Eats, and city-bound pigeons, to all IT
ought a BIT of brightness. But the
Jc5t thing it did was the reconciliation
1t caused between two people who were
"enioyinG' their first quarrel. The be-
ginning of it had been so small that
neither could tell what it was, but it
had progressed finely, and now both
had bad case of heartache. And as
they passed the waiting girl both
thought of the bright June day, not a
year ago, when he had asked the
momentous question. Presently one Of
his hands touched hers, it might have
been by accident (but it wasn't), and
somehow it stayed there. So that
quarrel came to premature end, and
the little flower had one good reason
for it's existence, should it's usefulness
ever be questioned.
But this time the wearer of the sweet
little blossom began to notice the at
tention everyone gave her, and, woman
like, she resented it. Perhaps if she
had realized how many hearts the
homely flower had softened and cheered
she would not have thrown it into the
middle of the street, with the mental
asseveration that she would 'never,
never wear a dandelion in town again, -
but then how could she know?-Ethel

PRESENCE OF MIND.
How q General Saved His Command from
Destruction.

How q General Saved His Command from
Destruction.
Mere GOODNESS will often extricate
one from terrible difficulty, without
the necessity of recourse to untruthful-
ness. This fact was well illustrated
in the early days of the civil war at
Belmont, KY, where a confederate
force, under Gen. Cheatham, was ap-
preaching the union volunteers.
At that time the uniforms of feder.
ais and confederates were much alike,
and strange mistakes were sometimes
made.
As Gen. Cheatham was riding out one
day, he met a squadron of cavalry
coming down toward his position. He
had no sure means of knowing whether
the force was friendly or hostile. He
resolved to ascertain.
Riding up, accompanied only by an
orderly, to within few yards of the
troop, he asked:
"What cavalry is that?"
"Illinois cavalry, SIR was the reply.
ooh, Illinois cavalry" said the con-
federate general "All right; just stay
where you are"
The ulinoisans had no doubt that
the officer was a federal. They obeyed
his order. Cheatham looked about for
a moment, and then rode back to his
own command under the guns OF
another federal regiment, who, seeing
him come from the federal troop, sup
posed he was zone of them"

her grandaunt, Elizabeth Pitts Bow
din, was also the wife of minister to
Spain, being in that country in 1904 -
just eighty-fve years before the pres
ent Mrs. Elizabeth Pitts Palmer went
there also as the wife of minister to
Spain.
The brightest member of Mrs. Pal
mer's family, according to her ideas
and also those of the senator, is their
youngest child, Higinio Poblaciony
Belloso Palmer, who is now six years
old. Higinio was adopted in Spain,
while Mr.. Palmer was minister there,
and by legislation he is now legal
child of the Palmer family. He is a
handsome little fellow, very Spanish in
appearance, and is always dressed in
the costume of the children of his ma
tive country.
At Saratoga last summer Higinio was
much admired by the fashionable sum-
mer guests assembled at that watering
place, and, as Mrs. Palmer declared, it
was absolutely necessary to leave Sara
toga or Higinio would become O little
grandee long before his time.
Mrs. Palmer is a member of many So

affairs ever seen in the metropolis.
The Infanta and the ladies of her suite
had placed at their disposal the private
carriages of Mrs. Edward j. Berwind and
Mrs. Theodore A. Havemeyer, in which
they were conveyed to the ball. Messrs.

police. rendered through the courtesy Of
Superintendent Byrnes.
The entrance hall was transformed into
a bower of green's and electric lights with
punches Of apple and peach blossoms.
The ball room decorations were mainly of
orchids and roses. The room in which the
Infanta received was most gorgeous. This
LOOIh 10 bAo upper COuC6rI ue1l duu was
decorated by DaveeR with rare old Span
ish tapestries and with brocades said to be
worth $3.50, 0C0. A heavy insurance was
placed upon them. The reception WAS as
informal as any afternoon reception in q
we'll appointed New York house.
At eleven o'clock the Infanta went to
her box at the south side of tie assembly
room. Over this box was placed bower
of orchids and pink roses and most exquis-
lite flowers.

enade by a Cuban band led by Senior
Domingo.
Supper was served in the restaurant at
the Twenty sixth street corner, at half
past twelve or one o'clock. There was no
forma ity or places reserved save for the
Infanta and her party, who, with other
distinguished guests Of the ball, were
seated to the number of thirty at table
at the south side of the restaurant. This
table surrounded three sides of a hollow
square. The decorations were most
ornate. The China plate AMI all ap-
pointmentS were of the finest. The
supper was served by Mazzet.
At the table with the Infanta were
Mayor Gilroy at her right. the Marquis of
Arc Hermosa at her Left, Commander Davis,

MRS. THOMAS w. PALMER.
The Wife Of the President of the
Worlds Fair.
Lady Who Bears the Honors of Her
Position Gracefully and Hospital
bly-Her Interesting Fam
lily and Ancestry.

