His Grentest Treasure.

One Of the Cabinet women tells very
pretty story about the President on that
eventful day in November over a year ago,
when his election hung tremblingly in the
balance. Accompanying her husband she
had gone to New York. and was at the
Clevelands' house. where a small COM
pany Of friends spent the day watching
returns as rapidly as they were sent
over the wires During the afternoon
little Ruth was brought in rosy and
glowing from her daily airing. AS the
child entered the room Mr.. Cleveland
turned to the Cabinet women at his side
and remarked as he held out his arms
for his baby daughter: Here comes
