Not to Be Caught Mapping.

Many are the charms adopted by So
ciety women with a grain of supersti-
ton in their makeup, and n of the
most unique is hat worn by a young
matron who spends much of her time
at Atlantic City. Attention being
called to her curious pendant-a pol
ished substance set in pearls and sus-
pended from a slender gold chain
she was rsked what manner of stone
1t might be. "Stone?' she laughed.
It's just plain, ordinary wood. You
see, i have a most unfortunate ten
dency to boast, and at such times eau

times there is no wood at hand, SO

ing some opposition to start win.
The ceremony was performed In the circular
room. and there was dancing afterward, the pres
ident and his wife taking part in the Virginia
reel.
1t has been said of the Monroes that they made
fewer friends in Washington than any presiden-
tial family before or since. They were very eX-
elusive and so formal that Mr.. Monroe once re-
fused to see a near relative who called at the
White House because the visitor was not attired
in the small clothes appropriate to full dress.
Mrs. Hay, the eldest daughter, would not visit
the wives of the diplomats because they did not
call first upon her. Thus it came about that
when the youngest daughter, Maria Hester Mon
roe, married her cousin, Samuel Laurence Gou-
verneur, then secretary to the president, nobody
was at the wedding except members of the fami-
lies of the bride and bridegroom. 1t took place
in the circular room at noon on March 3, 1871,
and the clergyman, the Rev. DR.. Hawley of st.
Johns church, wore knee breeches with silver
buckles on his low shoes.
The couple spent their summers at Oak Hill.
Loudon county, Va. They lived in New York
in winter. Ex-President Monroe died in the New
York house while on a visit to his daughter.
They had three children. two Of them boys.
Maria Monroe Gouverneur died at Oak Hill at
the age of forty-nine and was buried there.
Anna Todd Of Philadelphia was married at the
White House in 1912 to John G. Jackson, a men,
Der of congress from Virginia and a granduncle
of Stonewall Jackson.
History is unfortunately silent in regard to sub
sequent events in the life of Anna Todd, but 1t is
known that she went to Virginia with her. hus-
band and lived there the rest Of her life.
Dolly Madison had two sisters. One of them,
Anna, became the wife of Congressman Cults of
Maine. The other and younger sister. Lucy, was
married at fifteen years of age to George Steptoe
Washington, a nephew of the Father Of His
Country. He died and she went to live with the
Madisons.
All of which merely leads up to the fact that
on the evening of March IL, 1911, Lucy, the
widow aforementioned, was married at the White
House to a Kentucky widower named Todd, who
was an associate justice of the Supreme court.
This was the first White House wedding and was
celebrated with all the eclat possible in those
comparatively simple days.
1t will be noticed that only four of the twelve
White House brides have been daughters of
Presidents. The first of these was Maria Mon
roe, the second Elizabeth Tyler. the third Nellie
Grant and the fourth Alice Roosevelt. Jessie
Woodrow Wilson will be the fifth.

for such a purpose, and the cost of the
affair would have to come oat of his
own pocket. A bright idea struck
him.
He invited the naval visitors to be
his guests the third day thereafter at
an American picnic" Then he sent
invitations to the best people of the
neighborhood to join him in a basket

friends now on our shores"
The people came with great baskets
and hampers of provisions. A royal

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her p%rejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic In her expression OF dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out Of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
questioner, HE carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie.'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he Is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. "But
that's another matter don't like him
anyhow-and besides, 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
1t proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much Of it's refreshing
d~eliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
hat it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answe is similar to the old
lady's-they say but that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
~prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, 1t all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever 1t is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth Is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

Army is going, and going rapidly. Each month now at the Pension Of flee in Washington 4,000 names are struck from the roll with the grim word dead" closing each pension ac- count. Four thousand a month! {! These men who went forth to give their lives for the Union 51 years ago hardly fell on the battlefieIds and in fever hospitals at that rate.
 The country needs a new sense of the great debt owed to these men. The country owes it to this dwind1insy band to smooth out their declining years. It ought to be easier for them to get their pensions. They ought rot to be subjected to the annoying Se- lays and red tape that they have been subjected to in the past. Their pensions ought to be bigger-a deI- lar day is not too much. Moreover pensions ought to be paid more fre- quently. There has been introduced In Congress bill providing fer monthly instead of quarterly payment Of pensions, and I hope it will mass It is to be hoped that the new com missioner of pensions will require that pension matters will receive more prompt treatment than they have heretofore, when old soldiers have been compelled to wait week after week, and month after month. for their pension claims to receive even preliminary consideration.