A woman doing her part in the great
work of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton with great credit to herself and
the nation is Mrs. Thomas w. Palmer,
whose husband, ex-senator Thomas
w. Palmer, has the position of presi-
dent of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton.
Mrs. Palmer came from Maine, the
state which claims the statesman James
G. Blaine as it's own, and she boasts
that the blood of Gov. Winslow, of
Massachusetts, flows in her veins, as
we'll as that of the Winthrops and the
Sullivans, of Boston.
Mrs. Palmer's special work is to up
hold the dignity of her husbands posi-
ton. She has travelled extensively and
has list of acquaintances, second in
size, perhaps, to that of no other wom-
an now in Chicago. When Senator
Palmer was appointed minister to
Spain by President Harrison, Mrs.
Palmer accompanied him to that coun-
try and kept open house in a manner
sufficiently delightful to impress the
idea of American hospitality indeli-
bly, upon the Spanish mind. And dur
ing her long term in Washington, as
the wife of the United States senator
from Michigan, she also entertained a
great deal.
Mrs. Palmer's maiden name was
Elizabeth Pitts Inervill. And, by the
oldest freak of fortune in the world,

AN EXCELLENT MEMORY.
How . Young American Inundated Sew

How . Young American HumilIated Sew
eral German Omcers.
A good story is told of bright young
American and several German officers,
who, at dinner one evening, set out
to make him uncomfortable by chatting
him about his country. The young
man is Albert d. Washburn, the United
States consular agent at Magdeburg,
and the story is told by the Albany
Journals:
''Henry E. Merritt, the consul at
Chemnitz, was the first one of the
Americans attacked with taunt from
one Of the Germans that he could not
give the names of the presidents of the
United States. Merritt named them
over with some elaboration, and drew
from his German friend the declaration
that he did not believe that there was
another American present who could
do 1t. Young Washburn had said
nothing until now; but he broke in and
declared: Il can do 1t, and will give
you the vice presidents He was about
to begin, when a second thought struck
him, and he said: While am about it,
might as well give you the secretaries
Of state too
"The Germans got down book Civ
ing the names and kept tab on the
young man as he correctly went
through the list. They were pretty
we'll backed down already, but Wash
burn had no idea of letting them off so
easily. Now 1 would like to know,
he said, whether any of you can give
the names of the Prussian rulers from
the time Of Charlemagne and his sons
down to Emperor William?
1.-THE Germans were completely
f1oored. Not one of them could go
half through the list, and they were
on the point of apologizing to the
young Massachusetts, scholar when he
took them down still more by modestly
suggesting: Perhaps had better do
it for you
HE began with Charlemagne and
went through the list without break,
much to the establishment of his Ger
man hosts and the delight of Consul
Edwards and the other Americans.
How did you do it?' asked Merritt.
"'Oh, my father had taste for such
things and taught them to me when I
was boy; and, you see, they are some
times useful to know he quietly re.

The Age of Pericles.

Fame is always hard to define, and it
often appears that the names of the
greatest philosophers of old are I'M
known to many people. A gentleman
was to deliver a lecture upon the cage
OF Pericles' in a country town, and
two of the citizens were speaking of it.
After a few remarks upon the lee
turer, Mr.. Brown asked: "What are
Pericles anyway, Smith2"
''Wen, Brown, don't exactly know,
but it's some kind of shell-fish."
"Oh yesl Then of course the age
has reference to the time they have
been out of water"

RUSSIAN BONDS ARE DurrABLE

A Peculiar Order That Will Interest
Those Doing business With Russia.
New York, May 27.-Much surprise
was caused among the officials of the Gen.
eraI Post Office when the order was pro-
mulgated that the Russian postal authori-
ties had given notice that on and after
June 10 bonds Of the Russian Government
will be liable to Customs duties, both
when imported into or exported from Rus
sia, and also that if discovered in the
mails in that country the amount of 25
per cent. of the value will be retained as
a penalty.
The reason for this action ON the part of
the Russian Government cannot be sur
missed, but in view Of the notice it was de-
cided that packages known to contain
such bonds will be refused, when offered
for mailing at the Post office of this city,
either as registered or ordinary matter.
