friends, the kings, but that dad could
tell any of them that he met that he
was an American citizen, and that
would take him anywhere in Europe,
and then he got up and began TO show
his teeth at dad again, and dad gave
him the grand hailing sign of distress
Of the Grand Army and backed out,
dropped his hat, and in trying to pick
it up, he stepped on it, but that made
ii look better, anyway, and we found
ourselves outside the room, and a lot
of common people from the country
were ready to go in and talk politics
and cat shooting.
Well. we looked at pictures, ard saw
20 diplomats at a time on mud turtle
and champagne, and a boy about my
size looked sort of disdainful at me,
and | told him if he would come out
side | would mash his jaw, and he said
| could try it right there if was in
a hurry to go, and | was starting to
give him a swift punch when a detec-
tive took hold of my arm and said
they couldn't have any scrap there,
cause the presidents son could not
fight with common boys, and | asked
him who he called a common boy, and
then cad said we better 30 before war
broke out in q country that was lily
prepared for hostilities on a large
scale, and then | told a detective that
dad vas liable to have one of mis- spells
and begin shooting any minute, and
then the detectives all thought dad
was one of these president assassina-
tioni5ts, and they took him into a
and searched him, and asked
him a whole lot of fool questions, and
they finally let us out, and told us we
better skip the town before night. Dad
got kind of heavy-hearted over that
and took a notion he would like to see
ma again before crossing the briny
deep, so you will have the joy Of seeing
your little angel again soon. This
weakness of dads made me hot, for I'm
looking for a warm time in New York
and OLD Lunnon, but dad was obsti-

We'll, this morning dad shaved him

Well, this morning dad shaved HIM
self, and got on his frock coat, and his
silk lat, and said we would 90 over
to the white house and have a talk
with Teddy, but first he wanted TO go
and see where Jefferson hitehed his
horse to the fence when he came to
Washington to be innOgerated, and
where Jackson smoked MS corn cob
pipe, and swore and stormed arounJ
when he was mad, and to walk on the
same paths where Zachariah Taylor
lacked, Buchanan catched it, and Lin
coin put down the rebellion, and So We
walked over toward the white house, and
was s|candalized. | stopped to pick IN
a stone to throw at a dog inside the
fence. and when | walked along be-
hind dad, and got a real view of his
silk hat, it seemed as though / would
sink through the asphalt pavement,
for he had on an old silk hat that he
wore before the war. the darnedest
looking hat ! ever saw, the brim
curled like a minstrel show hat, the
fur rubbed off in some places, and he
looked like one of these actors that
you see pictures of walking on the
railroad track, when the show busts
up at the last town. | think a mar
ought TO dress 50 his young son won't
have a fit. | tried to get dad to 20
and buy a new hat, but he said he was
going to wait till he got to London
and buy one just like King Edward
wears, but he will never get to London
with that hat, cause tonight | will
throw It out of the hotel window and
put a piece of stove pipe in his hat
box.
Well, sir, you wouldn't believe it, but
we got INTO the white house without
being pulled, but it was a close shave,
cause everybody looked at dad, and
put their foreilngers to their fore
heads, for they thought he was either
a crank, or an ambassador from some
furrin country. The detectives got
around dad when we got into the ante
room, and began to feel of his pockets
10 see ii he had a gun, and n Of
them asked me what the old fellow
wanted, and ! told them he WIS the
greatest bob cat shooter in the west,
and was on his way to Europe to in
vite the emperors and things TO come
over to this country and shoot cats on
mis- preserve. Well, say, you ought to
have seen how they stepped one side
and waltzed around, and one Of them
went in the next room and told the
president dad was there, and before
we knew it we were in the presidents
room, and the president began to curl
~ his lip. and show his teeth like
some one had said rats" He got, hold
of dads hand, and dad backed off as
though he was afraid of being bitten,
and then they sat down and talked
about mountain lion and cat shooting,
and dad said he had a % rifle that he
could pick a cat off the back fence with
every time, out of his bedroom win
dow, and | began to look around at the
pictures. Dad and the president talked
about all kinds of shooting, from mud
hens TO moose, and then dad told the
president he was going abroad on ac-
count of his liver, and wanted a letter
of introduction to some of the kings
and emperOrs, and queens, and jacks,
and all the face cards, and the preet-
dent said he made it a p%ractic' nut "

about the fun We had getting here.
We were on the ocean wave two days,
because the whole country was flooded
from the rains, and dad walked the
quarter deck Of the Pullman car, and
hitched up his pants, and looked
across the sea on each side Of the
train with a field glass, looking for
whales and PROPOSES. He seems to
be impressed with the idea that this
trip abroad is one of great significance
to the country, and that he is to be
a sort Of minister plenipotentiary,
whatever that is, and that our cOun-
try is going to be judged by the rest Of
the world by the position he takes on
