Cleveland, a local genius of literary tastes and esthetic habits Is onrnnlzlnfr a company of 40 persons to redeem it nnd send it back to Spain to the admiral. Vail & Co., Jewelers, are In posses sion of tho watch, having advanced $10 upon it to ex-Lieut. W. R, Bettls of tho Twenty-third Kansas troops, colored. While in Cuba Hettls was leading a detachments of his company when ho met a Cuban who was all but dead. This Cuban had been In hiding, vainly waiting to make his way to Spain. He tore from the lining of his trousers, In which P. hud been sewed, this watch and sold it to Uettts. The watch con tnlns the name of the admiral and th arms o Spain. On the way home from Cuba a passenger on the transport of fered Bettls $300 for it, which he re fused. He wanted to bring that watch to Wichita to exhibit to his friends as a relic ot the Spanish American war. Lieut. Bettls, after arriving at his home, was rather Hush nnd started Into a llttlo business in Wichita that Is commonly supposed to have n fascina tion for youny men of color. One day, or night, luck was against him, and he "soaked" the watch for $40. Luck hasn't come his way yet with sufllclent smiles to enable him to redeem the watch, and now Sir. Cleveland thinks it would be a graceful thing to have a Wichita company chip In for its re demption nnd return it to Cervera with the compliments of the people of Wich ita. The story of tho watch is that that Is, the Cuban end of It; Cervera gave It to a Cuban pilot to show him the way out of Santiago harbor the morn ing of the memorable battle. After Cervera 'hud had been crushed the Cu bans wore so delighted that they wnnt- ed'to hang the pilot who helped him In his Intended escape from the Amer ican navy. Tho Cuban pilot made his escape from Santiago and skulked In the woods until ho could ilnd some means of escaping to Spain; for ho knew thnt It would bo useless for him to try and live In Cuba after the war. It was while ho was skulking that Lieut. Bet tls caught up with him and obtained the watch. Oervera's sister's daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, Is a dressmaker in this city. She married a Scotchman and was disinherited nnd exiled, she claims, for having done so. She has seen the wntch and believes It to be the property of her distinguished but unfortunate uncle. TWO KINDS OF PEESIDENTS. Jackson and Cleveland King Presi dents Lincoln and McKinley Con gressional Presidents. G. L. Hunter, In AInslee's Magazine. For convenience, I shall call presi dents who have been free users of the veto power King Presidents, and their opposltes Congressional Presidents. The most striking examples of the King President are the two Democrats, Juck son and Cleveland, and the two Repub licans, Johnson and Grant: the most striking examples of the Congressional President are the two Democrats, Jef ferson and Monroe, and the two Re publicans, Lincoln and McKinley. King Presidents have been inspired by the Idea that they were the special and peculiar representatives of the people chosen to protect the people against other representatives. Jack son, being able to persuade tho people thnt ho was right, greatly exalted the authority of the chief magistrate. When one congress fought him, the people sent him another that was submissive. Johnson could not command the sup port of the people, and by his attempt at absolution exalted the power of con gress. Grant, though the idol of the people to the end,, could not get a sub missive congress. Cleveland, who was swept into ofllco by a wave of popular protest against existing political abuse; retained the admiration of Hie people well Into his second term. N'o presl- i dent ever treated congvess with such disdain as he. Among congressional presidents Jef ferson Is an cxtraordlnnry example of the able politician. Avowedly and In tentlonnlly he endeavored to show that he looked on congress as the centre of government, on himself as tho servnnt of congress, But his personality was so attractive, and the party behind him so strong, that congress almost with out exception followed his Initiative. The result of the .leffersonlan policy of allowing the representatives of the people to govern became apparent un der Madison. The nuthoilty of tho president visibly declined. During the era of good feeling under Monroe, the authority of congress was greater than at nny other time In the history of our country. It did not occur to a president nominated In congressional caucus to resist the body that mude him. Under Lincoln, the authority i.f ihe president which, In the Interval since Jackson, had declined noticeably Increased, partly owing to Lincoln's political abll lty, partly to the opportunity ot war."

