We admire Lord Charles Beresford
for his blunt talk at the New Nagabonds
club in London the other day. He was
the guest Of the club and spoke as fol-
lows: Money" no declared. is now
everything among us. Any vulgarian,
of whatever nationality. whether he has
gained money honorably or disgrace
fully, could buy his way among those
who arc described as the best and proud

golden calf" Continuing. Lord Bcrcs-
ford said: Our old empire will soo.
be going down grade when a man in the
so-called best society commits dis
honorable act and society bands to-

WILLIE AND TAD LINCOLN.
The Two Sons of the Great President

Julia Taft Bayne contributes an ar
ticle to st. Nicholas on willie and Tad
Lincoln who were playmates of her
brother during the time that they lived
In the White House. Mrs. Rayne says: !:
Willie Lincoln was the most loyable
boy l ever know-sensible, sweet-tem-
pered, and gentle e-mannered. He was
rather fair, with blue gray eyes, while
Tad had quick, dark eyes, and fiery
temper. Though very affectlonate
when he chose, Tad was unyielding In
his dislikes. His peculiar defect Of
speech made it difficult for strangers
to understand him, but those who saw
him every day had no difficulty.
The two Lincoln boys We're then
little over 10 and s years of age, my
two brothers being year or two older.
The elder, Horatio, or "Budd," as he
was always called, was fair, like Willie
Lincoln, while Hally was dark. This
resemblance of the two pairs of boys
was often remarked upon
Willie and Tad were two healthy,
rollicking Western boys who had never
been accustomed to restraint The no.
tice which their fathers exalted station
brought upon them was at times dis
tasteful. Willie once said: WASN'T
there ever a President who had chill
dren before? l wish they wouldn't
stare at us SOP
The first time they went to church
with us, Willie said: "Will he pray
for us, do you think? Preachers al
ways pray so long for Pa" DIR. Smith
did pray for them, as he recognized
them In our pew. Willie's cheeks grew
very red, but Tad was sitting ON the
floor OF the pew, and needed not He
was so uneasy that he always sat on
the floor good part of the service,
drawing pictures, and amusing him
self with whatever he could find in his
pockets.
On another Sunday, when he was un-
usually restless, young officer friend
of ours gave him a knife, which he
thought Tad would not open, but he
did, and cut his finger, and I had to do
1t up In my best embroidered handker-
chief.
On this occasion l was goaded to say !:
I'll never take you to church again.

After that was done 1t was necessary
to wait until the guns were in a suit

wound around the bits on opposite
ends of the deck. This operation was
repeated until a sufficient number Of
turns had been made to anchor the
guns securely.
