Meeting the President.

one OF THE presidents duties which have
their painful side is the almost interminable
handshaking which accompanies presidential
reception. BESIDES the physical eXertion re-
quircd, the monotony Of the thing must be
wcarisome almost beyond endurance, unless it is
broken as no doubt it often is by some anus
ing incident,
When Mr.. Cleveland was at Weldon, N. G.,
during his first term, great crowd shook hands
with him. In the middle Of the line was
long, lanky countryman, who took the greatest
interest in the scene.
At length he reached the president, and
grasped him warmly by the hand.
"Wcl," said he $50 you are the president"
"Ycs," replied Mr.. Cleveland, II am the
president"
"Well," continued the old fellow shaking
Mr. Clcvclands hand like a pump,handlc, 1--WE
voted for many a president in my time, but |
never seed one hefore,' lie paused a moment,
and looking the president up and down and
from one side to the other, he excaimed;
"Well, you are a whopper!"
The president smiled and the crowd laughed.
At another time Mr.. Cleveland was receiving
delegation OF teachers at the white house
"Dr. Lucky, of Pittsburg," said the intro.
duccr, as 4 gentleman stepped forward to shake
hands,
II had been intended that the other teachers
should follow In turn, but somehow dilapidat-
cd-lookng old tramp had slipped into line Just
behind DIR, Lucky, As he shuhled up to the
president there was pause, Nobody knew his
name, and even the tramp seemed to feel EN-

army. says that when he was going into
the battle OF Bull Run the Irish sergeant major
of his regiment came TO him with a big bag
OF gold coin weighing three or four pounds and
said:
doctor / know that Pm to be kilt en-.
tirey, an / want you to take care of this
money an see that it gets to the ould folks
at home"
There was no time to demonstrate or to make
any other arrangement and dropping the bag
into the surgeons lap the Irishman hurried
away TO his place at the head of the column.
All through two bloody days DR.. Sternbcrg
carried that bag Of gold with his surgical In
struments, and 1t was a burden and embarrass
ments to him. lie tried to get rid Of 1t, but
couldn't find any one willing to accept or even
to share the responsibility and he couldn't
throw it away for the sake of the could folks
at home"
Toward the close of the second day the sur
geon was taken prisoner. He lost his surgical
Instruments and his medicine case, but clung
to the gold, and making belt Of his nccktie
and handkerchief tied 1t around his waist next
to his skin to prevent it's contiscation Ivy his
captors. During the long, hot and weary
march that followed the gold pieces chafed his
flesh, and his waist became so sore and blistered
as to cause him intense suffering, but he was
bound taht the could folks at home should
have the benefit Of that money, and by the eS-
crcise Of great caution and patience managed
to keep it until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington There
he found his regiment in camp, and one of the
first men to welcome him was the Irish ser
gcant major who was so delighted to learn
that the doctor had saved his money that he
got drunk and gamhed it all away the first
night.-Chicago Record.

Instructed the Queen.

A HITHERTO unrecorded anecdote of the Queen
"A is the following, says the Scottish Ameri-
can: "One auturn afternoon, many years ago,
Her Majesty was going out to sit on a hillside
and watch some Of her relatives fishing in the
river below her, when she found that she had
no thimble in her pocket, so could not work,
as she had intended, at the sewing she was car
rying. Turning out Of her way to Mrs Sy-
mond's shop, she bought the smallest thmble
there, which was, however, many sizes too big
for her. There was an old Scotch dame at
the counter impatiently waiting to make her
own purchases Not recognizing the queen she
broke into the conversation with 'Hoots but
it's rare fuss an faddle you're maxim. Blow
intae It weel, an it'll tick"
That phrase, the latter part Of the sentence,
amused Her Majesty immensely, and became
quite proverb in the royal family.

an economic battle. Hours of labor
and amount of pay are unchanged.
The men of efficiency employed to take
the strikers places will be retained

occur will be filled by those strikers

1t has been estimated that the money
ties in interest, including the general
public, exceeds 10000, 900, but of course
the estimate is merely a guess. Some
of its factors can be ascertained with
approximate precision; such, for exam
pie, as the wage loss of the men while
fares, the cost of extra police and
guards and the direct damage to prop
erty through outbursts of violence.
These factors alone run far into the
millions. There is, however, no means
of discovering how much loss has been

been tied up and whole districts of

trary sway of infuriated mobs, whose
temper was shown in the public de-

aggregate of this loss, measured in
money, must have been enormous.

An Important Question.

r N THESE stirring days when
every portion of the globe seems
l. to be in conspiracy to furnish
the most exciting news, the need
of well edited newspaper in the fam
lily circle is especially noticeable ana
imperative. The American people
have expanded in their news interest
even more rapidly than they have ex-
panded in territorial responsibilities.
The Philippines, South Africa, China,
India-these places, once hardly
thought of, are no longer mere names
on the map, but busy centers of vital
human interest, the news from which,
as daily chroncled by the wonderful
enterprise of the Associated Press, is
awaited as eagerly and devoured with
as much avidity as is the news of the
immediate neighborhood.
Not within the memory Of living men
has there been a time when the circle
of American contact with the world
at large was so wide as it is today
or so vitality endowed with electric pos
sibilities in commerce, politics, diplo-
macy and evangelization. The boy or
girl privileged to grow up in this
stimulating atmosphere of cosmopoli-
tanism needs for purposes of daily edu-
cation in respect to the stirring
topics of the times the best and most
reliable newspaper which money can
buy, and If we measure the value of
that newspaper in it's influence upon
the character and mental attitude of
its readers the very oest paper avail
able is by all odds the cheapest,
whether its casn cost is one penny,
two cents or three.
1t is time, therefore, when the par
ent who takes an inferior paper be-
cause ii is cheap or because il is
fashy, demagogic and sensational
commits wrong upon the children be-
fore whose eyes it goes; and the i'm
portance of wise choice in this re-
spect deserves to be emphasized by
every conservative and order-loving
| influence in the community. The press
| is undoubtedly the great and growing
medium of distributing information
among the people, and it is vitally con-
sequential whether the press shall be
| encouraged to descend to sensational
ism, with scorn of truth, decency and
| high principle, or encouraged to culti-
vate sense OF its moral responsibility.
| This is a question which each COM
| munlty must answer for itself. 1t Is
going to be, as the news field grows
| in size and intensity of human interest
| and as the grand army of newspaper
| readers gains in membership, a ques-
tion of increasing moment to the well
| fare of the American people.

Colonel Bryan's Obligation.

v OF ONLY as a matter Of
ENE courtesy but also through
T. force of logic, Colonel Bryan
will cast this fall ballot for
William Mckinley and the straight Re-
publican ticket. He recently said:
"We'll be willing to take the votes of
all.the people who have not had their
shdre of prosperity and leave the Re-
publicans the votes of the people who
haYe had their share"
IN 1896 Mr.. Bryan made return to the
tax, collector in the Fifth ward of Lin
coin, Neb., that his entire taxable prop
erty was worth. for purposes of taxa
tioh, only $270. This year he returns
1t as worth $456O, or more than sixteen
times the value OF four years ago 1t
