They all Like Archie.
March eighth's bulletins from
the "White house sick room have
been more cheerful , but the keen
anxiety felt here has not been re
lieved. Diphtheria is a treacher
ous disease and the president has
been thoroughly exposed , Mrs.
Roosevelt has been constantly at
her child's bedside and Quentin
and Ethel share the same danger.
However , later reports say that
Archie is out of danger , and on
the road to recovery.
This boy , within his little cir
cle , has won a popularity of his
own as strong as that of his
father and as catholic , for it em
braces statesmen and policemen ,
diplomats and jackies of the navy ,
senators and messengers , the sons
of the great and butcher's boy.
And the traits which have won
for the son something of the same
affection in which the father is
held are his father's traits , good
nature , bright courage , simple
pure democracy of spirit and
whole hearted loyalty.
Archie has been ever a ring
leader in the wholesome mischief
that has proved the White house
youngsters so typical of robust
spirited American "kids. " ' Quite
recently the elaborate and digni
fied ceremonial of presenting tin
British ambassador in full uni
\
form to the president of tin
United States was temporarily
interrupted for a warm exchangi
of snowballs between Archil
Roosevelt and a. grown up clmn
of his , who happened for tin
moment to be wearing a swon
and eleven pounds of gold lac <
and decorations. One day las
winter visitors at the executiv <
offices found the approach skill
fully decorated with a fortifica
tion , on the construction of whicl
some grinning engineer office
had given "General' * Archil
Roosevelt points. Mr. Garfiel <
and several members of the tenni
cabinet and regular cabinet hai

cept their tried friends , who en

before mere acquaintances an

their merry selves with their
chums.
Secretary Garfield is one of
their chums. One hot summer
evening he told at the White
house table of a prank the little
Garfield boys played at the White
house on such a night. The
Garhcld urchins slipped out se
cretly and went swimming in the
big fountain behind the White
house , The Roosevelt youngsters
listened eagerly and the next
morning the servants discovered
wet pajamas all about the nurse
ry. Since then Mr. Garfield has
been more careful in reciting his
reminiscences. The pests of
Archie's life and of the rest of
the children have been photogra
phers and women tourists who
wanted to kiss .them. Whenever
the latter see 'Archie there are
cries of "the dear little fellow ;
sn't he just too sweet. " Archie
uns , deep disgust on every line
f his face. He doesn't like to be
icssed with by a lot of gushy , if
veil meaning , women any better
ban any other self respecting
boy , who feels that he is pretty
icar a man.
A crowd of women school tcach-
rs "doing Washington" did cor
al Archie in the east room onfce ,
(
ind he climbed frantically to
afety out of the window , to the
grinning amusement of ushers
ml policemen. It was Archie
vhosaw the possibilities of the
errace roofs for a roller skating
ink and threw that sacred terri-
ory open to a small horde of his
mblic school companions. It
vas turious fun while it lasted ,
but the din was so terrific that
he president had to interfere in
rder that cabinet meetings could
be conducted without mega
phones. But Archie brought his
kates down to the ground and
ic made the paved walks withir
he White house fence rattle unti'
ic was taken ill. Now and then
when things were quiet , he wouh
jurst into the executive office ;
with a whirr of rollers and glide
aughing out again before some'
jody in authority had timetocrj

and rides him on occasion.
Archie is rather short am
slight for his age , but he is stronj

of Washington when he wa
taken ill. But he clings to hi

The Panic of "Black Friday. "
The recent Wall street panic
as recalled ) of course , the famous
'Black Friday" of 18f. < ) . But one
liing that added to the dramatic
ffect of that day nearly forty
cars ago was the connection
vith it of the president of the
United States a connectionhow
ver , that reflected on his sense
f propriety rather than on his
onesty. For though General
Irani was frankly da/.glcd by
uch financial pirates as James
Msk , jr. . and Jay Gould , they did
ot corruptly control him.
Fisk and , Gould had recently
btaincd control of the Erie rail-
oad. They had transferred its
eadejuartcrs to a marble palace
p town in New York , which
hey furnished with barbaric
plendor. In the same building
vas an opera house in which low
lass performances were given.
7isk lived in an adjoining house

stablishnient , as somebody has
vritten , "was not disturbed by
uoral prejudices.1' Yet Grant
vas willing to be publicly cnter-
aincel by these men while in
ew York , and the prestige
vhich they secured in consequence
iclped in their operations.
At this time gold was at a pre-
uium and prices and wages were
11 in paper currency. In August ,
S69 , Gould formed a pool for the
mrchase of gold in order to put
he price up. It Was necessary ,