Amid the antl-expanslon turmoil the movement to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the "Louisi ana Purchase" by nn international exposition and world's fair at St. Louis In 1903 would seem out of keep ing with the principles which somu of our statesmen would like to see fol lowed unless the country Is to go to tho dogs entirely. And yet such a plan Is before congress In a bill which Is fathered by no less strong an op ponent, of expansion than Senator Cockrell, of Missouri. This bill provides the machinery, and very liberal funds for the crea tion of the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition, to open at St. Louis not later than May 1, 1'jOS, and to close not later than Dec. I. The nntlons of tho world are to be officially Invited to take part, and the United States Is to appropri ate ?D,000,000 towards the expenses of the exposition, provided that not less than $10,000,000 Is ruised by subscrip tions to the stock of the corporation to be formed to create and manage it, and by the Issuance of bonds by the city of St. Louis. Tho government Is to have a representative exhibit, in a building to cost not over $400,000, und $200,000 more Is to be appropriated for other expenses. The total expenses arising from this government exhibit Is limited to $1,500,000. It will bo seen from this that tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition Is to rank among the great expositions of the world, nnd that the Mississippi valley will witness In 1903 a mighty gathering of the nations of the earth, bearing with them the trophies of their industry and progress. WORTHY OF CELEBRATION. The Louisiana purchnse was nn event which Is well worthy of celebra tion. It was the first step which the United States took In that wise policy of expansion which has given us a territory extending from ocean to ocean, and from the Dominion of Can ada to Mexico and the Gulf. As ori ginally understood, It added to the public domain 1,182,752 square miles, or 7,G,9G1,2S0 acres. In the restricted sense, exclusive of the territory west of the Rocky mountains, which It Is now claimed was not included In the Louisiana purchase proper, but which was ours by the light of discovery and settlement, It covers 883,072 square miles, or 565,160,080 acres. It embraces the entire states of Arkansas, Mis souri, Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, parts of Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Louisiana, all of the Indian territory 'and part ot Oklahoma Territory, "Its area is more than seven times that of Great Britain and Ireland: more than four times that of the German em pire, or of the Austrian empire, or of France; more than three times that of Spain and Portugal; more than sev en times tho size of Italy, and twice that of Egypt; nearly ten times that of Turkey and Greece; nearly three times that of Sweden and Norway, and nearly six times that of the Japa nese empire. It Is also larger than Great Britain, Germany.France, Spain. Portugal and Italy combined. It Is about one-fourth less than the area of the thirteen original states. According to the census of 1890 It had then a population of 11,232,439. It produced In 1S9G, according to the reports of .the department of agriculture 1,143,137,081 bushels of corn, valued at $191,812,676; 151,395,786 bushels of wheat, valued at $111,188,231; and 260,822,173 bushels of oats, valued at $41,660,266. The value of the real and personal property In 1S90 was $3,190,456,161 The area of public lands disposed of to 1897 amounted to 510,85s square miles, while tho public lands remaining unsurveyed aggregated 132,192 square miles. The area unappropriated and subject to en try equals 188,300 square miles." CLAIMED BY FRANCE. This vast territory was claimed by France under the tight of discovery and occupation, In part. La Salle, under the authority of Louis XIV, was the first white man to descend the Mis sissippi from Its navigable northern watero to Its mouth, and from tho gulf Inward again. On April 9, 16S2, stand ing on the banks of the most western channel of the Mississippi, about three leagues from Its mouth, he took pos session of the country In tho name of Louis XIV, and naming it Louisiana, proclaimed Its extent to be "from the mouth of the great river St, Louis, on the eastern side, otherwise called Ohio, Allghln, Slpore or Chlsagona, ns far as Its mouth at tho sea or gulf of Mexico, upon the assurance which we have re ceived from all those nations (the In dian tribes along those livers) that wo are the first Europeans who have de scended or ascended the said river." For nearly eighty years following La Salle's discovery the country named by him as Loulsluna remained Intact as French possessions. Here