For a whllo yesterday afternoon it looked
as if the visitors to the Grand Plaza at Lake
aianawn. would have to content themselves
with temperance drinks. About 4 o'clock
Constable Street of Lewis township swooped
down on the beer garden armed with a.
search warrant and an Information charg
ing the proprietors of the place with sell
ing Intoxicating liquors contrary to law. The
Information had been filed by ono F. S.
Hoardmanbut what kick the complainant
had coming against the Grand Plaza sell
ing beer could not be learned. It was re
ported that Boardman was n mere figure
head In the case.
When Constable Street commenced to haul
the liquors away , Manager Mooser expostu
lated , but to no purpose , and the beer and
other liquors wcro handed over the fence
to the constable's assistant on the outside ,
who packed them neatly In a wagon that
was standing ready for the purpose.
Justice Vlon , who Issued the search war
rant nnd Information , was spending the
nftornoon fishing at the lake , and the at
torney for the lessees of the Grand Plaza
rowed out to him and a lengthy conference
was held In the middle of the lake. The
conference was evidently satisfactory' to
loth sides , ns about nn hour later Constable
Street returned the seized liquors and the
visitors to the Plaza once more had the
opportunity to slack their thirst with alco
holic beverages Instead of being compelled
to drink pop and other drinkables - warranted
ranted not to inebriate. It was openly
ntatcd that the filing of the Information
was Bplto work and not done with a purpose
to stop the sale of Intoxicating drinks nt
the resort , as the saloons outside the Plaza
wcro not Interfered with.

Although there was no public celebration
euch as marked the Fourth of July In the
, good old days , still yesterday wan observed
Council IHuffs. Many
as a general holiday In
of the larger stores kept closed all day.
while others were open for business In the
morning , but shut their doors promptly nt
noon. All the city nnd county offices were
closed with the exception of the office nf
clerk of the district court , which was kept
open for the benefit of the government
pensioners , yesterday being the quarterly
pension day and from 8 to 10 o'clock Clerk
Kecil and his assistants wore kept busy
certifying to pension vouchers.
Everybody seemed Intent on having a good
llmo and making an much ns possible of the
holiday. The Omaha exposition nttracted
many , especially In the evening , and nt
Lake Manawa the largest crowd of the sea
son was gathered. From noon the trains
wcro crowded and the plaza was packed
with n dcnso throng. The management had
provided an excellent entertainment which
scorned to suit the crowd , Judging from the
generous applause the artists were accorded.
Manhattan Beach also drew Us share of the
crowd nnd In the early part of the evening
many of the visitors eujoycd the bathing
on the far side of the lake. The two steam
ers were liberally patronized , as wcro the
numerous small rowbcots. Many of the vis
itors took their luncheons with them and
scattered over the grounds were a number
of family picnic parties.
Falrmount park caught the biggest crowd
of the day. This was due In a great measure
to the many picnic parties from Omaha that
enjoyed nn outing at this beautiful resort.
In the morning six of the Inrgo motors
brought two Sunday school picnics from
across the river direct to the park and the
young folks were very much In evidence
romping through the glens nnd over the
hills. Not for several years has Falrmount
park witnessed so many picnic parties.
Groups of holiday seekers , enjoying their
lunches on the greensward , wcro to be seen
on every side. In fact , the park seemed
literally alive with people.
The celebration of the glorious Fourth
commenced with the setting In of dusk Mon
day evening and continued well on Into the
night and was renewed at daybreak yester
day. The sale of firecrackers was the
largest for many years and young America
certainly made the most of the day. The
weather clerk was on bis good behavior nnd
the day in this , as In other respects , was
all that could bo desired.

