
down before Abraham Lincoln, and
George h Mcclellan shared their fate
in 1868. Ulysses s. Grant was the victor
over Horatio Seymour, one Of the ablest
of New York statesmen. Poor Horace
Greeley was not even voted for when
the final count was made, and Thomas
A. Hendricks received only forty-two
votes. as against 2s6 for Gen. Grant.
The electoral commission ruled ont
Samuel j. Tilden by one vote, and Ham
cock, the hero of Gettysburg, was de-
feated by Gen. Garfield. The last great
name on the splendid roll Is that Of the
superb statesman whose remains have
just been given back to earth amid tho
tears Of q nation.
II some Of these men had won the
presidency the current of our history
would have been changed If Clay had
defeated Polk in 1874 the Mexican war
would not in all probability have been
fought Suppose Fremont had been
elected in 1856 instead of buchanan.
might not the civil war have been
averted? If Breckenridge. Bell or Doug
las had beaten Mr.. Lincoln, who can
say what would have been the fate OF
the Union? What would have been the
