HE NEVER SERVED.
vice President ON the Pierce Ticket
Takes the Oath I'm Cuba.
Chicago Internationally

Chicago Times-Herald.)
William Rufus King, born April 6. 17ss
died April Is. 1853, was Vice President
Of the United States who never served
In that capacity. and one who took the
oath Of office on foreign soil, something
which can be said of no other executive
officer who has ever been elected by the
people Of this country. King was an in
valid, but his friends urged him TO take
second place on the ticket with Pierce
in 1852. Both were elected. but Mr.. Kings
health failed SO rapidly he was forced
to go to Cuba early in 1853, some two and
a malt months before Inauguration day.
Not having returned to the United States
by March 4, Congress passed a special
act authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him in as
Vice President at about the hour when
Pierce was taking the oath of office at
Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
dot. and on the day appointed, at a plan
tation on one of the highest hills in the
vicinity Of Matanzas, Mr. King was made
Vice President Of the United States amid
the solemn "Vaya vol con Dios" God be
with YOU of the creoles who had as
sembled to witness the unique spectacle.
Vice President King returned to his home
at Cahawka, Ala, arriving at that place
April II, 1853, and died on the following
day. His remains were laid to rest on
his plantation, known as Pine Hills.

A HEN-EATING HORSE.
A Freak for Whose Discovery Officer
McAIIister Is Responsible.

Sanitary officer Dan McAllister Is re-
sponsible for the discovery of the very
latest freak in the animal kingdom-a
hen-eating horse. officer McAllister
lives at 2O5 Meridian street. Mr.. Ross
Is his next door neighbor. Mr.. Ross
keeps a. family horse and a lot of
chickens.
Yesterday morning about l o'clock
Officer McAllister was awakened by
the lusty squawking of one of Mr..
Ross hens. The protests of the hen
were so eloquent that Officer McAllister
was persuaded that something was
wrong. vision of hen-roost, black
Niger, and big sack fitted across his
recently aroused senses, and Selling his
pistol from under his pillow he rushed,
deshabille, from the house and across a
vacant lot to the point whence the
squawks had apparently come. Before
he reached the spot, the sounds had
died away into the stiffness of the
night
officer McAllister hung himself over
q fence and waited. Mr.. Ross big,
black horse, standing under a large
tree, apparently sleepily repulsing
armies of gnats with his tail, was the
only living thing in sight. officer Nc
Allister was about to conclude that Mr..
Niger and his chicken had eloped,
when suddenly the horse threw his head
up among the branches of the tree and
forthwith there fioated foarth upon the
post-midnight air such plaintive
squawks as never before emanated
from the highly cultured voice Of a
chicken, or sounded the death knell of
nigger's fond hopes.
While officer McAllister was looking,
hardly knowing whether to believe his
eyes and ears, the horses head came
down from among the branches and
suspended from his teeth by her tail was
a large, fat old mother hen, f1uttering
with might and main. Whatever the
horses intentions might have been, he
did not carry them out. The bond Of
union between him and his prey was too
unsubstantial. Bringing the chicken
down to the ground with the action
common to carnivarous animal, the
horse gave her shake or two, when 10
and behold his hold slipped, and with a
parting squawk of indignation Mrs. Hen
went for the brushes, presenting to her
late captor wake that was as bare Of
feathers as the unmatched chick. She
had saved her life at the loss of her tail.
AS both the horse and the chickens
belonged to the same man, officer Nc
Allister decided he had no right to Of
ficially interfere, and retraced his steps
to his own domicile and went back to
bed. The gentleman's reputation for So
briefly is above reproach.

WESTERN TENDERNESS.
About the Poor Strangers
Dead Baby.
(Tacona L.edger.)