Charles Kunswlck Is a man badly wanted
by the county authorities. Ho Is charged
with committing a criminal assault upon

lnown : farmer In Boomer township. During

peared at the Mlcliaeleou farm , asked for

earlier than usual to do the chores. After
ho had left the house Mrs. Michaelson had
occasion to cress the hall In front of the
room where Runswlck was sleeping. As she
passed the door Runswlck came out , seized
her nnd carried tier into 'his ' room , where ,
despite her struggles , he accomplished his
purpose * Ho threatened to kill both her
and her husband If she made any complaint
and for two days she was afraid. Monday ,
however , the could stand the suspense no
longer and she Informed her husband of
Hunswlck's assault. The latter , as soon
as ho heard that Mrs. Mlehaelson had told
her husband , left for parts unknown. The

"About nluo years ago , " said one of the
Chicago correspondents , to a Washington
Star man , "when I was 'covering the hotels'
for my paper In Chicago , Miss Emma Thiirs-
by , the once-renowned songstress , arrived
In town and took a suite at the Hotel Riche
lieu. With u view to u 'special' about the
famous song birds of Miss Thursby's day , I
eont my card up to her , and the bell boy re
turned with the message to 'come right up.
A white-aproned maid admitted me to Miss
Thursby's reception room nnd left mo
there , saying that her mistress ( who , by the
way , had left the concert stage a number of
years before ) was dressing , and would see
me In n few moments , I sat down to wait.
I hardly had n chance to look around before
I heard , evidently proceeding from the next
room , which was screened from the recep
tion room by heavy portieres , several bril
liant chromatic runs , apparently proceeding
from a feminine throat , followed by a rendi
tion of nbout ten bars from ono of the
'Ernnnl1 arias , very faithful as to tech
nique.
" 'The prlma donna Is practicing as she
dresses,1 I thought , 'and time seems to have
wrought no depreciation of her vocal
powers.1
"So that you can fancy how I was startled
when the rauslc suddenly ceased and the
same voice called out :
" ' \Vho nro you In that front room ? '
" 'Why , ' I started to reply , Tm '
" 'Get out of here at once1 ! the voice com
manded. 'You're a bad lot ! Who told you
to corao hero , anyway1
" 'Hero. ' said I to myself , Ms nice , cordial
treatment. After being invited upstairs ,
I'm coolly told to take my leave. Wonder
what I've done , ' and , In a quandary , ' picked
up my hat and eano and started to depart.
" '
'Oh , never mind , ' said the voice , halting
mo on my way to the door ; 'I don't care
whether you remain or not ; It's a matter of
the most complete Indifference to me , I assure -
sure you ; quite so , believe me ; h . ha , ha1 !
Puzzled ? It seemed altogether the
queerest -
est proposition I had ever stacked up
against. Horrible thoughts of
carefully cov.
ered-up Insanity shot through my head.
" 'I sincerely beg your pardon , jiiad-
ame I started to say , when I was In
terrupted with :
" 'Why don't you sit down ? You are so
fidgety ! Just take '
a seat , can't you , and
wait until I am ready to receive you ? Oh ,
la ! you nervous men ! I am not angry with
you : I am simply ennuyed. until , oh , my
gracious goodness eakes nnd the speech
seemed to wind up in the most prodigious
yawn ,
" 'This Is about the limit,1 I thought to
myself when I gat down again. I had In
terviewed a great many eccentric person-
aged , but thU Ecemed about the most ex
traordinary reception I bad ever been given.
The Tolce In the next room burst Into an
Italian ditty. He-nr nnd sweet. If a trifle
shrill , and I middled my rnnc nnd won *
dcred what I rould sny when the prlma
donna appeared , In view of the way I had
hern received.
" 'D'ye like that ? ' Inquired the volre be
hind the portieres. 'A little thing I picked
up In Venice sweet nnd pretty , but not
much to It. 1 begin to grow away from the
Itnllnn music , nnyhow , I find , nnd were my
career ahend Instead of behind me I think
I should go In altogether for Wagner. Oh ,
the deuce ! '
"Tho objurgation seemed a queer wlndup
for n conversation so sanely begun.
" 'How ? ' I Inquired.
" ' .Mind your own business ! ' said the voice ,
sharply. 'Why will you i > er lf > t In meddling
In my affairs ? What claim have you upon
me , anyhow ? You are so annoying ! You
fatigue me dreadfully. Indeed you do ! "Oh ,
heonora " ' nnd the voice began on a few
bars from 'II Trovatoro. '
"Well , I at length ceased to extract
amusement from being roasted like this ,
and I arose to take my leave , feeling Just n
bit haughty and h6t under the collar.
" 'Madame , ' I started to say , ' 1 am truly
sorry It I have disturbed you , but In ven
turing to send my card up to you I had
supposed that you would be- quite willing
to receive me a supposition In which 1 wns
encouraged when you sent me word to
come upstairs at once. Whatever annoy
ance I have caused you , I sincerely regret ,
believe me , but , nevertheless '
"I had got this far' when Miss Thtirsby
stepped radiantly In through the door of
her private hall , und held out her hand
cordially ,
" 'To whom were you speaking as I came
In , might I Inquire ? ' she asked me , with a
somewhat puzzled expression around her
eyes.
" 'Why , ' said I , 'I was under the Impres
sion thnt I had the honor of addressing
you , but 1
"Her face lighted up merrily , nnd she fell
Into n burst of uncontrollable laughter.
Then she thrust back the portieres , und
there sat on top of an easel her famous
parrot. The parrot eyed mo humorously for
a second , nnd then burst Into a ha-ha-Ing
that threatened to deprive him of all his
feathers.
" 'Has ho been ribald and Insulting to
you ? ' asked Miss Thursby. 'Ho Is falling
Into the habit lately of treating my guests
shamefully , but he Is old and perhaps testy
for that reason.1
"Tho bird's Imitation of Miss Thursby's
speaking tones was almost perfect , as I
observed when she spoke. Ho could sing
nnd talk in nine languages. I understood ;
but , for all that , In view of the had quarter
of an hour ho gave me. I didn't grieve
much when I read the other dny that Miss
Thursby's famous parrot , valued at $10,000 ,
had cashed In nnd gone to the great un
known. "

