Mark Twain’s Boyhood.
From the St. Joseph (Mo.) News.
“He wns always a rascal,” said R. E.
Morris, the painter, at 520 South Fourth
street, shaking of Mark Twain. “I wus
born and raised in Hannibal, nnd know
when Mrs. Clemens (Mark’s mother) moved
from Florida, Monroe couutv, to Hannibal.
Mark was a dull, stupid, slow-going fellow,
but he was full of pranks, aud while he
didn’t do the meanness, he plauned it and
got other boys to do it. We went to school
to Dr. Meredith, and Mark always sat near
the foot of the class. He never took any
interest in books, and I never saw him study
his lessons. He left school and went to
learn the printing business, and soon aftor
that left Hannibal and went to steamboat
ing.
“I staid at school, got a good education,
and am a painter, while Mark is a million
aire. It is a scandalous fact that as a boy
from 10 to 17 yeais of ago Mark was a dull,
stupid fellow, a id it was the wonder of the
town as to what end would be his. He was
pointed out by mothers os a boy tbat would
never ‘amount to nothing,’ if he did not
actually come to some bad end. And he
was the most homely lad in school, too.
Franks! I can think of a dozen of ’em, and
his ‘Huckleberry Finn’ is full of Hannibal
epitodes worked over. 1 read that with as
much interest as I would a diary of Hanni
bal kept during my school days. Mark is
three years older than myself, but he was
always in a class of boys two or three years
younger than himself.”

WHAT'LL CHICAGO SAY?
ASTOR'3 CAUSTIC RETORT TO FAR
WELL’S WORLD’S FAIR LETTER.
Chicago’a Claim to the Fair Ridiculed
The Inland Provincial Town of
Cheap “Mortgaged Palaces” the Ref
uge of Outcasts, Anarchists, Default
ers, and the Only Place Where the
American Flag Could be Hissed
With Impunity—lt’s a Big “Country
fair” That Chicago Wants Why
New York Should be Preferred for
the Site.
,(Copt/rlg\ted.t
New York, Nov. 16.—The apex of the
world’s fair controversy seems to be
reached in the rejoinder by Hon. William
Waldorf Astor of New York to the recent
letter of Senator Charles B. Farwell of
Illinois, claiming Chicago ns the proper
6ite for the fair. Mr. As tor’s reply, which
will appear in the December issue of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, and which our
correspondent has secured exclusively in
advance by the special permission of the
editor, is exceedingly caustic, aud is cal
culated to attract widespread attention.
He says:
The pages occupied by Sena’or Farwell
are more than half taken up with illustra
tions of streets and parks and monuments,
and, of the text, tbe greater portion is
culled from tbe note books of travelers and
writers, for which, since he adopts them,
he is responsible equally with any part of
bis argument. Less than one-quarter is
covered by his own words —as though he
had found difficulty in employing his pen
to divert a momentous and historic celebra
tion from tbe metropolis of America to a
provincial city. Those of bis sentences
which are not borrowed embody three
propositions in support of tbe claims of
Chicago:
First, tbat it is easy of access to farm
ers.
Second, that it is the choice of lumber
men, iron men and machinists.
Third, that several previous exhibitions
having been held in the oast and south, it is
now the turn of the west.
His argument reveals tb- scope of the
celebration bo has in view, and marks it as
a national, and not an international, exhi
bition. Ho thinks the first and last consid
eration should be tbe convenience of our
western population.
He proceeds to fasten upon his concep
tion of tbe Columbus fair a distinctively
agricultural cliaractor. It is tbe interest of
tho stock-breeders tbat chiefly appeals to
him. The solemnity of tbe senator’s dis
course is relieved by the incidental face
tiousnesa of the declaration that an eastern
man should visit Chicago annually, to be
“inoculated with tbe uurepressed enthus
iasm.”
If the senator will turn from the map of
Illinois to the map of the United States, he
will observe that Now York is the point
from which all lines radiate. New York is
the point of contact between America and
the nations of the earth. It stands in the
gateway tetween the new world and the
old. It is the place to which throe-fourths
of cur commerce is drawn, to which tbe
traveler visiting this hemisphere directs bis
course, and which in tbe thoughts and
writings of foreign communities, bo thev
high or low degree, stands as the type anil
center and head of everything pre
eminently American.
