An Illustration of How the Comedian

From the New York Journal
A story 1 have just heard anent Nat

reckless generosity and constant desire to
burn money upon all possible occasions

$50 In doing SO he was morally certain
that the Indebtedness was not his. Mine

contrary. The dispute waxed hot and

Without another word. Nat Goodwin
took his check book out of his pocket,
filled out check for $50, tore 1t out, ap-
piled lighted match to it, and held it
until 1t was reduced to ashes.
The German, who had watched the pro-
cess with buiging eyes, banged rubber
stamp on the disputed bill, scrawled his
signature across it and said with sigh:
''Chumping dividends! You cand't get

FIRST WHITE HOUSE BATH TUB.
Van Buren Was Criticised for Intro


E1-Presideut Hsrrison in Ladies' Home Journal.
Properly speaking there are five bed
rooms in the Executive Mansion, though by
the use of two dressing rooms and of the
end of short hall that formerly opened to
a large north window, but has now been
closed up to make a small bed room. the
number may be increased to eight. There
are no suitable servants quarters. Those
provided are in the basement, and only
those opening to the south are habitable
The north rooms open upon a damp brick
area and are unhealthy. One of the base
fitted up as billiard room, but very plain

1t is said that provision for library for
the White House was first made during Mr..
Fillmore's term. Neat cases are arranged
about the room, and most of them are filled
with books-old editions of historical and
classical works There is 10 catalogue and
the library has not been kept up.
President Adams introduced billiards into
the White House, purchasing the first ta-
bles, balls and cues at cost of $61, paying
Van Buren was charged by political ad-
versary and scathing critic as being the
first of our Presidents to discover that the
pleasures of the warm or tepid bath are the
Proper Accomplishments of a palace life.
For 1t appears that our former Presidents
were content with the application, when
necessary, of the simple shower bath. Mr..
Van Buren's critic then refers with high
approval to the salutary side of Mr.. Adams
heroic habit of bathing in the Potomac be-
tween daybreak and sunrise.

From Answers.
Grandfathers and grandmothers are very
proud when they can boast Of having a
paltry score or two of descendants, but no
one seems to be aware of the grounds he
has for boasting Of the number Of his an
cestors.
Has 1t ever occurred to you to count back
in direct line? If not. try 1t now. and
you will be astonished. At the first remove
you have two-father and mother. At the
next step you have four-two grandfathers
and two grandmothers.
Each of these had a father and q mother
SO you have four great-grandfathers and
four Observation-Disclosures. Each of these
again has had two parents. so that at the
fourth generation back you have sixteen
ancestors. at the fifth you have thirty-two,
at the sixth you have sixty-four and at
the seventh you have 12S.
As you go little further they rise to the
thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds
of thousands. SO that, If all your direct an
cestors for twenty generations be added
together, they amount to over LOCO, 600,
and If you go back another twenty degrees
they total 1000. 900. .000-or more people than
there are in the world at the present mo-
ment. IL you leave out Asia.
