New Breach Of
Promise.

Recently there was tried in
Chicago q breach of promise suit
that awakened much interest in
legal circles. Counsel for the
plaintiff had begun to read what
was alleged to be the proposal of
marriage on the part of the de-
fendant. This SO called proposal
appeared ON "a telegraph blank.
Turning to the jury. counsel be-
gan with "My Darling Marie"
At this juncture counsel for the
defendant interrupted his coll
eague at the bar.
"May it please the Court, this
document, being partly printed
and partly written, cannot by the
rules of evidence, be. offered in
part by plaintiff. Everything on
the blank must be read"
Notwithstanding the protest of
counsel for the plaintiff that the
printed matter had no relevancy
with the case-the fact being
that the proposal was written on
a telegram blank by accident
the ruling of the Court was that
everything on the blank should
be read. Accordingly the re-
luctant counsel for plaintiff was
forced to read the following:
"There shall be no liability on
account of this message unless
the same shall be repeated and
then only on condition that the
claim shall be made within thirty
days in writing" Then after the
signature followed: "Yours de-
votedly, Harry" together with
this N. B: "Read carefully the
conditions at the top"
To the delight of counsel for
the defendant the jury gave him
q verdict.

climate of the capital did not agree
with Mrs Tyler. and in only short
time she died. and was buried
from the historic mansion.
To the sooiai scepter that should

tia Semple now become heiress.
Her success was intt4neous. She
had beauty. hospitality and tact as
invaluable aids and American.
statesmen and foreign diplomats
could not go far enough in phraee
of the ability of it's mistress
Mr. Semple remained at her
post till her father married second
time his wife being the lovely Miss
Julia Gardner of New York Then
she abdioaied and gave the place
to her stepmother.
After leaving the White House
Mrs. SempIes withdrew to her Vir,
| lginia home. there to take up social
duties which at that period were
scarcely lees exaoting and brilliant
than those of Washington.
Her husband WAS wealthy man.
with great estate and ample means
to manage it. He was proud of
the success his girl wife had made
in Washington and gave her every
aid to gratifying love for social
life in his own Virgins clrole.
This continued till the outbreak
of the OWL war
Mr.. Semple had no hesitancy as
to his duty in the crisis. He was
a Virginian, and reasoned that his
first duty was to the state rather
than the nation.
He resigned from the federal
navy to take place in the oonfeder
ate service. He fought with valor
all through the civil war and at the
close found himself ruined.
The former mistress of the White
House showed at this junction that
courage and devotion whioh is ever
the hallmark of true American
wife. Without bemoaning the
loss of her wealth she went to Bal
timore and there opened a school
for young ladies 1t proved suo
cess and she conducted it for many
years.
After Mr.. SempIe died his widow
recognized that she could not much
longer maintain the struggle
against advancing age. and she exc.
cuted promise made long ago to
her friend Mr.. Corooran, that when
the time came that she must give
up her work she would go to the
Louise Home to live.
She is happy and oontented
there and talks without bitterness
of the glories of the past. How
thoroughly she linked to them is
shown by the way she treasures
White House portraits of her
mother, herself and her three sis
ters all painted in the days when
Tylers were in their glcry.
She delights to tell of the GUS
toms of the forties, of how when
her father was elevated to the fret
place in the land he told his child
rem to observe the laws of sympli
oity and good breeding.
She recalls those famous annual
dinners to the cabinet. most stately
and ceremonious affairs. Her favo
rite drive is the one she used tc
take daily with ner father, along
Rock creek at the outskirts of t1e
city.
For Fifty years Mrs. Semple has
not been in the White House. her
lost visit there being during the
administration of Pierce.

THE TRAMP WINS.


A tramp who was very hungry
and thirsty, called at a wayside
inn and walked into a room
where there were several other
men. He asked it they would
like to see some of his conjuring
tricks, and they said, eyes," SO
he inquired for three pieces of
bread and cheese.
When these were brought he
said:
"Before I can proceed, 1 Imnst
have three hats"
Thehats were placed upon the
table, and under each he placed
q piece of bread and cheese. He
then ate two of the pieces of
breads and cheese and asked for
a glass, of beer. This being
brought to him, he drank it, and
then ate the last piece of bread
and cheese. He then inquired:
"Under which hat would you
like the bread to be placed?'
They pointed to one of three,
SO he picked up the hat, and,
placing it on his head, walked out.

In the dear old home they miss You,

When in distant paths you roam;
Don't forget to write letter
To the dear ones lett at home.
One can they're sad without you,
Though they smile and do their best;
Half lifes music ioated from them
When the birdlings left the nest
How they love to get letter
In your familiar hand
All the comfort it can give them
Only parents understand.
Do you know that since you've left her
In your mothers glossy hair
Threads of silver intert tsining
Tell of years of toll and care?
Just bit the line has deepened
On your fathers thoughtful brow,
Don't forget to write-write often,
For they miss You sadly now.s
When they sit around the fresde
And the shadows gather near,
Then they think of happy hours
When your presence brought them cheer
Come, sweet tender memories throngng,
When the stars shine in the blue,
And they breathe their hearts deep longing
In silent prayer for you.
Write letter to the dear ones
Who You their hopes have stayed;
They may seem trife childish
If your letter Is delayed
For they miss you from the freside,
Miss you more than words say,
Then write promptly, don't neglect it,
Write letter home day
