list came TO an American city from Lon

out to buy some artists materials. He
went to stationery store, and after
purchasing several things said:
''By the way, do you keep gums?''
The saleswoman smiled.
''No, indeed" said she, "but think
you can get them next door. +"
The artist thought it was peculiar
that he could not get what he wanted
at a stationer's, but thought perhaps it
was American. So he went next door
and found it was a shoe store.
"A funny place to keep gums, "quoth
he, but in he walked and asked for

Senator Cockrell Loves Apples.

Senator Cockrell has the reputation Of
eating more apples than any other man
in the upper branch OF congress- There
is not a day in the year that he does not
indulge in this fruit, and he buys the
largest and finest apples that can be
procured. He is not in the habit Of TAX
ing any luncheon at the capitol in the
restaurant or committee room outside
of the one, two or three apples he may
conclude to be necessary to tide him
over until his dinner hour arrives.
When Senator Cockrell gets an appetite
for an apple, he leaves his seat, and as
he drags his tall figure through the cor
ridor toward the appropriations COM
mittee room his pockets bulge out with
the fruit he has concealed in them. Sen.
ator Cockrell says that apples are the
most healthful fruit he knows, and he
believes that but for his fondness for
them he could not have half as good
health as he enjoys. He is one of the
most tireless workers in congress, and
seldom allows himself any time for in
dulging in the social pleasures of the
capital.

May Wear Ribbon or Rosette.

Holders of the bronze medal of honor
for the army have been for some time
entitled TO wear ribbon or rosette in
place of the medal, the form OF the sub
stitute having been prescribed by law.
Until short time ago there was no
such provision in the case of the naval
medal of honor to be worn orly by sea-
men. Representative Cummings has had
the matter attended to, and upon his
motion the house adopted all amendment
to the law proviGing the means by
which those who are so fortunate as to
hold medal may be able, when the
law is completed--as there is every prob
ability il speedily will be-to put the

It Wasn't a Challenge.

Speaker Reed proclivity for making
witty and sarcastic remarks while pre-
siding in the house of representatives
has come near leading him into trouble
with Representative Bailey, the Demo-
cratic leader. During one of the excit-

Bailey addressed parliamentary in
quiry to the speaker. Mr.. Reed respond
ed dryly

man will continue to notice he will

A shout of laughter greeted this, but
Mr.. Bailey did not think it was anus
ing. He retorted angrily, but after a
short colloquy with the speaker resumed
his seat. He thought the matter over
and considered he was insulted. He
wrote letter to the speaker demanding
an explanation and intrusted the letter
to Representative Cooper of Texas. Mr..
Reed refused TO receive it.
Mr.. Bailey, reluctant to embarrass
Mr.. Cooper, next intrusted his letter to
the speaker to Representative Sullivan
of Mississippi, who is his brotherin-
law. The speaker opened it, and finding
it was not challenge wrote an apol-
ogy. A q subsequent personal meeting

old and new artists, ~ water colors,
1913 miniatures, 20 lace exhibits, be-
sides fans and embroideries. Among the
paintings there were portraits by Char
tran, j. Edward Barclay, Mondum Vos,
Hubert Vos, Prince Troubeztkoi and
Benjamin Constant. Among the his
torical fans shown was one that was
wedding gift to Queen Isabella III of
Spain, and by her presented as a gift to
q Sevillian bride.

made an event of Importance in society,
and its interest was increased by the at

lNew York IIerald.l


Much interest has been aroused in
New York social circles by the news that
has just come across the Atlantic that
Mr.. Harry S. Lake, of this city, will
be married on October 18th to Miss
Marie Ziegler, of Paris.
Mr. Lake is the youngest SON of the
late George Lake, one of New York
old time merchant princes who for
many years was most active member
of the firm of Ubdisel, Pierson and Lake,
afterward Lake and McCreery. When
he died, some fifteen years ago, he was
quoted as a millionaire, and his widow
and three children inherited the bulk Of
the property. Some time after her hus-
bands death, Mrs. Lake married Mr..
Frederic Baker. who is well known in
fashionable circles, and is treasurer of
the Jekyl Island Club, and the owner
of considerable property at that Pretty
little Southern resort. The city residence
of the family is in upper Fifth avenue.
About two years ago Mr.. Harry Lake
sailed for Europe, accompanied by tu-
tor, to "do" the Old World and incident
ally finish his education, and he has
been abroad ever since Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker and the attractive daughter OF
the latter. Miss Frances Lake. joined
Mr.. Lake in Paris last spring, the entire
party putting up at the Hotel du Jar
din, in the Rue de Rivoli, Of which Mime.

death of her husband several years ago.
The Xiegler menage includes son,
Mr.. Edouard Ziegler. and very pretty
daughter. Miss Marie, and it was not
long before Mrs Baker discovered that
her son was head over heels in love with
the latter and quite determined to make
her his bride
Although she may have had other
plans for her sons future. like a wise
woman Mrs Baker not only yielded
gracefully to the inevitable. but went a
step further, and when the travellers
moved on. invited Miss Ziegler to accom-
pany them TO the North Cape and to Rus
sia-an invitation which was accepted.
When the party again reached Paris
preparations for the wedding were imme-
diately begun, and as soon as they are
welded Mr.. Lake and his bride will start
off again on a trip around the world.
