WHITE HOUSE COURTESY.
The Way President Polk Throw Down
the Barriers.

II any president Of modern times
were to exhibit the official indecency
that John Adams exhibited when JEFF
ferson became president he would be
denounced by every reputable newspa-
per and intelligent citizen Of the land.
1t was then, as 1t is now, the accepted
duty of the retiring president to re-
ceive the incoming president Mt the
White House and accompany him to
the Inauguration ceremonies, but the
last official act Of Adams rs president
was the nomination Of a member of
whit were called midnight judges"
the night before the Inauguration of
Jefferson, and during the night he
and his family withdrew from the
White House, leaving none but the
servants to receive the incoming presi-
dent, writes Alexander X. Mcclure in
the Circle.
1t was President Polk who first had
tho courage to disregard the political
passions Of the times by inviting Hen
y Clay, who had been his competitor,
to dine with him and Mrs. Polk in the
White House. It was near the close
Of the PoIk administration. during
wnieA Clay bad been senator most
Il, 'ths time. and 1t shocked the Demo
cratic sentiment of the time when 1t
was announced that Clay had dined
with President Polk, not on state &C.
'easion, but had been welcomed at the
family dinner as friend. Clay was
the soul Of chivalry. and Polk was q
man of unblemished character and
high attainments, and his example Of
courtesy to Clay has never since been
broken.

NEEDED THE BRUSH.
The Finishing Touch to Eli Whitnsy's
Cotton Gin.

eli Whitney, who SO long vexed his
soul over his first and mlghtiest inven-
ton, the cotton gin. was aided In his
success by the quck wit and insight Of
q woman. In "Old Paths and Legends
of the New England Border" Miss
Katherine NJ. Abbott gives the story,
O. told by granddaughter Of General
Nathaniel Greene, of the consumma-
ton Of Whitney's experiment at the
beautiful and hospitable Dungeness,
on Cumberland Island. canopied with
live oaks and olive trees.
Mrs. Greene had become interested
In Mr., Whitney's enterprise and inyit-
ed him to spend the winter at Dunge-
ness, where an abundance Of cotton
and quiet were assured"
One morning he descended headlong
into the drawing room from his work
shop In the fifth story and excitedly
exclaimed. 1.-THE victory Is mine" In
deep sympathy guests and hostess went
with him to sec the model in motion
by which Whitney was to change the
industrial history of the world.
For few moments the miniature
81. vs. revoiyed without hindrance. and
the separation of the seed from the
cotton wool was successfully accom-
plished, but after little the saws
clogsed with lint. the wheel stopped.
and poor Whitney was in despair.
! Here's what you needp exclaimed
Mrs. Greene. She seized clothes
brush and held 1t firmly to the teeth
Of the saws.
Madam" said Whitney, overcome
with emotion and speaking with the
exaggeration Of gratitude. you have
perfected my invention"

April % is a memorable day In Eng
lish history To begin with, 1t is the
day dedicated to the patron saint Of
England, st. George. 1t was through
the crusaders that st. George was
thus selected. He was born In Cappa-
docio, aud later his bravery against
the Romans became military tradi-
ton; hence the regard for him on the
part of the English warriors who en-
ragged in the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported to have
been born and died. Later, in 1861,
Charles II. was crowned king on April
%. Lastly, Wordsworth died on this
momentous day.-London Standard.
