One summer when William NJ. Evarts
was at his country home in Windsor,
Vt, a farmer who had followed his po-
litical career in the newspapers for
many years was extremely anxious to
see him in the flesh and drove IS miles
into town in order to catch a glimpse
of his idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be-
ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night and as he drove out
of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying in wait
for him i'll the road. The latter, seeing
the pale, ascetic face and meager form
of the famous statesman, was disap-
pointed.
well, 1 declare" he exclaimed,
''looks as if he'd always boarded"'
An impromptu riddle is attributed to
him here at his country place. One
day in presiding at table with swarm
of grandchildren about him he asked,
What is the difference between this
goose before dinner and me after?'
After much futile guessing he said in
quiet glee:
Now the goose is stuffed with sage,
and then the sage" pointing to himself,
will be stuffed with goose."-Home

No Joke In That.

NO Joke In Tnat.
"You Americans" said the London
young man as he stopped sucking his
cane, ARE always insinuating that we
Englishmen don't know what a real
joke is. Now, just hold your sides
while l go over this one which read
in a home paper a week ago:

not? Just awhile ago l heard one of
those vulgar Americans make the re-
mark that this morning you had a big
head.

London, Sept. 26.-Only through the
Associated Press adviceS from New
York, published in this mornings pa
pers, does the British public learn that
the United States and Great Britain
are ranged together in opposition to
the continental powers. Apparently
such a grouping was entirely uneXpect-
ed in both Berlin and London, and un-
til an official statement is made COM

Chronicle, however, devOtes a brief
editorial paragraph to the announce
ment, expressing a hope that it is
erroneous, and declaring that the only
way in which England can reap the
fruit of her eXertionS in China is by
standing shoulder to shoulder with
Germany and Japan, as the only effec
tive counterpoise to Russo-French ma
chinations and the weakened policy
of America"
The Times. in an editorial on China's
non-repentant mood, refers to Great
Britain's reply in the same tone as
The Daily Chronicle and says: The
country would be both astOnished and
shocked if our government did not
warmly support the German proposal.

MISS VAN LEWIS EFFECTS.
Her Personal Estate Includes Many
Valuable Relics.

RICHMOND, Oct. 10.-The appraise-
ment of the personal estate of Miss
Elizabeth L. Van Lew is in progress.
Many unique things, including rare
relics, have been found in the garrett of
the quaint Churchill mansion so long oc-
cupied by the union spy. Such things
as are likely to command good prices
will be sent to Boston for sale.
Among the interesting things found is
a woman's dress made of confederate
material. 1t is presumed she wore it
during the civil war as a disguise. A
splendid sword, one of the character car
ried by officers of almost gigantic statue
during the civil war, was found among
other things In the collection were
discovered hat and bonnet, such as
were worn about rs years ago by
Quakers. Miss Van Lew left many
boxes of books, some Of them very rare.
Two wills, one made in the early part
of 1895 and the other in the latter part
of that year, were discovered. They do
not differ materially from the will re-
Gently made and probated. They go
more into details as to what should be
done with the property.
Among other relics discovered was a
pair of buckskin pants made about 70
wears ago.
