PRESIDENTS WHO LOVED CHILL

A Striking Characteristic of Jeffer-
son, Lincoln and Grant.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the BdltlmOTe Dun.
With the exception of Washington, who,
as the paternal parent of the whole coun-
try, may be said to have had the finest
baby of them all. our great presidents have
all been happy fathers. And

presidents, we refer to those

tue of the exceptionally great events in
our history with which they were associ-
ated Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and
Grant-those four certainly are first on the
list. What other names ought to stand in
the same rank with theirs we will not stop
here to discuss. OF these famous four
only the first was childless. And some

But Thomas jefferson was a babies
president. He was confirmed baby wor-
shipper, and when he got through enjoying
the delights Of baby-play as a father, he
began all over again, and enjoyed them
still more as a grandfather. The domes-
tic side of Jefferson's life is one of the
idyls of our history. Tender as a woman
was that great. strang. brainy man, the
largest figure by all odds in the heroic
period of independence winning and con-
stitution making. Devoted to his wife,
and never quite reconciled to her early
death, he had more than fathers love
for his children. He was dotard on ba-
bies, and for the girl baby, child or grand
child, he had a fondness that was extraY-
agant.

fifth, the bear, tired of being rushed,
struck with might and quickness, and
the COW lost four strips of hide half an
inch wide and eighteen inches long.
The COW got her head against the bears
breast, but despite her strength could
not bulge the plantigrade. The bear
was meantime clawing the cows neck
with her hind legs, holding fast with
her forelegs, and biting the back OF the
cows head. The COW was decidedly at
a disadvantage, and was rapidly get
ting the worst of it.
Ike Frazier's bull was over in the
next lot, beyond ridge. and separated
by three line barbed wire fence when
the cows moos of distress reached his
ears. Up went his head to snuff the
air, and then he started up the ridge to
take look around. Arriving there, he
did not stop, for the bear and cow
were now in plain sight, and the cow
was on her knees.
& The bull struck the fence full tilt,
cut one leg and tore streak along his
head, but two posts were broken off
and the bull was able to leap over the
wires. Up the bank he went and
struck the bear in the fore shoulder,
sending her twenty feet. Then, as the
bear staggered to her feet the cub
screamed pitifully, and itself tried to
face the bull as he came again, but one
tender wipe of the old she bears paw
sent it thirty feet to the edge of the
woods. This saved the cub for awhile,
but the old bear, too weak to fight well
and wounded even then to death, was
gashed in the throat till the blood
poured out in the fat, wide jet that
tells of death wound. Next day the
orphaned cub was run up tree bv

President Cleveland's daily mail fire..

upon the suggestions of one-third Of

The greater part of the queer letters,
says the Columbus Dispatch, are from
fanatics, who urge all sorts of rern-
edial legislation to correct what they
believe to be existing evils of COVERT
ment or the distress that has been
brought about through the inaction Of
congress. The strongest of all letters
was received few days ago from a
farmer living in one of the western
states, who asks for an immediate ses..
sion of congress to prevent a strike
which he believes imminent among his
laborers. This farmer says that year
ago he wrote to j. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture, for some rare
varieties of seed, and also requested
that two ''gondolas" be forwarded, as
he believed that there was field fof

that the president call congress in ses-

TAURUS SAILED TN
A Bears Feast Interrupted by q
Cow and q Bull
Mrs. 0ruin Was Enjoying . Spread Of
Veal When the Calls Mother APP
pAared and Made Things Liye-
ly.Au Around.

A sickly looking she bear, followed
by dirty brown cub the height OF
ones forearm, but so much larger that
1t looked squat like woodchuck, was
the first of the big plantigrades to ar
rive in the vicinity of Seaberry Settle
ment, N. Y. She brought with her an
appetite, and her thin pelt hanging
over her gaunt frame showed that she
had carried the appetite good while.
Not so decrepit, says the New York
Sun, was the black and white cow feed
ing on the short green grass along the
south bank near the edge OF the woods.
Her sides were rotund, no ribs were
visible, and her general appearance
was of comfort She paused now and
then to rub down fondly the lank calf
that walked along beside her with
weakened steps.
The old she bear came ambling out Of
the woods with awkward, shutting
steps, walking on the cub as often al
most as on the ground. She saw the cow
and calf, and wrinkled up her nose as
She leaned her head forward the better
to smell as well as to see. To her hum
CRY eyes the calf seemed to be the
sweetest of meat, and with that she
dumped forward, and before the COW
knew it had the calf struck down with
its back broken. With a single bleat
for help the calf died. while the old COW
looked slowly around to see what was
the matter.
She saw the bear wrenching veal cut
let's off her offspring's tanks and the
cub eagerly tapping its first blood. At
that she turned, faced the bear, and
then with head lowered charged. The
cub squealed and ran behind its mother
as the bear raised its head. When the
cow got to where the calf lay the bear
was ten feet to one side, looking sur
Iprised at the interference. She would
have been willing to let matters rest as
they were, but the COW wanted ven
geance.
The cow stood a moment with her
neck stretched above the calf; then
leaping over the carcass she again
charged the bear. Four times she
missed the lodging bear, but at the