the grant was made to the 'Mississippi Commer cial company, under tho regency of tho Duko of Orleans. This was the cele brated John Law's Mississippi scheme, In which $20,000,000 wns sunk. Alto gether it was an expensive colony to France. It Is conceded that she spent 40,000,000 llvres In colonization efforts In Louisiana. Willing to lid herself of such an expensive luxury, Franco ced ed It to Spain In 1762, but the formal transfer of sovereignty did not take place until 1766, and then the colonists were so enraged at tho cession that they rose In revolution and two years later the Spanish governor was obliged to leavo New Orleans. The next year, however, Spain sent n fleet and an army of 2.C00 men, re-ocoupled the col ony, and some of the revolutionists were condemned to death, some to im prisonment for life, and the property ot all was confiscated. CEDED BACK TO FRANCE. In 1800 Spain by secret treaty ceded the provlnco buck to France. Mean while the thirteen colonies had gained their independence, and had become the United States. Settlements had spread to the Mississippi, und this great highway to their markets was controlled at its mouth by a foreign nation. Tho right of deposit of goods nt Now Orleans, granted by the Span ish in 1795, had expired. The people began to petition congress, demanding navigation rights on tho Mississippi, and declared that "If congress refuses us effectual protection, if it forsakes us, wo will adopt measures which our safety requires, even if they endanger the pcaco of tho Union, nnd our con nection with the other states' No pro tection, no allegiance." Possibly, this was the first threat of secession. The people ot tho oust Joined with them In their demands and President Jeffer son, quick to sec tho approaching storm, went to work. The treaty ot 1800 ceding the Louisiana province to France was n secret one, and It was to Spain, therefore, that Jefferson made his overtures. He sought only to obtain a cession of the territory east of tho Mississippi, thus giving the United States control ot ono side of the river and its mouth. Spain re fused, but did not hint of the secret treaty of cession to Franco of Louisi ana. But the treaty got out In 1802, and tho recent troubles with France, which had nearly led to war, with the fact that England and France were nbout to fight, brought matters to a critical stage. Jefferson wrote to Min ister Livingston, In Paris, "The day that France takes possession of New Orleans fixes the sentence which It to restrain her forever within her low water mark. It seals the union of tho two nations who In conjunction can maintain exclusive possession of the ocean. From that moment we must mnrry ourselves to the British fleet and nation. This Is not a state we seek or desire." NAPOLEON WILLING. Ho at once sent Jnmes Monroe, after wards president, as a speclnl commis sioner to France to negotiate the pur chase of New Orleans and tho Flor Idas, or so much of the latter as France possessed, under the treaty of 1800, But Napoleon was face to face with Eng land, then ns now the great naval power of the world, and he said to his two associates In the consulnte: "They (the English) shall not have the Mis sissippi, which they covet. The con quest of Loulsana would bo easy If they only took the trouble to descend there. I have not a moment to lose In putting it out of their reach. I think of ceding it to the United States. Thev only ask of me one town In Louisiana, but I already consider the colony as entirely lost; and it appears to me that In the hands of this growing power it will be more useful to the policy, and even to the commerce, of France, than If I should attempt to keep It." One of his associates opposed the step, but Napoleon was firm, and later announced to them, "It la not only New Orleans that I will cede; It Is the whole colony without any reservation," and he directed that negotiations begin at once. James Monroe and Minister Livingston represented tho United States, while Napoleon designated the Marquis de Marbols on his part, al though Talleyrand had a share In the matter. Jefferson had authorized an offer of $2,000,000 for New Orleans and the Florldas, and Livingston, fearing that this would not bo accepted, was therefore astounded and suspicious when Tallyrand, before the arrival of Monroe, abruptly asked" "What will you give for the whole?" He delayed answering until the arrival ot Monroe, when Marhols soon convinced them that the French offer was a serious one. The Americans were overjoyed, nnd, having no time to consult the house government, but realizing tho Importance of Immediate action, closed the negotiations with all due speed. Tho price agreed upon was finally fixed at C0,000,000 francs. In