Mrs. McKinIey's Thouqthfulness.

In connection with Brigadier- Gener-
al Frederick D. Grants appointment
to his present rank a pretty story is
told that illustrates the kindly heart
of Mrs. Mckinley.
AS the President and she sat talk
ing one evening Mr.. Mckinley told
her that he had that day decided to
give General Grant this last advance,
and Mrs. Mckinley expressed her
pleasure at learning of the intended
promotion, and added:
"Don't you think, dear, that it
would be nice to send a note to Mrs.
Grant, telling her that you had de-
cided to appoint her son? 1t would
be so much nicer for her to get it di-
rect from you than to read the Off
cial announcement in the papers.
can imagine how a mother would like
to know of her sons promotion"
The President agreed, and going to
a writing table he penned a little note
stating that at Mrs. McKinley's re.
quest he wrote to tell Mrs. Grant
that he would take pleasure on the
following day in appointing her son,
" Fred" to the rank of a brigdier-gen.

Porto RiCO's Governor.

1t is remarkable coincidence that
the governors of the extreme eastern
and western possessions the United
States should be young men of similar
age and chosen from the same class
at college.
The new Governor of Porto Rico,
William Henry Hunt, received his ed
ucation at Yale college, but on &C
count of ill health did not finish his
course. In 1896 Yale conferred upon
him the honory degree OLA. M. Judge
William II. Taft, Governor of the
Philippines, was his friend and class
mate at college. Mr.. Hunt studied
law in New Orleans and attended lee
turs OF the civil la Eyers of that
state, which makes him familiar with
the code of practice prevailing in the
Latin countries.

Letter to c. II. SIOcum.
MOrrisviHe, Vt.

Dear. Sir: Ira Gould, painter in
Colebrook, N. h., bought of our
agent there, Wesley Wentworth, A
gallons of paint, and thinned it down
with two gallons of oil, and gave his
own house one coat.
Every painter in town declared he
had painted two coats.
"That's all the far the story goes"
as Uncle Remus says. We don't know
whether it made a good job or not I;
but the painter thought it did. We
should call 1t printing. Maybe the
house didn't need painting. A prim-
ing coat is enough if put on often
enough.
But if Ira Gould had set out to do US
O favor, he couldn't have done much
better. One printing coat of Devoe
is enough to make painters say, "He's
been painting two coats; and wants
us to think he has done it with one,
and that half oil No thank you"
We don't know Mr.. Gould but we
know Mr.. Wentworth. Guess the
story is straight.
Yours truly,
Ill F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Buffalo, Aug. S.-The Vermont day
exercises at the exposition to day
we're very successful. The exercises
we're held in the temple of music and
the program included addresses by
Director General Buchanan of the
Pan-American exposition, Mayor
Diehl of Buffalo, Gov. Stickney, U. S.
Senators Proctor and Dillingham;,
Congressman D. j. Foster and State
Senator Hill of Buffalo. J. Harry
Engels of Rutland was to have pre-
sided at the organ in the temple of
music for the occasion, but be was
detained at home by the death of his
mother. One of the bands now sta
toned at the exposition was detailed
for the occasion.
Gov. W. W. Stickney declared that
Vermont, to use Wall street express
sion, was "short on land but long on
men and women"
Senator William ?. Dillingham;,
who made the chief address of the
day, went into the subject more at
length and named countless mum Der
of Vermonters, by blood at least,
who had made themselves famous in
public life. The senator spoke in
clear ringing voice, and when he men,
toned Capt. Clark's record on the
Oregon, a storm of applause swept
through the hall. 1t was renewed
moment later when the speaker de-
clared that Dewey discovered Yer
mont as far as the United States
we're concerned.
Senator Dillingham; took for his
subject the characteristics which have
made Vermonters what they are. He
attributed their success in life partly
to their descent, which he said was
from the best and sturdiest blood in
England, partly to the life the early
settlers of the state were forced to
lead by the character of the country
and still more by the school house
and town meeting.
Senator Proctor, who preceded
the junior senator from Vermont,
was introduced by President Greene
of the Buffalo Vermont society as the
man the President sent to Cuba to
learn the condition of affai3 there.
He made a short address in his char
acteristically deliberate manner, In
which he declared himself proud of
the fact that so many of our people
we're content to stay on their farms.
The Governors party, which took
ride about the city on their way to
the Exposition, separated after the
exercises at the temple of music and
devoted themselves to seeing the
sights on the ground itself.
The New England building was the
rendezvous for the Vermonters dur
ing the afternoon.
Nearly all the Vermonters helped
make up the crowd which watched
the illumination of the building at
SIS and then gathered at the New
England building for the Governors
reception. Gov. and Mrs Stickney
received on the ground floor, guests
being presented by the staff. The
Buffalo society of Vermonters served
refreshments and a large party
thronged the different state buildings
on the second floor during the even
ing. This function wound up a most
successful day.
The board of women managers
gave reception to the women Of
the Vermont party Wednesday after
noon from 4 to 9 O'Clock in the
Women's building. Gov. and Mrs.
Stickney gave receptionto residents
and visiting Vermonters and friends

