ti VOL. XVI. •j c^dit Refused To Mrs. Cleveland, ' Washington, Nov. 2?':—The re¬ ! rua liable spectacle of a big dry 8 00 ds firm refusing credit to the 1 of the White House ! mistress ff as witnessed by a throng of . r shoppers several days ago. The affair has thus far been kept out of the papers, though it was whispered around among the friends of the people who were gathered about the coun¬ ter at the time the incident cc enred in one of the stores on Punsylvaliia avenue. While the usual crowd of bar¬ gain seekers were making their purchases.the President’s car¬ riage drew up in front of the establishment. Mrs. Cleveland’s maid alighted and went inside. Stepping toward the counter where children’s dress goods were displayed, she looked over the goods 1 Then selecting several dress patterns she handed the ejerk a note beariug the engraved in¬ scription, “Executive Mansion.” Smilingly, she said; “Mrs. Cleveland said to charge to the President. There was a moment’s hesi¬ tation. The clerk beckoned to the proprietor, and together they talked in low tones' Finally the clerk turned around and stammeringly said. “I am sorry, but it is strictly against our rules to charge goods. I assure you”—he be¬ gan, but was interrudted by the maid, who, with flashing eyes, in an excited manner, exclaimed: “What, you refuse to give credit to the Presidont of the United States?” All eyes were turned toward the girl, who stood staring at the clerk. “We do not exactly refuse to give credit to the President; but, you see, we do not open b>ok account.” •‘Then you doubt my coming from the White House, do you?” “Not ot all; we ouiy regret not being able to comply with Mrs. Cleveland’r request.” The maid to the most popular woman in America turned from the counter and rapidly made her way to the White House a*' i I I m Y- m U m £ 1 FOR THE ASKING OF OUR fGLNTS % A SAMPLE COPY » OF TH- m M “Southern Home Journo!” 9 Ira Ej An Illustrated Story 5 love, adventure Paper of and MYSTERY.

We long ago found it safer to abolish the credit system and go on a ‘pay one pay all.’ plan. This we were forced to do for our own protection. It is hard enough to collect bills anyway. t i So far as distinguished peo¬ ple are concerned, we have found that they are able to avoid payments, for there is a ‘code of etiquette’ absolving them from the harassing col¬ lector. “However, it was not that we did not believe the White House exchequer is adequate to pay all legitimate bills, but a rule which applies to one, should be enforced without dis¬ crimination.” Who Is A Brother. He who cheerfully comes in when all the world has gone out. Who weeps with you when the laughter world is av/ay • He who considers your need before your deserviugs. He who understands your silence. He who rejoices at your good fortune, condemns your faults sympathizes with your sorrows, is at hand to help in misfortune, and a safe fortress in trouble. He who when he reaches the top of the ladder, does not for¬ get you, if you are at the bot¬ tom. Ile who to himself is true, and tnerefore, must be so to you. He who is the same today, when prosperity smiles upon you, and to-morrow when ad¬ versity and sorrow come - He who guards your interests as his own, neither flatters nor deceives, gives just praise to your good deeds aDd equally condemns your bad acts. He who is the same to you in the society of the wealthy aud proud, as in the solitude of poverty: whose cheerful smile sheds sunshine in every com pany He who will oe a balance in the see saw of life.

Dr. Stewart is perfectly devoted to the people of his county aud senatorial district. He is a grand old-time gentleman hicrhlv esteemed by all the sen ators and represenatives.