Journalism of the last century had a
tinge of yellow in It not dissimilar to that
which now colors certain metropolitan
newspapers , says the Washington Star , and
a glance nt a rare old copy of the New
England Weekly Journal of the date of
Monday , July 17 , 1727 , proves that animated
ihetorlc was abundantly utilized by the
newspaper men of that day. This relic is
the property of Mr. W. J. Morris of this
city , and Is remarkably well preserved. Un
der the title and above the date line Is the
announcement : "Containing the moft Ke-
markable occurrences Foreign & Domcf-
tlck. "
The first page Is devoted to a series of
letters written In the high-flown language
of the satirists of that day. The first Is
"To Protheus Echo , Esqr. " and signed
Simon Hearty. Then follow four addressed
"To Mr. Imitator , " signed respectively
Sam Wildfire , Clarlsso , Will Pedant and X.
These occupy the entire first page of the
single folio sheet upon which the paper
was printed and a part of the other side.
There are two items from London of
dates of April C and 8 , respectively , nnd
then follows a local Item as follows :
"On Friday last Wequalla ( an Indian
King ) was executed here accordlnc to Sen
tence paffed upon him for the murder of
Captain John Leonard. And whereas the
fald Wequalla had lived a hafo Inhuman
Life , nnd murdered his own brother and
other Indians .formerly , fo ho dyed a Har-
dncd and Impenitent Wretch , not fhowlng
the leaft Hemorfe for any the Actions of
his vllo Life , nor would ho own the Mur
der of fald Captain Leonard of which he was
fo notoriously convicted. He faved us the
Labor of Writing his Confefflon , having
made none ; ho only bid Aduo to the few
Indians that attended him to the Gallows ,
which were only his near Relations , all
the other Indians refufed to fhew him the
leaft Regard. When the Sheriff askt him If
any of the Mlnlfters fhould pray with him
before he dyed ? he Indifferently anfwcred.
They might If they would ; and being asked ,
which of them ? ho named Mr , Morgan , n
Presbyterian Mlnlfter , and that becaufo he
was his neighbor which ho Implycd was all
the reafon for bis choice. There was a
great concourfo of People at the Execu
tion , together with two companies of the
mllltln In arms in order to Protect the
Sheriff & Officers from any Infult of the
Mob of Indians. "
There were announcements of arrivals and
clearings nt the New York , Philadelphia
nnd Boston custom houses , and In the next
column was Important war Intelligence from
the colonists. The Item -was sandwiched be
tween a brief description of a drowning and
the deaths and burials In Boston , nnd was
as follows :
"On Friday last arrived here Captain
Woodberry in a Month's Passage from St.
Christophers , who Informs us they had Ad
vice there that n Ccffatlon of Arms for Seven
Years was concluded upon between the
Kings of Gieut Britain & Franco nnd the
Emperor of Germany & the King of Spain ;
that'the Emperor had quitted all Preten
tious to the Oftend Trade and that each
Party was to make satisfaction for all Re
prisals in a do by them and that the Span-
lards were drawing off the Forces from
Gibraltar. "
Through the Journal were scattered evi
dences that things of human Interest were
tl'f'n ' as now regarded highly In a journal-
Iwtlo sense. Under the head "Iloston11 oc
curred this : "We are Informed that fomo
days ago a remarkable thing happened at
Farmlngton In Connecticut , viz. : That a
Cloud broke over a Hill In that place and
the Water came down fo violently ns to
overtop a & Rail Fence In a Valley as alfo
to rlfo to n Horfes belly In the Street , which
alfo carried away a Rock feveral Rod , which
Rock wan fo big that Four Oxen could not
well lraw It , "
Tills weather Item was followed by an
other which announced that "A fuddcn clap
of Thunder ftruck the North Wind Mill In
this Place & very much fhatter'd It and
ftruck the Miller and his Son Down. "
Item of Interrut appeared us follows :
"Burials In the Town of Boston flnce our
lafl : Five Wiiltea ; One Black. Baptlz'd In

