A Presidents DAUGHTER.

When President Grants only daugh-
ter, Nellie, afterward Mrs. Sartoris.
was a miss of twelve years, she at
tended private school in Washington.
One afternoon, says the author of The
Olivia Letters" Nellie'S lessons were
not learned. The carriage came for
her, but the teacher dismissed it with
the request that it should return at
the end of half hour. The half hour
came and glided away with the lesson
still unlearned. The carriage came
again and was dismissed. At the end
Of the second half hour the lesson was
committed, and Miss Nellie was per-
mitted to go. The next day at the
usual hour the young lady arrived, ac-
companied by her mother. The teach
err began to fear she had lost her most
cherished pupil, but Mrs. Grant came
to thank her for performing her duty.
''Teach her." said Mrs. Grant, that
she is only plain, simple Nellie Grant.

all the scholars. This course will have

Reached the Limit.

A Providence girl, who has been
married about six months, had we'd
ding cards a short time ago from an
old school friend who had given her Il
wedding present, which, of course, de-
manded one in return. Among her
wedding presents the Providence girl
had duplicates III the shape of two sill
YER card trays, and in spirit of econ
Omy she decided TO give one of these
to her friend. 1t was marked with her
own initials, but it would be only a
matter of a few minutes to have them
removed and the proper monogram cut.
She took it to the jeweler and explain
ed what was to be done. He picked up
the tray, looked at it closely and
smiled
Madam said he, ut will be i'm
possible. I have already changed the
initials on this same tray five times,
and it has worn so thin that I cannot
do it again without cutting through the
bottom. '-Providence Journal.

Had a Slow but Sure Gait.

There have been numerous disap-
pointments in the outcome of some of
the boys. We remember one boy in
particular who was the butt of all ridi-
cule from the boys of his age, and he
took it good naturally. He seemed to
have no particular friends and herded
by himself. His clothes always looked
funny, and he had that awkward swag-
ger over which the rest Of us had
much sport. No one ever thought that
that plug would ever get anywhere or
have anything. But today that plug
is drawing a better salary than any
two of the old gang. He has more
money, more influence and more
friends than any of the rest Of US, The
plug had a gait that was slow, but it
was sure. He didn't appear to be a BIT
bright then, but he had a surface that
took on a p2lish.< ExsAEzD Assel

Our Pyumy Ancestors.

The armOr of the knights of the mid

Hamilton Smith records
that two Englishmen of average di-
mansions found no suit large enough
TO fit either of them in the great col
lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. The
head of the oriental saber will not adj
nit the English hand nor the bracelet
of the Kaffir warrior the English arm.
The swords found in Roman tumuli
have handles inconveniently small, and
the great medieval two handed sword
is now supposed to have been used
only for one or two blows at the first
onset and then exchanged for a small
er one. The statements made by HO-
mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent
six feet as high standard for full
grown men, and the irrefutable evil
dence of the ancient doorways, bed
steads and tombs proves the average
size of the race certainly not to have

His Fears Realized.

For years the old country couple had
looked forward to spending a holiday
in London, and one day they found
themselves in the very busiest part Of
the city. Together they stood watch
ing the traffic, to which there seemed
no end. They did not know how to
cross the street.
Whatever you DO, Liza, don't git
separated from me- said the old man
to his wife, land. whatever you do,
don't cross the road without me-"
Then a kindly constable came along
and, seeing the old woman hesitating,
took her by the arm and commenced to
pilot her to the opposite side.
Dang my buttons" cried out the
old man in alarm, Il allus told 'er that
some one wud take fancy to 'er, but
1 didn't think any one 'ud ave the i'm
perance to take 'er afore my very
eyes!'-London Tit-Bits.

Hookina the Wary Trout.

Trout when hungry usually face the
current. This fact should be remem-
bered when approaching bridge or
eddy where the ''speckled beauties love
to hide" If possible, such spots should
be approached upstream. 1t may take
a little more time to go around and
come back up, but make haste slow
ly' is said to be the first axiom of
trout fishing. AS the stream becomes
warmer, the trout seek the cool pools
and shaded places. They are to be
found where cold spring bubbles up
into the stream or where q mountain
creek enters. Often q number frequent
the same haunt. Each additional fish
means two more eyes to watch for the
fisherman. One trout is all that is nee
esSary to give a danger signal by
darting away. The Test Immediately
follow suit To catch more than one,
or even that, in such q place takes
skill in the use of the line. But who
has said that trout fishing is not an
art?-Circle Magazine

Great Musicians Eccentricities.

Dolls were the idols, after his be-
loved instruments, of Domenico ORA
gOnetti, the king of the double bass.
He had huge collection of these pup
pets dressed in various national cos
tunes, and wherever DragOnetti went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius pecul-
iarities. He would never play unless
his dog were in the orchestra, and no
body would have got q note out Of
him unless he had been permitted to
sit in the orchestra next to the stage
door. This was precaution to enable
him to save his wonderful instrument
in case of fire. The instrument itself
he brought from the monastery of st.
PietrO when on visit to Vincenza. and
when he died he bequeathed it to St
Marks, Venice, to be used at solemn
Services.-LOndOn Standard.

She herself was Mrs. I4ys, who was
trying to trace an ancestor of her late
husband, who was a descendant of

Cochineal, so much used for coloring

as q domestic remedy for whoOping

called coccus, but only the females are

captured by suffocating them with the

GO TO FINANCE COMMITTEE
Resolutions Of Inquiry Relating to
Treasury Department,


Washington Dec. Senator Cul-
berson's resolution providing for an
inquiry by the senate committee on
finance into the recent issue Of bonds
by the government was considered by
the senate and was sent to the finance
committee upon statement by Mr..
Aldrich that that committee would
meet in a few days and report reso.
luton covering the entire subject.
Senator Clay's resolution calling for
information concerning the deposit of
money in national banks also was laid
before the senate. Mr.. Clay said that
up to the present time s250,000,O0
had been deposited by the govern
ment in national banks and most of
it had been on deposit during the
present year.
II do not believe he said, .'that
we can justify the placing of such
money in banks and then calling for
more money by the issue Of bonds.
That system should be investigated
and condemned

resolution go to the committee on
