The Two Sons of the Great President and
Their Natures.
Julia Taft Bayne contributes an article
to ST. Nicholas on "Willie and Tad Lin
coin, ;" who were playmates of her brother
during the time that they lived in the
White House. Mrs. Bayne says: Willie
Lincoln was the most lovable boy 1 ever
knew-sensiblc, sweet tempered and gen
tie hammered. He was rather fair, with
blue gray eyes, while Tad had quick, dark
eyes and "a fiery temper. Though very af-
fectionate when he chose, Tad was un-
yielding in his dfslikes. His peculiar de-
feet of speech made it difficult for stran-
gers to understand him. but those who
saw him every day had no difficulty.
The two Lincoln boys were then little
over 10 and years of age, my two broth
ers being year or two older. The elder,
Horatio, or Budd, as he was always cali
I'd, 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 roll
licking western boys who had never been
accustomed to restraint. The notice which
their fathers exalted station brought upon
them was at times dlStaSteful. Wine once
said: Wasn't there ever president who
had children before? l wish they wouldn't
stare at us so.
The first time they went to church with
us Willie said "Will he pray for us, do
you think? Preachers always pray so long
! for pa" DIR. Smith did pray for them, as
he recognized them in our pew. Willie's
checks 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 "a good part of the service, drawing
| pictures and amusing himself with what
ever he could find in his pockets.
On another Sunday, when he was un-
usually restless, a young officer friend of
ours gave him knife, which he thought
! Tad would not open, but he did and cut
his finger, and l had to do it up in my
best embroidered handkerchief
On this occasion l was goaded to say;
"I'll never take you to church again,

to be called Thomas. 81 just suffer ago.

NO CHANGE OF SITUATION.

Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 11.-There has been no new move in the senatorial contest since the bolt of the Pritchard populists last Friday night, except Senator But lers attempt to get full meeting Of all the populists, bolters included, Saturday afternoon, at which meeting the bolters failed to materialize and not enough of the others assembled to make quorum, and in consequence no action was taken. The populists that walked out of the caucus firmly stand by Pritchard-nine- teen of them. The Tribune will say to- morrow, through it's Washington core. spondent. that there is move on the part of the democrats to import influential populists to win back the bolters. Money is said to be behind the scheme. but from the character of the men who bolted there is no hope for democratic-populists.