The advertisements contained a notice
from William Dudley , collector to "Tho

their excise to the collector "on Monday
and Tuesday , the 24th & ZStti Inftant , at the

Preceded by two paragraph marks and &
star was the following :

UK9 M01NK3. July 4. ( Special Tele
gram. ) William Ludwlg of Hockwcll City
shot nnd killed his former fiancee , pretty
20-year-old llortha Whitosldo , at her home
In this city this morning at 9 o'clock , Ludwig -
wig then turned the pistol on himself and
pent n bullet through his own brain. The
girl died Instantly , Ludwlg lived nbout a
half hour , but never regained consciousness.
The murder und suicide were witnessed by
Miss l.ou Uallard , a visitor , also of Hock-
well City , and the llrlng of the shot which
ended the llfo of the murderer was also
fcecn by Hurl Whlteslde , brother of the mur
dered girl.
The cause of the double tragedy 1s sup
posed to bo unrequited love. Two years ago
LudwlR nnd Miss Whltcsldo wore engaged.
Ho lived In Rockwell City , the former homo
of the girl. Ludwlg was arrested about n year
nnd a half ago on the charge of grand lar
ceny. Ho was tried In the courts of Calhoun -
houn county , convicted and sentenced to
sixteen months In the penitentiary at Fort
Madison. This term expired only ft short
tlmo ago. Miss Whltcsldc , Immediately upon
the arrest and conviction of Ludwlg , severed
all relations with him , sent back bin letters
nnd sent word to him that she would never
again have anything to do with him. Lud-
wlg has brooded over his repulse In love
and came to Des IMolnes Monday to scttla
the matter according to his own desires.
Ho went to the Whltcsldo homo with the
expressed Intention of killing his former
sweetheart. Ho told her so before ho shot.
The girl was in the bedroom making the
bed when ho entered. She and Miss Italian ) ,
a girl friend who 'was ' spending the Fourth
with her , saw Ludwlg coming and fastened
the screen doors at both the back and front
of the house , but Ludwlg cut the wlro and
entered.
Three shots wcro fired by Ludwlg alto
gether. The girl jumped toward him ns ho
dro\v the revolver , but ho fired quickly.
The first shot entered her forehead very
near the center. The girl fell forward on
tlio floor , when ho placed the revolver near
her head nnd fired again , the bullet enter
ing near the temple. He tten turned to
ward Miss Bnllard and would probably have
killed her had she not run out of the room.
Stepping back three steps , ho placed the
revolver to his own head and fired tlio last
shot , the ball entering his head on the right
Hide , back of the temple a couple of Inches.
The revolver used was a more toy , a 32-
caliber Young America , with a 2-inch bar-
lel.