the form of United States 6 per cent, bonds. In value $11,250,000, and In addition to this our government assumed the payment of certain debts duo to our own citi zens Valued nt 20,000,000 francs, or $3, 730,000, making? the total consideration paid $15,000,000. "When we consider that Jefferson at one time was will ing to give $2,000,000 for New Orleans alone we can well marvel that so vast an empire as the whole province should come to us for the price paid." It Is related .that when Livingston signed the treaty he shook hands with Mar bols and Monroe and said: "We have lived long, but this Is the noblest work of our lives." A STORM OF OPPOSITION. The treaty was Immediately sent to AVashlngton for ratification, the papers arriving there July 14, 1803, and con gress was convened on Oct. 17. A great storm of opposition .arose. James G. Blaine, in his "Twenty Years ot Congress," says: "It scarcely seems credible that the acquisition of Louisiana by Jefferson was denounced with a bitterness sur passing the partisan rancor with which later generations have neen ramiuar. No abuse was too malignant, no epi thet too coarse, no Imprecation too savage, to be employed by the assail ants of ,tho great philosophic states man who laid so broad and deep tho foundations of his country's growth and grandeur. President of a feeble republic, he was contending for a prize which was held by the greatest mili tary power of Europe and whose pos session was coveted by the greatest naval power of the world." Senator Pickering, of Massachusetts, declared that "neither the president and the senate, nor the president and congress, are competent to incorporate the Inhabitants of tho ceded territory into the Union." Senator Tracy, of Connecticut, said: "We can hold ter ritory, but to admit thi Inhabitants Into the Union, to mnke citizens ot them, and states, by treaty, we can not constitutionally do." Representa tive Griswold, of Connecticut, said that "the vast and unmanageable extent which the accession ot Louisiana will give the United States, tho consequent dispersion of our population, and the destruction of that balunco which Is so Important to maintain between the eastern and western states, threatens, at no very distant date, the subver sion of our Union." Representative Grlflln, of Virginia, feared that "this Eden of the New World would prove a cemetery for tho bodies of our citi zens," Senator Plumer, of New Hamp shire, declared that the admission of the western world Into the Union would restroy "at once tho weight and Importance of the eastern states and compel them to establish a separate, Independent empire." Senator White, of Delaware, believed that the incor poration ot Louisiana Into the Union would bo "the greatest curse that could at present befall us." Mr. Thatcher of Massachusetts, declared It would "Involve the necessity of a consider able Btandlng army." while Mr. Lucas asserted that the inhabitants of Louisi ana were "not prepared for a govern ment like that of tho United States." DENOUNCED BY THE PRESS, Tho eastern press was especially bit ter ugalnat the purchase and Mr. Jef ferson, Said tho Boston Gazette: "And like Anacharsls, our titled patriots, from Mr, Jefferson downwards, seem to entertain the same furious enmity ngalnst tho languago nnd common rinse which they do ngulnst the re ligion and government of the country." The Now York Hetnld said: "The president proposes to erect a govern ment about ns despotic as thut of Tur key In Asia. Tho folly which suppos -s thnt tho people of Louisiana are not en well qualified to enjoy political liberty as those hordes of aliens nnd strangers who nre cnntlnunlly Intermeddling with our public concerns, will not al ways pass current with tho people of America. Nor Is It possible thnt any part of our empire can be long held In a state ot vussnlnge under oven tho Philosophic Jefferson. Even the lim ited monarchy proposed 111 the bill now under discussion In tho house will prob ably not be established, and It Is next to a certainty that tho session will terminate, leaving Mr, Jefferson In complete possession of all the despotic powers which were lately acquired by the Spanish monarch." The Columblnn Sentinel sold: "Wo pny for the purchase nt Lou.- rnn up ward of $15,000,000 that Is, $3 for every man, woman nnd child In the United States, And why should our rulers bo grinding the face of the poor hi pur chasing land which thev. nor their children, nor their children's children, to the latest generation, will over, In all probability, see cultivated 7" The bill which the New York Herald said proposed a limited monarchy, did become a law, and Senator Spnoner'ii bill for the temporary government ot the Philippines, now In the senate.

