single tragic episode which cast a
shadow over the whole after life of
our bachelor president, the only presi-
dent to die bachelor. A young wom-
an, TO whom Buchanan was engaged
in early manhood, a daughter of the
wealthiest family in the county, wrote
him a letter of dismissal under the
spell of a jealousy which had been
aroused by gossips. Pride on both
sides kept the two apart until their
separation was made irrevocable by
her sudden death-probably by sui
eide In grief and horror, the young
lover wrote to the father of the dead
girl. begging the privilege of looking
upon her remains and Of following
them to the grave. But the letter was
returned to him unopened.
Four and forty years passed, and
Buchanan went to his grave without
ever having taken any other woman
to his heart. When his executors
opened the papers, which the aged
ex-president had left in a bank vault,
they found among them little pack
ct of treasured love letters from his
sweetheart OF long ago. But in ac-
cordance with the request written on
the outside, those faded mementoes
of his only love were burned without
breaking the seal on them.
Buchanan was by no means crab.
bed old bachelor. He remained al
women, though with a perfect impair
TALLY. Nor did he keep bachelors
hall. At Wheatland, his country place
near Lancaster, Pa, he brought up,
from early childhood, the orphaned
son of one of his sisters and the
orphaned daughter of another, who
became, as Miss Harriet Lane, one
of the most admired mistresses of the
White House.
After Buchanan had risen to top
rank at the Pennsylvania bar, with
practice that brought him as much
as $4,000 in year, he entered poll
tics. Starting as Federalist, he be-
came Democrat only at the death
of the party of his first choice. He
was elected to the legislature and to
congress; was thrice elected to the
senate; served as minister to Russia
and Great Britain and was secretary
of state in Folks cabinet.
For 20 years an unsuccessful can
didate for the presidential nominal
ton, the veteran politician had all
but given up hope when at last it
came to him unsought in 1856 on his
return from long absence as Ameri-
can minister In London. AS he ac-
cepted 1t, ne sighed that the honor had
been denied him until he was too old
TO enjoy 1t, "when all the friends

was surrounded by stanch Union men,
who swept him along at pace which
sometimes left him breathless. The
new secretary of the treasury, John A.
Dix, quietly reported one day that he
had sent to New Orleans his now
famous message: "If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag shoot him on the spot"
did you write such a letter as
that?" Buchanan exclaimed.
NO." Dix replied, II telegraphed t."
Had Buchanan been a man of iron
instead Of putty, probably he could
have done no good In that chaotic
interregnum between the election and
Inauguration OF his successor. If he
had taken any step which should have
fastened Virginia and Maryland into
revolt there would have been no ma
tional capital on March 4, 1861. The
retiring president would only have
made heavier, perhaps impossible, the
task which ne wearily laid upon
stouter soul when he transferred the
presidency to Lincoln and sadly tot
tered into the shadows.

The coIors on Santiago Walls.

All Cuban cities offer a motley Of
tints, but Santiago outdoes them all
in the chaotic tumble of pigments. In
a single block we found house walls
of lavender, sap green, robins egg
blue, maize yellow, sky gray, saffron
deep imperial pink, old rose, light pink
yellow ocher. maroon, tan, vermilion
and purple. This tumble of colors
with never two shades OF the same de
gree, gives the city kaleidoscope bril-
liancy under the tropical sun that is
equally enhancing and trying to the
eye.-Harry A. Franck In the Century

fall styles. and all sorts Of plaitings.
A new fall model in striped wooden
goods has recently made its debut and
is shown In the picture above. Many
ready-made skirts employ accordion
plaits, that are liked because they take
less material than other plaits and
prove as effective, as may be gathered
from the model In the picture. The
plated skirt is easy to make at home.
One has only to buy material twice
the length of the skirt plus the width
of the hem, with sometimes n little
additional allowance for matching
the stripes or plaids. The goods Is
cut in two lengths, sewed up and the
hem put In. Then IL is taken to the
professional to plat in plating ma
chine, or one can do this work at home.
The plaits must be very thoroughly
pressed down.
When stripes running on the dag
onal are wanted, the making is less
simple, but even then presents no very
great difficulties.
