He delighted in their mischief and their
quaintness; he loved to puzzle them
with remarks they did not quite I'M
derstand and he never was happier than
when he STROBE down street with one
of his own boys on his shoulder and
another hanging on to his coat tail.
1t was fortunate for Mr.. Lincoln's peace
Of mind that he could laugh at the an
tics Of children for two of his own
boys Willie and Tad, are historic in
Springfield, ILL.,, Mr.. LincoIn's home be-
fore his election, and in Washington,
for their pranks. Lincoln's humorous
Characterization Of their performances
are still told by old friends of the
family. The Rev. NJ. Alcott of Elgin,
Ill, has a story of a scene in Spring
field which he loves to tell.
FTDGETY TAD.
One Sunday morning Mr. Lincoln
was seen coming away from church I'M
usually early. The sermon could not
have been more than half way through.
Tad was slung across his left arm
like pair of saddle bags and Mr.. Lin
coin was striding along with long and
deliberate steps toward his home On
enc of the street corners he encountered
a group of his fellow townsmen, who
knew him well and who seemed to show
surprise at his early departure from
church, all alone except the boy. Mr..
Lincoln anticipated the question and
which was about to be put by the
group, and, taking his figure speech
from practice, with which they were
only too familiar, said: Gentlemen, [
entered this colt, but he kicked around
so | had to withdraw him.
Tad not only kicked around IN
church, but he was incorrigible wher-
ever put. 1t was he who one reception
day at the White house placed two
chairs back to back beside the stairs
in the hall leading to the east room,
and stretched across them an ironing
board which he had found in the kiicch-
en-. On this improvised table ne placed
a pitcher of lemonade and a plate of
cookies, which he had begged from the
cook. Then, standing behind his stand.
he called to the passing visitors:
Lemonade here, cents q, glass;
Before discovered and hustled away
Tad had taken in several So bills from
callers who appreciated the humor of
the situation.
THE WHITE HOUSE MENAGERIE
Tad was particularly fond of animals
anu a. times curing the Lincoln admin
lstration the White house contained a
whole menagerie, which Mr. Lincoln
never allowed to be interfered with.
Moncure Conway describes an episode
in connection with these pets which
shows what pleasure the president got
from them. Mr. Conway had gone to
the White house with a very solemnlv
disposed commission who wanted ito
talk over the situation" with the chief
executive. The president met them
laughing like a boy, saying that in
the morning one of his children had
come to inform him that the cat had
kittens and now another announced
that the dog had puppies and that the
White house was in a decidedly sensa-
donal state. The commission looked
very much shocked at the gaiety of the
president, but in a moment his smiles

THIS ~ TOUGH.
Ramsay's BOndsmeD Have NO Claim
Upon His Estate.

Carlyle, Ills, May I7.-Judge Wall,
of the-circuit court, has decided that the
ten Chicago bondsmen of the late state
treasurer, Ramsay, are not entitled to
reimburse themselves out of bis estate
for $4,000 they paid into the state
treasury 10 make good his deficit. The
court held that the lending of state
funds to the bank by his sureties to be
illegal, and to be against public policy
and that the arrangement with his
bondsmen tended to malfeasance in
office. According to this the bondsmen
are liable to prosecution under the Grim
inal code and it is said that Carlyle cred
itors will attempt to have the bondsmen
indicted for conspiracy.
The opinion was filed in the case of
John Witbeck and other general credit
ors, who sought to present the allowance
of the bondsmen's claim against the es-
tate The ten bondsmen, who are bank
ers and representative bankers are:
John A. Wftbeck of the Fort Dearborn
National bank; John A. King of the
Fort Dearborn National bank John R.

LIKE A FEATHER,
Hundreds of Tons OF Water Picked
Up i'm Benton Harb0r.

Benton Harbor, Mich, May IA
most unusual and exciting sight was
witnessed from the bluff last evening,
when hundreds of tons of water were
carried sxyward from the lake by the
wind, which for a time assumed the pro-
portions of cyclone. A sudden squali
became noticeable few miles south
The sky became black and the small
vessels on the lake hastily put about for
the harbor Hardly had the last one
entered port, when a water spout be-
came visible on the northern horizon
The immense cloud of water was clear
ly defined. 1t stood at an angle of about
As degrees; the top appeared larger,
standing toward the south. At first it
appeared as an immense column of
spray and mist, but soon changed so
that it looked to be all water. 1t APP
peared to follow the coast line about
three miles from shore. As it travelled,
it spread with the base of the column in
a continuous wave.
When it reached a point three miles
north It was seen to burst. The roar of
the falling water could be heard as it
fell. Five minutes afterward the storm
cleared and the sky became clear. The
wind spent its force on land, whirling
everything that was loose. No estimate
of the height of the watersPout or vol
ume of water it contained can be made.
1t was very large in diameter and ex-
tended as far in the sky as the eye could
reach

New York, May ITe-Henry Cuyler
Bunner, editor of Puck, died this after
noon at his residence in Nutley, N. J.,
from tubercular consumption. Mrs.
Bunner and children we're at his bed
side when death came
Mr.. Bunner was born in Oswego, N.
Y, on August 3, 1855. He was educated
in French school, New York city. His
first venture in life was as an employe
of Portuguese business firm in this
city, but the work was not congenial and
he soon became connected with the New
York papers and for some years worked
as reporter. In 1877, Schwarzman &
Keppler issued the first edition of Puck.
1t was then a German publication. Be
fore long the German edition was sup
plemented with an English edition and
tor and later was placed in charge as
editor.
Under his editorship, and with the IL
Illustrations of Keppler, the publication
ODLalnea a WlQG circulation anu the
property became very valuable. In ad-
dition to his work on Puck, Mr.. Bunner
was frequent contributor to the lead
ing magazines, and was the author of
number of works. The most notable of
these were "a Woman of Honor" pub
lished in 1883, "Airs from Arcadia and
Elsewhere" (poems) 1884 1.-THE Midget
in 1886; 1.-THE Story of A New York
House," Ia 1887; and ain Parties Ship"
a collection of stories In 1884. In the
latter production he co-labored with
Brander Matthews.
Mr. Bunner had been sick for long
time. Last winter he was sent to the
Pacific coast The trip did him little
or no good, and few weeks ago he
returned to his Nutley home. Since
then Mrs Bunner has been almost con-
stantly at his bedside The deceased
leaves three children. The Oldest is
nine years old, the youngest an infant.
