know what an enjoyable boon It is to get
out and mingle with the good people of the
country. l shall ever treasure the memory
of my visit to Montpelier
And when left him there was sparkle
In his eye and a frmness in his grasp that
told me that he had enjoyed himself to the
o1most--tnat he truly appreciated the

Lucky Laugh.
When DR.. Depew came to Washington to
represent his state in the United States
Senate he brought with him all those
qualities which have made every newspa-
ms washington home, or when in the Sen
ate chamber, he is never too busy to see a
representative of the press, and for him he
always has kind word
one would scarcely think, to look at Sen
ator Baker Of Kansas. that he had ever
been the target of a wOuld-be murderer-a
murderer, In fact. The senator will tell
you that his good nature saved him from
ing one.
"A dozen or more years ago an unprin-
cipied young fellow named Thurston was
trleo IN LeaVenworth on a charge of muir
DER. Baker, then member of the Leaven-
worth bar. defended Thurston, and after
an exciting trial. secured his acquIttal.
Two years afterward ThurSton Quarreled
with man named Anthony editor of a
LeavenWorth newspaper, because Of the
puDhcation by the latter of an article which
cast some reflections upon him. They met
on ohe main street, and Thurston, without
any warming. whipped out gun and began
nrins. Anthony escaped injury, but one of
Ine bullets went clean through Senator
BAKER who was about rod and a half
away. talking with friend.
Baker mad been listening to funny story
Inc point was reached simultaneously with
Inurston's firing. In a burst of laughter
Baker drew his body backward. The bullet
struck the f1eshy part Of his left arm and
passed on through the left lung. For sew
eral weeks he lowered between life and
oeath: Today he Is apparently as well-pre-
served as any man In the United States
SENATE. AS to Thurston. he was convicted
OF shooting with intent to kill, and was
given long term in the state prison.
Her Searching Eye.
The searching eye of country school,
ma was necessary to find an egregrious
grammatical error in the inscription on the
volume Of names of contributors which
accompanies the beautiful loving cup re-
Gently presented to Admiral Dewey. A few
days before the presentation this young
Woman-lt was her first visit to the ma
tlonal capital - was walking up Pennsyl-
wanna avenue, when the loving cup in a
window OF local jewelry store caught her
gaze. She surveyed the huge cup of silver
critically, and then read the inscription on
the cover Of the book. This is the inscrip-
ton:

The school nam was not slow in making
her discovery known, and from that time
on there was about as much interest dis
played In finding the error as there was in
seeing the testimonial. wherein are set
forth would be in better form, but likely
the person who drafted the inscription was
not a stickler for grammatical precision
Be that as 1t may, Admiral Dewey appre-
ciates thoroughly the spirit of the givers

that her initial visit to Washington was not
in vain
