MR.. HATCH TELLS A STORY

bout a Meeting Between President Buc-
hanan and tie Governor Of Missouri.
General bill" Hatch, of Missouri, the
father of the anti-option bill, was sitting
in tue Press Club a few days ago swap
ping yarns with the boys. He grew
reminiscent of the old days in Missouri
While commenting on the decline of old
fashioned stump oratory. He told
story of old Bob Stewart, who was
governor of Missouri before the war, and
who was regarded in his day and region
as the most famous stump orator in that
generation. Ste vart was a man of stain
less integrity and the idol Of the popu-
lace, but he had one failing-a failing
that ultimately led to his downfall He
was a devout worshiper of Bacchus and
for days at a time he would burn incense
to his favorite god.
He came here during Bnchanan's al
ministratiou All Mssourians were
proud of Bob" Stewart and they want
ca to take him to the white house to
present to the president. But the gal
liant Robert was engaged in a protracted
crousal, and it was several days before
he could be brought into presentable
shape. lie was at last fairly sober one
morning, and at II o'clock, awayed in his
best bio aud tucker, and accompanied by
the entire Missouri delegation, he was
piloted to the white house. Governor
Stewart was excessively dignfied when
the glowing strains Of kentucky bour-
bon were tingHng in his veins. The
president came down stairs to see the
party
Mr.. Buchanan had habit of extend
ing out two fingers when he shook hands.
1t was, however, with no air of arrogant
condecension, and he did not mean it as
slight. 1t was simply habit which
those who knew him well perfectly I'M
derstood. Governor Stewart knew moth
ing Of this eccentricity. When the in
PRODUCTION was formally made President
Buchanan extended his two fingers to
Governor Stewart. The latter made no
movement to take his hand Instead, he
drew himself up to his full heighth,
looked the president steadily in the eye
for the space of second, and then
said;
so you are James Buchanan, of Penn
sylvania, president Of the United
States?"
The president smiled blandly and nod
ded pleasantly.
"Well, 1 am Bob Steward" contin-
ued the governor Bob Stewart, gov
ernor of the state of Missouri, never
shook the two fingers of any man.
President Buchanan melted. He not
only extended his full hand and grasped
that of the MlssouIian in hearty hand
shake, but he fairly embraced Stewart
The incident cemented life friendship.

at the newspapers say,

As a rule the editor gets a thousand
kicks to one caress. Once in while he
gets a kind word, and it warns and
cheers his weather beaten, storm-racked
heart to lhe innermost core. Most peo-
pie are afraid to tell an editor when he
writes an article that particularly pleases
them for fear of making him proud, we
suppose, but if they find anything that
does not accord precisely with their
views they will ne glect their business to
hunt him up and tell him of it. Pshaw .
dear friends, don't think you will spoil
the editor by giving him an occasional
word of cheer any more than you will
spoil your child by complimenting her
upon piece of patchwork she has fin
ished. OF course you could beat the job
yourself, but that doesn' deter you from
heaping words of encouragement on the
child, 1t has done its best. SO you
could doubtless beat the average editor
at running a paper? OF course you can.
The man does not live who can't beat an
editor at running a paper The editor is
willing to acknowledge that you can. He
only does it because you have not time
to, but this fact need not deter you from
giving him word of encouragement oc-
casionaIly.

GOOD BOB WMTE.-The male quail.
or Bob White" deserves honorable
mention among gallinaceous birds be-
cause he particularly good to his WIFE
He always helps her to hatch her eggs,
and if anything keeps her away will
take the whole duty on himself. This
is particularly attested by a writer
quoted by Capt. Bendire in his Life
Histories of North American Birds. "
He saws SIN June, 1856, while | was
on visit to DIR. J. NJ. Pickett, of Ce-
darville, Ala, he informed me OF hav-
ing seen a male Bob White incubating.
He had visited the nest at various
times on different days, and always
found the male bird on the nest. Wish
ing to be an eyewitness of so interest
ing a sight, rode several miles with
the doctor to the nest. There we
found Bob White faithfully warming
his treasures, but not into life; the
eggs were never Matched. DR.. Pickett
frequently went to the nest until long
after the period of incubation had
elapsed, and finding that the eggs
would not hatch, he destroyed them 10
prevent the useless occupation of the
nest by the male. The female had
probably been dead some hours before
the male found the nest deserted; hence
the eggs cooled and would not hatch"
