shay"
In 1862 the old coach was said to be
the handsomest eQuipage in Washing
ton. 1t transported through the
streets the reigning society queen OF
that time, the daughter of Salmon P.
Chase, or, as she is remembered, Mrs.
Kate Chase Sprague.
The vehicle is quaint and bulky and
sadly out Of date. But it bears many
traces of departed elegance. A well
worn f0otboard in it's rear was for the
liveried footmen in their bur and
green suits. They held on by two
thick strap handles.
The front box seat for the driver is
draped like that of a hearse of to-day.
The interior of the coach is lined with
heavy lilac satin, which is likewise
well preserved. The carriage has a
seating capacity for six people.
Chase, when secretary of the treas.
ury in 1861, rode in the coach back
and forth from his Office. Many dis
tinguished men of that time on &C.
casions rode with him. 1t is related
that no less a parsonage than Abra-
ham Lincoln, who had an aversion to
carriages, rode with Chase in the old
coach more than once.
1t has much the appearance of more
ancient colonial coaches, and has a
platform in the rear for trunks and
other luggage. The coat of arms of
Rhole Island was emblazoned on the
doors by order of Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague, in honor of her husbands
state. The design is still bright and
we'll preserved. The doors have inside
ivory handles, with silver handles on
the outside and also silver axle caps.
Mr. Yo;!ng's father got the coach in
exchange for a more modern vehicle
from Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague after
her divorce from Sprague, when she
had resumed the name of Chase.
The carriage is hung with steel
springs and bears other marks of the
ante-bellum days. It's value now is as
relic.

WHIPPING POST AND STOCKS.
Stood in the Raleigh Courthouse Land
Until End OF Civil War.

Up until the end of the war and q
little while after the whipping post
and stocks stood not far from the
northwest corner of the courthouse
and between that building and the
present post Office, and there the last
whipping took place, though as it be-
gan it was sought to be stopped by
federal officer. The sheriff was, how
ever, simply carrying out the mandate
of the old court of pleas and quarter
sessions.
In those days the stocks and tho
whipping post too were special attrac-
tons, notably to boys. The latter
were allowed to ridicule people who
sat in the stocks, which held their
hands and feet, but not to throw any,
thing at them.
OF course this deprived the boys of
some degree of pleasure, yet they
contrived to get good deal of fun
out of the thing anyway. 1t seems odd
now even to think of such scenes as
these must have been. Figure to your
self passing by the courthouse green
at Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing a
gentleman held by the ankles and
wrists by wooden bars, sitting there
in the sunshine for all the world to
look at
Those were the days of the brand

ners, or dogs, or cats, or automobiles.
All these are good enough in their
way, but not deserving of the all-ab-
sorbing attention of the human mind
In the opinion of Mrs. Kern. Her
hobby is children.
Mrs. Kern primarily is home wom-

most of her extra time to the children
of her home city who are sick and

There Is no one more prominent In

fresh air camps
Mrs. Kern is thoroughly practical in
her ideas. Women's clubs, she de-
clares, can do far more good by as
sisting charities like the children's
hospital and the playground movement
than by discussing the whyfores and
wherefores of Balzac. While she was

Colored Shoes.

1t is in the perfection of each little
detail that the success of the ensemble
depends, and footwear is undoubtedly
one of the most important items and is
a point especially to be considered in
river toilets. as when stepping in and
out OF boat the shoes come into spe-
clal prominence. Colored shoes of a
delicate champagne, blue or gray are
proving very strong rivals to the
brown ones so popular a short time
ago and are worn with the fashionable
white ribbed silk hose. White suede
shoes and buckles to match are also
much in evidence

The home life of Mrs Kern is ideal
The modest frame house at 1922 North
Meridian street has sheltered one Of
the happiest, chummiest families in
the city. There are three children in
the household, Miss Julia, a young
woman of striking appearance, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Kern's first wife, and two
sons, John Worth Kern, Jr., aged
eight, and William Cooper Kern, five
years old. The Kern boys are lust
kids of the old-fashioned sort. They
are husky, full of life and play, and
prefer going barefooted to dressing up
When W. J. Bryan was entertained
at the Kern home last February, Mrs.
Kern told the boys they we're going to
have strawberries, and that they must
not display bad manners by saying
anything about them. They must ap-
pear wholly unconcerned at the sight

the dessert came, Strawberries in

The Kern boys looked at their
mother in great establishment; then at
their father. They couldn't under
stand. Afterward one of them slipped
up to his mother and said:
my Bryan has awful bad manners.
He spoke about our having strawber-
ries in February. Papa didn't. Papa

Mr.. Kern is model father. He