The senator from Illinois differs, how
ever, with tbo majority, and quotes a state
ment tbat “Chicago is tbs one purely aud
distinctively American city on this conti
nent.” In what, then, does it differ from
others! How is Chicago more distinctively
American than St. Louis? Seventy-Ova
years ago the sito of Chicago was a wilder
ness as silent as Manhattan Isb nd when
Hudson first beheld it. Like San Francisco,
its wealth came in a few years of • sudden
prosperity. Liko Boston, it rose superbly
from its ashes. Like all tiie rest of us, its
splendor is of recent growth—more recent,
indeed, than that of any othqr.
The senator further advances the archi
tectural magnificence of Chicago’s private
residences as a logical reason for placing
the great exhibition within their aureole.
Chicago is “the London of America,” pos
sessing “metropolitan imperialism” and
worthy of tbe designation of “the young
giant of the prairies.” Its houses, he de
clares, are "palaces.” We know them
well, those palaces, all of which were built
with borrowed money, und most of which,
to-day, are mortgaged from cornerstone to
skylight. \Ye know’ them well, those
palaces, where every sign of wealth
abounds, and where the front doer is
opened by a housemaid. We know them
well, those palaces, whose occupants are
"all out on the doorsteps,” as they used to
sit in New York, seventy years ago, when
our “palaces” were built on 25-foot-front
lots, aud when social life was primitive in
the extreme.
We, in New York, conceive the signifi
cance of this exhibition to be something
higher than lumber, iron nnd live stock.
\V e nlm to make it on historic examplar of
the last four centuries—to illustrate what
has been achieved in civilization since the
discovery of America. And os that dis
covery led on to still vastor explorations, to
the Horn and to the (Jape route, and
through all Chinese walls of Asiatic intoler
ance, and northward toward the frozen
pole, and southward aoross the forests of
Africa, so would we briug to this exhibi
tion, by all routes, and from the remotest
barbarism as from the most accomplished
civilization, the distinctive and character
istic feature of each.
If the Columbus exhibition be merely an
ordinary display of products and manufact
ures, it will fail of tbat suggestive mean
ing from which it should derive its pro
foundest import. Its graudest purpose, and
one far beyond mere material prosperitv,
should be to mark the progress made in the
civilization of all mankind since the discov
ery of this continent to the prosent day. in
that year, 1898, we should gauge the human
intellect by its achievements of the last four
hundred years. This exhibition
should display the advance made by
every country’ in the chief spheres
of thought and labor that have
liberated and instructed and ennobled the
human race. It should compare the
fifteenth with the nineteenth ce tury. It
should contrast the impotent ineol.auisms
of the past with the marvels of beauty aud
power and delicacy of the present. It
should station, iu view of the mighty
steamships that cross and recross the ocean,
tho caravel of mediaeval Italy, the galleon
of ancient Spain, the pinnace of Raleigh,
the half moon yacht of Hendrick Hudson.
It should place beside the pictured missals
of monkish cloisters the printing press, that
distributes each day’9 nows from every part
of the world. Beside the postchaise of
Franklin’s day, which carried the mails in
s x weeks from Boston to Philadelphia,
should stand one of the locomotives that
flies a train iu six days from ocean to ocean.
\V ithiii it should be gathered types of life
and industry from every section of the
union. Within it should be seen the homes
familiar to every part of this oontinout,
and recalling every age—tbe southern
plantation, the backwdodsman’s cabin, the
puritan’s house of the seven gables, the gold
miner’s camp, the Canadian trapper’s lodge,
tbe Dutch cottage of Diedrich Knicker
bocker, the wigwam of the Iroquois, tiie
Californian adobe, the ice hut of the
Esquimaux, aud back even to the sem
blance of the mound-builder’s inclosure. To
such an exhibition should be brought repre
sentatives from every tribe and nation of
the inhabited globe.
