Tho talo dates back to tho first quar

and four Httlo girls loved him dearly.
They wnntcd to buy him n cloak, for
he had no protection ngalnst tho kcon
Andovor winter. They racked tholr
brains for ways and means. Thoy sold
lamplighters. Thoy nindo a patchwork

ngrco to lot her "mako remarks" to
them on tho book, ulio would Incrcaso

aftornoons with Mrs. Porter and "Solf

Tho number of deaths during tho

Tho Ilrnt man to f;ll slnco tho open

Edmund W. PcttUB, expired. Decem
ber 23, 1007, Stephen R. Mallory ot
Florida passed away. His successor
was William J. Bryan, who died last
March. Asbury C. Latimer of South
Carolina died February 20, 1908, and
March 4, 1908, Rcdflcld Proctor of
Vermont was added to tho death roll.
Tho next victim was William P. Whlto
or Maryland. Tho last and most Illus
trious of all was William D. Allison of
Iowa, tho undisputed leader ot tho
upper house.
A notlccablo foaturo In tho long roll
of doaths was tho fact that most of

Pottus was 8G years old; Sonator

Whon Mr. Roosovelt first came to
Washington, Dr. Schick, pastor of tho
Gorman Reformed congregation, which
occupied a modest little building hard

nnd snld that as there was no Dutch
Reformed church In Washington, ho
would bo pleasod If Mr. Roosevelt
would worship with his flock.
Mr. Roosovelt was not then presi

of the congregation say that President
Roosovelt has a liking for certain
hymns nnd that. ho joins lustily in tho
singing of them. Thoro is no choir In
Dr. Schick's church, tho music being
rendered entirely by tho congregation,
led by the prccontor.
It Is thought that If Dr. Schick's at-

It may seem folly o pay four dollars
for a slnglo artificial roso, yet that Is
whnt fashion is doing, nnd tho ribbon

"Tho koynoto or tho year Is slmplo

Truly It looked so. It was a turban,
