DOLLY MADISoN.s TACT.
How She Managed to Win crybsdy'
Heart

How She Managed to Win Evcrybedy's
Heart
1t was the tact and genuine kindli-
ness of Dolly Madison that made her
one of the most prominent of American
women. Several episodes mentioned
In Mrs. Goodwin's life OF Dolly Madi-
son" are significant of this. It enc of
her levees, her attention was drawn
10 q rustic visitor, q youth who was
evidently suffering all the torments of
embarrassment. He had at last VEN
tured to help himself to a cup of cof-
fee, when Mrs. Madison walked up and
addressed him. In the surprise of the
moment, the lad dropped the saucer and
strove to crowd the cup into his pocket.
His tactful hostess took no notice of the
accident, except to observe that in such
a crowd no one could avoid being
jostled, and straightway turned the
conversation to the boys family. and
ended by sending her regards 10 his
excellent mother, and bidding the serv-
ant bring another cup of coffee. On
another occasion two old ladies from
the country arrived at the white house
while the family were still at break
fast. To the surprise of the rural Wis
Itors, the woman they lad come to see
appeared in stuff dress OF dark gray,
protected by large housewifely white
apron, and with linen kerchief pinned
about her neck. Her simplicity of
manner and attire completely swept
away their awe, and before departing
one of them found courage to ask:
Perhaps you wouldn't mind if 1 kissed

women was hit as she fired into the
dense gray ranks, the other. either
wounded or fainting, slid from her sad
die, and both disappeared beneath the
press.
While Slater's Horse was thus melted
apace, Slater rode in the front and knew
not how the others Jared. He only knew
that he was hewing his desperate way
forward as a bushman hevs his way
through the tropical Jungle. he had lost
his hat and his hair was clothed and
dripping with blood, but he took nc
heed of wounds; all his effort was to
reach the open space bev ond. And al
last, bleeding horse and man, he swayed
into the clear ground and looked about
for his men.
Not one had followed; he was alone
The women he had rescued were gone
too. He stared about as if dazed, while
the Spaniards stood and wondered at the
man who had done so mighty in the
battle. The blood was pouring from a
deep cut in the neck of his horse The
animals knees began to totter, and pres
entity it sank to the ground.
Slater fell with it. The troops rushed
forward, but when they came TO him ne
was dead. with the red blade still
clinched in his fingers.
And the women for whom this score
of men had recklessly thrown away
their lives lay tramplel and crushed Re
meath the hoofs of the guerilla horse
But shall il therefore be said of Skaters
Troop that their sacrifice was made in
vain?

heads, and urged on the plunging
horses. The Spaniards directly in front
strove 20 get clear. to have more room
for fighting, and the insurgents pushed
forward TO the furthest inch. 1t really
seemed, for little, that they would win
through the Spanish ranks.
The guerillas next the troop were cx-
changing desperate sword strokes with
! their antagonists, while those farther
out were pressing closer and firing Wild
ly into the swirl of fight with revolvers.
Five of Slater's men had gone down he
meath the blows that came from front
and rear alike. There were but 10 left.
and those redoubled their efforts &c
break through the trap that held them
50 fast. Slater rode in front, slashing
to right and left with huge machcte.
He cut down an opposing trooper, pis-
toled the horse as the rider fell, and
spurred forward into the space thus
provided. His men followed, and by
sheer dint of blows managed to gain a
few yards more. But the foe gathered
close, and again two of the handful
went down. The air was all a-quiveI
with steel blades about tine fight. But
now the insurgents had got fairly in
n. otion once more. they were slowly vet
surely thrusting their way through The
circling crowd. But they lost a man
for every yard they won. Pistol bullets
hummed through the melee, striking
down friend and fee alike. One of the