For over a century New York has held
not merely a material, but an historical
supremacy. The history of New York,
more than that of any other city, is the
history of the progress and development of
the whole country. In population, iu
wealth, in manufactures, in public work-, in
commercial relations, it is the capital of tho
union to-day. Chicago is an inland city,
far from the touch of foreign countries,
surrounded by its lumber, iron and live
stock, and unknown to Europeans, except
for • quizzical curodty wh ch its extraor
dinary growth inspires, and from a cir
cumstance tbat they read of it as a refuge
for tbeir own political outcasts, who go
thither, not as inhabitants, but as incendia
ries, to establish in it their socialistic fra
ternities, to manufacture anarchist botnb6,
and to hiss the American flag in public.
To render the Columbus exhibition suc
cessful it is indispensable that tho interest
of foreign lands be enlisted. Does the sen
ator think it nothing to ask French and
English manufacturers to send rare and
costly and perishable wares across the At
lantic? Does he think such exhibits will be
augmented in number and value by adding
to the sea voyage the risk and delay and
expense of laud transportation? Is it
not evident that the bulk of exhibits sent to
the ehore of Lake Michigan would be in
finately less than that sent thirteen years
ago to Philadelphia, beside the ocean? With
what are manufacturers abroad to be
tempted? Certainly not with tho prospect
of advertising their merchandise, for already
Americans are thrown among tfci m aid at e
the most extravagant buyers in every
European markot. Nor will prizes and
awards allure men who have already
reaped a harvest of medals and honorable
mentions. No, tho solo incentive that will
will bring foreign exhibitors is tho keen
rivalry of their own immediate competi
tors; and os, even then, tha motive must be
very urgent, and the risk and cost and dif
ficulty very slight, it may be confidently as
serted that the necessity of breaking bulk
between the place of shipment and the ex
hibition site, would be to them a conclusive
and fatal objection.
_ The senator’s argument in favor of
Chicago rests upon the mistaken premises
that an inland and prosaic city can be
made to appear accessible to distant coun
tries, aud attractive and of central import
ance. In the characteristics he ascribes to
the projected exhibition he pictures a county
fair on a vast scale and doubtless in accord
with the ideal and interest of the state of
Illinois. But this is all—and that is not
enough. For this anthem the note of a
Bingle instrument, however shrill its piping,
will not suffice. Only the full concert of
all nations, and tho strength and sweetuoss
and inspiration that all humanity may
bring, cau commemorate the debt that all
humanity owes to Christopher Columbus.
BOMBI VERY BIG WAGERS.
Enormous Sums Won and Lost on
English Races.
From the Fortnightly Review.
To give some idea of the extraordinary
wealth of men in this occcupation and the
way they obtain it, I may mention that
Davis lost £40,000 to Mr. Bowes, the owner
of Daniel O’Rourke, in one bet, when that
horse won the Derby. While at dinner tho
evening after tho race, Mr. Bowes expressed
some anxiety as to whether Davis would
be able to meet his engagement, for he
knew of others to whom he had lost largely,
and in fact Davis was said to be hard hit.
C. C. Greville being one of the guests at
the table that evening and hearing the
conversation, mentioned the circumstances
to Davis the next morning on the course,
who immediately wroto Mr. Bowes a check
for the amount aid gave it to him. This
wealth was made, aud tens of thousands of
pounds more, by small sums received at
tho list in shillings and half crowns by a
carpenter—tor this was once the daily
occupation of Dav.s, the greatest better
ever known.
AVe had then as owners of race horess,
the Dukes of Beaufort, Newcastle, and
Hamilton, Lord Stamford, and the indomi
table Marquis of Hast! gs, Messrs. Saville,
Chaplin, Sturt (now Lord Allington), Sirs
Frederick Johnstone and Hawley, all of
whom knew how and when to bet. Lord
Stamford lost over Hermit for the Derby
£70,000, and Lord Hastings did the same
thing, but on Lecturer for the Cesarewitch
the latter won £75,000, and he thought but
little of winning or losing £IO,OOO on a
race. If Lord George Bentinck could
fairly be called the Napoleon of the Turf
iu 1839, Lord Hastings was deservedly en
titled to the appellation in 1867, for he had
no superior iu the magnitude
and value of his stud
or tho price she gave for yearlings. He
paid Mr. Padwick £II,OOO tor Kangaroo.
