A MYSTERIOUS CARD.


nofk TWatn's Odd Request and How
Mrs. Cleveland Received 1t.
When was leaving Hartford for
Washington upon one occasion my
wife said: IL have written q small
warning and put 1t In a pocket Of your
dress vest. When you are dressing to
go to the authors reception at the
White House you Will naturally put
your fingers In your vest pocket. &C
cording to your custom, apd you will

carefully and DO as IT tells you. I
cannot be With you, and 30 delegate
my sentry duties to this little note II
should give you the warning by
word Of mouth now 1t would pass from
pour head and be forgotten Ia few
minutes"
1t was President Cleveland's first
term. had never seen his wife, the
young. the beautiful, the good hearted.
the sympathetic, the fascinating.
Sure enough, just as had finished
dressing to go to the White House,
found that little note, which I had
long ago forgotten. 1t was grave
little note, serious little note, like
its writer, but 1t made me laugh.
Lvy's gentle GRANTEES often produced
that effect upon me where the expert
humorist's best joke would have fail
ed, for do not laugh easily.
When we reached the White House
and was shaking hands with the
president he started to say something.
but interrupted him and said
IF your excellency will excuse me
I will come back In moment, but now
have a very important matter to at
tand to, and it must be attended to at
once"
turned to Mrs. Cleveland, the
young, the beautiful, the fascinating.
and gave her my card, on the back Of
which 1 had written "He didn't" and
/ asked her to sign her name below
those words.
She said; "He didn't? He didn't

"Oh," said, never mind! We

Is urgent. Won't you please sign your

"Oh," I said. time is flying, flying

distress and Sign your name to i'll
It's all right. I give you my word it'f

She looked nonplused, but hesitat
ingly and mechanically she took the
pen and said:
II will sign it. I will take the risk
But you must tell me all about 1t right
afterward, so that you can be arrested
, before you get out Of the house in case
. there should be anything crimina
about this"
Then she signed, and handed bel
, Mrs. Clemens note, which was very
: brief, very simple and to the point. 1
said, Don't wear your arctics in th'
White House" 1t made her shout, ant
at my request she summoned a mes

product. Cover with two quarts cold
water and let stand over night. In
the morning bring to a boil, cook 40
minutes, then add five pounds sugar
well heated in the oven, and boil rap

Fig Pudding.-This pudding is a
great emergency dessert on an Ari-

bit of it, and it will keep indefinitely,
steaming up a little as needed.
Chop fine one pound figs, one pound
raisins and one cup suet. Add one

cup sweet milk, one-half teaspoonful
