II is said that Grant delighted In seeing

Oehiltree. This relation made many
OF the men Of Galveston a bit Jealous.
This Jealous faction once planned an
incident whereby II would get even with
Ochiltree. Grant was to stop at Gal
weston after his trip TO South America,
and the committee did not put ochil-
trees name on the list of distinguished
men TO meet him. 0chiltree bided his

him as the New York papers now ad-

usually printed that the interviewer
found the valiant colonel engaged In
a sumptuous repast," or about to sit
down to an elaborate dinner" or iris

luxnries." The descriptions are prob
ably accurate, as no man in the country

Convenient ButtonhoIe Gutter.

Women who have been fastening
their clothes with pins because they
could not cut buttonholes have no
longer an excuse for their habit, which
savors of untiiiness, besides being de-
cidedly inconyenient. There have been
shown on the counters Of some of the
department stores this week samples
OF little continuance which obviates
all difficulties and most Of the labor
OF the buttonhole cutting. II has
been called an ideal" buttonhole cut
ter, and judging by the ease with
which work is performed with this
wonderful little instrument it is not
misnomer. The woman whose du-
ties necessitate the making of button
holes in all kinds of garments, from
the sheer dimity robes of the baby to
the heaviest clothes worn by the man
OF the house, can have at her disposal
an article that will cut quickly and ae-
crrately. And she does not have to
lift. haul, turn, measure, or fold as she
used to when scissors were the only
means.
For generations past the average
woman has been cutting buttonholes
by jabbing the point Of the scissors
Into the cloth. after which she trimmed
on the rawlings and bound the incis-
ions Of various shapes and sizes. Then
buttonhole scissors were adopted. but
even they are primitive in comparison
with the latest invention in that line.
The new cutter is simple and easily
understood. 1t consists Of a circle OF
steel from which project four blades OF
well-tempered and ground razor-steel.
These blades are of different sizes. and
with them can be made holes to fit
any sized buttons. The circle of blades
Is regulated by means of a spring.
which, when pulled outwards, allows
the wheel to reyolve until the desired
size is at the end of the cutter. where
1t is held firmly in place by dropping
the spring. Anybody who can draw a
line and press down with ordinary
force can use 1t. There can be no
bungjing. All that is necessary is to
spreSd the cloth or garment smoothly
over board or table, mark where the
buttonholes are to be. bear down with
the edge of the blade and cut them
in perfect line and Of exactly the same
size. Absolute uniformity is secured,
together with freedom from raveling
ano the tearing OF the cloth at the end
OF the hole. The new cutter aims to
save time and secure neatness and will

use such an instrument.
Japanese Alloys.

headed Ranger from Texas" had a few
remarks he would like TO make cover
ing few points In a measure the
august body had In It's pigeon holes.
The admission OF ochiltree meant a
good langh-a long series OF good
laughs-and It is part of legislative
tradition that the colonel's stories have
done for him what plain, unvarnished
and prosaic logic failed to do for 9TH
ers. ochiltree proves that mems traits
come out in little things and at an
early age. He was taken as a partner
into his fathers Office. He was barely
out OF his teens. The father went
away from town one day. and while he
was gone the boy had the sign changed.
San Antonio awakened the next morn
ing to laugh for years at the strange
name of the firm-"Thomas r. ochil-
tree and Father. Attorneys" The
grown man was no less original than
the boy had been. and his wit increased
as the years brought the stubby, fat
youngster into rotund. broad-girthed
statesman.
Judge William y. ochiltree, lawyer
of great repute in the south. was de-
termlncd that young Tom should be
brought up in the straight and narrow
path. He thought his son would be a
quiet man. OF gentle habits, and there
upon placed him under the care and
tutelage OF two Catholic priests. The
priests labored in Nacogdoches parish.
where the boy was born, and they tried
industriously TO keep their pupil in
lines of thought that might possibly
take him into the clergy. The lad
stood Il for time. and at the age OF 15
suddenly took the matter into his own
hands. He wanted to fight Indians.
The priests were powerless. and, with
n great deal OF shrewd planning, young
Tom made an enlistment as private
in the Texas Rangers, starting west for
the scalps Of the Apaches and
Comanches In 1854. A year knocked
ali the romance out Of his boyish am
bition, and as he was willing to come
