Why She Was Sorry She
Recovered Her Brooch

II was at the railroad station at Kansas
City that the chic young woman lost and
found her jewelry
The loss occurred as she alighted from
tho train in search of something to allay
that hungry feeling. II stingy corpora
ton had not left so much spaca between
the planks of the floor, her jewelry would
not have gone through, she would have
been spared some embarrassment and the
public would never have heard Of it.
The article lost was brooch--one that
mother gave her-and about seventeen Of
the eighteen karn.s had worn OF. She
peeked through the aperture in the plat
form without getting n glimpse of what
she sought. Then. trine distressed at the
loss, she was about to continue In search OF
first aid for the appetite.
One Of those obliging drImmers that
are always willing to turn over car, Jack
up al engine or tear down house to do
courtesy for one of the fair sex happened
along and inquired II she had lost some
thing.
"oh, just little brooch" she replied.

The Man Who Didn't Get
Even With Ben Butler

ITHACA, Oct. 2s.-Attorney Samuel D.
Halliday of this city related the other day
an incident recalled TO him by the candi-
dacy OF D-Cady Herrick.
During his first administration President
Cleveland appointed board Of arbitration
to decide the case Of Strong against the
District Of Columbia. The members of
the board were Judge Herrick, Attorney
n, Willet Phillips of Washington and Mr..
Halliday. The leading lawyer for Mr..
Strong was Gen. Benjamin F. Butler Mr..
Phillips, however, did not act, for this rea-
son:
After the capture OF New Orleans by
the Union army in the civil war, Cen Butler
was placed in command Of the city. During
his administration he thought it expedient
to arrest those who displayed most Often
sively their hatred Of the Union troops.
Among those whom he had imprisoned
was a woman who had melted her son to
spit upon Union soldier. This woman
cherished a deep hatr ed of Gen. Butler
because OF his treatment Of her and vowed
that she would get even with him. Each
year upon the anniversary OF her arrest
she wrote him a letter to show him that
she was still alive, implscable as ever in
her hatred OF him and that she still intended
to avenge herself upon him.
Naturally enough, such persistent ami
mostly caused Gen. Butler some concern
and he was not little perturbed when he
discovered that the Phillips on the board

Of arbitration was the son of the <sofhkn
who hated him. Remembering hershfeAM,
he applied at once to the Presidsf1t to!haRS
Mr.. Phillips removed from the board
The President refused TO remove INN "a
the ground that Mr.. PHILIPPE was .ootz-
petent young lawyer, full OF ability 'ahd
that he did not appear to be d dangerous
man. Neither Gen. Buffers protests nor
the influence Of his friends could fndiee
the President to ask Mr.. Phillips for: lbs
resignation. Inasmuch as the General and
the Chief Executive were political, opp6-
nents and were not the best of friends,
one may easily imagine that Mr.. Cleveland
might not be inclined to sympathlzsE with
Con. Butler in the matter. -.
Gen, Butler was much worried over IN
case. Imagine his delight when relief
came and that from the most unlocked
for sourcel Mr.. Phillips was, owing per-
haps to his Southern rearing, the soul az
honor and in letter to President cleveland
he expressed his regret at bSing unable 10
serve on the board because. he said, 10
would be unable to give an unbiased do
cision in any case In which Gen. Butler
was interested. 10. e @ti''