Dolls and tops have equal claims to I be the oldest known toys, nnd It Is probable that children have played ! with them in every century nlnco th world began. Many change!, tako J place in the course of oven one hun- dred yeais, nnd fashions In dolls nnd tops must have varied greatly since I tho little Egyptians used the.-p toys.

In the tombs of the Pharaohs, built by this same Kameses, the body of the little daughter of one of tho Ptolemies has been found, holding in her arms her old-fashioned doll. In the ruins of Troy, SchUemaun found terra cottn. tops, and tipcats precisely like ours. The history of Eastern nations, like that of inori classic and modern peoples, Is too pompous and grand to concern Itself with children's playthings. It is the same In Greece and in Home, but thero nre the monuments to spenk for them selves. At Tanapra in Boetia small china figures have been unearthed th.it represented tho daily lite of tho peo ple, and were Intended as mmoria'n of those In whose tombs they were piaceu. rn the children s graves weiv buried small figurines, evidently their dolls and playthings, nnd though broken to pieces In sign or grief, when put together they were perfect and tho colors ns bright on the china as If they had Just been burned in the kiln. In the National Museum at Naples, too, may be seen toys, among them balls, dolls and tops of wood, recov ered from the ruins ot Pompeii. The Romans had n word, pupa, meaning .i baby girl, from vvhlcr. comes the French poupec. doll, and our word pup pet. Doll Is thought to lit from Idol, or from dol, Old Dutch, which curious ly enough, means a whlpplng-top and perlnps was oilglnally u general name j work our gpm deposits more thorough for toy. Dolly shops In Enplind were ly, for. according to th report for 1898, places where rags and second-hand goods were sold, and wore distinguish ed by the sign of a black doll. There is a curious Identity about games and tops found in different parts of tho world, as If they all orig inally had a common origin, and in spite of world wide wanderings, and the ages that have passed since their Invention, they have preserve-d this Identity In a marvelous degree. Alt tall games and quoits can be trace! to the discus, an Iron quoit used bv the ancients. IJoir.c-r tells of the disk throwing In the games at the obsequlo of Patroclus, and It wnu precisely like the game that men and boys pl'ty with horseshoes In our country towns nn-1 villages. The South Sea Islanders have sixteen different examples of string and finger puzzles, all beginning like cat's-i radio, which all clvllt'ed babies learn to play They have tils i the gajnes of tipcat, Jaokstoneo and hop-scotch. Ancient rlng-pmzles of carved Ivory, brought from China by ieaf.irlng men years ago, uro of the same pattern and made on the same principle us the steel and Iron-ring puzzler made In a New England blacksmith shop In col onial days. The Hawallans and the Indians of Ametlcn have In common a game or dice stone, one face marked with a cross, und the different Ftones have one, two, three dots and a blank.

WE ARE RICH IN GEMS. Tho United States Can Supply Every Kind but One. ' I'toiii l lie llrookljn rgle. The United States have never taken their proper, place among the gem producing countries, principally, it would appear, because of tho superior gains offered In tho motal mines. Patient nnd skillful working of the gem mines, however, would appear to prom ise as well as many of tho metal in dustries. There nre .In Montana sap phires of beauty nnd value. True, they are light In color, but they have more brilliancy than ttft Asian sap phires, and often exhlllt dlchrolsm, or double color, under different lights. The supposition thnt a wlpphlrc should be dark blue Is possibly responsible for the slowness of their ncccptanca In the market, but ns a mntter ot fact, sapphires nro not of necessity blue;' they (iff green, yellow, purple, white, and when they .ire red wo cull thatn rubles, for the ruby and sapphire nra Identically tho same,- saw for a frac tion of a per cent, of coloring mntter.
