You can't afford to trust men

the percentage.
We are not cutting to hold

An Interesting Character.

One of the most interesting charac-
tiers in Washington is a venerable
maiden lady, sister of former Sena-
tor from Virginia, man who has been
prominent in national history. She
lives at one of the church homes in
the Capital city, but spends most Of
her time visiting among old friends of
her family. She dresses in peculiar
style and wears the hoopskirts that
were in vogue during war times. In
fact, those who know of her circum-
stances say that she has not added to
her wardrobe since the beginning of
the civil war; when her income was cut
off and she was made an object of char
ity.
She is proud, independent and dig
nified, and will accept no financial as
sistance. She talks of her estates and
her bankers and her investments, but
the poor. woman has had no money in
her pocket for years. Wherever she
goes she carries little basket, which
contains all of her portable property
except her garments-three or four sill
yer spoons, a fork, a knife, a silver cup,
a watch. some antique jewelry and
toilet articles. and she never allows
them out of her sight for fear they
will be stolen.
She holds the Government of the
United States responsible for all of her
misfortunes, and General Grant is the
particular object of her hatred. If it
had not been for him, she thinks, the
South would have been victorious dur
ing the civil war, and her fortune might
have been sayed.-Saturday Evening
Post, Philadelphia.
