That one man. not a great man,
should say such words seems a little
thing TO influence the mind of a per-
sOnage such as was Louis Napoleon
even in his dark days. But his mind
was thirsty for such words, and such
a confidence to reinforce his own.
The failure at Strasburg had been n
bitter blow, and his later trial and
condemnation TO exile, pluckily as he
had borne it. had shaken his courage;
the four months at sea had been soIi-
tary. the landing in an unknown
country without friends or resources
was hard and lonely. 1t seemed as if
a sword were fitted into his empty
hand as he watched the Illuminated
face of this man and listened TO the
words which breathed sure trust in a
destiny. that was the destiny of both.

RED CROSS SEALS
TOTAL NEAT SUM

The sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals in st. Joseph county will far
exceed those OF any previous year.
alone the total sales were $553.17.
When Mishawaka and New Carlisle
have sent in their reports to the CEN
trail office the total will be raised TO
something over $500, which is $500
above the mark set by the officers of
the league as the amount to be rails
ed in the county this year.
Much of the credit for the success
of the sale is due TO Miss Louise
Studebaker, who took entire charge
of the city sales. Ii is the first time
the city work has had a manager and
the plan has justified itself.
The public in general. too, has re-
sponded much better than ever be-
fore. People have seemed to have
better understanding of the work
and had bought the seals in prefer
ence TO other Christmas stickers.
Sales in the individual stands have
shown a marked increase over those
of last year. At the Oliver hotel they
were more than doubled. This year
S16O.52 was made at that stand as
pOstotfice only $3S worth were sold
last year in contrast TO S11O.O9 this.
In the factories this year $150.17 was
J made last year only $7O.50.
All the stands in the city will close
Wednesday evening at o'clock. The
reports from Mishawaka and New
Carlisle will probably not be in until
the first of next week, when complete
reports for the sale in the county
NAV be given. Seventy-five per cent
of the money made in st. Joseph
county will remain here for county
work.

Christmas cheer will not be lacking
for the "boarders" in the county jail
Thursday. Sheriff Edward Swanson
has prepared TO regale his visitors
with a holiday dinner which will
scarcely be surpassed in many South
Bend homes and there is little doubt
that many of the 9ity's less fortunate

There will be roast chicken with
the mashed potatoes and gravy. the
cranberries and all usual trimmings
besides dessert with cake.

reputation with the regulars"

POSTOFFICE HANDLES
1,147 SACKS IN 2 DAYS

That the South Bend postofice is
working at maximum efficiency is
shown by the report OF the numb
Of sacks OF mail handled at the local
office during the first two days of this
week. on Monday 515 sacks were
handled, including incoming and out
going, and on Tuesday $50 sacks
passed through the Office.
This total Of 1.147 for the two DAYS
is regarded as particularly credita bic
during the rush season The show
ing is held TO be especially creditable
inasmuch as a recent report showed
that the number OF sacks handled in
the postOffice at Indianapolis during
one day was 1000. the city being sew
eral times larger and the Office facili-
ties much greater.

WHITE HOUSE is SPLENDID
as a Great System Can Possibly
Make 1t.

The White House, over which Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson is the new mistress,
is as splendid as any palace. Every
thing in the White House is as fine
and orderly as great system can
make it,
Congress appropriates each year
$4,000 for the care and furnishing of
the executive mansion.
While the wives of the presidents
order some changes to keep abreast
of the times and to- renew any
scratched or damaged furniture much
of the charm of the place comes from
its furniture and silver dating back
to the earliest presidents.
Some of the show furnishings of the
White House are: A gold piano.
valued at $4,000, two wonderful blue
Sevres vases valued at $4,000 each. oil
portraits of priceless value, including
one of Martha Washington, chandel-
iers containing $500 pieces of crystal,
carpets and draperies of great value
and rarity, several sets of chinaware
containing each 1850 pieces.
Marble and gold leaf combine with
the richest materials in furnishings to
make the White House fitting home
for the natoin's chief executive.

CAPITAL FASCINATES WOMEN
There Is Renaissance of the Spirit of
True Hospitality and Delicate
Courtesy.

Washington has peculiar fascina-
tion for women. Ask any congress
man why he desires to remain in
Washington. and he will answer, My
wife likes it." 1T is the woman in
the case" remarked a cynical bach
elor congressman. who decides upon
Washington" Once immersed in the
whirl of society, where national celeb
rites, past and present, mingle freely
together, the woman in Washington is
soon under the fascination of society
that is so often read about and so
seldom experienced elsewhere. The
first session of the Democratic house
and senate was coeval with an over
ture of social liveliness that takes
some of the sharp edge off the tariff
ak.
AS was anticipated, many new soci-
ETY. leaders have appeared in Washing
ton, and largely from the south, and
there follows a renaissance of the
spirit of true southern hospitality, and
delicately toned courtesy and atten-
ton in social affairs, such as has not
been known for years past.

Increase for Indians.

Secretary of the Interior Lane has
signed an order. which becomes ef-

dian funds on deposit to the credit of
superintendents of the various agen-
cies that hitherto have not drawn in
terest shall be placed upon an inter
est-bearing basis at the same rate
that prevails in the localities where
the money is deposited.
1t is estimated that these accounts
approximate s1,OOO.OO0, and the order
of Secretary Lane will increase the
income of the individual Indians $780,
900 per year on basis of three per
cent. per annum. The order is based
upon an investigation conducted by
Otis l.. Benton, supervisor of Indian
funds, and has been recommended by
Acting Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs f. H. Abbott.

GIFTS TO MOUNT VERNON
w. Lanier Washington Presents valu-
able Relics-one Is a Patent
to Estate.

