Parson Richey, of Greensboro KY. Is

He Met the President.

Secretary Sherman says he never
will forget his first meeting with a
President 1t was shortly after Lin
coins Inauguration, and he attended a
public reception, fell into line, and
waited an hour or two for chance to
shake hands with the Great Enamel
pator
During this time says Mr.. Sher-
man, 81 was wondering what l should
say and what Lincoln would do when
when we met At last it came my turn
to be presented Lincoln looked at me
a moment, extended his hand, and
said: You're pretty tall fellow,
aren't you? Stand up here with me,
back to back, and let's see which is
the taller
I'm another moment l was standing
back to back with the greatest man OF
his age. Naturally l was quite abash-
ed by this unexpected evidence of de-
mocracy.
You're from the West, aren't you?
inquired Lincoln.
MY home is in Ohio 1 replied.

" supported by Baron Rothschild in
one of the worst slums OF London.
There are in it $500 children coming
from the families Of the poorest foreign
Jews. and there are hundred teach
ers. It is owing 10 the barOn's genera
sity that free breakfasts are given
every morning to all children who wish
to take them Again, he presents
every boy with a suit Of clothes and a
pair of boots in the month OF April,
near the Jewish passover. An idea Of
the poverty of the children may be had
from the fact that not more than 2
per cent decline TO avail themselves
Of this charity A second pair of boots
is offered in the month of October to
every child whose boots are not likely
to last during the approaching winter.
1t is scarcely necessary to state that
few do not get them. A very popular
feature in the school is the savings
bank department instituted by the
president In order to encourage ha-
bits of thrift, he allows an interest of
10 per cent. per annum on all savings.
The teachers are also permitted to
avail themselves of the benefits of this
bank.

| POWERS WILL INTERVENE.
Differences Between Greeks and
Turks VIII Be Settled.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July &c. = AT
the sitting of the Peace Conference to-
day the Ambassadors presented the
peace preliminaries drafted by the
powers, which provide for European
arbitration of any difference that may
arise between the Greek and Turkish
plenipotentiaries in arranging a def
mite treaty. It is stated that the pow
ers will insist upon the acceptance by
the Porte of this provision, and its
reception, therefore, by the Sultan will
be highly significant.
The desire of Germany to institute a
European control of Greek finances
still hampers the settlement Of the in
demnity question.
1t is understood that the Volo-Laris-
sa Railway will be transferred to the
Greek administration, with the stipu-
lation that the same facilities shall be
granted to Turkey for the transporta-
ton of troops as are granted to Greeks
This, therefore, does not indicate an
intention on the part of Turkey to
evacuate Thessaly, but is merely
measure of economy

Not Easy 10 Deceive Them About the
Important Things of Life.

A woman in search of bargains" is a
favorite subject for joking among the
humorous" writer's for the press. They
like to tell funny stories about her expen-
diture Of numerous car fares and prodig-
ious energy, all in pursuit of some trivial
'markdown." But these witty gentle
men known in their heart Of hearts that
when woman sets out to save money she
can do it in fashion which makes the
boosted acuteness of the male sex look
silly by comparison.
When man undertakes to buy his own
furnishings and apparel without the aid
of womanly suggestion and advice he be-
gins to realize that women are less easily
taken in than he imagined. His philoso-
ply may be very keen and scientific but
all the same he pays a dollar and half
for a poorer shirt than his wife or sister
will buy him for ninety-seven cents-when
she wants to.
WOMEN KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN
Women usually know just which side of
their bread is buttered. A woman dearly
loves a bargain; she would snap up bar
gain if it were offered to her by pirate