AN EARLY ADVENTURE OF ROBERT
LINCOLN.
From A Series of Personal RecOIIections Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, BY an Old NeighbOr Of His, in
Frank LesIie's Popular Monthly for

August.
"While my brother-in-law, Mr..
Boynton was in the hardw ware bust
ness in Springfield, Lincoln g son Rob-
ert, then a boy of ten or twelve, en-
tered the store one day with another
boy of his own age. The lads had
quantity of lead pipe which they
wished to sell. A bargain was made
and the money was paid over to the
boys, with no questions asked. Lat
er in the day, however, Mr.. Lincoln
was visited at his home by the owner
of a house which was undergoing re-
pairs, and informed that his son Rob-
ert had stolen aquantity of lead pipe
from the place, which the owner de-
sired either have paid for or returned.
"Mr. Lincoln was shocked. He
called Robert, and, without asking
any questions, took the boy by the
arm and marched him down to the
store. When they entered Mr.. Lin
coin was looking very stern.
Mr.. Boynton,' said he, did my
son Robert sell you some lead pipe
to-day?
"My brother-in-law was greatly
embarrassed. Everybody in Spring
field knew Abraham Lincoln. His
honesty and integrity were never
questioned and the idea that his son
would steal was highly improbable.
Mr.. Boynton had, however, been no.
titled in some manner that the pipe
was stolen property. Nevertheless
he did not want to implicate the son
of Abraham Lincoln, so he said: =
"Ahem !-er-well, Mr.. Lincoln,
let me see, No; l don't think it was
your boy who brou ght that pipe here.
He don't look like the boy
"There was a tin shop at the rear
of the store, and just as my brother
in-law was congratulating himself
that young Lincoln would get out of
the scrape, the sharp voice of the tin
smith exclaimed
"' Yes it's too. That's the chap
that Lincoln boy, and another one
about his size. remember 'em.'
Mr.. Lincoln drew out his pocket
book and laid a billupon the counter.
"' Please let me have that pipe,
Mr.. Boynton,' he said.
"The pipe was accordingly brought
out. Mr.. Lincoln placed it across
Roberts shoulders. The two then left
the store.
1T was an extremely hot day, and
Robert Lincoln was barefooted. The
store stood in sort of a square which
was paved with bricks. These bricks
had become heated by the sun, and
produced an uncomfortable feeling to
Roberts feet, as the father with long
strides led him across the square.
The boy danced along first on one
foot and then on the other. Suddenly,
he exclaimed
Say, pa, I can't stan these hot
bricks on my bare feet. Les get over
in the shade
"Lincoln senior looked down at
the boy with quizzcal smile, then
dryly said
GO Well, my son, you'd better get
used to the heat. II you ever steal
any more lead pipe you'll go to a
place that's hotter than these bricks
are"

The Canadians seem inclined to
favor the proposition to so amend
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, forbidding the
building and maintenance of war
ships on the Great Lakes, as to per-
nit their construction, providing
that the hulls be removed to the sea-
board before any arming is at
tempted. The Montreal Star calls
attention to the fact that Sin the
very near future, Canada is equally
likely to want the privilege of build
ing all kinds of vessels" This seems
to be the general opinion, so there
should be no difficulty from any
Canadian source in amending the
treaty. That England will assent,
however, is not so certain.
