A Queer Happenino.

Some time around 1880 TWO men sat in
the smoking car Of d train bound from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg. They were
both big. stout men. Il was night time:
they were alone. and the desire for con
versation seemed to strike each of them
at the same time, for they arose stimuli
taneously.
Il was about to remark" said the frs.
man, that my name is Stone, and come
from Allegheny
And | was about to remark" said the
other. that my name is Hastings and
that | hail from Center
Soon after that Stone became United
States district attorney for western Penn
sylvania and Hastings became adiutaut-
general of the state. Then later still
they became g0vernor-that is, one at a
time.

MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
LoUeET is THE LINCOLN OF

Friends-Hls Aged Mother stiii Works
on the Farm.

Emile Loubet is the Lincoln OF
France. He Is man of the people
and a son of the soil. His father was
a small farmer, almost a peasant, and
his aged mother still works on that
farm. Unlike other Presidents of
France, he is neither a half-hearted
monarchist nor representative Of the
capitalistic upper-minded classes. He
Is a man who thinks a republic the
only form of government possible in
France. 1t is remarkable that such
man should have been elected when
the prospects of imperialists. royalists
and other adventurers seemed brighter
than they had been for twenty years.
1t seems republicanism is under the
protection Of the Divine Providence or
common sense One incident of this
illustrates charmingly the humble ori-
gin and unaffected ways Of the new
President. His first act after he was
elected was to send telegram to his
mother. who is now Sc years old. but
still capable and able-bodied. The
postman who delivered the dispatch to
her found her in the poultry yard OF
her farm gathering UP hens eggs. Sne

justice for the United States supreme
court and department OF justice will

known architect to a Washington Star
reporter. 1T may also bring about g.
new executive mansion for a residence
mansion. though the present white
house will probably be used as the Of
fetal residence OF the president and
for all state functions. 1t will, in the
end, however, be enlarged. l have
conversed with several senators who
are members of the committee on
public buildings and grounds and find
that they are thoroughly convinced
that such separation should take
place, as it would tend to make the
family life OF the president much more
agreeable. The difficulty in the case
is that. with the single exception OF
President Grant. no president has ever
officially written single word in favor
OF new executive mansion, and even
Grant was not as enthusiastic on the
subject as was desired Gen. Garfield
would have strongly indorsed the
proposition officially had he lived long
enough. though President Hayes was
but lukewarm on the subject. He fa-
vored the separation of the official res
idence from the private residence, pre-
ferring that the latter should be some
where in the suburbs, but he never put
MS Ideas into writing. President Ar
thur never made any expression on
the matter, while President Cleveland
openly opposed the plan and settled
the question so far as he was concern
ed by purchasing a private residence
one OF his terms and leasing one the
last term. Mrs. Harrison was, on the
other hand. enthusiastically in favor
OF an enlargement Of the white house,
though she did not concur in the plan
OF separating the official from the pri-
vate residence, except so far as separ-
ating them in the same building. Gen.
Harrison, however. did not go SO far
as she did, though he did not make
any expression against her ideas.
President Mckinley, am told. thinks
as Mrs. Harrison did, that the build
ing should be enlarged. and as prog
ress is made upon the new depart
ment OF justice building his impress
sions are likely to grow, SO that he
VIII in the end officially recommend
the enlargement. Should he do SO.
that VIII bring up the entire question
and l would not be surprised IL some
time In the near future, speaking in
general way, not only the enlarge
ment VIII be made. but. in addition,
there will be separate private resi-
dence provided for. The only thing
that can defeat the latter proposition
Is that there may be a wrangle about
where the private residence shall be
located, for, OF course, the various in
ierests that will be effected will have
considerable influence one way and an
other. The first thing that will be
done, though, will be the enlargement.
That is as sure as anything can be.
and. as have said before. the new nal
ace OF justice will emphasize the ad-
vantages and absolute necessity O.

HE ADDS PITo HIS LUNCH.
suburbanites Struggle with the Restiess
Paper Parcel.

The man in the suburbs had his
lunch neatly tied in square yellow
paper parcel which did not look its
function. He started from the house
in orderly precision. but had barely
turned the corner when he stubbed his
toe and dropped the unsuspicious bun
die 10 the sidewalk. splitting the yell
low paper and depositing sandwiches
and cake on the ground. Then the
train whistle sounded its warning note
and In despair the tortured suburban.
ite crammed cake and bread promis-
cuously into his pockets and started
on a run for the station. He caught
the last platform of the last car and
hurriedly sank into q seat. When the
conductor asked for his ticket he man

could not have been human and done
otherwise. But the man made no al
lowances for uncomfortable rislbllities.
He glored at the offending men and
women. savagely thrust back the bread
and battered cake into his pocket and
enveloped his burning countenance in
the cooling pages Of the morning pa
per. But there was a look OF flint in
his eye that spoke the finish OF the

Loubet was born on Dec 30, 1898. 1t
is called la Terrasse," and is about
two miles from the little town of
Montellmar. in the department OF the
Drome, in the south of France. The
people OF the south are noted for their
superior intelligence and often for
their lazlness as compared with the
people OF the north. Young Loubet
was both intelligent and Industrious
AS boy he worked on the farm and
went to school. Later he went to a
college in Montellmar and worked on
the farm during his vacations. He be-
came member OF the bar Of Montell-
mar. At 81 he was elected a member
of the Chamber Of Deputies. In 1887
he was minister Of public works. later
minister OF the interior, and in 1892
