A man , apparently slightly past miidie
life , whoso hair was tinged with gray and
noticcahly thin on top , sat near me at a
tl.ratcr , says a writer In the New York Her
ald. As the curtain rose for the first time
a spectacled man of about the same age
entered and occupied the' vacant seat lie-
tueen us. Ho looked at the other ll.\odly.
The look was exchanged , and In a eecond
each had the other cordially by the hand.
The conversation told that they had been
schoolmates who had not met In many years.
"IJy Jove , Charlie ! " exclaimed the llr t ,
"It does HIEgooj to see yon. You haven't
changed much more than I have , and I am
not a day older than when we got our di
plomas. "
"I can't qulle agree with you , Tom , " an
swered the other , "but I don't fed very old
yet. I see you Btlll enjoy Ihe theater , and
expect you have kept up your literary last's

pasl thirty years.
"Thirty years ! " repealed Tom. "How the
years fly ! Do you remcmbtr now they used
to drat ; ? Theaters ! Well , I do go now and
then , but the plays and acting are not whut

"Tom , old boy. " repllcl the othrr , "you

This was the story Colonel Timothy Dlalr

claret-complexloncil Timothy niair , who indeed -

when you came in for your glass. She told
one day how Infamous was the hanging of
Major Huddy by the Jersey lories on Middle-

horrid was General Washington- holding
Captain Asglll In retaliation. Captain Asglll
was such a charming young gentleman ! Well

draw Iota far the horrible fate of being exe

Ono stormy-avoulng In 1782 , Meg was In

when Ihero entered a postilion plainly from
a private Iravt'Iliig-carrlage ,

at tha same time made eyes at her. who

"Don't lalk , please , " paid Meg's duchem ,
with a suppressed sob.
"Hul , beggln' your pardon , mem , I don't

"I'm sorry , mem , "

When the duchcsi faced Meg something In

A boy was found with a lantern , and the

"Tho Rlnr'l , ' I'm n sinner. "
"Why. man , It's Glut'I Washington. What's

s'posed he was In New burg. "
At that moment landlord Simon returned ,
his lips eager with the news.
"Gen'l'm'n , " he began Impressively , "Glnr'l
Washington Is under this roof. That was
him that was "
At the moment the second of the two
visitors returned.
"Tlie gentleman Is to ho disturbed by no

with an nlr of ono In the habit of authority.
"Yls , sir yls , " said Simon. "I've been
too old to fight myself but I'm pleased that
he is under my roof. "
Hut this gentleman , plainly an aide-de-
camp , was gone hurriedly Into the night.
The great man , If It were he , was alone In
the room above. Meg returned , her eyes
dancing In her excitement.
Yes. General Washington It was , no other.
No other. Indeed , could be like him. There
could bo no mistake. The excitement passed
on. Old soldiers limped In armless , legless ,
from many battlefields. Was It he Indeed'
The general ! How neatly he had trapped
his proud lordship at Yorktown ! How he
had given them the slip at Trenton ! What
a rage he was In at Monmouth , and now It
waa over. There was fighting still , but they
had been fairly whipped by the great man
who waa here at the Independence Arms.
And what was ho hero for In Lancaster , to be
sure ? Everybody supposed he was In New-
burg. Meg listened , finding In the chatter
of these disabled soldiers that even she was
not noticed. She didn't care particularly. II
was such a fine thing for the Independence ,
to have the great man under Its roof. He
man t go to the other tavern , anyway.
"Yankee Doodle , " hummed Meg. The air
was now then.
So absorbed wag the girl lhat she did not
notice at first that the mysterious lady vis
itor's maid stood at the taproom bar.
"Miss ! Miss ! " said the red-cheekeJ maid
with haughtlncsD of great personages' serv
ants. "Miss , will you pay attention. My
mlstreso wants to see you. "
"Ye ? , " said Meg , hastening , nil her curi
osity returning about that first visitor.
At the lady's door , she hestltatcd.
The. lady waa sobbing , her lace In her
lands.
Meg wanted to say something.
"Mem , " she began , a lump In her throat ,
Mem ! "
The lady looked up miserably , and beauti
fully , Meg thought.
"I want my bill , girl , and the- carriage
ordered. "
Meg curtsied.
"But , mem , mayn't I bring a cup of tea ,
or some wine ? Surely the lady should have
something to eat. "
"Well , you might bring some tea , " the
ady began. "And see that the men and
lorses are fed , and toldlo be ready as teen
as they possibly can. "
Meg could not resist saying as she curtsieJ
again :
"It's this , mem , that we're a bit upset at
he Independence because such great folks
have come down on us , so that you , mem ,
uust excuse us If we're slow. "
"Oh , you have heard me , girl , " said the
ady. "Do go. "
"Beggln' your pardon , mem , " said Meg ,
and Insisting on making her point , and a -
oundlng the lady
"It's no less than Gln'ral "Washington hlfi-
elf. "
Suddenly the lady starled up.
"Who , girl ? General Washington ! Here ? "
Meg enjoyed the astonishment her state-
lie nt had made.
"I've said It , mem. "
"Take me to him , quick. "
The lady smoothed her hair , fixed her
neckerchief , rubbed the poor red eyes. "Now ,
girl. "
Me ? stared at her lu astonishment.
"He's forbidden anyone seeln' him , mem.
You know , mem , he's a terrible man. "
"Take , me to him. I tell you. I will see
you are not blamed , "
For a moment Meg hesitated , until the
superior will , aided by a shilling , and her
own feminine curiosity to see the denoue
ment , connuered.
"This way , mem. That's the door. "
Hero the lady hesitated , and then
knocked , at , first timidly , and then de
terminedly. Meg wondered how she dared.
"Well , come In , " said a , weary voice.
The lady opened the doar. and from the
threshold regarded the great man as the
circle of light from the candle on the table
at which ho waa writing , fell about Tilm.
On his part the tired , light blue oyea looked
their surprise the eyes Stuart painted a dark
blue that fading pigment might give the
color exactly right an hundred years after.
Like Meg , he thought the lady distinguished.
"I beg your pardon , " he said , rising.
"I , sir. am Lady Asglll. "
He started ; he hesitated ; he looked at her
azain.
"Captain Asglll's mother , " she added ,
"I have had your letters. Do bo seated , "
he managed to say.
"You have not answered them as I wished , "
said she.
"I came ta America , sir , to see my son
to plead with you the despot. "
"You have the right to think that ,
perhaps , " he said , now gently. "I have had
a thousand letters. Miny people have pleaded
for your son , "
"And 7 And you cm let this go on ? "
"Lady Asglll , " but he stoppoJ In confu-
fc'nn ' ,
Meg , watching at the- door , muttered In
open-mouthed wonder , "Tho young cap'n'0
mother , "
"Do be seated , please , " said lie , who had
not feared the battle , and who feared the
sorrow In his visitor's eyes ,
But she looked at him sternly. "Captain
Asglll liny die when you can prevent It.
They talked of you , you General Washington ,
as a great man as the liberator , and you
are as bad a despot as any king. "
"You are accusing me , madam , " he eald ,
still gently , "I cannot blame you , Yet
every criminal has right to defense , "
She did not cob now , although there was
that dull despair In her eyes. She spoke ,
sslf-controlled , csntemptuoujly , accusingly :
"You will say , I aunnojo , that his majesty's
ier.ts can arrange the matter by punishing
tli03 who hung Captain Huddy , You always

