Gov. Drake Of Iowa IN a recent
speech. told a new story of a meeting be-
tween Lincoln and A. IL. Pickering of
Chicago Mr.. Pickering. who is a very
tall man, was a resident of Iowa at the
time of Lincolnis election, and was en-
gagged in shipping cattle. He and Mr..
Drake came to Chicago on business, and,
nearing tldI llHAolu WAS All tic CITY, tUSy
sent up their cards, and were shown to
the Presdent-elect's room. when we
got to Lincon's room" said Gov. Drake,
in his speech, che opened the door, and on
seeing Pickering asked, How tall are

Why cried Lincoln that's my hight.
Let's measure And then the President
Of the United States and the cattle-ship-
per stood back to back, while the first

a little woman, after standing on tiptoe
and reaching to the tops of their heads,
decided that it was tie.
Some time ago the Japanese emperor
conferred upon the late Prof. Luther
Whitney Mason, of Boston, the Order of
the Sacred Treasure. Il feel very sorry"
says the japanese minister, whom the en-
peror requested to give the decoration TO
Mr.. Mason, "that owing to Mr.. Mason's
death II was impossible for me to carry
out his majestys command and that l
was compelled to return the decoration to
Japan. The Imperial government could
not, however ignore his Invaluable SER
vices, and the minister of education re-
quested me through the minister of for
eign affairs to present a pair of Japanese
cloisonne vases to Mrs. Mason in testi-
mony of the high estimation which we
have always had toward the deceased
professor. But Mrs. Mason having also
passed away, / have caused the present
to be sent TO their daughters" Prof
Mason organized the imperial music
school of Toxic. and his music has been
sung in the forty thousand schools of

The Paper From Home.

An uncut magazine was under the arm
of the pale young man, who sat in the
elevated train to-day, and two morning
papers were lying across his knee. saws
the New York Telegram. He had in his
hand crumpled little newspaper, one o.
the kind which is left in soak over night
and printed on an old-time Washington
press. 1t was a little country paper, and
the name Vermont could be seen at the
top Of the page as he turned it over.
There were big advertisements upon it,
which proclaimed that "choice line of
dry goods had been added to our stock
Come early give US a call, and no trouble
to show goods" There were the stereo-
typed cards of the country physicians
who announced that they were both med
tcal and surgical" There was a line, in
big black type, which said Religious No
tees As the young man turned that pa
per around. there came into view a dou-
ble-leaded article with two reversed black
rules at top and bottom, and a little gar
nishing of fine type in the middle, which
is always a surface indication of poetry
That was an obituary, evidently. What
need had this pale young man of the met
ropolitan prints when the little country
paper had come to gladden. his soul and to
bring back the memories of the days in
old Vermont. when the skies were cloud
less and there was SO much sunshine that
he never saw the shadow?
The face of the young man became
wreathed in smiles, as he read. He bent
over the page as though the ink-daubed
paper were some bit of rare damaslx. A
triumphant look shone in his eyes as he
glanced up for a moment. He straighten-
ed up and threw back his shoulders The
guard called the name of his station just
then, and he hastily assembled the mag
azine, the metropolitan prints and his
cane and scrambled for the gates. He
dropped the little country paper as he ran,
and | picked it up. There was no chance
to restore it to him then. On the page
where the locals appear was the follow
ing paragraph, surrounded by a blue pen
Gil marks
While in New York recently we were
entertained by our talented young friend
Charles -. He took us to the Waldorf
where a repast was spread which fairly
caused the table to groan, and to which
we did ample justice. Charles Is winning
his way to fame and wealth in the metro
polls. He had a case in court the other
day, and his picture was in several of the
daily papers as the youthful lawyer who
was assigned to defend the prisoner"
This town may well be proud of Charles
He is a bright young man, and he will
make his mark some day. Here's luck to
you, Charles
Charles. come and get your paper.

A Victim of the First.