W. Lanier Washington of New Tork
city has presented to the board of re-
gents of the Mount Vernon Ladies as
sociation a number of valuable relics
that descended to him from Gen.
George Washington. In addition to
these relics, he has also sent to them
reproduction of the only oil portrait
ever made of Gen. Washington moth
er. The original is in his possession,
and has been pronounced by an ex-
pert from the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art fine example of the portraiture
work of that period The identity of
the artist has not been established.
Another valuable gift, to be added to
the collection of Washington relics. is
the original patent of deed. signed by
Lord Culpeper, to 5000 acres of land
which subsequently descended to
Washington and of which the present
Mount Vernon estate is a part. The
document is dated 1874 and is In
good state of preservation.
In 1S4S. the collection of books form
ing Gen. Washington's library was sold
by the members of the Washington
family who had inherited them to a
Boston syndicate, which purchased
them for the Boston Atheneum, where
they now are. For several years, the
library committee of the Mount YER
non Ladies' association has tried to
induce the officials of the Boston
Atheneum to return the books to their
original home. but without success.
While these negotiations have been
in progress the regents have made
wide search for any scattered volumes
that once formed part of Washing
tons library, and have been success
full in obtaining limited number of
such books. To the few originals
which they have acquired they have
been adding from time to time dupli-
cate volumes of the same edition as
those in the Boston Atheneum when
ever they have been procurable. A
number of duplicate volumes of this
edition also have bene received re-
Gently as gifts.

steadily, and there is now stored away
thousands of dollars of this silver for
which no use has been devised
Practically every battleship in the
United States navy carries its silver
set presented by the citizens or the
Legislature of the state for which it
was named. These sets range in value
from $4,000 to $25, 900 and contain any
where from 100 to 200 pieces. Many
of the ships of smaller class, such as
the cruisers and torpedo destroyers.
which have been named for cities or
individuals, also have their compli-
mentary silver sets and the total value
of all such silver ware in the navy is
now more than a half million dollars.
AS long as the ship is in commission
this presentation set Is carried in a
glass case in the officers mess, where
1t is kept under lock and key by the
captain. Only on rare occasions do
its chaste and filigreed pieces deck the
dining table, and form an elaborate
setting for the banquets of state.
Only in one way has the govern
ment found an outlet for all the silver
ware on its storage books. In many
cases, when a new ship is constructed
that bears the same name as did a
predecessor, the old presentation set
is placed on the new vessel and new
lease on life is given it in more mod
ern surroundings. One or two of the
newest ships of the navy are carrying
old sets of this kind.
One plan that has been indicated for
the disposition of these unused sets is
that they should be placed on exhibit
ton in one of the national museums.
So far, the navy department has taken
no action on this plan. Only the silver
ware presented to the old battleship
Maine, that was taken from the mud
of Havana harbor and carefully clean
ed and secured, has been placed on
view. 1t forms one of the interesting
relics of the vessel in the war, state
and navy building in Washington.
Most valuable of all the services
that are being carried by the ships of
the navy is that of the battleship
Pennsylvania This service was pur-
chased with an appropriation by the
Pennsylvania state legislature, and
presented by the governor. 1t cost
$4,000 and consists of $50 pieces, in
cluding candlesticks, candelabras and
many knicknacks. The Louisiana car
ries service that cost the citizens
of that state $4,000; the school chill
dren and residents of Utah presented
to the vessel of that a 100000 set of
silver that includes a centerpiece cost
ing $500, two candelabras costing $970
and four candlesticks costing $270;
while the Georgia, the Delaware, the
Mississippi and a number of other bat
tleships have services of equal value.
The battleship Indiana, for which the
people of Indiana, through the legisla-
ture. purchased an expensive silver
service, is now held on the reserve list,
and will within the next few years
be replaced by a new and more mod
ern engine of war. Some months ago
there was talk of using the battleship
for target purposes, but the idea was
abandoned, for the time being at least.
For long time the Indiana has been
lying at the navy yard at Philadelphia,
though she is at this time being made
ready for service again.

Strange Indian Names.

New and strange Indian names con-
tinually are being added to the govern
ment pay rolls. The treasury depart
ment recently sent warrants drawn to
the order of the following allottees OF
lands in the west: Mary Full Stom.
ach, John Brings Home the Baby
George Circle Foot, Kettle Woman
Susan Howling Horse, She Paints Her
Shoes, Helen Crows, Like Water and
Edward Useful Heart.
Indian nomenclature has full play
on this pay roll. the most interesting

A generation and half of freedom
may not have taught the colored man
all of the white mans virtues, but
there were few negroes a generation
ago who owned homes or horses. who
could read and write. who had any
thought beyond the crude comfort of
the moment. Some of the hopes and
ideals of the time Immediately follow
ing emancipation and enfranchisement
have faded for the rural colored man,
but he is slowly acquiring a new ra-
cial outlook and a new self-respect.
A negro farmer died recently in q
rich wheat growing region of northern
Delaware leaving a fortune of 100000
in lands and live stock, family of
children to whom he had given fair
education and notions of thrift and a
reputation among his white neighbors
of being absolutely honest and as re-
spectacle as any man of any color.

John Thomas Blackwell aged
eighty-seven years, feeble-minded
colored man, applied at the Suffolk

lodging. He had funds, but desired,
he said, to be in a safe place. Black
well has just returned from Richmond,
where he enlisted the sympathy and
aid of the capital city newspapers in
his search for his brother, from whom
he was separated 6S years ago. He
was owned in slavery days by DR. Ste
venson, of Winchester. He and his
brother, in 1855, were sold for $500
each to Baltimore spectators. John
L. Blackwell was sold to persons in
New Orleans for $3.50, and twice more
was sold, bringing 1000 and 81 1900.
He has spent much time and money

was torn 6S years ago. The papers
have not been able to find any trace
of the brother. Blackwell has never
