HARDY WORKED PRESIDENTS.
LINCOLN AND MCKINLEY FORCED

izinE AguinaIdo-A Southern Man
for the Vice Presidency-story
About an Historic Picture.

Washington, May 3.-Abraham Lincoln
and William Mckinley have been pre-em-
inently the two most Woodworking Of all
the Presidents. This, of course, is owing
to the fact that each Of them had to
conduct war which required unremit-
ting attention. President Polk had, it
is true, the Mexican war, but 1t did not
require an hour a day of his time. There
was no Geographic communication be-
tween the War Department and headquar-
ters in the field. If there had been. Scott
and Taylor, and the others, would have
kept him up half the night, as did the
score or more generals of the Civil War
the great Martyr President. Mr.. Lin
coin, however, In having no cables to
bother him, was fortunate. This is why
the Spanish war made such heavy drafts
on President Mckinley. Before the con-
aict began and during It's progress, not
only the generals in the field, but the
ambassadors and other agents of the
United States all over the world used the
cables whenever they had the slightest
news of importance 20 communicate. on

The two most famous duelists who
never killed their men known to his
tory are the Chevalier de Saint Georges,
a mulattG who was reputed to be the
finest fencer in France, and in more
recent time NJ. Georges de Labruyere,
who constituted himself the champion
of Nine. Seberine, editress of the Girls
du Peuple, Both these champions of
the sword fought scores Of duels in
which severe wounds were given and
taken, but both were humane and chiv-
alrous and never took life, as their skill
would have enabled them to do.
In his duel with Lieutenant de Nell
vile NJ. Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
afterward pierced his opponents left
lung. Both had to be carried off the
field, but they ultimately recovered. In
this connection it may be noted that
the ridicule In which certain English
papers indulge in with regard to French
and italian dueling is generally quite
beside the point Every duelist takes
his life In his hand and can practically
kill his adversary when he chooses, but
If the stroke is not made according to
the laws of fence he Is certain to be
killed himself in doing it. This Is why
the drawing of blood is considered to
be a satisfaction for injured honor.

Disqualified For once

During warm gubernatOrial canvass
in Kentucky one Of the candidates
found himself In the mountain districts
long way from town, very tired and
hungry. He stopped at a little cabin
on the mountain side and, introducing
/ himself as a candidate for the govern
orship, asked for something to eat.
The woman gave him a much better
meal than he had expected and wound
up the repast with pie of the most
delicious flavor. The candidate quickly
cleared his plate and then said, with
his most engaging smile:
Madam, this is a most delicious pie,
but l declare that do not know what
fruit this is. Certainly nothing like 1t
you have the kindness to tell me what
1t isT
The woman looked at him for a full
minute, her establishment at last giving
way to supreme scorn.
"Where did you come fromT she
you're up for governor an don't know
huckleberriesI Pears to me you amt
6tten for Office Don't know huckleber-
RESP
1t was crisis in the candidates life,
and he fingered another hour, so the
story goes at all events, and made pro-
fuse explanations before he was salts
fed that his opponent would not get
the vote Of that cabin.

Among the wonders of the Yellowstone
National park none excites more interest
than what are known as 1.-THE paint pots,
or boiling mud springs. There are sew
eral groups of these springs In the parks,
one Of the largest of which occupies
space Of 300 yards in length by 70 in
width, in what is known as the valley OF
Alum creek, near the crater hills. sec
ond group Is near the wall of the grand
canyon of the Yellowstone, four miles be-
low Yellowstone lake and six miles from
the crater hills. This group occupies a
space three acres in extent, and it is said
the springs present a magnificent sight
when in the course of eruption.
The principal spring is called the Blue
Mud Pot and is 35 feet in diameter. 1t
is near the large sulphur spring and
when In tranquil state looks like lake
Rof blue mud. The contents of the spring
are more like muddy water than thick
mud, although at times the mud has
consistency of mortar. In some portions
of the spring various degrees of consis-
tency are found, ranging from the mud
dy water state to thickness of common
mortar.

they are Ia groups or are very close to-

connection between them, and they are
Of different colors. Various shades of
brown red, pink, blue, lavender and
gray are to be found, and when all of
them are spouting together the kaleido-

the resemblance to paint pots. In the
valley of the Alum creek, where the Blue
Mud Pot is found, tourists observe puffs
of mud rising from the surface for over
300 yards.
The second group of springs presents
every possible variation of color. There
are perhaps hundreds of the smaller
springs, all of them having the raised
edges, which are covered with the vari-
colored mud. This mud has tempera-
ture of over $50 degrees and seems to be
boiling at all times. The springs at this
point greatly resemble caldrons of paint
and are pink, lavender and pure white In
color
In these smaller springs there is gen
orally a circular pit about ten feet deep
completely covered on the outside with
the colored mud. This mud when dried
and burned whether with fire or by the
sun, makes the finest quality of plaster.
Biologists claim that after being proper
ly worked up it would make better NOR
tar or plaster than anything now used
for the purpose. When the white mud
is burned, it takes a form very much
like that of finished meerschaum and is
quite as pliable and lasting. The mud
