Thomas Jefferson, when he left co.,

and French scholars in his native state
of Virginia. AT his majority he came
into an income of $4,000 year, which
in those days, 1857, was as good as

six feet two in his stockings (they
didn't wear socks in those days., and
an all-round athlete, a dandy dancer
and an expert violinist.
AS Washington's secretary of state
he advocated state sovereignty and de-
Capitalization. Alexander Hamilton,
Washingtons secretary of the treas
ury, was just as stiff for Capitalization.
Washington took the middle course
between the two great rivals.
Jefferson, as president. eschewed all
pomp and ceremony. On his two in
auguration days, instead of driving 10
the capitol in coach and six as mad

horseback, without guard or even a
servant in his train, dismounted with-
out assistance, and hitched the bride
of his horse to a fence. He could be

Primitive Incubators Used When Glib

Some months after the siege OF Glib
raltar began Admiral Rodney reached
the rock with twenty-one ships of the
line and brought in vast quantities
of supplies. In April, 1881, about a
year after Rodney's visit, Admiral
Darby, with the British grand fleet,
also anchored at Gibraltar and
brought in supplies. On one occasion
a vessel from Naples was driven to
the rock with 5000 bushels of barley,
which the garrison found of unspeak-
able value. Then, too, while the bonn
bardment destroyed most OF the
houses. the English found it possible

and garden supplies.
They even raised chickens. follow

Barbe and Zeney-the latter, by the
way, never falling to show her jeal-
ousy of the French woman's closer
relations with Mademoiselle Rose
was that young lady lying, a tumbled
mass of pale blue draperies, upon a
large, old-fashioned dvan. Her head
and face were buried in the pillows,
and she was sobbing convusively.
1t was thus that Zeney found her,
and the old negress pausing on the
door sill, exclaimed shrilly. "La-la-la.
What is this? Precious bird, tell Ze-
ney who it is that has brought tears
to the light of her eyes"
She spoke in the French patois of
her fellows, but with better accent
and choice of words.
The sobs ceased, but the face buried
itself still deeper in the pillows, and
a little hand waved her off impa-
tiently.

received letter the other day
that put me over the ropes.
I'll paste it up here just to show
you that it's on the level:

Dear John; | have never met you

really seem to be one OF the family.

fierce)
Dear John, will you please pardon

Dear John, If you look around you

listen attentively you may hear the
hoarse cry of the summer resort

no traveller returns without getting his
pocketbook dislocated
Dear John, could you please tell me
how to play bridge whist, so that when

Dear John, | am sure that il I
could play bridge whist loud enough
to win four dollars every once in
awhile I could spend large bunch
of the summer at the seashore.
Dear John, would you tell low
ing but perfect stranger how to play
tho without houfnn 20 n
mask?
Dear John, l played a couple of
games recently with wide-faced young
man who grew very playful and threw
the parlor furniture at me because

did wrong. The fifth time l trumped
his ace the young man arose, put on
his gum shoes, and skeedaddled out of
the house. Is 1t not considered a breach
of etiquette to put on gum shoes in the
presence of lady?
IF you please, dear John, tell me how
to play bridge whist.
Yours fondly,
GLADYS JONES.

was not his property to dispose of.
