She Was Too Mad to Speak,

The Washington woman came across
some excellent tea in England-tea the
like of which she had never known be-
be had in America, so she bought
pounds and pounds of it to bring hcme
with her. She didn't mean to pay duty
on it, for she felt that no really patri-
otto American can consistently pay q
tea tax after what our ancestors did in
Boston harbor, so she made herself a
petticoat, and into the lining thereof
she quilted the tea. When the steamer
drew into port, she put on the garment.
To wear it was martyrdom. 1t seemed
to weigh ton. She could scarcely walk
in it, and the hang of her new going
ashore gown was utterly ruined by it,,
but the custom honse officials let her
pass without suspicion. She went d.
rectly to the railway station and started
for Washington. The journey will live
long in her memory for its discomfort.
Her husband met her at the station. He
marked her pale. worn look. AS they
stepped into the carriage she told him
the story.
81 wasn't going to let them get ahead
of ME" she said proudly. Wasn't it
a lovely idea ?"
Her husband fell back in the carriage
and roared.
"Lovelyr' he said. "Lovelyl I
should say it was. Why, my dear, there
ism any duty on tea
And let me remark in passing that
the child's sob in the silence isn't by
any means the only thing that curseth
deeper than the strong man in his
wrath. Washington Post.

1t is point of etiquette, universally
observed at the national capital, never
to obtrude attentions upon the president
when he appears in public. On the
street or in any place of amusement in
Washington the president has the un-
disputed privilege of appearing as any
private citizen. He ia never stared at
unless it is by strangers, and his APP
pearauce in theater is not II eeted
with any sort of demons tration. The
president may walk where he pleases in
the streets of Washington, meeting with
no further notice than the tipping of a
hat, unless of his own motion he stops
to speak with some one. Office seekers
and petitioners never venture to ap-
proach him on the street. His surest
radiance of the opportunities of the
throng is to go out among them.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, speaking OF
the American customs that had i'm.
pressed him. remarked that. while for
eigner's first impression might be that
the seeming indifference of the public
toward the president when he appeared
on the street or at the theater was the
result of an exaggerated idea of democ-
racy. it must become apparent on closer
observation that it was the highest pos.
sible tribute of respect and considera-
tion.-San Francisco Argonaut.
