corded to Hin.
The Hon. Addison G. Harris Of In
dianapolis, ex-Minister to Austria, re-
lated an interesting experience from
the campaign of 1900 few evenings
ago at the New Willard. He had been
invited to address a political meeting
one afternoon at Fort Wayne. Alight-
Ing from the train he found himself in
the center of galaxy of cxpectant
young men and women, wearing
badges marked Reception Commit
tee. Approaching the supposed COM
pliment, he advanced, extending his
hand, and was greeted enthusiastic
ally and invited to go right along to
the church" He looked confused,
and said he was not aware that he
was to go to any church.

Harris, recalling his diplomatic post,

Piled Mr.. Harris. II was under the

WHEN MAMMA BAl<Es.
BY GEORGE FREDERICK.

Whenever Bridget goes away,
And mamma does the baking,
/ go into the kitchen, then,
To see what she is making.
II it is cake, she takes lot
OF sugar, spice and flour,
And stirs it round, and round, and round,
And bakes it most an hour.
think, perhaps, some other things
She puts into the batter,
But what they are | do not know
1t really doesn't matter.
If it is pie she makes crust,
And kind of sort of doubles
1t round some berries, full of juice,
That oozes out in bubbles.
She cuts out leaves and animals
From dough that's thin and yellow.
And sometimes makes cooky man,
A funny looking fellow.
With face so round and eurrant eyes,
With body round. but bigger.
With puffy legs and puffy arms,
The queerest little figure:
And then. whatever dough is left,
When she is through with making,
She gives to me if am good
When mamma does the baking.

Charles Kruger's proposal in mid-air
is, perhaps, unique. He was trapeze

the lady accepted, and they finished

PATHOS in CAREERS OF
HORACE GREELEY AND FATHER

Are we so soon forgot when we
are gone? The Tribune on Saturday
gave prominence to telegram from
Cory, Pa, which ran thus: Fire
early to-day destroyed the old Horace
Greeley homestead, six miles from
here. In this house Mr.. Greeley
spent the early years of his life" All
the years of Horace Greeley's life up
to the twentieth were spent in New
Hampshire and Vermont. After he
had taken to the road as a Jour"
printer he visited his father, who had
removed to the place near Cory, Pa,
and worked on the farm there, little,
in the intervals of his typographical
tasks. Not only was the place in no
sense Greeley's early home, but he
never really lived there. 1t was so
little associated with his name that
his friends and admirers, who knew
his Yankee beginnings well, never
connected him with it at all.
1t was, however, long the home of
that sturdy but unsuccessful and pa
thetic laborer and citizen, Zaccheus
Greeley, his father. If there ever
was a man hopelessly of the can't
get-along class, it was this unfortun-
ate descendant of the New Hamp-
shire Scotch-Irishman. Industrious
and willing, but failure in every
thing he undertook, Zaccheus was
bounded for debt from place to place

not been for his innate virtue and
paSience. OF course, the worst of
his troubles ended when his son Ho-
race came to mans estate; although
the boy. with one unsuccessful news
paper venture following another, long
promised to duplicate his fathers
career. Naturally, Horace managed
to ease his fathers declining years.
He was ever a dutiful son.
Perhaps his own career instanced,
as much as his fathers, the helpless
ness of that thistleblow, man, before
the winds of fate In some ways bril-
liantly successful. in other and inn
portant ways dismally unsuccessful,
possessing characteristics and abili-
ties that made him feared as well as
loved, rising almost to the pinnacle
of earthly honor for an American,
Greeley felt himself at last scorned
by his countrymen, and died of a
broken heart.
In Horace Greeley there was a good
deal of his badly buffeted father after

In due course, however, he buried

allowed but a week to elapse, again

LOVER BECAME VICTIM OF
HIS OWN SUCCESSFUL TRICK

A Boston man came across the fol-
lowing incident in the life of the late
Gen. Butler the other day, and it
seems such an example of the truth
of that old saying, The boy is father
Of the man, that it is worth repeat
ing.
In his youth, SO the story goes, Ben,
with two other unfortunates, sought
the hand of a maiden in northern
Maine
The race was very even, and for
a long time the issue was in doubt.
But one day the maiden told the
three rivals that, if they would all
come on certain evening, she would
give them her answer.
The future lawyer, fearing that he
did not stand so nigh in the maiden's
graees as the others, saw a chance
for the exercise of his wit, Strategy
alone would win the day.
On one side of river lived the
damsel, and about opposite on the
other side boarded the anxious low
ers.
The river was bridged at but one
point, and that was in the center of
the village, nearly mile from these
houses. But some workmen had fell
ed a log and thrown it across the
stream, and on this Bridge of Signs
the lovers were wont to wend their
way.
Ben started a little early on the
Hateful evening, and took with him a
pail of soft soap. Crossing the log
backward. he carefully creased it be
hind him. and then triumphantly en-
tered the fair ones abode.
Hardly had the conversation be-
