General Arthur Felt Little satisfac-
tlon In Occupying the White
House Because His Loved
Helpmate was Gone.


When Chester A. Arthur became
president of the United States his
first official residence was in the
Washington house of Senator John p.
Jones of Nevada This was due to
the fact that the White House had
to undergo a long period of renova-
ton following President Garheld's re-
moval thence to the seashore, and 1t
was not until late in the autumn of
1881 that General Arthur was able to
take up his residence in the nations
home for its presidents. In the mean
time he was provided with suitable
roof through the thoughtfulness and
hospitality of Senator Jones.
ri know that It was with no feeling
Of pride or exultation that Chester A.
Arthur finally entered the White
House as president" said General
Howard Carroll, former member OF
congress from New York City and for
years one of General Arthur's inti-
mate personal and political friends.
HE was bowed down with regret over
the Garfield tragedy, for one thing;
and then, Notwithstanding his politi-
cal activity, he was lonely man. His
little daughter was away at school,
his son was at college, and his wife
had been dead several years when he
was elected vice president.
General Arthur and his wife had
been much attached to each other;
their domestic relations were ideal.
Mrs. Arthur was a beautiful woman of
many accomplishments and she and
her husband had many tastes in com
mon. Both were fond of music; Mrs
Arthur had very charming and high
~ cultivated voice, which, had she
chosen a professional career for her
self, probably would have brought her
considerable fame. And both were
very fond of literature. Although the
public did not know 1t, President Ar
thur was of scholarly attainments. He
was a constant reader of the classics,
he spoke German very well. and he
read that language with facility.
"One morning about week after
the president had moved into tho
White House ! had occasion to can
there, AS was compelled to leave
for New York on mid-forenoon train,
I timed my call so as to reach the
White House just after the president
had finished breakfast. But when
asked for him his valet, Powell. told
me that the president was dressing.
I therefore sent word that would
wait until he could receive me. but In
a few moments l was asked to 90 to
the presidents dressing room, end
there we conversed about the business
that had called me to the White

Senator's Niece Remembered He Lik-
ed Rome" and the Combination
OF Letters Was Found to Open
Safe Where Testament Lay.

Roscoe Conkling, for IA years
years United States senator from
New York, and during that period one
on the leaders in the national councils
of the Republican party, died as the
result of exposure in the great New
York blizzard of 1888. Not until aft
er his funeral was over was the pub
lie aware that Mr.. Conkling had been
much wealthier than 1t had common
ly believed. His law practice, once
resumed. had proved most profit
able; and yet, seven years before his
death, when he wanted to leave Wash
ington for New York, following his
resignation from the senate, he was
so poor that he actually had to borrow
the necessary car fare from Chamber
lain, the famous hotel and restaurant
man of the national capital.
Since the estate left by the former
senator had value of several hun
dred thousand dollars, 1t became ne
cessary for the immediate members
of his family to seach as soon as prac-
.tIcable after his death for a Will IL
was naturally presumed that Mr..
Conkling had left a will; he was a
man Of most meth1dical habits, and
he surely knew that his estate was OF
considerable value. Yet, search
where they would. the family were
unable to locate any sign of docu-
ment making testamentary disposi-
tlon of the estate.
"At last" said the late Col. Freder-
ick A. Conkling, the senator's broth
er, who also was very brilliant man
and for many years a lawyer of con-
siderable note in New York state,
''some one of the family happened to
remember that we had not yet looked
into a small steel chest, or box, which
had belonged TO Roscoe This box
had combination lock which bore
the letters of the alphabet instead of
numbers, and through the proper con-
junction OF some of those letters the
box would open Yet novsnere were
we able to find record of the COIL
bination

statement of Professor Tompkins, and
declared the only thing you could say
to such a man was that he didn't
know what he was talking about, and
that the facts didn't bear him out.
college women have amounted to
something, and do" said Miss Presley.
"The logic of saying that any girl
decent amount to anything just be-
cause she isn't married, or that SIM
ply because she isn't married she is a
freak, l can't see."
College Experience Valuable.
Another Cleveland girl, who recent
ly graduated from Smith, holds the
opinion that college ought to make a
girl more normal. She's been hav-
ing all sorts of things happen to her
In those four years." she said, "and
she ought to be less freakish, II any
thing, because she's had SO much valu-
able experience" She herself is stay
ing at home since graduating and in
addition to helping her mother about
the house and in entertaining, she has
found time for some social settlement
work and holding library classes.
Many other Cleveland girls who
have been graduated from college are
living what seems to be a perfectly
normal existence at home. taking
much interest n ordinary affairs and
now and then entering into charitable
work Of some kind.
In the old days, teaching school was
practically the only way In which an
educated woman could earn a living
Nowadays. while many professions are

the box itself. so the only thing to do
was to attempt to work out the COM
blnation. If l remember correctly, we
first tried the combination of letters
that spell the word Grant Roscoe,
you know, was a great Grant admirer.
and we felt he might have taken that
name as his combination. But we
were wrong.
Then word after word we tried.
Roscoe was one, Conkling was an
other, Utica, where the senator lived,
was a third All the family names
were called into use one after an.
other Still no encouragement-ab
lutely none-and we were about
ready to make up our minds to break
the lock, after all, when one OF the
ladies' present offered a suggestion.
Uncle she said, was very fond
OF the word Rome. Don't all of you
remember how he used to roll it out
with great delight in that deep, rich
voice of his? / have heard him say
1t thus many and many a time'-and
she gave fair imitation of the way
Roscoe used to pronounce the word.
And she went on, L have heard
Uncle say. oh, so many times, that he
thought in the word Rome was to be
found the finest combination of VOW
els and consonants In any word in the
English language. l am sure he took
the word Rome that he was so fond
of for the combination. Try it, please.
"At once we adopted the suggestion.
AS the letter r. was found there came
a faint click from the lock. Care
fully, we turned to o. and another
click resulted. An appeal to m pro-
duced like result. and when finally
the last letter Of the word that Roscoe
had delighted in saying was indicated.
behold! the lock yielded, the little
steel box opened and lying along with
in it was the will we had been search
ing for so long"
Also on the authority of Col. Fred
erick Conkling, l am able to state
that his distinguished brothers
achievements as an orator and as a
great master of the English tongue
were due as much TO intense applica-
ton as to native gifts. Colonel Conk-

Judge William H. Robertson collector

mado of the daintiest sort of white
stun, the necks were cut low and
edged with lace, and pink and blue
baby ribbon was run through it where
possible, while neat little bows were
tied on the shoulders.
That's all there is to 1t. Mother
called in the bride. and the bride or
dered the "trousseau" carefully hid
den away until what she deemed a
proper time When the happy couple
came back from their honeymoon he
was shown his mothers handiwork,
and was able to write the expected
letter of thanks, while his pretty
things" were joyfully accepted by the
rather large and muscular daughter
OF the Janitor-although she indig-
nantly declined part Of the pajamas.
But the eternal mother-in-law
couldn't keep the joke. That's why

TRoUSSEAU FOR BRIDEGROOM

in an Indiana town, where she saw
her son only enthusiastically and
where all her associations are with
women. And when she heard her son
was about to wed, It was only natural
that the things that appeal to a wom-
an at such a time should associate
themselves with her son.
The result was a trousseau for him.
1t was surprise, TOO. In order tnat
he should know nothing about It, the
trousseau was made, sent to Chicago
to the home of the bride with re-

That's the way the story got out
The brides mother opened tho pack

which accompanied It Alright. Here's
what met her astonished gaze:
Six union suits.
Six pairs of pajamas.
