Not long ago there was a question about precedence" at the white house in relation to going in to din- ner between the president and the speaker of the house, which was set-' tied. This recalls the story of g. western congressman, whose wife was very rich but thought very lit- tie on such subjects. She was in Washington for a good time, and re-. solved to have it without bother. This fearless woman gave a dinner1 party on one occasion, and when il. was time to get her guests from

TALENTED HELEN HAY.
Elder Daughter of Our Secretary of State Will soon Publish a New
 Volume of Verse.

Literary critics of Washington say that John Hays daughter will be- come one of the successful poets of America. It is about three years ago that Miss Helen Hay published her first efforts in verses, and, inde- pendent of the fact that the writer was daughter of the secretary of state, the book commanded immedi- ate attention. Miss Hay called that initial effort Some Verses" and she has since revised it for three edi- tions. Last autumn she published dainty little collection of child rhymes; .sThe Little Boy Bool1,' and this also was favorably received
 For the last year Miss Hay has been diligently working on the most ambitious work she has yet at tempted, and in few weeks this will be given to the public. It is en- titled: ''The Rose of Dawn and is love story of the south seas told in blank verse. Throughout the book there are snatches of lyric poetry, love songs and ballads of the peo- pie, and in these Miss Hays peculiar talent is wildly displayed. That emi- nent writer of the south seas and well-known literary critic, Charles Warren Stoddard, is enthusiastic over 1.-The Rose of Dawn,' and predicts brilliant future for Miss Hay as a writer of lyric verse.
 This talented young woman is one of the popular belles of the capital. She is feted and admired from the beginning to the end of the sea- son, and few social events may be called, successful when not graced by her presence, yet she finds time. to write some of the most exquisite verse ever published. She takes a few hours in the morning, and just before dressing for dinner is a fa-. vorite time for her muse. She jots down then the thoughts that come during the hours of gayety, and later they are woven in dainty numbers. Miss Hays verse, like that of most young writers, is inclined to sadness the poetry of tears. In love songs. and sonnets she is particularly adept. She naively says that she does not write from experience, since she has never felt the darts of the little rosy

CHAPTER XVII.

Richard Somers did not need his pass that morning, nor have to ex- plain why he, if paroled prisoner, was wearing the uniform of a confed- crate officer. That uniform was his salvation in his wild ride upon the crowded road, for aides and couriers were rushing to and fro and no one questioned him. Day was breaking as he neared the front, and the tu- mutt of a great battle surrounded him. He passed cavalry, moving in fantry and artillery, and was soon swallowed up in the confusion. He had no knowledge of the topography of the country; there was no chance to use a pass in that mass of con- fused men-he could on4y move for ward with the host. An officer, rein ing up violently by his side, gave him an order to carry to a struggling line that, half enveloped in it's own smoke, reeled back in front of a wooded slope
 on which some guns were being ham dled desperately, and on that slight
 eminence as he approached in mad gallop he saw at intervals the familiar stars and strines. He passed. the con

He met with reverses during the panic of 1873, and in 1879 re- moved to Fort Benton, Mont, where he engaged in sheep raising. He was among the first in that region to take up the industry, and has continued the business with profit. In 1882 he. visited the falls of the Missouri river. and on examining the resources of the surrounding country, was inn pressed with the advantages of tho place for city, because of it's unlim- tied water power, it's deposits of coal, and extent of agricultural and graz ing lands.

Burying his heels in the Hanks of the terrified animal he bestrode, he headed straight for the battery. He swung back in the saddle as though endeav- bring to stop 8 runaway horse. A little thicllet screened him for one instant, and emerging beyond that, he lifted his handksrchief in the air, waved it and with the speed of the wind swept on into the lines of blue.

The picture lives today only in the memory of soldier, who, standing before it moment under the bursting shells of that June morning, covered his eyes and mur- mured a prayer.
 To this same place in the after years came one day in June a man and woman who tenderly laid How CTS upon a grave beneath the one cedar which had escaped the battles wrath. A slender shaft of marble stood above the grave, and upon it was carved the name of the dead woman who slept beneath. By the grave rose-vine was growing. It's upward branches clung to the tree and let fall long streamers of white blossoms, peace banners, in the breeze.
