very important duty to perform to-day
and wanted to ask you, as q great favor,
to help me out ! am the chairman of

that nearly $4,000 persons have sub

powered me to make selection of the
property to be used by the Admiral for
the rest of his life, and there is no one
from whom | would rather take ad-
vice ON this subject than you. Will
you go along with me and help me

When the General heard the propo-
sition he stopped eating and rose Then
he extended his hand to the stranger,
and with tears in his eyes said
There are two things that move me
at this time, sub. One is yo' evident
confidence in me and tn othah is that

fresh air if he did not know what he
was doing? And do you think any
body would ever subscribe to maya
zine that gave advice endangering
their health? Well. l don't" he ad-
ded, with determination in his tone,
"and I'm going to have not only one
but all the windows open. It'll do me
good"
Mrs. jenkins saw that nothing could
change him, and so took her workbox
and went down stairs. AS she walked
along the hallway she could hear the
noise made by opening the windows
upstairs.
And, indeed, it was SO, for Jenkins
was throwing up every window that he
saw. In consequence the damp air
poured into the room. Jenkins sat
down in big armchair where all the
dampness could reach him best.
"Ah-h-h-h-h-h!" h e calculated.
what a grand thing it is to have the
benefit of the experience of others.
Without that article l never should
have known how grand thing this
fresh-air scheme was. Why, it's just
like being taken cut Of putrid at
mosphere and landed among the ze-
phyrs of heav-a-a-achew.
'sWhy, sitting in a pi-achew! a-a-
aehew!"
The soliloquy of Jenkins on the
beauties of the fresh-air scheme now
began to be interrupted by continu-
Gus sneezing, and finally a feverish
condition of his face and arms warn
ed him that something was not right.
Then he jumped UP and perused the
article again. Reading a little below
the place he stopped at before. he
found that the Hints for Health ad-
ded that the policy Of having plenty Of
fresh air was only for those days when
the sun was bright and when the air
was free from dampness.
Jenkins looked out of the window
and saw that there was a fine drizzle
and that the day was a particularly
raw and damp one. Then he hurried
ly closed the windows and went to
the door to call his wife, To his hor-
bor he found that he could scarcely

young man, with a display of great

an hour or more. You recollect that

minute two cocktails stood before
them. Drawing his sword, the General
saluted, and then replacing it gravely
in its scabbard slowly allowed the mix
ture to trickle down his throat.
AT this point the members of ks
staff began to arrive, and the General
noted with much sympathy that they
were in low spirits. He was feeling
slightly better himself, but realized that
another shade Of improvement could
be effected, and so remarked:
Nah lads, All bid yo' good mawnin'.

etiquette is concerned. to ask yo to

GENERAL BEHUREGALDO.
He Selects The Future Residence of admiral
Dewey.

'sAh feel like All had been through
hahd campaign, suh.
This remark was made by the illus
Hrious General Beauregaldo in response
to question on the part of the clerk
behind the desk of the hotel at which
the General and his staff had put UP
for the night.
Those who are following the Gen
eral in his meanderings will remember
that that officer and his men had come
to Washington to take part in the Dew
ey celebration; that they failed in their
purpose; that they finally came to a
hotel and spent the evening hilariously;
that they passed the unanimous and
befuddled resolution to go to Vermont
and see the Admiral in ibis own home.
The General was up before the mem
beers OF MS staff, but he was not the
General of former times. His nous
tache dropped and there seemed to be
tired feeling displayed in his listless
walk This may or may not have been
the result of the love-feast of the even
fng before Unconsciously, however,
the General drifted in the direction of
the bar Of the hotel.He seemed to be
looking at no particular object or
thinking of no particular thing.
In front of the bar, engaged in
watching the mixer prepare morning
fecoction, was bright, dapper-looking
young man of about 80 years. He
turned and looked at the General with
an interested air. He noted the wink
OF the bartender, Of which the General
himself was entirely oblivious. With

All accept it. Ah'il go with yo' imme-
diately aftah breakfus', sur"
And so, soon after breakfast the Gen.
eral and his new friend. Mr.. Macem.
the chairman OF the committee, started
out, leaving the members of the staff
at the hotel. 1t was agreed that tie
pair had better take a carriage, and
this was done. Mr.. Macem insisted up
on paying the fare, calling the Gener-
ais attention to the fact that the
money came out Of the fund provided
for the purpose.
This was satisfactory, and the next
hour was spent in making an extend
ed trip through the most fashionable
neighborhoCds. The General and his
friend finally hit upon house that
from outside appearances would seem
TO meet all requirements, and as Mr..
Macem told him he already had his eye
ON the property, and knew it could be
purchased, the General was thoroughly
satisfied. When Mr. Macem. asked
him, however to accompany him to see
Admiral Dewey next day and inquire
whether the house suited him, the sat-
isfaction of the General knew no
bounds, and his face was wreathed in
smiles.
Il was very fortunate this morning,
General" said Mr.. Macem. II received
word that | had won prize in lot
terry. If you have no objection we will
step around there and get the ticket
cashed."
The General agreed to this with the
greatest of pleasure, being anxious only
to get back to his men to tell them of
his good fortune in securing such a
fine friend. Then the pair wendell
their way to locality which was re-
markable for it's soualor and poverty
Into one Of the lowest looking places
Mr.. Macem took the General, and to-
gether they passed into a rear room.
Several men were playing cards at a
table, and the General became inter-
ested at once, as everybody seemed to
be winning but one man, and he, as
Mr. Macem represented, ran the game
and was very foolish.
Then Mr.. Macem told the General
that he would have some time to wait
before he could get his ticket cashed,
and inquired if he would like to take
part in little game. The General
said he wouldn't mind, and sat down
on the table.
When he arose his face wore an ex-
preston of disgust. He had lost every
penny and was confronted by the leer-
ing faces of the three toughs who had
played the game with him. Then he
turned to hunt for Macem, but he could
not be found.
All at once he seemed to realize what
had happened to him. He strobe out
of the place and up the street with
most shame-faced expression.
"Buncoed by thundah." he shouted,
waving his arms. Then he pulled out
his immense sword and cut straight
through an ash barrel that stood on
the pavement.
"Adml Dewey, eh?" he yelled, and
made more circles in the air with his
sword
'sJes wait till All find Mistah Ma
Gem. tn chairman of that committee"
And then the General inquired the
way to the bank in which he could get
money. Whereupon he strobe off rap
idly in that direction, his sword still
in hand.

speak above whisper. Realizing that
he was in bad way he rushed down
to the kitchen where he found his
wife. Going close to her he shouted
in her ear as loud as he could that
he believed that he was sick from the
dampness and would go to bed.
yes said his wife, looking at him
with a shade of triumph in her voice,
"you might get pneumonia from that
foolishness.''
Pneumonia" shrieked Jenkins, at
the top of his weak voice, then
might die!" And with terrible look
of alarm in his face he hurriedly got
a sheet of paper and began to write.

lieral proposition, and as his men were
eager to partake of solid refreshment
it was accepted. A fine breakfast ac-
cordingly awaited them after they had
accepted the hospitality of the stranger
in another drink at the bar. They
marched to the table, where the General
took the head, with the young stranger
on his right. After the General had
taken cut his sword and broken his egg
with it he listened to the young strang-
err, who said his name was Macem.

Half an hour later Jenkins was piling

regained enough of his voice to say:
