BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.
"old Hickory's" caustic Advice te
James Buchanan.

"OId Hickory's" Caustie Advice to
James Buchanan.
Stories of Andrew Jackson are like
| ly to be pointed and to have a prac-
tical application, as do the stories told
of Franklin. In Mr.. ]. w. Forney's
given a story as it was told by James
Buchanan at his own table. Although
1t contained a reproof from the presi-
dent to one who was to succeed him,
1t is said to have been favorite story
at that board.
Shortly after Mr.. Buchanan's re-
turn from Russia in 1884, to the court
of which country he had been sent by
following his election to the senate he
called upon "Old Hickory" with a fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-
sent to the head of the American ma
ton.
Leaving her in the reception room
downstairs, he ascended to the presi-
dents private quarters, where he
found General Jackson unshaved, un-
kempt, in his dressing gown, with his
slippered feet on the fender, before a
blazing wood fire, smoking corncob
pipe of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object, and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr..
Buchanan desired to present.
Mr.. Buchanan was always careful
Of his personal appearance and in
some respects was a sort Of masculine
Miss Fribbe, addicted to spotless era
vats and huge collars, rather proud
Of foot small for q man OF his large
stature and to the last of his life
what the ladies would call "a very
good figure"
Having just returned from visit to
the fashionable circles of the conti-
inent after years Of thorough inter-
course with the etiquette Of one Of the
stateliest courts in Europe, he was
somewhat shocked at the idea of the
president meeting the eminent En-
glish lady in such a guise and ven-
tured to ask II General Jackson did
not intend to change his attire. There
upon the old warrior rose, with his
long pipe in his hand, and, deliber-
ately knocking the ashes out Of the
bowl, said to his friend:
buchanan, l want to give you a
little piece Of advice, which l hope
you will remember. 1 knew a man
once who made a fortune by attend
ing to his own business. Tell the lady
will see her presently"
The man who became president In
1857 was fond Of saying that this re-
mark Of Andrew Jackson humiliated
him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received.
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge, and In very
short time President Jackson entered
the room, dressed In a full suit OF
black, cleanly shaved, with his stub
born white hair forced back from his
forehead, and, advancing to the beau
tiful visitor, he greeted her with al
most kingly grace.
AS she left the White House she
said to her escort your republican
president is the royal model Of a gen.
tleman."

To Avoid Seasickness.-Many of ou

To Avoid Seasickness.-Many Of our
readers have asked this department
for a preventive of seasickness. Near
ly all of our readers fit from shore
to shore of the oceans or the lakes
during the summer, and most of them
have tried lemons and mustard plas-
ters and smelling salts and blind
faith to no avail. Charles F. Healy
has devoted much time and thought
to seasickness, its cause and cure,
and has consulted authorities hither
and yon. He has discovered a method
of avoiding seasickness which Is said
to be infallible, and we are glad to
give it space for the good of all con-
cerned:
Select a large tree, preferably an
elm or a maple with low-hanging
branches. If this is not available, a
lilac or even a gooseberry bush will
suffice. Lie full length in a hammock
on the shady side, or, If the grass is
tall, a hammock Is unnecessary. Place
the right hand under the back of the
head-be sure not to place 1t on the
forehead-and shift your position so
as to keep in the shade. Whenever
you feel an attack of seasickness
coming on while on shipboard ask the
captain to let you off and find the
necessary ingredients to fill this pre-
scription."
Clip this and paste it in your hat.
You may not be able to remember 1t

The Home -Coming.-They say that
John Nicholas Beffel, the poet, went
away from home at tender age and
for a while wrote home glowing let
ters about his prospects. The letters
finally ceased One cold evening when
the snow was piling up in the main
streets of Seneca, Ill, the elder Bef-
fel sat down to supper and looked
dolefully at the vacant chair. But be-
meath his plate he found this note:

old bridge at midnight. and bring a
blanket or a suit of clothes. | have a

Sympathized With Him.-This is a
story of the Harvard Gold Coast"
Some students who had either a real
or imaginary grievance against a tax
icab chauffeur boarded his cab and
rode all evening and part of the morn
ing, winding up in front of the halls
They excused themselves to raise mon-
ey enough to pay the bill and never
came back. The next day the taxicab
company was called up and the man.
ager asked: Did you have some Har-
ward students use a cab all night?"
Yes"
Did the chauffeur wait for four
hours for them to come out and pay
him."
Yes"
And you were never paid?"
No"

DIAZ is SADDENED.
Former President of Mexico Defends
His Course of Action in Republic.

Corunna, Spain.-Physicially enfee-
bled and sick at heart, General Porfrio
Diaz, an exile from the republic of
which he was chief builder, at last has
yielded to an impulse to self-defense.
In formal statement he justified his
administration as president of Mexico,
and reproached his countrymen for what
he described as their ingratitude.
The expression, the first of a personal
nature since he was forced from office,
was made on board the steamer Ypi-
ranga during the brief stop of the YES
sci in this harbor. Diaz had received
the governor of Corunna and the COM
mandant of the port, who, with their
stats, had boarded the vessel at the
direction of the government to present
the greetings of Spain and the Mexi-
can consul.
When he was approached by newspa-
per representatives at first he asked to
be excused, pleading indisposition and
explaining that, though the trouble
some tooth had been extracted, he still
suffered from an abscess ON the lower
jaw.

Olympia, Wash.-Gradually things
are moving so the Northern Pacific will
be forced to pay taxes on its lands now

townships included in the Wenatchee,

portion of the railroad grant in which
the section lines were never run. The