(Tacoma Ledger.)
Monday before the days hustle had be-
gun, a newspaper man saw passing
along the opposite side Of the street
man going riverward. bearing in his
arms a tiny coffin. His face bore the
impress of intense sorrow, while down
his cheeks ran the hot tears. which SO
dimmed his vision that, in spite Of his
endeavors, his steps were wavering as
he went onward with his precious bur-
den. At his side was a woman. evident
ly sorrow stricken. but who spoke. sooth-
ingly as her saddened heart could, words
of comfort to the all but fainting man
at her side. They were man and wife,
strangers here, and the burden that ne
bore was their only child, that, In the
evening before, had suddenly died. Be-
hind them followed friend, upon whose
shoulders was the rough pine box In
which the little coffin was soon to be
placed. This was all there was OF dis
play or of cortege-three Of them and the
dead baby! That they were poor, there
was no question. That they were stran-
gers: that there was dearth of sympa-
thy and countenance of their loss by the
world about them, was most apparent.
Some one-great hearted and kind
standing near, said:
Perhaps they have need OF help; let
us go and see."
Another said: "None seem to know
them
Then some one asked Have they no
friends in their distress?"
The answer to the questioning came
quickly: for, impulsively, the reporter
and those near him stepped behind the
man who carried the rude pine box.
Soon another and yet another Joined In
the procession as IL passed onward up
Water street. spontaneously, SO 1t
seemed, people joined the cortege-why'
they knew not--from shop, saloon, store
house and office, so that by common
impulse, were there showing by their
kindly ways the ever present sympathy
in the human heart for other hearts In
sorrow and distress. And when the tiny
coffin had been placed, by hands the par
ents never knew, in the little pine oox
preparatory to being put on the Will
lapa boat, lad who had just landed
a cargo of fragrant flowers, for sale upon
the streets, placed wealth of white III
les and forget-me-nots over the baby's
quiet breast. The mother looked her un-
utterable thanks, while the father, after
silently gazing into the sympathetic
faces about him, turned his fearful eyes
heavenward and said, prayerfully:
Blessed be the name Of the Lord!
Though am in the land Of the stranger,
yet am surrounded by friends"

SHE HAD SEEN SINFUL.
A Kentucky Girl One Ahead of a
BIarsted Britisher.

A bright Kentucky girl, who made a
whirl Of the Eastern seaside resorts last
season, met distinguished Englishman
of title, who took quite fancy 10 her.
One day, as they were walking around
together at garden party, or some So
cial function given by a Newport swell,
he commented on the lamentable fash
ion of the Americans in clipping the En-
glish language. chopping off letters and
falling to give every word it's complete
pronunciation. He considered such neg
ligence lamentable, and added that it
was even vulgar
The Kentucky girl said nothing, but
later, when he joined a group of which
she was the centre, he made some allu-
sion to her tour abroad, and asked
what impressed her most in London.
"Sinpul" she replied, gravely. II have
seen nothing which pleased and i'm
pressed me more"
"Sinpul," exclaimed the Englishman
wonderingly; why, do not recall any
such place. 1t is hardly possible thai
you, perfect stranger. would see more

well. did see Sinpul," she reiterated
land liked it better than anything"
What do you mean?" queried tn,
amazed foreigner; what is Sinpul?"
"Oh. we Americans call it st. Paul,
laughed the bright Kentuckian, "but a.
you English call Saint John Sinjun,
supposed, of course, you called Sain
Paul Sinpul."

A VISITORS IMPRESSION OF NASH

From Nashville Daily Sun.
l have been in the city inves tigating
schools for girls, not as matter OF Curl
osity, but with view to placing my
children in school. The educational adj
vantages to which Nashville lays claim
az an educational center, and justly go,
must certainly enter largely into its pros
perity as well as it's manufacturing inter-
ests. l have found the university, col
lege, academy private school, all of which
are good. These are what l expected to
find, but a home school for girls is what

in all these schools for girls to commend

premises are neat, clean and attractive

me that master hand is at the helm.
l was particularly struck with the ar
rangement Of the department of music.
The large hall contains the piano OF the
director. The practice rooms open in o
this hall. The glass doors of the practice
rooms permit the director TO have full
view of pupils practicing. The pianos
are new, just from the factory. "They
are things OF beauty, and will be a Joy
forever" to music pupils. This music
hall presents an inspiring sight. The
furnishing of the three dining halls is

Italian marble nantes, carved doors,
with silver finishing, were revelation
to me in boarding school. Had read
this in catalogue should imagine it

as being admirably adapted to their
work. They were educated women, not
