HAYS PREDICTION.
III Expect to Be Comfortably Dead In
1908" He Wrote.

A very interesting letter referring
TO President Lincoln just after his first
Inauguration and written by John
Hay is dated Washington, 1861, and
says in part:
IF there is anything which more
than all causes me to regret the intol-
cradle press of business about the
presidents office it Is the imposSi-
bility of answering the letters Of my
best friends. l have positively not had
a moments leisure since we arrived in
this city. The throng of office seekers
is absolutely fearful They come at
daybreak and still are coming at mid
night
You know that in anything L can do
you can command me- but you over
rate my influence. Mr.. Lincoln posi-
lively refuses to make any recommen-
dations for positions in the depart
ment; he rejects the entreaties even Of
his most intimate friends and rela-
tives"
In another letter, Washington, Dec.
u, no year. Hay says:

senators, Burnside and Anthony. 1
did not pay McKinley's debts. l never
called him William in my life, nor did
he ever call me John. Our inter
course has always been of the most
formal character. have absolutely
no claim on him for myself or friends"
And in another letter Hay writes
from Washington:
Il am old, sick and busy, and l have
not a moment at my disposition be-
sides what is occupied by my daily
tasks. Do not talk about any
thing so ridiculous as my being a can
didate for the presidency. l shall
never hold an Office after this, and |

THE HORSE BREAKER.
How He Cured a Valuable Animal of
Bad Habit.


Bad Habit.
The late Duke Of Northumberland
once purchased a beautiful and Yalu-
able horse, but no sooner had his grace
begun to use him than he discovered
that the horse had one very bad trick
that of suddenly lying down when
his rider was on his back. This could
not be endured, so he ordered his serv-
ant to get the horse properly broken
in, says u writer in Chambers Journal.
Accordingly away went the groom to
q celebrated horse breaker in the city
of Durham and, without mentioning
the animals particular frailty, left him
him in. The next day the teacher Of
horses rode out on an experimental
trip with the dukes favorite and pres
emily found himself gently rolled upon
the soil and the horse by his side, very
much at his ease.
"Oh," said the horse breaker, not at
all embarrassed, lis that your Gus
tom" So he provided himself the
next day with several strong stakes
and plenty Of sound rope and took the
unceremoniOus steed to a large field
adjoining Durham cathedral. Riding
round and round, the animal, accord
ing to his character, soon stretched
himself comfortably rider and all, on
the green sods. Without saying a
word the horse breaker, getting up,
seized upon his wooden stakes, drove
them deep and firm into the ground all
around the wiIlful brute and then by
means of the rope fastened him down
exactly in the position chosen by him
self, so that neither legs nor body
could stir one inch. OF course after a
time the horse was willing to get up,
but the teacher was willing he should
lie still, and there he kept him with
plenty of hay and water within reach,
for three days and three nights, him
self sitting on his back for most of
the time, smoking his pipe. The horse
never again lay down with his rider
on his back.

The Lost Repeater.

When mOnsieur-the first monsieur
at the court of Louis XIV.-discOyered
at his Ievee that his watch had been
stolen, presumably by one Of his val
cts, he finished dressing hastily and,
addressing them all, said: Gentlemen,
the watch strikes. Let us separate as
quickly as we can" What a tact and
finish were here!
The spirit of monsieur was admira-
bly, caught by the French gentleman
of the time who, attacked by robbers
at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, simply
observed, "Sirs, you have opened very
early today."-Cornhill Magazine.

How We Change.

did you notice that woman's ex-
preston just then?' queried a traveller
on an elevated train. and he pointed
to a handsomely gowned woman
whom the exigencies of transportation
had placed directly opposite an aged
and not too clean man. The old man
was about to conceal a big red hand
kerchief
THAT old fellow" continued the
traveller, 'just took a pinch Of snuff,
and took it vigorously, and the opera
tion appeared to give the woman nau-
eea. Disgust was written all over her
face Think Of 1t! A habit condemned
universally by refinement today and
once the habit Of king, courtier and
social exquisite. The jeweled snuff
box-what a treasure it was! And
now-well, we do change, don't we?-

PROCESSING PATRIOTS.

Bishop Charles d. Williams of the
Episcopal diocese of Michigan said in
st. Bartholomew church, New York,
July 4th, something that the Democrat
has long been hoping that great
American would say. Thus he spoke
1--WE affect democratic simplicity and
appear to despise pride in aristocratic
descent, but on the other hand, organize
societies for just the opposite purpose. 4"
The good bishop named, as the sOcie
ties which he had in mind, the Sons Of
the American Revolution, the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, the Co
lOnial Danes, the order Of Cincin
natus," etc, which he characterized as
organizations for mutual admiration
which indulge in harmless patriotic
buncombe, such as teaching kindergar
tens Of foreign children to go through
flag drills and sing THE Star Spangled
Banner"
1t is as easy to profess patriotism as
it is to cry Lord, Lord. There is an
organization called the Merchant
Marine League Of the United States
which issues a publication called The
American Flag. The object is to Sc
cure a ship subsidy Real patriotism
is best exemplifed by honest and true
hearted service Of the state, rather than
by noisy professions of loyalty to the
HuC,
