One of the good things already ris-
ing out of the threatening of war is the
growth Of patriotic feeling and love OF
country. Yet another and a larger
good is the love of peace, the prayer
for peace and the careful studying OF
tho things that make for peace. Per-
haps a yet larger good will be the dis
covery of the great and precious inter-
ests the two countries have in common
and the drawing nearer together of the
two great English-speaking peoples
into acknowledged sympathies and
aims for the good of the whole world.

President Hayes had for one of his
Ohio neighbors testy old fellow who
kept small truck farm. During Mr..
Hayes four years in the white house,
on one of his visits home, he passed this
old mans farm and found him planting
potatoes. The president, being some
what of farmer himself, noticed some
eccentricity in his neighbours style of
planting, and after little chat called
attention to 1t. The old man defended
his method and finally Mr.. Hayes said
as he started along: well, l don't
think you will get the best kind of a
crop If you plant in that manner" The
farmer rested his elbows on the fence.
"They amt neither one of US above
havin' fault found with u.s." he said,
but If you jest go on presidentin' the
United States your way and l go on
plantin' pertaters my way guess we
won't be no wuss off in the end" Elk

the Shoreham. Foote unfortunately
doesn't spend much time in Washing
ton. When he is there he appears very
seldom in society and in spite of the
fact that he has been crowned for his
good looks Washington gets very little
satisfaction out of him. Foote'S pet
amusement is horseback riding, and
when he is mounted on a spirited black
animal he appears an even more per-
feet specimen of man than on foot.

MRS. VAN RENSSELAER,.
New York Society Woman who Is
Engaged in School Reform.

A New York Society Woman who Is
Engaged in School Reform.
Prominent New York society women
seldom take actice part in public affairs.
There is now and then an exception to
the rule, and one of these exceptions at
present is Mrs. Schuyler Van Rens-
selaer. This lady is quite as good, from
a family point of view, as anybody in
Gotham, for both her own family and
that of her husband are derived from
the very best bluest and most aristo-
cratic Dutch blood in Gotham. Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, recently went to AL
bany to make an address before the
New York state senate committee on
cities. Her speech was for the promo
ton of the bill pending in the legisla-
ture for the reform of schools in cities.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, is deeply inter-
ested in the affairs of the public
schools. She declared to the commit
tee that the schools in New York were
inefficient, and for that reason their
clIentage was drawn entirely from the
poor people. She said that nowadays
in New York, SO poor was the system
OF public education that no one who
could afford to send their children to a
private school would even think Of
permitting them to be enrolled in the
public schools. Several Of the commit
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1896-04-16

tee did not like the tone of the lady's
remarks. They claimed that her
words cast reflection upon the poor
people, whom the public schools were
intended to benefit. Mrs. Van Rens-
selaer pointedly objected to this wrong
Interpretation of her address. She will
continue the work for the raising of the
grade of the public education in her
town.

Foote, of Port Henry, has at last been
settled in favor of Foote's adherents,
and henceforth he will be known as the
handsomest man in congress, says the
New York World.
Congress always has its handsomest
man. 1t may not seem great honor,
but 1t gains for a man an amount OF
attention from the feminine half of
Washington that can't be had in any
easier way, while the masculine por-
ton of the place usually is bitterly OPP
posed to the man who wins the title.
In the house of representatives the
galleries delight to watch the Apollo OF
the house, and he shares with the
speaker himself the attention of the
spectators.
With all his good looks, Mr.. Foote
happens to be unassuming and has
shown such disposition to mind his
own affairs in the proper state of humil-
ity for new member and young
man that he is more popular and more
sincerely liked than the ordinary
Apollo Of congress is.
New York's rival beauties have made
the decision of the congressional Apollo
more than exciting.
Bennett, of Brooklyn, has fine fig
ure, on which he puts good clothes in
a correct fashion. This happened to be
just where Foote was lacking. He was
at least three inches under Bennett in
height and of heavier build. He
dresses quite as well as Bennett and
with an eye to artistic effects that was
dangerous for Benefits chances of win
ming the championship. Bennett, too,
is bachelor, while Foote is married.
That, of course, had its effect, because
eligible men are not to be frowned on in
Washington. Benefits mustache was
curly and blonde. Foote's was dark
