TEAPOTs ARE HER PETS.
4 Chicago Woman Who Has n Col
lection Numbering Two Hundred.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
There is a woman in Chicago who is the
proud possessor of 200 teapots-NIrs. Helen
Crittenden Adams of Buena Park Four
years ago Mrs. Adams was inspired to fol-
low this novel fad by reading of a Russian
woman who had accumulated 5000 teapots
in Japan. This remarkable collection, by
the way, was presented to the museum of
ST. Petersburg.
'I keep a teapot book" said Mrs. Adams,
(Which is much after the fashion of the
baby book In it l register the numbers
of each piece, the name of givcr, the kind
of ware, etc. j can never be fooled about
my teapots either. Not long ago, for in
stance, several of my friends came over on
my birthday to present me with a number
of teapots, and my brother who had for
gotten the event and wished TO be in it.
himself, slipped from the room and appro-
priated one of my teapots. When it came
his turn he made neat little speech of
presentation. Thank you, l said, when
he had finished, but l guess l know my
own teapots.
Among curious pieces in the collection is
a double japanese teapot with two spoutS,
which is always used at wedding festiv-
ties in that country by athe bride and
groom Then there is the pale blue dainti-
ly figured combination teapot of two parts
and two handles. The upper part has a
sievelike arrangement for the leaves, and
the lower contains the cheering concoc-
ton
The "mikado's chrysanthemum" is the
name of a circular teapot with sixteen
petals forming the futed edge. 1t is in
imitation of the crest of the Japanese
ruler
The puzzle" teapot is another queer
one 1t has an Irregular contour, and dia-
mond-shaped ornamentation on the side.
This piece has an opening on the under
side into which the tea is poured There
is no stopper of any kind, but a siphon-
like arrangement conducts the LIQUID into
the sides of the teapot from which it is
poured out in regulation fashion through
the spout.

The President was frankly told that the
preacher had opposed reconstruction and
had left the country because he was too
violent confederate to be willing to live
under the administration of a union COM
mander who had received the surrender
of Lee at Appomattox, thus completing
the conquest of the south. He was also
told the facts about the mans charac-
ter, birth and family connections, and a
strong plea was made for his wife and
daughters, who had been forced to share
his hard fate
Tears came into Grants eyes" said
the judge in giving an account of the in
terview, land he brought his fist down
on his desk and exclaimed: ITS a shame.
McGraw, and am determined TO get those
people out of their trouble"
Judge McGraw went on to say that the
President went to work and corresponded
with the proper authorities in Brazil. and
out of his own private funds furnished the
money necessary to secure the release of
the prisoners and pay their way back to
their old home in the south, which they
reached at last, broken in health but
happy to find themselves under the old
flag which they had once hated ana
scorned.
That's the kind OF man Grant was "

sympathized with him as he would with a
brother, and never rested until he had
rescued him from his wretched bondage
