ine, of course, Adelina was compelled
to cover up her ebon braids with a wig
of fiaXen hair. Later on she reached
New Orleans. In that city Patti, with
her sister Carlotta and her brother
Carlo, had spent her early childhood.
and she knew and loved nearly all of
those who came to greet her as an OPP
cratic star at the French opera house.
Just before the curtain rose on the
opening night Mr.. Strakosch, who was
to conduct the opera. appeared in the
greenroom and was amazed to find the
bride of Lammermoor waiting to go
on the stage with her own black tresses
waving down her back, instead of the
pale, corn-colored locks of the Scottish
laSsie.

excitedly inquired the great impresa

''Oh, TO, it is not absurd" calmly
responded Patti. "My old friends in
New Orleans only know me as black
haired. skinny little Italian. and not as
golden-crowned Scotch girl. Besides,

please anyone"
The distracted manager argued, pro-
tested, threatened and cajo.ed, but
"AdGie' stood firmly to her purpose.
A tremendous welcome was accorded
the youthful diva, but the audience
greeted Lucia not as fair-polled bride
but as their own 'black- haired. skinny
little Italian. n."-Chicago Chronicle.

He Undertook to Intimidate SCHOOL,
Teacher, But Got the
Worst of 1t.

When Charles ID. Folsom the New
York lawyer, left Phillips-EX
academy, New Hampshire. he had a
distinct feeling of pride that he was
graduated from the same school that
sent Daniel Webster to fight the bat
tie of life, and, because Webster's
second step was school teaching, and
because he needed the money, he
adopted this profession. From this
time, on, to use .fis own words,
all likeness between his own and
the great statesman's career end
ed, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
1t was at Sanbornton Square, New
Hampshire. There were four giants
of boys in the school, all over Is years
of age, and Mr.. Folsom was only 10.
But he had the advantage of prac-
teal physical training on his side.
One day the father of one of the
giants, who had a bad reputation as
local fighter, drove up to the school
house with an AK and asked for the
teacher. He hammered on the door
for several moments, and when the
teacher appeared he returped to his
buggy. The irate parent said:
Young man, did you lick one OF my
boys yesterday"
81 did. sir.''
"Well, if you do it again I'll fix
you"
mo, you went" was the answer;
"I'll whip your boys so long as they
are under my charge and disobey the
rules"
"Well, we'll see" said the man, pre-
.paring to get out.
1t just then occurred to Mr.. Fol-
som that this was his time, and he
lifted the bed of the light buggy Off
the wheels and dipped it over. Into
the ditch rolled the man with the AK,
while the teacher and 35 school chill
dren looked on and grinned. 1t was
too much for the man. and, adjusting
the buggy top, he rode quietly away.

PRESERVING SEASON.
Suggestion Regarding Putting Up
Frrit That Should he Regarded
by Wise eHOusekeepers.

In putting up fruit see that all the
essentials are on hand before beginning
work. Don't wait until the fruit is in
the preserving kettle before running
to the corner grocery for sugar. 1t is
economy of time to buy sugar in 2j or
5O-pound bags, for you Will need it right
along, suggests writer in the Wash
ington Star. See that all utensils are
in perfect order that a supply Of new
rubber bands is on hand and that the
cans and glasses are as clean and sweet
and clear rs soap and water can make
them. If every time can has been
emptied it has been carefully washed
and dried and put away with its own
top screwed on this part of the work
will be greatly simplfied. Yet, even
If cleaned before putting away. they
will need to be scalded just before
using. Have ready a small sharp-pont-
ed knife for pairing: silver-plated
fruit knife ground to fine edge and
kept expressly for this purpose is best.
Have ha+f pound of paratfin on hand
for covering iellies, several long-han-
died wooden spoons, ladle, colander.
a bright tin strainer, q small slewer
or silver nutpick. several large bowls
and platters and a couple of large por-
celain or granite kettles. Never use tin
vessels for cooking fruit, nor yet iron.
Brass, when thoroughly cleaned. is
pleasant to use, but its expense and
the labor necessary to keep it in good
condition preclude its adoption in the
ordinary kitchen. A plentiful supply
of cheesacloth and towels. and large
mouthed funnel to use in filling jars
should also be in readiness.
The size of the cans to be used may
depend largely on the size of the fam
fly. For a small family the pint-sized
jar is best for nearly everything. TAX
ing pains to select those with wide
mouthed tops. Half-gallon jars will be
found useful for large whole fruits

CHAPTER III.
THE WAGER.

What | mean to assert" said Ralph
Sturgis, with quiet conviction, 'is that
every crime is its own historian; that
all its minutest details are written in
circumstantial evidence as completely
as an eyewitness could see them-aye,
more fully and more truly than they
could be described by the criminal him
self
The reporter was man of about 80,
whose regular features bore the un-
mistakable stamp of intelligence and
refinement. In repose, they wore an
habitual expression of introspective
concentration, which might have led
n careless observer to class Ralph Stur-
gis in the category of aimless dream
ers. But a single flash of the piercing
gray eyes generally sufficed to dispel
any such impression; and told of keen
perception and underlying power. The
mouth was firm and kind; The bearing
that of gentleman and "a man of edu-
cation.