Largo enough ns the Islands are to have a

of oceanic environments , the Hawaiian cli

A veritable land of sunshine and breezes ,
whose temperature you may vary as you
cheese from sea level up to Mauna Kea
(13,825 ( feet ) or Mauna Loa (13,075) ( ) . You
may leave one side of an Island In a rain
storm nnd find sunshine on the other ; but
though there Is considerable variety In this
respect , the temperature Is about uniform ,
nnd nt sea level is 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
Taken by the year , this average does not
vary over ono degree ono way or the other ;
taken by the month , the average of the
coldest month Is 69 degrees and of the
warmest 78 degrees. The extreme lowest
temperature U 50 degrees , the highest I'D '
degrees ; and either of these figures has
been readied only once in the last dozen
yearn. The average dally range at Honolulu
ls 71 degrees , and Its usual temperature Is
several degrees cooler than the average of
a number of other cities la the same lati
tude notably Havana.
The northeast trade winds arc the saving
feature of the Hawaiian Islands , Imparting

Pol Is the national dish of Il.lvall , nnd
tins the great advantage of being cheap and
fattening foimerly the native took us much
pride In his particular brew of pol as omo
good housewives do In their biscuits , hut
now , alas , his pride has departed , and this
Industry too has fallen Into the haiidrt of
ever watchful John Chinaman.
And the making of pol Is no easy task-
perhaps that explains the unlive * ' retire
ment from the work. Tim > Is a tough lleshy
root , nnd In the first pol-iunkliig Mage It
must 1 be ground to a flour. This could , of
\ course i , be done by machinery , but th.it
i would ' not be Hawaiian therefore , as In
] the ' old days , the tough root Is brought to
I the desired condition by n stone pestle and
! i wooden sometimes stone trough. After
1 Its reduction to flour It Is thru worked
Into a thlnulah paste , nnd If the best aril-
clo of pol Is desired , It Is permitted to fer
ment before being served In the calabash , as
the wooden bowl the only dish of the na
tives Is called. Usually one calabanh an
swers for a family , which , squatting around
the common dish feeds by skilfully gath
ering a quantity of pol on the fingers , and
then with equal dexterity transferring the
mess to the mouth. According to Its con
sistency , It may bo "one-finger , " "two-
finger , " nr "tlirec-finger" pol , the Index
linger being equal to the task of the feeding
If the pol Is quite thick , and three fingers
required when It In nt Us thinnest. It Is an
acquired taste to the foreigners , but many
of them appear to acquire It readily enough
the whlto Hawallans take their pol nnd
squid ( ns the dried tentacles of the octopus
are called ) with apparently ns much relish

ate , unless perhaps it suggested starch.
( illMS OF A WOMAN" .
xiierloiH'o of n MtlkHtinkc Man Who
Hail Honied nn Italian. .
He keeps n "sweet milk , buttermilk and
milkshake" stand on Park row , right out In
front of the big newspaper ofilces , reports
the New York Sun. 'Ho ' has a good stand ,
and ho knows It , and docs not propose to
shiirc It with any one. So It happened that
when an Italian fruit vendor approached
that corner the other night with the evident
Intention of dividing the trade , the milk-
stand annn defended his monopoly with
vigor , dispatch nnd a big club.
"Git away from here ! " he commanded.
The Italian grinned and approached still
nearer.
"Git away from here , I tell ye ! " repeated
the man with the club , and he braced the
same against the fruit man's cart and gnve a
vigorous puoh. The Italian was good nt
pushing , too , and gave evidence of It. So
the other resorted to more active measures
and brandished the club so violently and In
such close proximity to the fruit vender's
skull that the next command of "Oil out o'
here , right off ! " wns promptly obeyed , and
the bananas nnd oranges wandered further
down the street , while the ferocious dis
penser of most peaceful beverages returned
triumphantly to his place of business nnd
stowed away his weapon in a rack above his
head.
She was a red-headed girl with a go-anrt-
see-and-find-out sort of air , and she stood
watching the proceedings from a neighboring
curbstone with no small degree of Interest.
After the Italian had retreated she slowly
approached the mllkstand.
"Do you sell milk-shakes when you're
home from the wars ? " she asked , gravely.
The man grinned. "Try to , " he replied.
"Havo ono ? "
"Isn't any danger of that persuader falling
down on a customer , 1 suppose ? " she pur
sued.
"I keep that to chase Dagoes with , " he ex
plained.
"Got a lien on this corner ? "
"N'ot exactly , but well , I just belong
here , " and he smiled confidently.
She nodded. "I understand. Suppose you
give me strawberry and vanlln , " she sug-
gcstPd.
He took down an unopened 'bottle of straw
berry syrup and began trying to draw the
cork with his teeth.
"Corkscrew ? " tentatively.
"Got one ? " he asked.
"Sorry. No use for It , " she replied.
"Guess I'll give you orange. "
"Try a hairpin , " at the flame time offer
ing him ono of those useful articles.
"I don't have no luck with it , " he said
after a few unsuccessful attempts.
"I'll show you how , " she volunteered.
"In or out don't make no difference , Just
so the syrip | runs , " he told her , and after a
few deft prods she presented to him the
broken cork on the end of the hairpin.
"Keep that to remember mo by , " he said ,
and then turned her attention to the refreshIng -
Ing drink and strolled away.
"She's a good enough sort , " commented
the mllkstand man to a bystander.
"Guess that's right , " answered ho. "But
who paid for that drink ? "
"Hully gee ! " cried the man and gazed
ruefully nt the bent hnlrpln and the broken
cord. "Sho forgot that , didn't she ? "

A traveling salesman for a well known
Baltimore firm has Just returned from a six
months' business trip through the west , re
ports the Baltimore Sun. Last night ho was
Invited to join some of his friends , and
during the evening told of many incidents
that ( mil happened to him during his trip.
"Tho greatest man for anecdotes that I
ever heard of , " said the salesman , "was a
hotel keeper in Julian , Neb , He kept a
small place , but there certainly had been
a number of strange Incidents within HH
walls , If you were to bertovo the proprietor ,
I don't say the man lied , but ho certainly
did some remarkable tricks with the trutli.
The first night I met him he nearly knocked
my eye out , his talk being somewhat as fol
lows :
" 'Hotel keeping Is a strange life , nnd wo
have to put up with a great many things
to please our guests. I remember ono night
an old fellow with a bronzed complexion
came Into the hotel and asked for a room.
Ho was accommodated , but stayed up
stairs only a few moments , after which ho
came down and said that ho was a sea
captain nnd could not sleep In such a quiet
room. Don't you know that I had to put
him Into a room next to the bathroom and
keep the water turned on full all night BO
that he could sleep ?
" 'Hut that's nothing to the trouble I liad
ono day when an Judlan medicine bhow
struck this town. They bad a troupe of
performers , some- animals and a re ? ! , live
Eskimo , That fellow was a bird. They Bald
ho wns from Greenland , but he wasn't BO
Sreou. l can toll you. Ho was all wrapped
up In furs , although the weather was warm.
I put him In a nice , comfortable room and ho
kept the bell ringing contlnua/ly ordering

