Grsyd's Convincing Proof.
Constitution.

In the hard days when Henry Grady
was struggling against fate TO make his
paper O success, the merchants had not
yet learned the value Of advertising. and
Henry pleaded In vain for a more liberal
patronage. A leading merchant who
claimed TO be his friend stubbornly de-
cllned TO give him a big "ad. and said
II would be money thrown away, for no
body read them.
Don't cad them!" exclaimed Henry;
don't e them Wen 1 will show
you"
Next mornings paper contained a
editorial on eats, and told how cat
fur had recently come into great de-
mand In fashionable circles In New
York, and how the long coarse hairs
were eliminated and the real fur was
made into tippets and muffs. and every
fashionable lady wore a feline. etc. Not
far OFF in another column was a dis-
played advertisement that said:
Wanted 900 cats. for which fifty
cents ZACH will be paid
The merchants name was signed to IL.
by noon the cats began Ca roll In.
Small boys. white and black. brought
them in baskets and bags. For a while
the merchant enjoyed the Joke. but soon
got tired and went away to dinner.
BY the time he returned the boys from

joying the fun. ~Neighboring merchants
and their clerks gat1ered around and
laughed and shouted and cried at every
new arrival OF cats. As fast AS the mcr.
chant drove of one crowd another filled
their places. He armed himself with q
big stick. but at last he closed his doors
In sheer despair. and night relieved hin
from the pressure.
But the next morning the catastrophe
was worse. The catalogue was not end
ed, for the country people had heard the
news and brought cats in on their wag'
n and under their buggy seats. and
tied up I'm cotton baskets like chickens
Henry tool his stand near by and
leaned against a telegraph pole for sup.

AIRS. cLEvELAND's POPULARITY

Was and Handsomcr.

New York Times.
Mrs. C~leveland's frequent social APP
pearences lately have shown s. y clear
ly that the strong fascination mich her
presence ways eXerted among women
has not iessened one jot. She is the
most interesting woman in this country
today IN not only every possible way,
but particularly in the fact that people
never tire of looking at her. No one was

able TO watch her quite as tong as ne
would have liked. \ great many peo-
Pie now know her intimately and are
able 10 see her frequently; but for the
great majority, 10 whom this intimacy
IS denied, the only opportunities come
with the important functions at the
white house.
At Mrs. Cleveland tea last Saturday.
perhaps l,o0O women had the pleasure OF
shaking hands with her. and. at the
same time. enjoying a little chat. Il
would have been hard to find any wom-
an IN all this number who. after this en-
1oyment. did not lind some point from
which she could stand and feast her
eyes again on her hostess. Every detail
OF her appearance, every she

So IL went. the same admiring com
ments and the same pleasure taken in
even looking at her. as everybody re-
members so yiyidly the first years Of her
Residence in the white house.
In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland Is the
handsomest woman today in Washing
ton. She has a beautiful neck and well
rounded shoulders, and, with the
sparkle OF her jewels. makes a picture
OF a white house mistress that Is simply
regal.
Ruth and Esther and Baby Marian are
miniatures of their mother. The two
elder girls love TO get a glimpse at the

Mrs. Cleveland is seen on the street
occasionally walking in the mornings on
driving around among the shops. Sne

This has done AVA with the little shop

Civ her SO much pleasure during her
first residence here. When Lent comes
she will be able 70 devote pretty much
all Of her time 70 the little people. and
that il precisely what she likes.
All last month Mrs. Cleveland has
been receiving Monday afternoons at :