His three 2 year olds—Lady Elizabeth, See
Saw and the Earl—were perhaps at one
time equal, to if not better than, Sir
Joseph Hawley’s trio—Blue Gown, Rosi
erucian and Green Sieves. Goodwood was
then at the bight of its prosperity with 36
races and 35 starters in a race. The Duke
of Beaufort, always one of the
best supporters of the turf, had
19 starters in one year at Goodwood and
won four races, which included both the
Cup, the Stakes, and Three Hundred
Sovereign Stakes won with Vaubeu. Tbe
Marquis of Hastings won the Levant and
rich Post Sweepstakes of three hundred
sovereigns each with Ines. These stakes
were run for at the Bibury aud Stock
bridge meetings. His lordship’s lucky star
was in the ascendant, aud the racing had
never been so good before. In tbe 33 racer
that wore run for, his horse started 34 times,
winning ten races of the value of £7,200.
AY’hether we look at bis gigantic betting
transactions or the number and value of his
horses and the stakes they won, it cannot
be denied that the Marquis of Hastings was
then the first man upon the turf. I may now
allude to yearlings and the price they then
fetched. At Middle Park about 1867, or
soon after, yearlings fetched ex
traordinary prices, as much as
1,500 guineas and 2,400 guineas were
given, and out of a lot one year the average
price was 500 guineas, or 20,0,9) guineas for
the forty, buch prioes no one thought
would be exceeded, or even ever reached
again. But prices have still gone up, aud
brood mares bave increased in value as
much as the yearlings, and, in fact, every
sort of race horse has augmented in
value in like proportion; till now over 3,000
guineas are given for a brood mare and
over 4,000 guineas for a yearling. Stallions
have fetched 16,000 guineas, 20,000 guineas
have beeu offered and refused for a horse
m training, and 5,000 guineas was a sum
not sufficiently attractive to secure a year
ling that was offered for ” sale
by private contract this year.
* * But these facts and figures,
gigantic and surprising as they are,
dwindle into utter insignificance when com
pared with tho value of Hermit. This won
derful and lucky horse stands alone as a
race horse and stallion, for Hermit has won
in stakes aud bets for his fortunate owner,
Mr. Cnaplain, somewhere about £150,000,
and has since earned at the stud at least as
much more, and may still further augment
this almost incredible sum. Again, Dono
van, up to the present time, lias won in
stakes more than any other horse ever did,
and may, and most likely will, add many
more thousands to his record. He
has already secured £39,962, and
may yet even surpass the mighty
deeds of Hermit at tho stud, as
he has triumphed over bis performance on
the race course. Ayrshire, another lucky
horse, has won for the same ducal owner
nearly as much as Donovan himself, having
secured in slakes alone over £30,000 up to
tho present date, and may, like him, yet
increase largely this magnificent sum before
his racing career is terminated, and after
ward be at the stud os great a success as
either of the two extraordinary horses I
have just mentioned. These few casus, to
which many others may be added, will
show us the present value of our race
horses, and how greatly it exceeds the
worth of those of auy other age or country.
The work of attending to trees in the Paris
avenues, boulevards and parks is in charge of
216 men. who ore headed by a sub-engineer and
two forest inspectors, and whose work costs
375,000 francs annually. Their work, however,
does not include the Bois de Boulogne, which
alone eutuns an annual expeuse of 550,000
francs, half of which goes in salaries to the
guards, gardeners and workmen; nor does it
comprise tiie Bois de Vincennes, which costs
every year 370,000 francs.
BREAKING NEW GROUND.
MRS. FLORENCE ELIZABETH CORY
THE FIRST WOMAN DESIGNER.
Ehe Surprised the Carpet Companies
by Offering Practical Patterns—Her
Succees Encouraging Other Women
to Explore the Fields of Industrial
Design.