one of the women suddenly called the at

The latter , glancing orrr her shoulder ,
saw the creature and fairly looked the viper
full In Its oycs , relates the I.ewlston Jour-
mil. The snake WHS fully four feet long
and two laches or more ttirough and was
of a brownish color with wnlto elretes or

She rays that the snalip was a most
lovely creature to look at and that , though
she Is Invariably afraid of snakes , her fear
vanished the instant she beheld it. Instead
of running away from It , as her compan
ion did , she says that she was Instantly
fascinated by the snake , both by Its beauty
nnd the "Indescribable something" In Its
eyes which scorned to hold her transfixed
lo the spot as soon as she behold H.
Circling stealthily and wavollko about her.
never once taking Ils eyes from hers , the
snake lifted Itself up like a spiral1 , with
Its head poised nearly two feet from the
ground , and hold the womaiti motionless In
Its charm. This It repeated for a second
tlmo , coming still nearer to her before
Colonel Hass came running back to her as
sistance. Seeing the danger the woman was
In , the colonel picked up a large stick and
began n savage attack upon the serpent.
Though ho struck It several torrlde blows
Colcmel Hass was unable to kill the charmer
and the snake finally slipped noiselessly
away and became lost to view In the thick
undergrowth. It was some moments before
the woman wholly recovered from the spell
and began to realize jlho great danger she
had been In. She Is sure that the snnkc
meant to do her Injury and was charming
her for that purpose.

Mrs. Hetty Green of New York , said to
bo the wealthiest woman In America , tells
n veryInteresting story of United States
Ambassador Joseph H. Choatc when ho was
a young man. Kven In those days and long
before his fame as n wit had been estab
lished , Mr. Choato was eloquent in his
description of current events.
According to Mrs. C.rccn , she and Kitty
Wolfe 'were ' boon companions In their girl
hood and compared notes on their love epi
sodes. Mrs. Green takes great delight in
talking over the period ivhcn she was bud
ding Into womanhood and received the at
tentions of young men who later made th'cir
mark in life.
"Conspicuous among .thorn , " she said to
n Mall and Express reporter , "was young
Joe Choate , as wo knew him. He visited
me on Tuesday evenings nnd called upon
Kitty Wolfe on Thursdays , We girls wouM
moot on Fridays and compare notes. Young
Mr. Choato wns flowery In his conversation ,
especially on subjects of love , and I called
him Cupid. In later life , when I know him
only as a lawyer opposed to me , I changed
his name to that of Cherub.
"I recall a certain evening at my father's
home when Mr. Choate , referring to a wed
ding of mutual friends , said :
" 'Cupid has spread his bow over these
happy people nnd their cloud has a silver
lining. '
"I thought this was very beautiful1 and it
impressed me greatly. The following Fri
day I called upon Kitty Wolfe and laugh
ingly she said that Mr. Choato was very
graphic In his description of tbo wedding.
To my surprise , she repeated the same sen
tence about Cupid which had pleased mo
so much. Wo girls had a good laugh over
It , and from that day , 'Joo1 Choalo was
known In our social set as 'Cupid. '
"Years rolled on and Mr. Choato became
a great Tawyer , and together with S. L , M.
Barlow and others was with those who
have been opposed to mo In an almost
ccasolcsB litigation since 1805. Now we do
not spcalc as wo pass by , and yet I cannot
help recalling my girlhood when Mr. Choate
was ono of my admirers "
