Benson j. LOSING is authority for the
statement that on the day the arrest
of Mason and Slidell became known in
America President Lincoln expressed
himself as doubling the wisdom of
their retention. Losing says he was
in the war office at Washington when
the news from the San Jacinto was
first received and that three cheers
were repeatedly given led by the sec
retary of war, Governor Andrew OF
Massachusetts and others. The same
day Mr.. Lossing visited the White
House and had a short interview with
the president. He quotes Mr.. Lincoln
as then saying:
II fear the traitors will prove TO be
white elephants. We must stick TO
American principles concerning the
rights of neutrals. We fought Great
Britain for insisting, by theory and
practice, on the right to do precisely
what Captain Wilkes has done II
Great Britain shall now protest against
the act and demands their release we
must give them UP, apologize for the
act as a violation Of our doctrines and
thus forever bind her over to Keep the

the Mercer county Teachers Associa-
| tion WAS held in the High School audi
torium December 10, 1911. The meet
ing was called to order by Vice Presi-
dent, Fern Raudabaugh. After sing

Supt. S. Wilkin, prayer by Rev. Ben

to splendid address on Present Day

Com mission office. This trial is not
over. He is being tried today and the
descendants of Aaron Burr are assist
ing in this present day trial His re-
putation will stand fixed in the hearts
of the people. Dr. Miller told of the
life of Harmon Blennerhassett. He
described his beautiful home where in
1905 he entertained Aaron Burr, who
induced him to join in his reasonable
conspiracy. His scheme had progress
ed to an ad dvanced stage, when the en-
terprise was detected and Burr was
tried for treason in 1907. Hare again

lated to the sound of the saddled hunt
ers stamping under the shelter of the

to do with any Of it?
The lady, looking at him over her
glass, let her condescending smile
fade away like false dawn, Her
eyes turned serious. She saw some
thing beneath the rags and Scotch ter
rier whiskers that she did not under
stand But it did not matter.
Fuzzy lifted his glass and smiled
yacantly.
"P-pardon, lady" he said, 'but
couldn't leave without exchangin'
comp'ments sheason with lady tn
house. 'Gainst principles gentleman
do sho."
And then he began the ancient salu.
tation that was tradition in the
house when men wore lace rufles and
powder.
"The-the blessings of another
year"
Fuzzy's memory failed him. The
lady prompted:
BE upon this hearth"
The guest" stammered Fuzzy,
And upon her who" continued
the lady, with a leading smile.
"Oh, cut it out" said Fuzzy, ill
lnanneredly. Il can't remember. Drink
hearty"
Fuzzy had shot his arrow. They
drank. The lady smiled again the
smile of her caste. James enveloped
Fuzzy and re-conducted him toward
the front door. The harp music still
softly drifted through the house.
Outside, Black Riley br9athed on
his cold hands and hugged the gate.
Cold though he was, he did not think
of deserting his post while Fuzzy re-
mained inside.
Il wonder" said the lady to herself,
musing, "who-but there were so
many who came. l wonder whether
memory is a curse or a blessing to
them after they have fallen so low"
Fuzzy and his escort were nearly
at the door when the lady called:
"James!"
James stalked back obsequiously,
leaving Fuzzy waiting unsteadily, with
his brief spark Of the divine fire en-
tirely gone.
Outside, Black Riley stamped his
cold feet and got firmer grip on his
section of gas-pipe.
"You will conduct this gentleman"
said the lady, downstairs. Then tell
Louis to get out the Mercedes and
take him to whatever place he wishes
to CO."

Black Riley gauged Fuzzy quickly
with his blueberry eye as a wrestler
does. His hand was itching to play
the Roman and wrest the rag Sabine

drew who was entertaining an angel
unaware. But he refrained. Fuzzy
was fat and solid and big. Three
inches Of well-nourished corpOreity,
defended from the winter winds by
dingy linen, mtervened between his
vest and trousers. Countless small,
circular wrinkles running around his
coat-sleeves and knees guaranteed
the quality of his bone and muscle.
His small, blue eyes, bathed in the
moisture of altruism and wooziness,
looked upon you kindly yet without
abashment. He was whiskerly, whis
kyly, feshily formidable. So, Black
Riley temporized.
"Wot'll you take for it, den?" he
asked.
