Presidential Mnemonics.

George Washington, the first among his mates,
Freslded over these United States.
John Adams next attained this lofty fame
And after him great Thomas Jefferson came
succeeding him James Madison arose.
And James Monroe with few if any foes.
John Quincy Adams next controlled the reins
And then old Andrew Jackson showed his brains.
After eight years, Van Buren took his place;
Then Harrison, who lived but briss space.
John Tyler filled the unexpired time.
And then came James X Polk, Just in his prime
Zach Taylor next proceeded to the fore,
But In some sixteen months his life Ger.
His term unfinished Mlard Fillmore served.
Then Franklin Pierce, who neer from duty swerved.
Buchanan next responded to the call,
And then came Lincoln. noblest of them all;
All nations view from far his grand behavior,
And, dying, he called the country savior
To take his place A. Johnson was bound,
Who oft was wont to "swing the circle round"
Ulysses Grant next came upon the field,
And after eight long years loath to yeld
But, having had his share of worthy praise,
At last he gave his place to r. B. Hayes
Brave Garfield then the assassins bullet slew;
He rivaled Lincoln a martyr true.
"Chet" Arthur now, of gentlemanly men,
And Grover Cleveland statesman clean.
Ben Harrison his grandpa's hat then wore,
And Cleveland did grand work for four years more
Then came Mckinley, from the Buckeye State

THE POLITE PEONs.
And the Engineer Who Knew Little
Spanish Tried to Boss Them.

Spanish Tried to Boss Them.
An engineer who came up a while
ago from Mexico told story about
a man in his line who had a rather
limited knowledge of Spanish but
fancied that by combining what he
knew and some English he could
make the poems employed on the rail-
way understand.
In his vocabulary were these
words: Para, stop; ustedes hombres,
you men; piedras, stones, and via,
road. One day this engineer was
walking up the track and saw lot
of poems standing around doing moth
ing. So he stopped and said:
"Ustedes honbres, why are you
standing around idle? Take those
piedras and throw them into the mid
die of the via."
The always polite Mexicans smiled
and said Isl, senor," and the engi-
neer marched away. Then they de-
bated what he meant and decided he
wanted the stones thrown on the 9TH
er side of the track. They started to
do that and back came the engineer.
Para, ustedes hombres, para!
Didn't ustedes hombres hear what I
said? Didn't l tell ustedes hombres
to take those piedras and throw
them in the middle of the via? And
why don't you do what I said?"
And he marched away, as the poems
said suavely, "Si, senor."
They had another consultation and
decided that what he wanted was to
have the piedras thrown clear across
the track in the other direction. So
they began again, tossing the stones
back again. The engineer came rush.
ing back, shouting:
Para, para! What is the matter
with ustedes hombres? Do ustedes
hombres take me for fool?"
He paused, and believing that he
had come to the end of his speech
the poems bowed gravely and said:
Isl, senior. New York Sun.

The Lost Leisure,

Leisure is gone-gone where the
spinning wheels are gone, and the
pack horses and the slow wagons,
and the peddlers who brought bar
gains to the door on sunny after
Moons. Ingenious philosophers tell
you, perhaps, that the great work Of
the steam engine is to create leisure
for mankind. Do not believe them;
1t only creates vacuum for eager
thought to rush In. Even idleness Is
eager now-eager for amusement;
prone to excursion trains, are mu-
seums, periodical literature and ex-
citing novels.-George Eliot.

of very long trial wished to know

begin his business training.
He had rather dreaded that BEGIN

strict, and his son knew that 1t meant
starting at the bottom.
1t was rather good fun to be sent
after Hiram PettiS. Dick had never
met the eccentric old millionaire, for
he had mixed little with society while
IN training. and. on the other hand,
Pettis was breaking into society ON his
daughters account.
Dick had heard many odd tales of
the old man. and he thought it would
be more or less Of a lark to camp on his
trail for awhile
He was even better content after his

collection would not be made quickly
for on that occasion he met Eleanor
Pettis. She was indeed good to look