A SUNSTRUCK TREE.
The Singular Cause of the Death of q

Sugar Maple.
In the last of Meehan's Month.
ly the editor tells of being summoned to
hold an inquest over a dead sugar-maple
tree. 1t was supposed to have been de-
stroyed by leak in the city gas main
near its roots, but an examination con-
WINGED Mr.. Meehan that the tree had died
literally fror' sunstroke.
This maple had been planted on the
street about 25 years. and was some
four feet in girth. The trunk, how
ever, instead of being cylindrical, wa,
sh ped like a triangular prisrn-a pc
culiarity owing to the fact that on three
sides of it the inner bark and wood had
been killed, while the outer bark con.
tinued 20 cover up the injury so that the
only living wood was at the angles Of
the trunk. Practically no more thar
one-third of the surface Of the TRUNK
was alive, and when the exceedingly
warm weather Of last month came the
limited number Of ducts were not SUI
ficient to supply the moisture needed
to meet the rapid Transportation from
so large a surface of foliage; conse
gently the leaves wilted and the tree
died.

ter portions are found dead the barl
and the decaying part of the wood
should be wholly cut away and the
denuded part painted to check the rot

over such a scar, and the life of the
tree may thus be eventnallv saved.

It Is claimed that Notwithstanding
LII Hung Chang has shown some uber-
atty of views toward modern improve
ments and education, he is at heart "a
hater of foreigners. and has an abiding
faith in Chinese institutions and meth
DDS of government. He Is, it is true,
a great admirer of Confucian philos-
ophy, and remembering the enduring
history of his people we can hardly
wonder at his devotion to the institu-
tons which have made that history
possible. When we call to mind the
experience China has had with certain
western nations, 1t might not be con-
sidered strange IL bis attachment "a
foreigners was not very ardent; but

that he feels the need of foreign aid

A slLo IN A BARN.
The One Here Described Is inexpensive
and Efficient.

The One Here Described Is inexpensive
and Efficient.
One of the simplest and best con-
structed slices built in a barn was cir
cular in shape and built of pine slaves
six inches wide and two inches thick,
which had been beveled at the mill for
the purpose
The foundation was made of concrete
and upon this the slaves were set. The
circular form was obtained by simply
mailing barrel slaves on the outside to
hold them in place until the hoops could
be put on. The use of barrel slaves in
this manner saved the making of a
frame around which to build the silo.
The hoops or bands should be made
of galvanized iron. the size being about
one-half inch in diameter, and these
should be put on at distance of three
to three and a half feet apart, one being
placed within rs inches of the top and
bottom of the silo.
The method OF keeping these bands
tight and of taking up the slack due
to the shrinkage of the slaves is very
simple and good one. Pieces of we'll
seasoned oak, four by four inches by
about four feet long, have holes bored
through them for the insertion of til .
hoops. Large nuts with washers are
put on the ends of the hoops and then
by simply tightening these nuts the silo

LONGS TO BE A SLAVE.
A Southern Negro Who Wants TO 20 Into
bondage Again.

bondage again.
Some Of the letters that Hayor
Thacher gets are curiosities in their
way. People from out of town who
wish to find out anything in the city OF
Albany invariably write letters to the
mayor. 1t doesn't make any difference
what the information desired relates to,
the mayor, they think, ought TO know.
says the Albany Argus.
A letter was received from a negro
away down south, who, Mr.. Monahan
says, has been dead for 30 years-not
literally a corpse. but deceased as far
as his grip on hustling, progressive
nineteenth century life was concerned.
This man believes that slavery Is still
an institution In this great land, and
is ignorant of the glorious fact that the
masters whip hasn't cracked for so
years. He never heard of the presidents
proclamation, never knew that the north
had whipped the south. and that 1,ooo.-
600 lives had been sacrificed to free the
slave In his letter TO the mayor this
colored man asked 20 be brought north
and sold back into slavery. There Is no
question that he found IL impossible to
live In the south. and longed again for
the responsibility from self-support
Of slavery days which he thought still
fourished in the south.