WIVES OF PRESIDENTS.
Personal Appearance of the Charm-
Ing American Women Who Have
Ruled the White House.

OF mistresses Of the white house one
Of the most popular was Mrs. James X.
Polk. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she was
a brunette, and of fine presence; it was
often remarked that not a crowned
head in Europe could queen it more
royalty than the wife of the republican
president. Poets penned verses III her
honor. and on the last Sunday of her
stay in Washington a clergyman ad-
dressed her from the pulpit. She was
treated with great distinction, and aft
er leaving the white house was visited
every New Years day by the Legislators
in body.
Mrs. George Washington also had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. Shs
was not beauty, but she had a good
form, rather below middle weight, and
her manners were frank and engaging.
She dressed plainly, and at a ball given
in her honor she wore simple russell
gown and white handkerchief about
her neck. One of her dresses, which shs
herself manufactured. was of cotton,
striped with silk, which she obtained
from rawlings of brown silk stockings
and old crimson chair covers.
Mrs. Monroe was considered beauty.
She was tall and gracefully formed.
polished and attractive in society. Mrs.
John Adams was never beautiful but
she was of imposing appearance aud
very intellectual.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was famed
for her charming manners. and Mrs.
Andrew Jackson for her amiable tenn
per and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van
Buren,. who died before her husband be-
came president, was a pretty woman,
with modest. unassuming manners and
gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler was one of ths
bellies of eastern Virginia. and was mo,k
attractive in her striking loveliness OF
person and character. The second Mrs
Tyler was the first woman TO marry b
president. Before her marriage She
was. for the one season she spent there.
the belle of Washington.
\ sparkling brunette was Mrs. VIII
liam Henry Harrison. She was very
handsome. with a face full of anima-
ton. and her health. which was robust.
added a glow to her features. which in
creased her charms. Upon her cOun
tenance." it is recorded, mature had
been profusely liberal
Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remark
able for her beauty. Her complexion
was brilliant; her large. expressive eyes
of"the richest tinge ofauburu." Alittls
above medium weight, she was slightly
and delicateiy formed. She danced,
sang. played the spinnet and harpsi-
chord and rode with great skill.
Mrs. James Madison was a pretty.
buXom woman, with a smile and pleas
ant word for everyone. She had regu-
lar features and sparkling eyes.
Mrs. Zachary Taylor was quiet
woman, but had great strength of char

To begin with, he's "a good fellow"
That's phrase easier understood by
men than by women. 1t generally
means-wen, it means he's an all
round good sort i'll the male line,
says the Philadelphia Press. The
other afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite
thirsty, if what he had taken was to
be judged as criterion. And the Ii
bations left him in Il thoroughly good
humor, and he felt at peace with the
world. In this delightful mental and
physical state he bethought him of
friend of his in Providence, II. |. And
he further thought that he would call
up that particular friend on the tele
phone. So he went to Broad street
hotel, told the young woman there
who had charge of the phone that he
wanted to speak to Mr.. So-and-So in
Providence, and wouldn't she kindly
call up the party. The girl did as she
was bade. Party on the phone" she
said, and the man went into the tele-
phone box. sat down and put the re-
ceiver to his ear. And then he calmly
and sweetly dropped off to sleep.
When he woke up he owed the tele-
phone company $500. He said he
wouldn't pay it-but he did.

where her husband. as Maj. Taylor, was
stationed. She had no am bition beyond
making her home happy.
y blond of rare beauty was Mrs. Mil
lard Fillmore. with a skin of dazzling
whiteness and auburn hair. She was
quite tall, with a fine figure and of COM
manding presence. She is ranked with
the wives of the two Adamses as q
learned woman, and it was through her
that her husband asked for and OBJ
tanned an appropriation of congress ts

that time there had been a Bible there.
and little more.
Another woman of rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had
many accomplishments. She was very
refined and quiet, stunning society.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln as girl was
very attractive and she had many suit
ors. When she became the mistress
of the white house she was fair and
forty" That she was the successor of
the popular and accomplished Miss
Lane was not point in her favor. AT
the first levee she appeared in pink
silk, decolete, short-Sleeved dress and
a floral headdress. which ran down to
her waist and destroyed what comeli-
ness simplicity might have given her.
Mrs. Andrew jackson possessed tn.
beauty of face ard form which rem
dered her mother one of the most beau
tiful of women Mrs. Grant was n
blond of delicate figure, rather below
middle stature. Mrs Hayes was of very
attractive appearance. Mrs. Garfield
was noted for her tact, and her hus-
band once said that he never had to ex-
plain away any words of his wife.
Mrs. Arthur, who died before her hus-
band became president. was known aa

as if the swapping of a thread in the
fabric of city's life were a thing of
constant occurrence and of no mo-
ment.
A few tiny dark red stains upon the
pavement were all that remained TO tell
the story of the scene which had so
recently been enacted in the busy
thoroughfare. Presently even these
were obiterated by the random stroke
of horses hoof.
The ripple had disappeared from the
surface. The stream of life was flow
ing steadily once more through the
arteries of the metropolis.