(Copvriaht.i
New York, Not. 10. —The story of how
industrial design has opened a door to pav
ing occupations for womeu may prove of
interest to many although they have not
the advantage of hearing it as I did from
tho Jip3 of the one who first found the key
aud turned the kuob and entered into the
treasure store room. Mrs. Florence
Elizabeth Cory was the first woman de
signer in the country. Both as artist-arti
san and as teacher of tho school of indus
trial arts and technical design she has
placed herself at the head of the industry,
and, in fact, it is she who to a largo extent
has created the industry as such for women.
“My case,” said she yesterday,” was a
typical one. With a baby to take care of,
I could paint a little, sing a little for the
amusement of my friends, jabber a little
French very ungrammatically, .and do
nothing at all well enough to earn a main
tenance for myself and my child.
"One day wnile calling on a friend I hap
pened to notice her carpet; it was very
ugly one. ‘lf I made carpets I would make
prettier ones’ was my reflection and like an
inspiration came the thought and ‘I will
design them.’
“No one of my acquaintances, no book
that I could come by gave me any informa
tion, but it was the year after the centen
nial exposition at Philadelphia, and while
running over some old numbers of t rank
Leslie's to amuse my little girl with the
pictures I came upon a description of the
carpet department, with illustrations. The
Hartford, Yonkers and Lowell mills were
represented, and choosing the Hartford
Carpet Company at random I wrote a letter
asking if designs were merchantable articles,
what prices were paid for them, what sorts
of paper they were made on, and if there
were any color restrictions.
“Mr. Martin, the New York agent of the
company, sont me a most encouraging an
swer. No woman, he said, had ever de
signed carpets, but as a woman ought to be
ablo to judge of the tastes of other women
bethought it might be a most excellent
idea. \\ ith his letter came several sample
designs, tho first things of the sort I had
ever seen. I studied them, then I exami
ned every carpet in the house on hands and
knees, picked pieces of carpeting to pieces
and found out several things. Then I
made a design and sent it to Mr. Martin.
He returned it as not pretty enough to be
taking, but wi oto that it was practical, ami
showed enough aptitude for the business to
warrant tne in persevering.
“I made more designs and took them to
Mr. Barber, of the Auburn Mills. He
laughed at tbe notion of wasting his time
on a woman on such an errand, but when I
spread my samples before him, he asked
‘ W here did you ltjarn this, who taught you
that?’ and onded by buying one for S3O, the
first money I had ever earned.
"My next step wss to get admission to the
art school at Cooper Institute, whore I was
told that I could learn the art of designing
but my heart failed me when I discoverer!
almost at the first le son that the teachers
knew less of practical carpet designing
than I had been able to find out alone. They
taught the art prir oiples applying to de
sigu and taught them intelligently, but of
the technical points to be observed in mak
ing a pattern which might be beautiful in
itself also possible for the looms, they were
wholly ignorant.”
“That their designs are pretty but not
practical is the usual criticism that has
been passed, has it not, by manufacturers
on women?”
“How could it be otherwise? The men
designers learn in the mills. They go in as
boys to grind colors. They are promoted
to fill in backgrounds for the draughtsmen
then they are set to copy and adapt, and
little by little to originate under a design
er’s eye. There was no teaching whatever
to be had by woman. Tho mills didn’t
want them as apprentices and no school
existed which made any account of mail
machinery.
“Iu fact.no school in the east of which I
know is now teaching practical design.
The wife of a wealthy wall paper manufac
turer in Philadelphia attended one of the
best known. She has artistic talent and at
tho annual exhibition her design took the
first prize. It was a beautiful thing, but
when, being a practical woman,
she tested its merits by taking
it, not to her husband, but
to a factory w here she was not known they
told hor it was of no use; she hai not been
taught how many colors she could use, how
the colors should fall, the dimensions or in
deed anything that would enable her to
judge whether her patterns could actually
be priuted by machinery. So many
women are disappointed because after giv
ing their time and money they find that
while they aro taught drawing they are
not taught design as applied practically to
any single manufactured article.”
“And what did you do?”
“I hauuted the carpet stores. Being a
woman the clerks had no suspicion that I
was anything but a possible buyer aud
showed me everything that was new. I
jotted down schemes of color and notes of
pattern and worked out many of :ny own
problems. By and by I got hold of a copy
of the Carpet Trade Review and got the
address of Mr. Kendal, then, I think, its
editor, and .the agent of Bigelow
Carpet Company. His kindness took
a thoroughly practical form.
