A Canon,a Mistake.

Any one who knows that charming man Canon Ainger, master of the temple, will comprehend to the full the humor of this story. Canon Ainger is great favorite with children, and upon one occasion was asked to assist at juvenile party. Arriv- ing at what he thought was his destina- tion, house in a row of others exactly alike, the canon made his way up to the drawing room. Don't announce me, |" said he to the domestic, and thereupon the reverend gentleman went down upon all fours, ruffled up his white hair and crawl ed into the room, uttering the growls of an angry polar bear. What was his horror and amazement to find when he got into the room two old ladies petrifed with as- tonishment. He had found his way into the next door house instead of into the one to which he was bidden.-London Tit Bits

American Clothing For 1nauguration.


 Washington set the example, which hos been followed ct frequent intervals by new presidents even to our day, of wearing st the first inauguration ceremonies clothing of American manufacture. He was dressed in a suit of dark cloth made at Hartford l have been able to find no mention of the nationality of the Flight drab suit"--,hich John Adams wore. -1eGsrson was lnau- quratcd in his everyday clothes, '' which may or may not have been exclusively American. But before the end of his sery- ice as president he appeared at his New Years reception dressed in on entire suit of 5houesnun. Madison carried the mGtter step farther, for as be passed down tho aisle of the house of representatives to bo inaugurated he was spoken of as 0 walk ing argument in favor of the encourage ment of native wool" His coat had Lcen made on the farm of Colonel Humphreys, and his waistcoat and small clothes on that of Chancellor Livingston, all from tho wool of merino sheep raised in the country. John Quincy Adams says in his diary that the house was very much crowded, and that its appearance was magnificent but that Mir. Madison read his address in tone so low that it could not be heard. Contemporary descriptions of Madison pic- ture him us small, modest and jovial man. Washington Irving spoke of him in 1919, at the time of his second election to the presidency, Us "a withcred little apple. john," and an English observer as "a lit tie man with small features, rather wiz ened, but occasionally lit up with @ good natured smile" He was habitually neat and gentcel in his appearance, says another writer, dressed like "well bred and tasty old school gentleman" American wool seems, therefore, to have made its first ap. pearance as a walking argument under favorable conditions.

that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper

system of coin redemption, and he points out q
way to speedy relief
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples

will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.

CHAPTER ".


There's nought i'll this cold world like sympathy
'Tis so becoming to the soul and face,
Sets to soft music the harmonious sigh,
And robes sweet friendship in Brussels lace
Don Juan.
The succeeding day passed as the
previous night had done, and with
the same disappointed success. The
news of the lost child flew rapidly,
creating a deep sensation through
out the neighborhood, and a great
many persons collected to join in
the search for little Rose, but their
efforts were unavailing.
Mr.. O'Ferguson, with all his
household, and Neil Riley were
among the first and most solicitous
to ferret out the mystery, and again
rescue little Rose from her kidnap-
pers, if she were really stolen; as
many began to protest was their
opinion, or recover the child if lost
in the woods. Evening at length
closed on the scene, dispensing
those who were in search of the lost
girl, to their respective homes, and
the fields and forests were once
more left to the domain of calm sol
itude and silence.
Save Mrs. Darly and her spouse,
for, in this instance, "the gray mare
was the better horse"-the family
at the mansion were left alone.
This lady, who subsequently be-
came so conspicuous under the
appellation of the alag of the
Wallo- wish,n tarried with Mrs.
Greenberry, to condole with her fol
the loss of her adopted daughter.
Davy Darby, the passive hus,
band, sat quietly in a remote cor,
ner of the room, with the solemnity
of an owl and the gravity of sage,
communing, doubtless, with his
own pleasant thoughts-ruminating
on things past, present, and to come,
while his more loquaciOus spouse
poured the oil of consolation on the
heart of the bereaved mother.
"L-o-r-d Mrs. Greenberry, you
have fine boy, if you never find
the GIRL" continued Mrs. Darby
who had been keeping the organs
of articulation in full play for some
time previous. The soothing, hypo-
critical tone in which this lady car
ried on her discourse was not the
least peculiar of her many peculiar
tiles. Her conversation was us
ually interlarded with rather strong
expressions, which, however, lost
I all of their obnoxious influence on

An obstreporous laugh harbin-
gered Niel's reply to this retort on
the ladies.

hater, Mr.. Culpepper; but you have
grown vindictive, like all other
bachelors who have been Tilted in
their younger days. You vented
your spleen upon Mrs. Greenberry's
nurse, in the guise of a peddler, l
suppose, to your hearts content.
Ha /! ha ha! Egad but that was
clever done trick. / never saw
you look so well in all my life, as
you did under that dish pack,
and red wig. Ha! ha! ha! The
girl swore yo1 were Dutchman,
you counterfeited the peddler so well
in every respect. She says you were
the most obliging gentleman she
ever met with, pouring out the con-
tents of. your pack so unhesitat-
ingly, to crafty her curiosity. The
only fault she can complain of is
that your accent was rather Dutchy.
Ha! ha +! hal"
And Mel closed this rallying
speech with loud burst of his
merriment, in which Culpepper
joined.
"The vixen told me twenty times
she had no money!" Culpepper
commenced, catching the excitative
and mirthful spirit of Mel; "but
still persisted in seeing something
else, and | kept her curiosity on
tiptoe, as long as possible, by show
ing her the goods piece by piece,
and limiting what finery was still to
come, till she had got through with
all the articles of clothing; and
while the review of silks, or rather
her ladyship's heyday trumpery,
was going on, [ contrived to feed her
with so many successful hints of the
rare assortment of jewelry-which,
you know, was nothing more than
some of the madam's trinkets, that
the old wench had rubbed up-that
she plunged headlong into my gold
mine, examining jewel after jewel,
link by link, grinding me down in
price, and still persisting she had
no money, till we arrived at length
in one profound research, at the
bottom of the old mans carpet bag
the first time, | ween, it had ever
been converted intoa peddler's pack
and as a summing up clause to the
story, as well as to our mercantile
transactions, l produced the string
of beads we had borrowed for the
occasion from the young niggers.
These took the huzzy's eye more
than all the other articles, or per-
haps they suited her purse best, for
she Immediately commenced banter
ing me for coupleof strings, which
brought about the favorable oppor-
tunity. for breaking up the show,
the thing | began to desire most
earnestly, for night was fast ap-
preaching; and verify believe the
ID would have sat there all night,
if there had been curiosities enough
to have kept her attention riveted."
At this point in the story, Cul-
nepDar and Mel started TO their
feet, as the door trembled with a
loud, ringing rap, that was repeated
several times in quick succession,
and the portal flying open, Mrs. .
Darby and her doughty spouse were
added to the company ofthe dreary
apartment.
