peep. Both girls climbed back over
the hay, and there way down in a
corner, was Bessie, and peeping
out from under her brown feathers
were two little bright eyes.
Bessie got up clucking proudly

There were five of the cutest little

How Amys papa laughed when

 ing tour from the Atlantic to the
 Pacific and back from the Gulf to the Potomac, the president had been served with every imaginable culinary delicacy The cooks of every state
 through which he has passed during the summer and autumn fairly outdid all previous efforts in their desire to tickle the palate and incidentally to ruin the digestion of the chief magis- trate. The menus which they pre- pared are wonderful examples of what interruptions chefs can do if given a free hand, but it remained for Chair man Billy Anderson, of the Norfolk entertainment committee. and Caterer O'Keefe of that hospitable city by the sea. to spread before the president the dishes which he most appreciated.
 When the president attends a din ner" of the Gridiron club or a ban quet" given by some enthusiastic board of trade in his especial honor. it is noticed that he eats very sparingly or the delicacies placed before him. But not even the watchfuf eye of Captain Archie Butt could prevent the presi- dent from going the limit at that Norfolk feast With the old Atlantic ocean at his back and nearly two thou sand hungry fellow citizens all around him. the president that Friday afternoon started in with couple of dozen of the finest Lynn Haven Bays that were ever 'tonged" from the waters of Virginia. They needed no condiments to add zest to their flavor and they were not ruined by salt, vim egar or casup. and then, while the old time darky cooks were preparing the roast half dozen Virginia gentle men, brushing aside the regular wait CTS. hastened to the presidential table with mounds of Smithfield ham.

 There is a popular superstition ex- tant to the effect that Captai,.

 The late Amos Cummings, that Pi thNC Vi bV'0 Itlf'Ns. 0-tN tp soy that about nine dozen blue points" made a fairly good foundation for a hungry mans luncheon. His colleague from Long Island, Jim Covert. de- clared, at the same time, that nothing less than gross was satisfying. The colored citizen of Virginia swore sol emnly. as the presidential automobile started back from the Cape Henry pa vilion, that he counted one hundred and sixty-eight oysters raw and roast ed as they disappeared into the de- partment of the interior of the presi- dent of the United States. The writer is not prepared to say that this is an exaggeration. and Captain Butt was so busy with ham and oysters himself that it is understood that he failed to keep tally. but it is certain that Mir Taft paid no attention to the dietary injunctions of Colonel Edy, the presi- dential physician. if he knew of them. on this particular occasion. He was there to enjoy himself and that he did so requires no affidavit to prove. The president has eaten possum in Geor gie, bear meat in Wyoming, clans in Connecticut and all sorts of. French dishes in New Orleans. Last Thurs day he tasted a piece of six foot pie and in fact he has tested about every possible delicacy that any white cap ped impressario of the kitchen ever dreamed of. But those who sat with him at Cape Henry on that memorable occasion will all swear that they never saw a man whose cOuntenance exhib- 'ited such signs of complete enjoyment as were shown on the broad features of the executive of these United States on that particular occasion.

with temperatures far below freez-

killed. The warm weather Of the

were fiourishing. The cold here is
more severe than since the freeze ten