On the day after my visit his head designer
called on me and taking pencil and paper
sat down and gave me my first useful car
pet lesson. Mr. Kendal also gave me a
noto to the.head designer of a large carpet
factory iu the city and there, though it
amused tho mau at first that a woman
should bo interested in anything but dresses
and bonnets, I was allowed to examine the
machinery, and, peraaps because of the
very novelty of the idea, six weeks’ free
instruction was offered me.”
Having made a carpet designer of her
self by that overmastering desire and per
sistent effort which somebody has said to
gether constitute genius, Mis. Cory was
at once engaged as teacher at Cooper In
stitute of wbat she had herself come there
to learn; but, her health failing through
over-exertion, she went west and it was
not until three or four years later that she
returned to Now York and established her
self as a practical designer, succeeding so
well that she had presently more work than
she could attend to.
Speaking from her own experience, she
sayß that not only is sex no obstacle to a
woman’s success as a designer, but the time
is coming, she thiuks, when it will be a
positive advantage. The prices received
by women for their work aro precisely tho
same as t-lose given by men, and with the
growth of technical experience on the part
of women, manufacturers will come to
place greater ami greater dependence on
them in matters pertaining to house and
personal ornamentation.
Young girls who start as copyists and
adapters sometimes receive $8 a week, but
sl2 and sls are commoner prices. An ex
pereticed ties gner of average ability re
ceives from S2O to $25, while S3O for a
good workwoman is not unusual. There
is room to work up to from #2,000 to $5,000
places ns head designers in the large fac
tories, but only one house in New York as
yet employs a woman—one of Mrs. Cory’s
pupils —in such a responsible capacity. Five
other women designers are at work for
another great carpet house. One young
womau is making a fine iucome as de
signer of "Smyrna” rugs for Philadel
phia and New York factories. One woman
designs for a lace mill, and others
who prefer, or are obliged to work at home
sells designs to different manufacturers,
doing better when they have a streak of
luck than salaried woman, as did one girl
who made SSOO in the few week* imme
d.ately preceding Christmas last year, and
•wo others who took their first carpet pat
tern* down town and disposed of $l6O
worth in an afternoon: though
of course, is subject to fluctuation*. Mrs.
Cory estimate* the number of women who
have come under her personal observation
who have succesdad in establishing them
selves at thirty to forty, several of whom
have gone south, where the growth of new
industries and the progressive demand for
the latest and best opens a field for
trained designers.
Carpet designing is tbe most difficult
branch of industrial art as applied to tex
tiles, and the furnishing of a working de
sign, involving the operation known tech
nically as “putting it on the lines” is trying
to the eye* and the patience, but is well
paid. This is not always done by the de
signer, but the well equipped woman must
know how. The variety of work which toe
luxuries and necessities of civilization offer
to women who are at once artistic
and practical increases every
day. The Japanese designs
for scarf ends, etc., which are in so much
demand for draperies are beginning to be
furnished by New York girls instead of by
almond-eyel artists in the land of the
Mikado. Enterprising people have dis
covered that Japanesque designs
by these same clever women take
better than tbe foreign article, and so
the sketches are exported, the embroidery
or color printing done in Japan on the
beautiful eastern silk, and by the patieut
eastern artist, and tbeu the finished articles
are imported as of genuine Japanese manu
facture.
It is the same with the Carlsbad chinas.
Thu German designs are not especially well
liked in this country, and New York giris
are furnishing the patterns which are sent
to Carlsbad to be reproduced in the potter
ies for sale to the American trade.
Tha Scotch table linen offers another ex
ample. Two or three women designers
recently furnished to a Dundee manufac
turer fifteen patterns for table cloths and
eighteen or twenty for napkins, which he
pronounced the most beautiful he had eyer
seen and sure to take with his home as well
as foreign trade.
A manufacturer of linen window shades
has recently offered *I,OOO in prizes for
designs to bo competed for by women.
