Attempt to Break Jail.

WHAT EVERY HOME NEEDS
Beautiful Things Need Not Be Expen-
sive, but They Should BE Selected
With Great Care.

A few simple bits Of pottery whose
quiet tones are carefully selected to
harmonic with the scheme Of the
room in which they are to remain,
and whose shapes are proportioned
and designed for holding flowers, are
what every household needs. Hand.
some brass and copper will often do
much toward Frightening some gloomy
corner of a room and create splendid
effects when filled with masses Of
green or some bold flowers. When
purchasing a collection of bowls and
vases in which to place flowers, one
might take note Of those chosen by
a person Of excellent Judgment in such
matters.
Plain glass vases, medium tall and
fiaring, and having heavy bases, make
excellent holders for sweet peas;
Spanish pottery suits well the rich col
ors of nasturtiums and geraniums;
cylindrical vases and dull colors are
appropriate for holding hollyhocks
and branches that have woody stalks.
Mexican bowls in their full color en-
nance the loneliness of chrysanthe-
NUNS. Goldenrod is very beautiful
when placed in tall earthen vases, and
combines beautifully with sweet fern,
which is also plumelike and makes a
suitable background for it.

folks stories his own. Good stories were so highly
priced by him that he stored them away in his
memory with jealous care, and used them as the
occasion presented itself. Al he himself said;
l believe that genuine humor is a plaster that
heals many a wound. I remember a good story
when hear it, but l never invent anything orig.
inal. I am only a retail dealer. A pinch of mental
snuff"
When his friends complimented him on the way
ne looked or something he had done he loved to
laugh 1t away with a joke, to show that he appre-
ciated their friendship and still that he refused TO
be spoiled by fattery. The following is a story
IN point. One day a friend shook hands with him
and said: Mr.. President, it is some time since
| saw you in Illinois" Yes came the jovial an
swer. 81 am about the same as the old horse who
was put in a pasture to Craze. A neighbor, seeing
the horse after she had been there some time,
said: We'll, you put this horse in here to recuper-
ate, but she looks now about the same as when
you first put her in. She neither recupes nor de-
cupes!' That's just about the way it is with me"
Two qualities kept him the same unassuming
man after he was made president of the United
States that he was when he began TO make a ca
reer for himself. One was his sense of humor,
which never allowed him to become self-conscious,
and the other his wonderful faith in God and in
his fellow men. His friends never hesitated to ap-
proach him to ask him afavor nor tell him a funny
story. A friend says: zone day on board ship |
showed him In Harper's Weekly a funny little
rhyme which was so amusing that the president
sat down and sprawled himself on the deck and
said: Lend me your penknife.' l handed him
the knife and he cut the piece from the paper,
saying: Not a very digniied position for the presi-
dent of the United States, but eminently comfort
able for that purpose"
Music was another OF his f~avorite recreations.
He loved to hear the boys sing their songs in
camp. He loved homely ballads and simple dit
ties. The greatest favor a friend or soldier could
show him was. to sing simple tunes, AS one friend
admits: "Often have l seen him in tears while
I was rendering in my poor way a homely mel
ody." rG 1
He found great delight in the laughter and
FRANKS of children. He allowed his own boys
great freedom in the White House. He often let
their misdemeanors go unpublished because every
thing about children gave him recreation and
pleasure, The keeper in the White House tells
this story showing his love for children: 1--WE
were walking over to the war department. Just
as we got to the door a nurse holding one infant
and having another at her side got in our way.
I took hold Of the little tot gently and put her to
one side SO the president could pass.
THAT'S all right, that's all right the president
said, as though he was displeased that I had dis
turbed the child wv s.Nfs3 4

SPIRITS AND HARRY
By GRACE JENNINGS.

