W." AOse~@Ss
Colonel j v. Q. Paddock, late Of the
regular army, tolls . story about Presi-
dent Lincoln which he vouohes for as be-
Ing absolutely true. The story goes away
back to the early days Of the civil war,
whom IL did look as II the Confederates
wero going to annihilate the north. The
Alabama and the Shenandoah were In
commission and were threatening our
coast cities with destruction. There GER
tainly was q very lively fear entertained
in New York city that the Alabama WAS
soon to begin bombardment, and Boine
of the prominent citizens began to worry.
A meeting was called, and three Of tho
wealthiest men there at that time, msr-
chant princes, In fact. were chosen as o
committee to 60 to Washington and ask
the president to at once begin terrifying
the harbor.
This committee happened to be composed
Of men Of small stature, chunky little fell
lows, but with an enormous idoa Of their
own Importance. They reached Washing
ton and went to the Ebbitt House, where
they had breakfast 1t was their inten-
tiOn to stroll leisurely to the White House,
state the object of their visit to- tho presi-
dent take him out to lunch with them
and get back to New York early in the
evening.
The committee reached the White House
about II O'Clock. They fully expected to
be ushered at once into the presence of
Mr.. Lincoln, but they were not. They
waited out In tho anteroom like all tho
others, and at the end of an hour they
concluded that the president had some
business to attend to besides that Of New
York committee.
But at last, about Up. NJ, ravenously
hungry and impatient at the delay, they
were usherod in to see Mr.. Lincoln. Their
astonishment was unbounded when they
learned he did not know them, but they
took great care he should learn all about
who they were and their wealth and I'M
portanoe. The chairman had prepared
speech, but some way, talking up to the
president, who lowered above them like
giant, 1t did not sound a. howery and
grand as when he had rshearssd 1t to his
colleagues at the breakfast table.
Mr.. Lincoln listened to them gravely,
seriously, attentively. When the chairman
had finished and tho others had put in the
weight OF their words, hs said:
=. 'Well, now, gentlemen, I'll tell you
what would do were in your place. II
I were as rich as you say you are and half
as scared as you to all appearances are,
would 60 back to New York and fortify
the harbor myself. New York Tele.

By rule of our acoidenoe is changed
to whenever es or cd Is added to word
ending in y after a consonant, but no
change is made when or cd is added to
word ending In y after vowel. Famil-
lar examples, besides money, are bay,
key, toy, buy, alley, attorney, chimney,
donkey, journey, kidney, pulley, valley.
Nothing can be said against the change Of
y to i, seeing that In earlier times there
was scarcely any distinction between the
two vowels, but there is something mon
strous in the thought Of changing the
combinations ey into ie when we would
add s, and into when we would add ed.
Monies" and ''honied" are, In these
days, oddities reconcilable, like "donkies,"
"monkies," etc., only with ignorance.

Well, you may be sure I told that boy

they call him Mike Spad-not Harold

The father was looking silently at the

He generally thought matters over before