Women are designing borders for handker
chiefs and getting out extremely pretty
things in the printed art silks used in home
decoration, and in sateens and other dress
goods. Women are designing for a ribbon
mill in Newark and for mills which make
fancy striped towels. Oil cloths
and linoleums, of course, offer a
good deal of a field, and very artistic
designs iu wall papers and ceiling papers
have been shown me as the work of women.
The renaissance of fans ha3 called out de
signers of fan mounts and one girl makes a
good thing out of furnishing sketches for
book covers for Funk & Wagnails and
other publishers. Where one woman has
shown the road many are quick to follow,
for nothing interests women more at pres
ent than new and practicable money mak
ing occupations.

The Tragedy of a Talisman.
From the Hew York Sun.
It was night in the white house. The
only sound was the scarcely audible click
tick that faiutly smote the ear with monot
onous regularity. This came not from the
corner clock, for it had stopped at half-past
two, nor was it the note or a death watch
nested somewhere in the walls of the vener
able mansion. The ticking proceeded from
a telegraph instrument which had been
struggling for hours to tell the full story of
disaster.
Night in the white house, but what a
night! Hours earlier the faithful ’Lige
had stolen off to bed, confessing that his
tortured brain could no longer stand the
tick-click of that demon magnet. One by
one the members of the little group had de
parted, each on tiptoe and without a word
of farewell, and each closing the door softly
behind him, os friends do as they pass
mutely out of the presence of one greatly
afflicted. Wanamaker only had turnod his
face and smiled. It was iutouded to ex
pre s all the offices of Christian consolation,
nut it was not noticod or appreciated.
Silence now everywhere, except the tick
ciick-tick of tho abandoned instrument.
Even the voice of Baby McKee was hushed
iu the awful stillness of 2:45 o’clock in the
morning.
Night in the white house, and one man
awake and alone. He sat in a great easy
chair, his elbows on its arms, and his head
bowed down and tightly clasped between
clawing fingers. His figure was rather im
posing as he sat in the chair, but when he
got up aud began to pace the room with
restless tread, it might be observed that his
legs were uncommonly short for his size.
And now something happened which was
evidently the consummation of a purpose
long deliberated in that midnight agony.
The u.au went straight to the great cabi
net of carven oak between the windows of
the room. W ith a small key of curious
workmanship he unlocked the central com
partment and took therefrom an auiorpb ous
and rather bulky parcel, iu tissue paper,
tied with a piuk string. He nervously
broke the string aud tore off layer altar
layer of the enwrapping substance. Then a
famt, musty odor stole out into the room,
as when oue opens a long-closed chest iu
some back garret; and the man held iu his
hands a shabby black hat of cylindrical
shape and of tho fashion of half a century
ago.
Ho glared fiercely for a moment at this
inanimate and unresisting object, then
placed it on the floor, and, stepping back a
few feet, shook his clenched fist at the old
hat.
“ you!” were his exact words.
It was a Presbyterian oath, and tbe re
cording angel, iu noting the circumstance,
dropped a tear upon tho page and blotted
Benjamin Harrison’s first forever
from the record. *
Tbe telegraph instrument ticked once or
twice, and ail was still again. The hat
crouched helpless at the feet of its owner.
Its very helplessuess was a mute appeal,
but the fury of the man grew as he contem
plated the grotesque, old-fashioned object.
“Tick-click-tick, tick, tick”-—he started
and looked around him as if the devil him
self had just whispered in his ear the sug
gestion of a terrible deed.
Then, with his features distorted almost
beyond recognition by an uncontrollable
passion, his limbs quivering with the im
pulse of a deadly purpo e, Benjamin Har
rison, twenty-third President of the United
States, suddenly shot up into the air with
an agility surprising in so snort-legged a
person, and descended heols down, square
on the top of the doomed relic and dis
carded talisman.
And as tho shape and soul went together
out of the once venerated form, as it was
crushed down into an unrecognizable wad
of pasteboard, hide and hair, an agonizing
cry was heard through the corridors of tho
white bouse. Was it the soul of the rnur
dored talisman, or was it only Baby
McKee, wakened by dream or colic?
