the removal Of the civil service from
politics and spoils-mongering had not
both parties combined in congress to
thwart his every effort in that direc-
ton.
Hayes boldest challenge to the
Republican politicians was his aban-
Comment Of their 12-year struggle to
reconstruct the Southern states from
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lincoln's lifeless
hand the control Of reconstruction.
the entire proceeding had been Q
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency n
the depths Of an industrial prostra-
ton when wandering bands of
tramps thronged the highways Of the
land, and soon the first great railway
strike paralyzed transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and the Missis-
sippi. In response to the popular CRY
for more money" both parties In
congress were for repeating or modi-
flying the resumption act and for in-
fiating the currency with greenbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such surrender. Had
not his veto Of the silver bill been
overridden he would have saved the
country from taking the first step on
the road that led it TO the brink OF
free silver in 1896. -~-..
All this independence cost Hayes
the support Of the political time serv-
ers and the applause Of the partisan
press. These united in denouncing
and ridiculing him as renegade in
politics and as sniyeling hypoCrite
in private life.
The White House ''went dry" for
the FIRST time under the Hayes, and
| the president was held up to con-
tempt as a man too stingy to stand

neering wife.
Hayes afound the North and South
divided and he left them more nearly
reunited than they had been in q
generation. He found the national
currency paper and he left 1t gold
| and silver. He found the prosperity
Of the country at dead low tide and
he left it at high tide.
1t fell to Hayes to ring down The
curtain on the epoch Of the Civil
war and to usher in another epoch

tirement from politics he lived 70 heal

Another item that we may be sure
of is the shopping bag of handsome
ribbon. There is a new line OF these

pers, and some of them have hats to
match. Tops of the bags reveal new
designs, and there are many handsome
tassels used for finishing them. The

n narrow brimmed shape of plain vel
vet has crown of brocaded ribbon
draped so that It terminates In two
points at the side. OF course these
two points exist merely to support two
handsome tassels that dangle from

top which probably holds mirror on

safe wager that It contains small
ribbon covered box that carries COM
