SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Her Pride in His Appearance


 The moment that General Lawton arrived in town from the front. Mrs. Lawton took charge of him. She saw to tt that his clothes and his food were right. andthe big soldier was as a child in the little woman's hands. writes Frederick Palmer in Golfers Week. ly.
 She hurried through the dark days of his absence by making light for the wounded officers and men of her husbands division, who were in the hospital. The arrangement that she was making to surprise each one with Christmas present had to wait for the three days that he was at home before he started on the insignificant expedition that cost him his life happened to see them both the last afternoon they Were to- gether. She was sitting near his desk at the division headquarters while he was looking over the typewriter's copy of has orders for the expedition, which he had written with pencil on pad in his full, round hand.
 I he'd brought him photograph of him. self, which was taken last spring. Anything about the general interested Mrs. Lawton at once. She scrutindzed the likeness care fully from many points of view, and con cludled that it was very good. Since it was taken, however, the general had grown fun beard.
 "I shall have to make another on that &C., count" suggested.
 But, as she looked first at the picture and then at the general, she seemed dubious about this.
 q don't know as I am going to let him keep the beard" she exclaimed Ut does very we'll for the present, for he has so nt- tile chance to shave when he is at the front"
 Would you go with him to post hop in the states if he wore it?" asked her jok- ingly
 "Oh, would go with him anywhere" she replied earnestly. .-

 The road ito tine generals headquarters was a well-beaten one for the correspond ents He was always accessible and kind ly, and never misplaced confidence by trust ing them with information as to his fu- ture movements.
 "It won't be worth your while to go with us on this trip" he said ''We are only gcing out to garrison San Mateo with two bartahons of infantry and an escort of Colonel Lockett's cavalry. Maybe there are 200 or 300 insurgents up there. They'll fire a few shots and run, as usual"
 Early in the afternoon a heavy rain- storm set in. On his way at o'clock in the evening out to the pumping station, where the little force was to be mobilized, he stopped at the Palace for a final word with General Otis, who told him again that he was needlessy exposing himself to the storm and to turn the command over to Colonel LoclSett.
 ''Oh, I'm all right" he said. This will keep the rafn off, referring to a long yell low oilskin coat that he was wearing.

The Italian residents Of America
have hitherto regarded themselves a.

oenized the fact that they held II

play han5 organs. The Italians were
the only ones who had the necessary
artistic temperament and were also
willing to work so hard. In time they
forgot their monopoly existed, not
from any inherent right to It Of their
own, but because everybody else was
willing they shoul have It. So they
came to think that II was an exclusive
birthright. And II ever there was q
monopoly that deserved the title Of

natural politician. he was always a
delegate to Democratic national con-
ventions and frequently presided over
state conventions, but had little In

years ago. however, during Cleveland's

he would like to end his days as a

eancy In an Alabama district and he
went to Washington to secure the aid
Of Senator Pugh, who had some infiu-
ence with President Cleveland. Pugh
looked over Pettus' long petition, but
hesitated about signing It.
The President" he said, wants
young men on the bench. You are too
old"
II am not too old to be a Senator"
responded Pettus, hotly, and returning
to Alabama, announced his candidacy
for the Senate to succeed Plgh, whose
term was about to expire. The contest
was one-sided. Pugh tried to stem the
tide, but IL was too late. and Pettus
took his seat In the Senate.

Senator Edward W. Pettus, Of Ala
bama. IL one Of the most interesting
figures in Congress. He Il the oldest
member Of the upper house. having
passed his 18th year, and because OF
his wise look and deliberate manner
OF speech has been called the Confu-
cius Of the Senate. But the venerable
statesman Is more youthful in spirit
than In appearance. Recently he con-
vulsed the Senate by a speech on the
Porto Rican situation. which sparkled
with humor and satire, and stamped
the aged Alabaman as the wittiest man
in the Senate. To most of his col
leagues 1t was q revelation, but to q
few who have sat In" small games

At least in some more stringent legis-

Even war, It seems, has come to be

unwholesome irritation with this spe-

Treyes does not mince matters, but

mentary term the surgeon explains
that he has no intention to reflect dis
credit upon the noble women nurses
and attendants, but upon woman
