Peaches at Five Dollars Each.

Stories of the prudigality of the late
William G. Whitney, in his social en-
tertainments while in Washington,
continue to be told. The former Secre-
tary of the Navy read in the newspa-
per, one morning in January, that a
farmer up in New Jersey had a peach
tree growing under glass and laden
with choice fruit. Mr.. Whitney
thought it would be a nice surprise for
his guests if he could have a lot of fine
peaches brought on the table at his.
next cabinet dinner. AS he drove to
the Navy Department the next day he
stopped at the Connecticut grocer
who supplied his table wants, handed
him a $50 bill and told him to go to the
place in New Jersey and buy some of
the peaches. The $50 was to cover the
e. expenses of the trip. The grocer located
the farmer and closed a bargain for
twelve dozen of the peaches at "a a
dozen. He reported his success to Mr..
Whitney. They were more expensive
than | thought they would be, he ex-
planned to the Secretary. REALLY, l
hate to tell you how much those peaches
cost" "Oh, that's all right" returned
the generous New Yorker, "how much
were they2" -Four dollars apiece"
said the grocer, without turning a hair.
"Here's the check, with a little some
thing extra for your trouble said Mr..
Whitney. The cost of the fruit was a
little more than So apiece. Grover

Chief Justice Beasley's Pass.

Discussions in Trenton, n. j., on the
refusal of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to issue the regulation pass
to Assemblyman McGlennOn, of Hud-
son County, have been livened by a
lot of good stories about passes. The
best is that told of the late Chief JUS
tice Mercer Beasley, who, besides being
a great jurist, was also, even in his old
age, a great hunter. Returning in
hunters garb from a game chase on a
South Jersey train II evening, he ham
ded up to the conductor his railroad
pass
The conductor studied the name,
"Mercer Beasley, Chief j Justice Supreme
Court" then glanced at the rude garb
of the man who had handed it to him
the rusty corduroy jacket, the pants
tucked into the rawhide boot tops, the
SLOUGH hat over struggling white hairs.
"Ahv' he said, as he returned the
pasteboard, with an amused smile,
"that won't work, old man! Fare,
please!'
The Chief Justice rose aud pushed
back his SLOUGH hat from over his classic
features.
"How dare you impugn the word OF
the court, sir?" he demanded with mag
isterial dignity. "Do you wish to be
committed for contempt?"
The conductor passed on.-New York

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

cThe following is a composition writ
ten by Pauline VanHorn and read at
the Wildwood public school on Friday
afternoon, February 18th, 1904. Next
week a composition on the same sub
ject written by Alta Ryan will be
published:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Abraham Lincoln was born in Ken
lucky Feb. IL, 1909.
His father was unable to read or write
and his own education consisted lonly
of one years schooling.
zHis father, hoping to better his for
tune, moved to Indiana, the family
floating down the Ohio river ON a raft.
When nineteen years of age Abraham
Lincoln, who was every where known
as "Honest Abe" hired out at SO a
month as a hand on a fiat boat which
made a trip to New Orleans. On his
return he accompanied the family to
Illinois, driving the cattle on his jour
ney. Having reached their destination
he helped them to build a cabin and to
split some rails to inclose the farm.
He was in succession a iatboat hand,
clerk, captain of a company of volun-
teers in the Black Hawk War, country
store keeper, postmaster, and surveyor,
yet he managed to get a knowledge of
law by borrowing books at an office
before it closed at night and returning
them at its opening in the morning.
He greatly enjoyed the works of Burns,
Shakespeare, Byron and Poe.
He was a tall ungainly man, little
versed in the refinements of society
but gifted by nature with great common
sense. He was kind, earnest, SYM
pathetic, faithful and democratic. He
Was anxious only to serve his country.
At twenty-five years of age he was
sent to the Legislature and was thrice
re elected. In 1858 he was candidate
for senator, a second time against
Stephen A. Douglass. After his ac-
cession to the Presidency his history,
like Washington's, was identified with
that of his country.
In the midst of the rejoicing over
the advent of peace, on the evening of
April 14th the intelligence was flashed
over the country that Lincoln had
been assassinated while seated with
his wife and friends in his box at
Ford's theatre, Washington, ID. G.
He was shot by John Wilkes Booth.
The stricken President was carried to
a private house nearby, where around
him gathered the most prominent men
of the nation, who mourned and
watched, waiting in vain for some
sign of recognition, until the next
morning when he died, April Is, 1865,
age So years.

If the appalling consequences OF a

what are the chances in any one of a

1t is small compensation for such
an awful loss of life to begin an in

view to making them safe or closing
them up, but it is perhaps better than
nothing. The startling discovery has
already been made that but one of

all but this one have been summary