When Harry Fenton opened a Law
Office in the metropolis he encouraged
himself with the statement he hac
once read that the average lawyers
income was in the neighborhood Of
three thousand dollars. That was all
right but it omitted to add that the
colossal incomes of the leading lights
svelled the average; in other words
that this income was distributed
among the profession very Irregular
ly indeed.
Three months and three clients had
begun to raise in his mind serious prob
lens Is to his winters Office rem
when, one morning, the prettiest girl
that he had ever seen entered his
little place.
What can I do for you, MADAME
asked the man, bewildered both by
the apparition and by the melancholy
thought that he could not charge a
pretty girl as much as he would charge
her father.
lou are a lawyer, are you not?"
asked the girl, sitting down and look
ing helplessly at him. Il wanted-I
wanted to go to an unknown lawyer.
You see, am well-known about here.
MY father is a lawyer"
You have come to the right place,
madam" said Harry grimly.
Wei, it's like this said the girl.
MY father married late in life. He
Is nearly eighty now, and he has fall
len into the power of a dreadful
woman-Madame Charmeuse, the Me-
dunn 5
Who ~advertises in the Sunday
papers?"
Yes. She claims to put him in
communication with his wife-my
step-mother, you know-by automatic
writing. My mother died when / was
born, and father married again, and his
second wife died, and-well, last night
both Of them wrote to him"
Out Of the girls indifference Harry
gathered the following facts: His Wis
dtor's name was Lucy Lawrence, and
her father had been a noted lawyer in
his day. He had begun to investigate
~Spiritualism, and the Medium" had
begun to send the old man notes, in

The fioorwalker said to. the man.
ager of the shoe department:
Il had the doggondest time with my
furnace this morning"
What was wrong with it?''
Il couldn't get a bit Of heat in the
dining room, and | couldn't under
stand it."
What did you do?"
Il went down into the cellar and
took off a part of the pipe. but that
was all right"
Huh"
And then + examined the check
damper and that was all right

Then looked at the draft and
that was all right"
well, Welt"
Finally, after working about an
hour | found out what the trouble
was
What was it?7

here. But II you concentrate hard YOU
may assure yourself that you win draw
pure spirits down to these earth-bound
regions-but let us begin" he ended
taking his seat at a small table.
The MEDIUM" followed suit with
poor grace, and. a sheet of paper hav.
ing been placed under her hand, and
a pencil beside it. the lights were
turned down.
1t was creepy-Harry acknowledged
that. But the thought of Miss Lucy
had somehow become an inspiration to
him. He felt that he must save her
fortune from the grasp of the harpy
opposite him. Once his hand met hers
and he ventured a silent pressure of
goodwill. He thought it was returned
before the girl drew hers away.
I'm going into a trance" an
nounced Madame Charmeuse. I'm
going-going-hello folks!"
The last was in a thin, squeaky
voice which made Harry jump in his
chair.
That's Joey, the Indian boy" e6-
planned Mr.. Fenton. He always comes
to announce who is present"
"We can't do much tonight" said
Joey. The spirits won't write. They
say there's an unbelieving presence
here which is a%ntagonistic to their
success"
Isn't either of my wives there?"
asked Mr.. Lawrence.
yep, they're both here, but they
say they can't write" said Joey.
Dear me, am sorry I am antagon-
%istic," said Harry.
You get out" squeaked joey.
You've got no business here, and
you know it,"
Papa, perhaps it would be better
to turn up the lights" said Lucy
quickly. And the lights, turned up,
showed Madame Charmeuse just COM
ing out of her doze.
Did anybody Gomez" inquired the
woman.
No. answered the old lawyer. 1.-THE
influences were a~ntagonistic. Joey said
they couldn't"
Whats this?" cried Harry, snatch
ing up the paper under the "Medi-
um's" hand.
There certainly was writing on it.
MY wife's writing!" exclaimed old
Mr.. Lawrence, holding up the paper to
the gas. Dear husband" he read.
Il write to tell you to leave all your
money to Lucy. The spirits that told
you not to we're lying spirits using ny
name. Don't give them any further
chance, but compare my handwriting
with theirs"
Good Lord" muttered MI. Law
renee, staring in amazement at the
writing, as the Medium" slipped quiet
ly out of the room, pausing only long
enough to make a threatening gesture
at Harry.
How can I ever thank you?" asked
Lucy six weeks later. Father has
taken the message to heart and be
