Their Slave Was a Princess.

San African princess was owned be.
fore the war by family in Scott
County, Va" said E. L. Dement, to the
corridor man at the Southern. "She
lived to a great age, and never lost
sight Of the fact that she was of royal
blood She was the daughter of one
Of the most powerful kings in Africa,
and had wandered away with a re-
tinue Of servants when the party was
captured by a slave-trader. Her fine
physique caused her to bring a high
price, and she could only be trained to
work by teaching the other slaves to
do Difference to her, which they read
lily did, realizing instinctively that she
was born to command. A grown wo-
man when captured, she had lived
with the same family for over seventy
years at the time her freedom was de-
clared, and she continued to reside on
the plantation in a cabin set apart for
her eighteen or twenty years after the
war closed, making her considerably
over hundred years of age. She was
known almost throughout the State as
the African princess, and in her later
years she was a sort of queen over the
negroes in the region where she lived,
being waited ON in her little cabin by
a royal retinue of servants whenever
she wanted them to do her bidding."-

A HORSE IN. THE WHITE HOUSE.
He Eats and Sleeps Under the Roof That
Shelters the President.

He Eats and Sleeps Under the Roof That
Shelters the President.
A horse has his home in the White
House. This is a literal fact which
! visitors never discover and which few
| Washington people know. The horse
which shares the Executive Mansion
with the President isn't a thorough
! bred. He has neither pedigree nor
| record. He is just plain, everyday
horse, with a white star in his fore
head, a faithful companion to Edgar
Il. Beckley.
And who is Edgar R. Beckley? The
man who, for twenty-five years, has
carried to and from the White House
all of the interesting and valuable mail
received and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty, says
the GlobeDsmocrat There are men
who seem bound TO become monuments
Of fidelity to routine trusts. Beckley
IS one of them. Rain or shine, in all
seasons, he makes the hourly trips be-
tween the White House and the city
Post-Office. He is the White House
mail-carrier. And the horse that has
his home in the White House carries
Beckley.
The part of the mansion set apart
for the Eorse is one corner Of the con-
servatory. A thin partition is all that
separates the roomy stall from the or
chids. There is just room enough for
the stall and temporary supply Of
feed, and the horse eats and sleeps
under the same roof with the President
Of the United States.

Quite Right.

A funny incident, accompanied by q
witty retort, was enjoyed the other
day as the crowd was surging out OF
one of the indianapolis theatres. In
front of a party of gentlemen was a
man with his coat collar turned III
about his ears. why, there is B y
said one Of the party. He doesn't
seem to see us; | guess I'll wake him
up" At the same time, and without
stopping to think, he stepped forward
and hit the bundled-up individual a
terrific slap on the back. The man
turned around as he received the blow
and disclosed to the astonished eyes
of the hilarious gentleman the face of
a total stranger. He heSitated mo-
ment before the calm and inquiring
gaze Of the man in front, and then,
stepping forward, said: Il beg your
pardon, sir; but, to tell the truth, /
took you for another man."

DIR. Hale on the Crash of 1893.

In 1884 DR.. Edward Everett Hale's
Gsvel of The Fortunes of Rachel was
erSt published. The novel runs to the
end Of the century, and, in the year
1900, Tom Poore, at Washington, re-
views the last twenty years of the
nineteenth century. He says in this
review: THE shares rose again stead
lily for five years, when / sold again.
The crash of 1893 came, and every
body supposed manufacturing was at
an end. At the lowest depression L
bought Stocking shares again. =

Though He was Father of the Baby, He
DID Not Count.
The father thought ne should have

last-that is, tried to reject it.

Bill"
"Yes, and every one will call him
Bill" she protested. Il don't like the
name. Augustus is better"
You won't make the changer
81 don't see why I should"
Very WELL" he said, as he started
for his hat and coat; I'm going to the
office"
The next morning, as he was putting
on his coat, he asked:
How about that name?'
"Why, We'll call him George Angus
tus,' she returned in surprise.
''Good-day," he said, as he went out
and slammed the door.
When he came home that night he
asked:
rs it still Gussie?'
Augustus" she corrected.
After supper he remarked, sneer-
ingly:
''Gussie! Gussie! That's a nice kind
Of a name, isn't it?'
Augustus is very nice name,' she
replied, calmly.
Before going to church for the bap-
tism the following morning he asked,
sarcasticaily:
DO you still stick to Gussie?"
George Augustus" she said, sweet
ly.
He shut himself in his room for a
few minutes and wrote plainly on a
sheet of paper, George William"
Then he put it and $40 bill in an
envelope and joined the baptismal
party. Once at the church he slipped

The father sighed and gave up the
struggle, but he is getting his revenge
now by informing admiring friends in
his wife's presence that the baby's
name is "Gussie''

CRANKY GUESTS.

Experience OF Hotel Clerks In Dealing
With Some uf Them.
Il cannot sleep in that room," said a
guest at the Hotel Denechaud last
evening as he walked to the desk in
the office and threw the key upon it.
What is the matter with it," asked
Mr.. Justin Denechaud, who was be-
hind the desk at the time.
There is nothing the matter with it
except that the bed is in the wrong
place. the guest replied. For more
than twenty years l have slept in a
bed with the head towards the north,
and it has become such q habit with
me that it would be actually impossi-
BILE for me to sleep in bed with the
head in any other direction"
1T will be impossible for me to give
you a room containing bed in that
position" said the clerk, as he ran his
eye over the list of rooms. The hotel
is well filled tonight, and / have only
two vacant rooms, but l will have the
bed turned for you," and calling the
porter Mr.. Denechaud instructed him
to turn the bed in the gentleman's
room so that the head would be to the
north. The guest followed the porter
upstairs, and as nothing further was
heard of him it is presumed that he
retired and slept the sleep of the
blessed.
There is no accounting for tastes"
said Mr.. Denechaud, turning to the re-
porter, land the funny experiences we
have in the hotel business would fill
volume. You noticed that gentleman
Just Dow who demanded that his bed be
changed with the head towards the
north. Before the night is over we
may have calls for beds with their
heads turned to every point of the
compass, and of course we are obliged
to accommodate every one. [ remem
ber an instance like this several years
ago. A gentleman, slightly under the
influence of liquor, came into the hotel
one night and, producing pocket
compass, said that he wished a room
where the head Of the bed should be
placed to the northeast We sent two
boys with the man and they placed the
bed as requested. The joke about it
was that the compass was furnished
with little stop, which held the indi-
Gator in certain position, and it so
happened that the gentleman's bed,
which had been carefully placed di-
rectly northeast, according to the COM
pass, was in reality so placed that the
head was directly to the south. The
gentleman discovered his mistake the
next morning, and I presume was
cured of the fad. New Orleans Times.