MARRYING
MY PA OFF
By MERCER VEKNON ,
( CopyrlRht. \ > y Dolly Story rub. Co. )
They say I'll ho in love sonic day.
Jut T don't know. I'n was in love
nee but he's married now. And
hey say "It's n wise son that knows
iis own fntlier. " I thought I was
'wise" until cupid's durta begim to
rorry pa ; then ho didn't seem like
ho sanio nmn.
But it wasn't pa's fault he got
named. Pa's awful handsome.
\ny man that's handsome and u ,
viclowcr and has plenty of money
ms n pretty hard time to keep from
etting married. All the un-
nanncd women in ( own tire after
lim. At least , ilioy were all after
.
And , then , he tried to blame it on
no he said I needed , a homo and
omconc to look after me , and all
hat sort of rot. Of course Hint
ncnnt he'd have to get married. I
aught on in a minute. I knew who
10 had his eye on. She's been aw-
Itilly good to mo lately.
I suppose pa thought 1 was easy.
Jut T just fooled him. 1 told him
' . guessed wo could , get along all
right the way wo were.
"But " said he. "If
, my boy , you
md a homo you could liavo a dog. "
I told him I didn't earo much for
logs any more.
"Well , then , you could have a
) ony. "
"Nope , " says 1 , " 1 don't like
ponies , either. But say , pop , how
about an automobile ? "
'Til tell you , my boy. if you'll he
real sensible , and try to do things to
please me , I'll get you an automo
bile. "
T. knew what that meant but ,
: hen , I'd do anything for an auto
mobile.
"All right , pop , " says I. "I
: hink it would bo bully to keep
iousc. And then you'd have some
one to look after yon when 3-011 got
sick. '
"That's the way 1 like to hear you
talk , my boy , " paid he.
"Give me | i nickel , pa ? " "
I knew I had him over a barrel ,
and he knew it too , so ho ponied
np without oven asking mo what ]
wanted it for.
Pa and J lived in n hotel and hit
"girl" lived in a flat across the
street. He and 1 always took n
walk after dinner. Hut when he
got ready that evening I told him
I was tired and that ho'd better get
Miss Jane that was his "girl"
and take her out for a walk. II (
patted me on the shoulder and said
he was sorry J didn't feel like go >
ing , and that's the last I saw oi
him that itvening.
But after that he began goinj
to ! Miss ilnno's every evening. I go
tired of slaying alone so I bcgai
going with him. I guess this wasn'
very satisfactory to him but "
liked it pretty well. One evening In
gave me a quarter ( bet he though
it was a nickel ) and told mo I' <
better go over to the hotel ,
Pa always said 1 had a good hoa <
for business , so after that I mad
him this proposition : Pd go bad
to the hotel.
At nine o'clock for 25 cents ;
At ten o'clock for 15 cents ;
At 1 ] o'clock for ten cents.
J inado 25 rents pretty nearl
every night that Avay.
Then one night they went on
walking and left me at Miss .Jaiie'i
T guess they had a falling out , IK
cause they hadn't been gone Ion
before they came back. I 'a opene
the door and let Miss Janc in an
then went away. This port of MII
prised Miss Jane slit- thought li
was coming in. She began to Imw
1 told her i ( would be all right son1
day. She paid she just knew p4if
never come back. T supposed a
girls liked something romantic E
I told Miss Jane that maybe pa'
go jump in the bay like another dii
appointed lover had done that sun
mcr. But Hint didn't seem to cho <
her up very much , because si
bawled some more.
Then came the most disgiistii !
part of all. Pa came lack ! I nevi
thought pa'cl bo such a wcak-kne (
sister as that. You bet your boots
won't be the first ono to make t
when I get mad at my girl. IJ
just stny mail , and tell her tin
there's lots of other girls , and the
she'll run after me and beg me n
to go away , and then I'll tell h
I'll think it over , and after whi
I'll tell her I'll give her anoth
chance. That's what pa should
have done ,
But anyway , ho didn't and , to
make matters worse , lie Paid ho had
como after me me mo that had
been nblo to go homo alone every
night for the last month. That
made me sick. So T just told him
to coma along and grabbed up my
lint and started for the door. But
he didn't secern to want to come , So
T went hack and pat down. But you
bet your boots ho didn't get u chance
to make up with Miss , Tanc. Sim
sat oil' in a corner reading a paper ,
and 1 kept talking and talking to
pa , and 1 made him tend three of
iTennypon's poems and loin of other
stuff , and pretty soon he grabbed up
his hat and told me we were going
over to the hotel. After I got into
bed pa said ho'd forgotten some
thing over ut .Mips ,1 line's , so he Avont
back after it , It look him an hour
to liml it , whatever it was.
The next day ho began talking
again aboul tin1 home question. Ho
asked mo who I'd like for u step
mother. Of oourflo he thought I
would say Miss .Fane first thing
hut I just thought I'd have a little
fun with him.
"I think Mips Maud would be
nice , " said 1. Mi.4 Maud was ouo
t > f his lady I'ricndH. "ITow would
you like her , pa r"
"Oh , fairly well , " said he. "But
can't you think of someone clso ? "
'Well how aboul , Miss'Harrietto
' and she's ! rich , too. "
"Monoy isn't everything , my
fon. "
"I can't just think of anvono else
I'd like , " said I.
Poor pa didn't say anything more
fihout it that evening. But ono dayf
lie said : "Miss Jane | hinks a lot' '
of you , my boy. "
"DooB she ? " said 1.
"Yes ; she says you're the nicest
little fellow she knows. "
"Whero do you come in at , pa ? "

"Well , " said I ; I thought I'd say
something to please pa for once

by asking me how I'd like Miss , Tane

"I Hiiiik she's line/ ' says 1. "But

"Oh , of course , " said pa.
"Have you popped the question ,

Pa left me in a hurry. Tim last
[ saw of him ho was Hying aoross

didn't bhow up for dinner that evening -

arm and sat on the Hoof in a heap.
When I came into the room Mass
Jane was as red as a beet. They
both looked awful happy and pa was
all perspiring. [ knew what was
up , so 1 went over and took one of
Miss .Jane's hands and ono of pa's
in mine and said : "Blessings upon
