Mrs. Blummer went away to a re-
mote little resort amid the mountains,
where she could spend a quiet summer.
She stopped at picturesque old hotel,
where she was known as q widow, as
it happened she affected black. And q
very gay little widow she made, for she
was determined to obtain utter forget
fulness in the pleasure to be extracted
from the passing moment.
And so 1t came about that she made
the acquaintance of q perfectly lovely
old doctor who took great interest In
her. He was so very kind and attentive
that he seemed like a father to her.
Day after day Mrs. Blummer and the
doctor were seen together, and 1t was
not long before the other guests began
to gossip mildly about them.
"She is awfully lucky" declared one
gushing young thing. "He is really in
earnest, and he's SO awfully richl Nc
sensible girl would mind his age, for
he's awfully handsome. But it's al.
ways the widows who make the lucky
catches"

UNLEARNED.

He In lovely just TO look at
With his thoughtful, dark brown eyes,
His gentle face and shining curls-
But he isn't very wise.
Two birthdays he has counted,
Two dimples he can show:
Yet he's ignorant OF many things
That little babies know.
Though he talks in childish fashion,
He knows but pretty words,
And he says them in q voice as sweet
AS the cooling OF the birds
He smiles at everybody,
But he hasn't learned to fret;
And angry looks and pouts-
He doesn't know them yet
Oh, everything contents him,
So he's never learned to tease;
And kicks and screams-he'A unaware
There are such things IS these
But he's lovely Just to look at
And to cuddle and to pet,
For to wriggle out OF loving arms,
He hasn't learned 1t yet.
Oh, as at frst I told you,
HIS isn't very wise;
Yet were we all Us ignorant,
Earth might be Paradise.

were alone in ozy little nook beside

Three hundred miles away, Blummer
was enjoying himself at the seashore.
He met a very charming and beautiful
girl, and, by way of diversion, he
sought her society as much as possible.
One day he came to the conclusion that
he was really and truly in love with
her.
From that moment Blummer grew
rapidly desperate, after the manner OF
any man who knows his affection is
refrigerated yet feels that the situation
is hopeless.
One night, as they sat on a huge
bowlder and watched the glory of the
moonlight on the ripping ocean, he
told her how much he loved her, anI
heard her sweet voice confess mutual
attachment.
Then came the task of revealing the
truth, which he did in a manly manner.
OF course she was shocked and dis
tressed, but she acknowledged she loved
him still.

Everybody thinks that President Cleve-
lands family will spend but little time in
the Executive Mansion during his admins
tration. The White House has gotten the
reputation of being unhealthy. and it is a
well .known fact that the Presidents of the
last decade have been ailng while they
stayed in it, There have been nine deaths
connected with the last administration, and
President Harrison's freedom from illness
may be attributed to his daily drives and
long walks. The Mckee children Of the
White House have not been well at times.
and the President naturally fears for Baby
Ruth. President Arthur had all the doctors
of the country discussing his health during
the latter part of his administration, and
President Cleveland. after his marriage,
spent the greater part of the years of
his first administration at Oak View.
There are a number OF large houses
in the city which would make good Presi-
Dental residences, and IL the President can
keep his home away from his business

ness. The house which il is said Mr.. CleVe-
land is seriously considering is the famous
Porter mansion. This is within a stones
throw of the White House, and it is mas
sive three-story building with great rooms
and a generous side and rear yard. Its
front is covered with vines and it has big
ballroom and splendid parlors. The
grounds are filled with shade trees and the
