"A Day With the President at His Desk" for the March Ladies' Home Journal. The article is said to be singularly inter esting in the detail with which it describes the wearisome routine of the President. It is said that General Harrison , in this article , has delivered himself with great directness and vigor , relative to the an noyances that are visited upon a chief executive by persistent office-seekers , and he suggests a unique plan , by which the President's burdens in that direction could be greatly lightened , and he be enabled to devote more attention to more important matters. "A Day With the President at His Desk" is unique in be ing the first time that the daily life of the President has been described by one who has filled the exalted office. Hog Fencing.

Other Towns Calling for a Share of it. \ The union evangelistic meetings which are being held iu McCook are a part of a developing campaign which began in Hastings in November. The ministers and leading members of the churches of Hastings saw the great blessing which came from a uuited effort on the part of all the ministers of that place finder tbei leanership of Major Cole. Iu their meet ings during more than nine weeks there was much consideration and prayer over the very needy parts of Nebraska. The prevailing conditions and extreme needs brought a very great burden of prayer to the Christian workers of Hastings. The difficulties in the way of securing union meeting * iu the smaller cities and towns were discussed and the great need of se curing such united effort , as a condition of securing the largest blessing of the Holy Spirit , was clearly seen. It was the unanimous judgment of the ministers of Hastings that a great campaign in these most needy parts could be developed un der Major Cole. Notwithstanding the urgent calls of the united churches of Omaha , Kansas City , Kansas , and other cities , the Major said his heart was drawn towards the more needy towns of Ne braska and he said he would go to them rather than to the cities , as he felt the call of God in that direction. He passed from Hastings with its ten or twelve thousand population to a little town of less than one hundred population and htid 50convetsions iu one week , then tea a town ol about ioo population and had 92 conversions , then to Holdrege where in less than five weeks there have been 375 conversions. In Hastings and Hol drege leading lawyers , physicians and business nun have been converted and become verv active Christians. Those places have been transformed in spirit. An interesting feature of the campaign is that while Holdrege has only about 2,500 population ns compared with the much larger population of Hastings a much largtr work has been done therein less than one-half of the time that was j given to Hastings. The interest devel oped more rapidly at Holdrege. And it mity be said that the interest is develop ing more rapidly at McCook than it did at Holdrege. The condition is more promising at McCook than it was at the same stage of development at Hoidrege. The campaign is developing with an ac celerated rate of progress. After nine weeks and three days Major Cole started out of Hastings with 330conversionsand six or seven hundred Christian people stood on their feet promising to follow the Major with their prayers. In less than six weeks the number of conver sions in the towns reached thus far is 885. The movement has come to the atteution of all Nebraska and most" of the towns in Southwestern Nebraska and many towns in Eastern Nebraska are calling for , a share in the campaign with its accumulating blessings. The Voice , as old , seems to be coming to the Christ ians of Nebraska , saying , "Lift up your eyes upon the fields , for they are white already unto the harvest" . The campaign has reached McCook with accumulated force and is develop ing with increasing rapiditj. This is the opportunity far the churches of McCook to co-operate with Major Cole in perfect harmony and the most enthusiastic , self- sacrificing service in order to secure the largest blessing for McCook and pass the movement on in an accelerated rate of development.

BONHEUR'S FIRST SUCCESS. With Fortune's Favoring ; Smile Came an Offer of Marriage. Rosa Bonheur gives nu interesting account of her first success as an artist in her article ! "Tho Story of My Life , " in The Ladies' Homo Journal. "To bet ter study nature , so aa to impregnate myself with it , " Bhe says , "I passed whole days at the slaughter house of the Ronlo in Paris. Ouo must bo truly de voted to one's art to live in the midst of such horrors and in such coarse com pany. The men were surprised to see a young woman interested in such things and wore disposed to make ifc disa greeable for me. But providence never abandons those who strive to do well , and came to my aid in the person of good old M. Emilo , a Hercules in force and physiqie , who declared that ho would take it upon himself to adminis ter a good lesson to the first one who behaved rudely toward me. From that time I worked without further annoy ance. The position that my protector occupied was that of scalder and dresser of calves' heads. Seeing how frugally I breakfasted , ho often invited me homo with him , and there , surrounded by the carious implements that served him in his profession , his wife , as good and honest as himself , made me partake of many a comforting meal. "At last fortune smiled on me. M. Tedesco , the picture dealer , bought ouo of my canvases. The secretary of fine arts commissioned me to copy a picture a 'Plight Into Egypt , * I forget by whom and I painted another picture , 'The Shepherd and His Flock Seeking Refuge From the Storm , ' which I sold well , and , lastly , to crown all these hap py successes , I was asked iu marriage by a druggist. As the drag store had no attraction for me I refused. My father's position had improved also- but death overtook him very soon after this bright ening up of our prospects. " An Etching ; of a Busy Town. "Bay-bee , bay-bee ? " called the grimy faced urchin coaxingly. The baby with the white coat and the kid gloves looked sidewise toward the . curb. Its mother was ouo of the crowd , ' in front of the store window and looking - I \ ing at a perfect love of a bonnet. ] "Bay-bee , bay-bee ? " came the invitation - 1 tion again. § ' Totteringly the baby approached the \ curb and smiled trustfully up at the dingy face. The urchin dropped down on his ragged knees , laid the papers he : was selling on the pavement and patted ± the little kid glove with his red , dirty \ little hand. "Pretty bay-bee ! " ho said , j t Just then the mother turned , ran \ \ across the pavement and dragged the | jj baby back. "How dare you touch her , ? I you dirty little good for nothing ! " she < said. said.The The urchin grasped his bundle of pa pers and rose , digging his too into the dirt of the gutter shamefacedly. "Aw g'wan ! " he said sullenly. New York Press. Ho Was Sure. "Drummers , " sometimes called com mercial travellers , are , like ministers and doctors , fond of chaffing each other. "I've a great story to tell you , boys , " said a drummer to a group in the corri dor of the Iroquois last night. "I don't think any of you ever heard me tell it before. " "Is it a really good story ? " asked one of the party doubtingly. "Ifc certainly is. " "Then I'm sure you never told it be fore. " Buffalo Times. Buckle's Literary IMonnmcnt.
