True TO Instructions.

My friend the newspaper man told
me funny little story which happened
during the last election in a certain
newspaper Office in this city.
They were pressed for men aud had to
take Oh some of the old printers that
went out of office with the arrival of the
typesetting machines. One Of the edi-
torial writers wrote what he considered
q fine effort of rhetoric on Mckinley.
Every page was sorely crowded, and the
fiat had gone forth that nothing should
be loaded, not even editorials. In the
midst of the editorial effusion occurred
the following sentence: Mckinley s
name led all the rest
This piece of copy was turned over to
one of the old discharged men. To
everybody's astonishment half of the
editorial in point was loaded, making a
very offending column to the eye.
The old printer was sent for. He de-
clared he had followed copy exactly.
Asked to bring the proof, he hurried up
stairs and from bundle of written
sheets extracted what he wanted
In the meantime the editorial writer
had discovered that "led all the rest"
had been omitted entirely, and he was
madden than ever.
Where is the rest of that sentence?"
he growled when the ancient fossil ap-
peared with the copy. you've chopped
this off at 'McKinley's name. -
"There is the copy" said the aged
file. Right after Mckinley S name you
wrote led all the rest, and l loaded it,

The editorial writer had nothing moro
to say after that. st. Louis Republic.

moved TO kiss away that tear, but his
heart hardened. Why could she not be
like the women he knew? Well, he
would not be troubled any longer with
her simple ways-he could do as he
pleased now with the purses. A bitter
madness of grief took possession of him,
and he arranged them on the bed.
One was empty, the present purse,
and he understood--the dress purse, Of
course, little silver only-the rest had
gone that he might have something
beautiful. He knew that it must be
done sooner or later, and today was
best, for his heart could be no sorer.

slammed by policeman and the carriage
started off to the Ebbitt House. Com
paratively few people saw the President
alight. but while he was paying his duty
call the news spread around the hotel
that he was there.

Cleveland in the reception-room of his
apartments. With him was his secretary,
Mr.. John Addison Porter, who extended
greetings to Secretary Thurber.
The well-known figure and livery of
Breckett, the White House coachman
had given the cue to others that Mr.. CIeve-
land was at the Ebbitt, and when the
President stepped from the elevator he
found a crowd of couple of hundred
people Assem- bled around the enhance of
the hotel. As he walked through the lane
of humanity a round of hand-clappine
greeted him, and Mr.. Cleveland responded
by taking off his hat Then he and Mr..
Thurber were whirled off to the White
House. where they ran the gauntlet of a
larger crowd.
During the short absence of the Presi-
dent admission to the mansion had been
suspended, and as consequence quite a
fair assem- blage was awaiting his return

President than to get glimpse of the

him eagerly as he walked across the por-

glass doors.
Then the entrance was thrown open
again and the President disappeared from
public view.

Major McKinley's most important call
ers, from a political point of view, this
morning were Messrs. Platt, Bliss and
Hanna. Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Bliss met at
breakfast ana had long talk about the
New York situation. Mr.. Bliss, who had
steadily and stouily declined up to that
time TO reconsider his determination not
TO become a member of the Cabinet.

Hanna TO say to Major Mckinley that
Mr.. Bliss would accept the position OF
Secretary of the Interior if it were offered
10 him.
Mr.. Hanna went over to the Ebbitt

at IL o'clock the Presiden;-e ;-elect dove
UP TO the White House in the rain
to- make the customary formal call. Quite
a crowd had collected near the portico in
anticipation of MS arrival. and hats were
removed with a slight cheer when he
alighted. Mr.. Mckinley acknowledged
the ovation by smilingly lifting his hat
and nodding to the assem- blage and then
quickly walked into the main corridor,
whence he was at once ushered through
the great stained-glass screen to the blue
room, where President Cleveland and Sec.
retary Thurber stood expectantly.
The hand-grasp of the retiring chief ex-
scutive was noticeably cordial in greeting
his successor. Within two minutes after
his entry the President t-elect and those
accom- panying him drove away.

o,d-Time customs of the Lapps.

The wedding of an Old-time Lapland
couple was a gorgeous affair, accord
ing to the standards of the people then
and there. Usually many more guests
were hidden to the feast than could
possibly be accommodated in the hut
of the brides parents, where it was al
ways held, and so it was the custom
for the boys and girls to climb onto
the roof. From there says an an
Gent historian, they let down strings,
to which the more fortunate ones in
the hut attach pieces of meat and other
dainties from the steaming kettle
When the wedding is over the histO-
rian continues, 1.-The husband may not
take along with him his wife with her
goods and fortune, but must remain
for a whole year in service with her
father. When that time is past, if he

Invent A Colorado Cheese.

When Colorado manufactures
cheese she manufactures the most
palatable and most universal OF
all foods; she also manufactures
that which costs her comparative
ly little and Is salable for compar-
itlvelv much. That is to say, it is
not difficult nor is it expensive to
grow and iced good mich cows III
this state-in almost anv part OF
this state, while between Iowa
and California no state has any
special capacity for exceeding Col
orado either IN amount of milk
that can be turned INTO whey and
cheese or in facilities for reaching
a big market. AS matter OF
fact, there are only four brands of
cheese in the world that constitute
Il regular adjunct to the table OF
all classes of consumers. These
are the Stilton cheese Of England,
the Edam cheese of Holland, the
Scl,weltzerkase of Switzerland
and the Herlkimer of New York.
The Stilton cheese is SAID to de-
rive its distinguishing qualities
from the pasturage Of the stock;
the Edam gets its qualities from
the manner of manufacture; the
Swiss from the herbs used in the
composition, and the Herkimer
from both the pasturage and the
herbs. Four brands of cheese in
an entire world, however, is par
slmonious number to have achiev-
ed distinction. There is plenty of
room for another brand. And
Colorado has ample chance to oc-
cupy this room. Wisconsin and
Iowa are struggling for it, but
neither Wisconsin nor Iowa have
the Colorado grasses, the Colorado
flowers, the Colorado opportunities
for agelng and tlavoring. There
fore why should not a Colorado
cheese, Pixies Peak cheese, or a
Douglas county cheese, or a Ute
cheese, or some such nomencla-
tured article, gradually work
itself into the lists with Shlton
and Edam and Schweltzerkase
and l[erkimer9 Farmers of Colo
