AMERICA VESPUCCI.
She Asked Congress For Citizenship

She Asked Congress For Citizenship
and "a Corner of Land"
A decided sensation was created at
Washington during the Van Buren, adj
ministration by the appearance there
of handsome and we'll dressed Italian
woman who called herself America YES
pncci and claimed descent from the
navigator who gave his name to the
continent. Ex-Presldent Adams and
Daniel Webster became her especial
friends, and she soon was a welcome
guest in the best society. In a few
weeks after her arrival she presented a
petition to congress asking, first, to be
admitted to the rights of citizenship
and, secondly, to be given "a corner of
land" out Of the public domain of the
country which bore the name of her
ancestor. An adverse report, which
soon was made, is one of the curiosi-
ties Of congressional literature. 1t eu-
logized the petitioner as "a young, dig
nitied and graceful lady with mind of
the highest Intellectual culture and
heart beating with all our own enthu-
sasm In the cause of American and
human liberty" The reasons why the
prayer Of the petitioner could not be
granted were given. but she was COM
mended to the generosity Of the Amer
lean people.
THE name of America, our country's
name, should be honored, respected and
cherished in the interesting exile from
and glorious title"
Later 1t was discovered that the wo-
man was an mpostor.-'Perley's Rem
iniscences."

" Leaves a trail of mist.
Family orange where days done.
Lying sunset kissed.

~ Melt and change away
From a dream of vaporish blues
To a tender gray.
DEEP, intenser burns the west,

springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. If you knew that by washing
in these waters you could be relieved
from that awful itch, wouldn't you
make every effort to take trip to
Europe at once? Would you not be
willing to spend your last cent to find
the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief Is right
here in your own home town.
A simple wash Of Oil Of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in D. D. D. Pre-.