I've cooled off enough now" said the
head of wealthy firm to a Detroit Free
Press man. ito tell you about 1st-of-
April joke that 1 played on my wife.
after going down to the Office put my
watch in one of the little drawers of my
desk, called the jantor and told him to
go up to the house and ask my wife if
hadn't left the ticker on the bureau in my
room. In half an hour he was back to
say that she would pay no attention to
him unless he had a note from me. / was
pleased with this. for it showed that she
was not TO be caught by any swindler
SO | wrote her note, saying that l did
not have my watch on me, and urging her
to send it if she could find it.
I'VE wanted the janitor a dozen times,
and there was some pretty strong Ian
guage used because of his absence but it
was nearly o'clock before ne returned.
Carefully done up in cotton and in a neat
box he had a watch chain and charm
that | could have sworn We're mine He
smiled mysteriously when | scolded him
for staying so long, but did not seem at
all troubled. He doubtless had my wife s
backing.
In puzzled frame of mind I looked
into the desk There was my
iewery. 1 took it out, and the contents
of my two hands were apparently identi-
cal. l broke out in a cold sweat and hur-
ried to the jewelers.. Yes. he had sold
my wife a watch, chain and charm, such
as l had bought two years before. Mine
had been stolen, she said. and she was
anxious to replace them without my know
ledge. The jeweler would not take them
back. for sales OF that kind are few and
far between in these times. What could l
do? My wife looks innocent and has asked
no questions. Neither have /. But have

He CouIdn,t Hide 1t -.

After many years of bachelor life, the
major married. and he tells of the we'd
ding trip himself, says the Detroit Free
Press.
"Of course, I fattered myself that 1
knew the ropes. 1 had officiated at we'd
dngs by the score. l had times without
number felt a sort of contemptuous pity
for the insanely happy young husband
with bridegroom written all over his

Il had no trouble in bribng the baggage

tised when we reached the city. This win

Her brother was with us. At the hotel 1

my umbrella to take a walk alone 1 rat

chin in the corner yelled Rats At din

grinned a polite grin. When, in nv ratified
condition, l gave him $40 gold piece for
half a dollar, l threw off all disguise. At

married, that we wanted every attention
and that expense cut no figure"

Her Unhappy Inhrmity.

He was an angular man with gray ear
whiskers. He gave up his seat in the
crowded car with an alacrity that spoke
well for the cheerfuness Of his DISPOSE
ton. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The lady who took the proffered seat was
stout and naughty She slipped into the
vacant place without a word
The angular man looked at her thought
fully Then he stopped over and said:
IL had an uncle, ma am, that had Just
that same afilction."
sir said the stout lady, with an in
suited toss Of the head.
Yes" continued the angular man. ''he
couldn't pronounce any word beginning
with m TO save his blessed neck. That's
right. He'd stutter and stammer an the
best he could do would be to give the
sound of - IL was "A dreadful ahiiction
His oldest sons name was Thcophius.

The stout lady was dark red from vex-
alton.
"You are insulting" she snorted.

man with great cheerfulness. But |

my seat and wasn't able to say thank

And the stout lady nouncod down the
street to take the next car.

A Washington dispatch says that Minis
ter Buck and other representatives, of the
United States government abroad are to
be required Tor maybe requested is the
world to collect and send to the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington such
rare and valuable seeds as they may he
able to procure abroad. 1t may be that
Secretary Wilson holds the opinion that
the majority of the persons sent from this
country on foreign missions would make
much better seed gatherers than diplo-
mats. and hence is trying to arrange it
so that they shall have an opportunity Of
displaying their talents.
Probably the secretary would like to
have the whole diplomatic corps turned
over to him. He could no doubt keep
the members of it busy. He has more
schemes to the square inch of brain area,
it seems. than any other man who has
ever occupied the Office, not excepting his
predecessor; and the diplomats would be
the very people to help him carry them
out. There. for instance is his wonder
ful scheme of making the British people
buy American butter. He could instruct
Ambassador Hay TO attend no banquet
at which American butter was not served,
and in making his after-dinner addresses
to gesticulate with table-knife contain
ing upon its point a chunk of butter, to
which he might point in his peroration
and inform his hearers that 1t came from
Cy Wayhack's farm, up York state; best
grade, only % cents a pound; or that It
was grown at Umpthugawog, Wis, and
that orders sent to Buttermiik Bros. at
that postohce, would receive prompt at
tentiou.
Had the diplomatic corps been at the
disposal Of the Secretary Of Agriculture
when, moved 10y pure philanthropy. he
concluded it would be a good idea TO send
an investigating committee to Alaska to
find out what would grow there. so that
the committee might inform the Alaskans
Of the possibilities of their soil. he would
have had no trouble in selecting men EN-.
inently suited to the work. There are
lots of things the diplomats could do in
the way of assisting the secretary to
keep his name in the newspapers.