"Yes , I could nay that ; I could say I am
sorry , that I "
"I shouldn't believe you. "
"Doubt'ess not. I don't expect you to ,
Lady Asglll , I know how horrible thU all
has been to you the mother , I know "
She aald nothing , looking at him with thos ?
accusing eyei. Yet perhap. * his manner , the
reluctant memory of lila great fame , mule
her listen , He went on now with stronger
iclf-control.
"Many things I have to do from my

"I.iilysqlll ! " the a de-dc-cnmp began ,
"Captain Asglll Is below , " he added In his
suip.rl e.
She looked nt him , not understanding , when
the general continued :

"Do you mean th's ? " she mid , Incredu

"Tell Fcrsuson to wall. " mid the chief.
"Lady Asfilll and Captain Asglll may wish

As their stepn sounded the general looked
at the papers strewn on the table. Other
matters were perplexing him , problems of
national policy. The victory wa- gained
over England beyond peradventuro. Hut
could the United States govern themselves ?
Ah , much was to be done yet. so muchHe !
found himself longing for the field. That
was easier , after all. His memory went
back over the days and nlghU of defeat when
nobody believed In him ; when ho seemed
about to yield all , but ho wouldn't , he
couldn't. And now ho had succeeded.
Achievement lay behind ; war was ovi r and
quick action , only to leave other problems , of
curbing the army , of making these different
state Interests Identical. The blue eyes
were wear'cr , ho longed for Mount Vcrnon

Henry Wotterson Is one of the most bril

great editor , Horace Greely , sarved ninety
days In congress , writes Champ Clark In the
St. Louis . Republic. I doubt whether he
would accept the senatorshlp if elected , and
yet some members persist In voting for him.
Ho is about to bury himself In Voltaire's old
retreat at Geneva , Switzerland , to incubate a
biography of Abraham Lincoln which will
rival In Interest Boswell's "Life of Dr. John

