four years in Office he went duck
hunting 100 times and ''bagged'
over 1000 feathered fliers.
But other Presidents. says the
San Francisco Examiner, have
had their sports or fads. George
Washington conducted the larg-
est stock farm known in his
time at Mount Vernon. He
owned 5000 acres of land. and

stock. He bought all the finest
horses in that part of the coun-

Thomas jefferson. a rich man S

player. So fond was he of this
accomplishment that when
pressed with work he would res

he be tempted to play it. James
Madison went through Prince
ton in two years and came out
so delicate from the strain that
he was never able to join the
sports of other men. He took
refuge in gardening. and raised
the finest roses ever grown and

The pen of James Monroe was
so mighty that it vanquished all

Paying the Cook.

In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than q
club dinner. James Payn relates that
Lord Poor, a well named Irish peer, ex-
oused himself from dining with the
Duke Of Ormond upon the ground that
he could not afford it. IF you will
give me the guinea have to pay your
cook (fancyD, will come as often as
you choose TO ask me, which was ac-
cordingly done The duke, however, had
not the pluck to stop the practice Lord
Taafe, general officer in the Austrian
service, did what he could. He always
attended his guests to the door. When
they put their hands into their pockets,
he said mo 1T you do give it, give it
to me. for it was who paid for your
dinner. To Sir Timothy Waldo must
be given the credit of putting an end to
the monstrous practice. After dinner
with the Duke of Newcastle he put q
crown into the cooks hand. 1t was re-
jected. Il do not take silver, sir. !"
Very good. and l do not give gold. :"
This courageous rejoinder caught on. !"

A FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER.
Mrs. Cameron. Who Was Friend Of
Hersehel and Tennyson.

| Mrs. Cameron, Who Was . Friend of
Herschel and Tennyson.
In The Century V. O. Scott O'Con-
nor has an article ON Mrs. Cameron.
Her Friends and Her Photographs I"
Mr.. o'Connor says:
| A feature of her personality which lay
at the root of her great success as a
photographer was her love of all that
was beautiful. "She was always took by
a face, as an old woman in Freshwater
who remembers her put it TO me.
Charles Turner said the same thing in
poets language when he told her, in the
sonnet he addressed TO her on leaving
the isle Of Wight after q visit, that she
Flowed all loveliness. " In obedience to
this impulse she invariably stopped and
spoke to any one. however unknown,
whether In a great London thoroughfare
or a village lane. whose beauty attracted
her. II am Mrs Cameron, she would
say. Perhaps you have heard Of me.
You would oblige me very much if you
would let me photograph you. Will you
let me do so?" And by such bold and
unconventional means she prevailed on
many, absolute strangers though they
were, to sit to her.
One OF her models captured in this
way was q young lady come as q sum-
mer visitor TO Freshwater. Mrs. Gamer
ON, eDgrossed at that time in some re-
markably fine studies illustrative of the
"Idylls of the King, was at loss for
model for Queen Guinevere. But the
advent of the fair stranger settled all
her doubts. Here was a beauty suited TO
her purpose. and within the hour she
had carried her off to lunch and SUISSE
quent photography.
The lady proved a most kind and in
defatigable model. The village postman
had already been secured for King Ar
thur, and Mrs. Cameron's picture of
him in this character is one of the best
things in the collection. A friend, going
one day TO Dimbola, found the young
lady looking rather fatigued
"Oh, she said, with an expressive
gesture, Il am so tired. +"
Supposing her fatigue was the result
of long walk on midsummer day,
my friend made some suitable reference
TO the matter, but the young lady an
swered with smile:
'Oh, no. have not been for walk

last two hours. clutching the postman's

Mrs. Cameron, ever kind and I'M
selfish, possessed the faculty of bringing
out such qualities in others. In 1879
she died, few months after her last re-
turn to Ceylon.
LAS the day died, her sons wrote to
Lord Tennyson, las the day died on

Lincoln's "Selfishness."

Mr. Lincoln once remarked to fellow
passenger on the old time mud wagon
coach ON the corduroy road which ante
dated railroads that all men were
prompted by selfishness in doing good
or evil. His fellow passenger was an
tagonizing his position, when they were
passing over corduroy bridge that
spanned slough. AS they crossed this
bridge and the mud wagon was shaking
like Sucker with chills, they espied
an old razorbacked SOW on the bank Of
the slough, making terrible noise be-
cause her pigs had got into the slough
and were unable to get out and in dan
ger of drowning. AS the old coach be-
gan to climb the hillside Mr.. Lincoln
called out Driver, can't you stop Just

other Teller don't object" The "other
feller"-who was no less a parsonage
than at that time Colonel +. d. Baker,
the gallant general who gave his life in
defense Of Old Glory at Balls Bluff-did
not "object. when Mr.. Lincoln jumped
out, ran back to the slough and began
to lift the little pigs out Of the mud and
water and place them on the bank.
When he returned, Colonel Baker re-
marked. Now, Abe. where does selfish
