LEWIS ON MCLEAN.

This is what Alfred Henry Lewis
says about John r. Mclean: He is the
Caesar of the gas company of the Dis.
trict of Columbia. l paid tribute in the
way of gas bills to Mr.. Mclean myself
for about five years and have regarded
him with awe w since. AS a gas
company Mr.. Mclean is a serious prop
o~sition. But he has lighter moments.
wherein he ccurs as jovial and gay.
Once Mr.. McLean's bizarre, fantastic
taste in color plunged the Chinese EN-
bassy into mourning. This inadvert-
ent grief on the Chinese part was
brought about in this fashion: Mr.. Nc
Lean. in order, no doubt. to confer a
roseate tinge to what was otherwise a
dark and gloomy thing, determined
to make out his gas bills on paper OF a
peculiar pink. One day the pig-tailed
mental busting the hallway of the Chi
nese Embassy, struck one of these
peach-blow evidences of a gas indebt-
ednass. He carried it to the legation
secretary, who took it between his
taper fingers, and, turning from the
game Of fan tan in which he had been
~engrossed, attempted to make it out.
The secretary couldn't read it. He
was a gifted MOngol and could spell out
a wash bill or translate the history set
forth on some tea box, but when called
thus suddenly to bat on one of Mr.. Nc
Leans gas bills he famed out. One
thing. however, offered a key to the
mystery. The pink color of the bill
was the color of mourning in far Cath
ay. Evidently that was it. Some
great official was dead; possibly the
president. The secretary's almond
eyes began to fill with legation tears
and he choked up and took to sobbing
officially. He notified the rest of the
Chinese contingent. The legation
house was at once locked and shutter
ed: the Chinese flag, with it's dragon
reaching for the red apple in one cor
ner, was half-masted: walls, groans and
yells OF Chinese O and sorrow began
to harrow up the neighborhood. They
kept up the racket for an hour, and the
row they made for volume and deep.sea
grief could have given the wake of a
Connemara mar cards and spades.
Inc police at last pulled the doorbell
and desired to know wherefore all this
bitter woe. The sinister gas bill was
produced. All of this funeral was

gorgeous colorings. Mr.. Mclean is

MIR. McLean's boom. You cannot see
him, but Beriah Wilkins, publisher OF
the Washington Post. and incidentally
manager OF Mr.. McLean's political
d~estinies, is sitting just in front of Mr.
Mclean. MIR. Wilkins is sitting on a
divan, with his legs furled beneath
him like a Turks. This is to keep
callers from pulling them. Mr.. Nc
Lean is very fond of Mr.. Wilkins. to
whom he looks up for his wisdom. and
whom he respects for his valor. Mr..
Wilkins has a great war record. He
enlisted at the beginning of the late
carnage with d s~ixty-day regiment. and
the whole blood-thirsty outfit went
surging south. This was in Ohio.
which state is fortunate as the parent
of both Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Wilkins.
Mr.. Wilkins and his brave comrades
crossed the Ohio river. They at once
proceeded to throw up earthworks.
They compiled a redoupt so strong and
frowning that no reb ever came near
it. This is the climax of war. to build
a fort so plainly impregnable that the
foe will pass it up. Just as Mr.. Will
kins and his regiment got the cornice
on their Notifications the sixty DAYS
were up. The regiment held a mass
meeting. The question was: would
they ~re-enlist?' The colonel presided
and called for remarks. All hung
back. AT last Mr.. Wilkins, then a
young man, with sunny hair, like corn
silk, and a laughing eye stepped for

words Mr.. Wilkins crossed over to the
Ohio side of the line and broke his
shovel against a tree, saying, $50 end
all my battles; ali my dreams of glory"
Carried away by his example, the en-
tire regiment followed Mr.. Wilkins. |
They returned to Ohio as one man.
The worlds history was saved many a
blood-bedabbled page by the few words
and prompt steps of Mr.. Wilkins, for
