statue in Wall street. IL his statements are

forthcoming from reliable sources further
proofs to substantiate his claims. | shall still

Between tho years ls+3 and 1s45 my father
was connected with Bellevue In nm official capa-
city. At that time q gentleman named Lough-
borrow was superintendent OF the institution
and resided on the premises. He had n son
about my own age-about eight or ten years
whom, 1t was my custom to visit almost every
Saturday.
One Of the most impressive lessons that I ever
learned regarding. Washington was derived
from the Information | then received that no

building facing the river. 1t seemed to he

Mr.. Days statement refers 10 a period since
1857 and says that the Board Of ten governors
had had charge or Bellevue tor ten years prior to
that year. 1t was the adveut OF this Board of
Governors that terminated my visits to the place,

Before the end of the summer there will be
assembled in the harbor the finest fleet of Amer
lean war ships ever seen here. and hotel men are
asking why New York isn't going to be the most

A Humorist's Wild Fancy becomes . Pain

iully Stern heality.
Even the best Jokes are serious sometimes
and an astonishing number of things that were
Jokes once become, as they grow old. the most
common occurrences Of everyday life. Now,
here's a case in point.
Years ago a professional humorist met an idea,
which he apprehended. and In due time he wove
it into shape to this effect:
Young wife-oh. Edward, | knew you were so fond
OF Welsh rabbits
Young Husband (apprehensively)-Yes. my dearr
Young Wife-Weii, just as soon as you had gone this
morning | made two, and they've been on the ice all
day. and Jane shall bring them in Immediately.
This was called "Jugged Hare" or Rabbit
Pie" or out of the Warren" or "A Pleasure
in Store for Edward" or something else equally
appropriate, and when the professional humor-
list finished the joke he fondly imagined the
price thereof" in his pocket. Little did he
think that the joke would ever come true.
But it has come: it Is arrived. as the French
say. Attended by these dainty lines:
Heat IL,
Then eat IL;