My reeling toward him is one or personal
affection. When a boy his paper was my
political "vado mecum , " nnd peiwnal ac

him. Differences on the money question can
not chill my friendship for "Morse Henry , "
aa the Kcntucklans lovingly call him.
Once I had the pleasure of introducing him
to an audience at Louisiana. After the lec
ture I went with him to his hotel and sat up
with him till train time.
During the evening I told him that I heard
his speech In the great Merchants' Exchange
hall at St. Louis. In 187G , when ho was tem
porary chairman of- the Tllden convention ,
and that I enjoyed It hugely.
Whereupon he sold : "I will tell you a

had barely time to write my speech and not
enough to commit It to memory. I couldn't

to mysslf or pleasant to the audience ; no I

and read It to me sentence by sentence as I
delivered It. "
Upon my expressing surprise that mich a

ence , the longer the speaker pauses between
sentences to get hlsbrealh ; and In addressing
a crowd as large as that was n man naturally
and necessarily stops long cnouili nt each
period for ono to prompt him for the next
sentence. "
That evening spent with Wntterson was
one of the most enjoyable of my life , and
that Incident has been of great use to mo In
gauging a written speech so as to fit the time.
My experience Is that It requires about an
hour to deliver to a largo audience a speech
that It takes thirty minutes to read In an
ordinary tone of voice , to a few persons.
Ignorance of this proportion Is one of the
reasons why the hammer falls on so many
congressmen In the middle of their speeches ,
and why so many ask the privilege of exlend-
Ing their remarks In the Record.
This Incident my be of service to the rising
generation of Clceros.

Hero Is a story that one of the southern
members vouches for , says the Washington
Post. A young man , one of his constituents' ,
applied to him for a $1,000 clerlcahlp. The
member secured the appointment , but the
day before the constituent was to bo sworn
tn ho came to his representative In a troubled
state of mind and said :
"Colonel , I nave liau ji ii.uuu icii in a uy an
aunt , and , my God ! just think what I have
to go through ngaln , "
"Let mo congratulate you , " said the repre-
senlallve.
"No , don't do that , " said the constituent ;
"you don't know what you're congratulating
me on. "
"Yes , I do , " said the member , "for now
you can live without working. "
"Colonel , " said the distressed young man ,
"I may as well tell you. Several years ago
I had $100,000 left me by another aunt , and It
took me nearly a year to upend It. After I
got through I had to go to the hospital for
six months to get over the effects of my dis
sipation. The reason I came to ace you to
day was to ask you to keep that place for
me until I can spend this money. "

"When I was away off nn that little

the Germans and all the < others are against
America , no matter what the diplomats

Poor Mr. Kem of N'ehratka was In n very

of free ellvpr. The explanation was slmpto ,

At the government printing office the Intelli

Mr. Kem , and In his Innocence of persons ,
politics and concequenies had mixed tint

Mr. Tnwncy blushed. "Glad you like It , "
ho said. "If you will stay till Friday you'
may have the pleasure of peeing us bury the
silver bill so deep I hope It will never bo

The father and < laurhtcrn looked at one an

There was a pleased expression on the
stern features of the angular woman with
the rasping voice , as she regained her scat
In the accommodation train. She had Just
walked up one side and down the other of the
long Isle , relates the Now York Herald , and
had spoken a few hurried words to each man
ns she handed him a copy of a temperance
tract.
"The world Is growing better. " she said ,
leaning over and addressing the man In the
end seat. "You see , there Is PO much differ
ence of opinion on the subject thai you can't
get any Intelligent Idea from studying sta
tistics. I'm a worker In the noble cause of
temperance , you know , so I thought I would
do a llttlo Investigating for myself. "
"Am I to understand , madam , " replied the
man , turning his head half way round , "that
the result of your labors shows that the
world Is growing ueltsr ? "
"That's It exactly , " she returned. "As soon
as I entered the train and saw that It was
nearly full of men I knew that the time for
original Investigation had arrived. When I
banded out this beautiful little- tract I asked
each man point blank If he was a drunkard.
It did my heart good , as you may well
Imagine , to hear each of them answer that
he wasn't. "
"But , my dear madam , " argued the man ,
"It takes a pretty hard drinker to make a
drunkard. "
"Nonsense , " broke In the woman. "Thorn
can be no fine distinctions In a question of
this kind. A man who ill Inks is nothing clso
than a drunkard. I'm satisfied with the test
I made , for I could see lhat each man an
swered my question honestly. " *
"I won't attempt to argtio with you ,
madam , " said the man. "I'll just make a
llttlo tcsl of my own. " .
Stepping out Into the aisle the man sang
out In a cheery tone that echoed through the
length of the car :
"Say , boys , any of you got a corkscrew ? "
In a moment a smllo came over the man's
feitures as he slowly counted seventeen
hands lifted up In the air , and he was about
to address the woman , when he saw thai she
had falnled , and that the conductor > was
testing the virtue of her dearly loved cold
water by sousing a dipper of it In her face.

A skull found In a gravel pit In North
Waco demonstrates one of two things :
Either gravel strata form faster than Is
reckoned by geologists , or methods employed
by denllsls supposed to bo of recent Inven

In the skull found were filled with a sub-
slanco which the local dcnllsts say was un
known ten years ago. and there was a falsa

belonging to the present decade. The skull
was taken out from beneath a gravel stratum
