11IE STORY OF THE HALAD lil..
Among the refugees who, at the
time of the French revolution,
sought an asylum in foreign coua
tries, there was a young nobleman
from the south of France, named
Henri d' Albignac. He had been
left an orphan at an early age, and
his only inheritance was a Jittle do
main that, under the most favorable
circumstances, yielded him a yearly
income of perhaps twothou.-ad li ancs
which was little more than he re
quired for his current expenses.
When, therefore, t.n; dark, rainy
day, he arrived in Loudon, the sum
total of his ready money amounted
to liule more than five thousand
francs. With this sum, small as it
was, had he any knowlege of trade
or a thorough education, he might
have earned at least a modest liveli
hood; but he hail received only a
common school education, and as for j
his Knowledge ot agriculture, it was
very inferior to that of the English
farmer of the time. Hesides, he was
accustomed to lead an easy life, and
had luxurious habits ; it was no won
der, therefore, that, before the end of
the J'ear, his funds were exhausted.
One morning as he sat, in no
pleasant frame of mind, thinking over
his condition, his landlord, anavari
cious huckster, who even surpassed
the majority of his uncultured coun
tryman in incivility, entered the
room. At first he glanced inquisit
ively about the apartmeut, and then
he fixed his eyes upon his lodger with
a disdainful smile, nodding three or
four times significantly, as he said.
"It's plain enough to be seen, M.
d' Albignac, that your affairs are in
a pretty bail fix, and, if I might be
allowed a word concerning them, I
should say they will not be better
till you make up your miiid to put
your shoulder earnestly to the
wheel."
"I doubt whether that would im
prove them much," replied the vouug
Frenchman;"! know of nothing that
would materially better mv condi
tion but one or two hundred pounds
sterling.
"just so. .Money is what vou
need
"That I know very well," returned
the huckster, "and as for working,
ou feel yourself above it, while
you have not wit enough to make
money in any other way."
"Sir," ried the young nwblcmau
"have you come to insult me?"
"Come, come," replied Cornhill,
"there is no need of crying out so
loud; it will not help matters any.
Do you know that you already owe
me five pounds " .
"You will get the money," replied
Henri. "I have thus far in life alwavs
paitl all just claims against me, and
you arc one of the last persons whom
I Mioult thinkof honoring by remain
ing their debtor."
I shall be very lad : but when
does your honor think I can touch the
money ?"
"As soon as my affairs arc in a
better condition," said D'AIbignac
modestly. !
"And till then vou propose to con-!
tiuuo on increasing your debt, I
suppose ?" returned the huckster.
"Ob, no, to that I cannot con
sent" "I think the best thing I can do
is to leave your house at once," faid
D'AIbignac, springing to his feet and
seizing his hat: "there are other peo
ple in the world besides you, and
better too, I trust."
"Tut! tut! Bit down again and let
us talk like two sensible men," re
monstrated the huckster. "You shall
sec that I mean well with
you."
Curious to know in what way his
landlord's interest in him would man
ifest itself, Henri sat down aud
looked him full in the face.
"I need a trustworthy man to
drive round and serve my customers
with vegetables," Cornhill began.
"Will you be that man?"
"Will Iwhat! are yon mad?"
cried D'AIbignac, im doubt whether
he heard aright.
"What else ean I do ? Nothing,
that I can see," replied the huck
ster, shrugging Lis fihoulders.
"Think it over I will girt you till

pect you to pay mo beforo you leave
my house."
With these words ho left tho room.
Henri remained for a while, seated at
the window, considering what course
to pursue in his extcrmity; then he
rose ami went to a restaurant, where
be was in the habit of getting his
dinner. Arrived there, he took a
seat at a table at which two elegant
ly dressed gentlemen were already
beated, and ordered some roast beef
and a salad, which was all the small
coins that still remained to him would
pay for. The beef he found entirely,
to his liking; the salad on tho contra'
rr, ue pusueu aside as awsoltitt'lv un -
lit to be eatca.
Meantime, three more fashionable
young men of the world had seated
themselves at the table. They smiled
as he pushed the salad, and nodded
assent as he said : .
"Wliat an abominable mess the'
give you here under the name sf sal
ad ! With us, in France, a salad is
a very dlfereni sort of a thing."
"Then you are a Frenchman, sir V
t " w . I a a
asKeu one oi me gentlemen, in a
courtly tone. "Is it true that your
countrymen are the adepts I have
heard thev are in tiie dressing of sal
ads ?"
"That is one of the arts in which
they arc certainly proficient," replied
the Frenchman.
"But the secret is, of course, not
known to everv one: it is jirobablv
only in the hands of professional
cooks and epicures !"'
"Sut at all," replied Henri; "every
child with us knows how to dress a
salad fit for a king. True, ou- petit
crcpe is a very different sort of
j vegetable from the bitter lettuce that
j grows iu England.
"1 fear you do our gardeners injus
jtice; the lettuce they raise is good
i enough, it only requires to be proper
! ly dressed."
The discussion was continued at
some length, when one of the Ensr-
lislimen to turned D'albignac, and
asked ifhe would notunder taka to
prcparea salad there and then after
the French manner.
"Certainly! why not?" replied
Henri, whereupon the waiter was
:ille j, nub all the necessary ingredi
ents were immediately orderetl for
the dressiug of salad a la Fraccaise.
Then the young nobleman went to
work, answeriug meantime, the ques
tions of the Englishmen with regard
to his country aid his impressions
of theirs. And thus it came that he
told his interlocutors his own story
that he was au emigre had cxhanst
all his means and was at a loss to
know what to do or which way to
turn.
In due time the salad was dressed,
tasted, and pronounced superb. In
deed one of the young Englishmen
was s well pie aed that he insisted
jetl on testifying his appreciation of
I the rrencluuaas art by nresentins
him with a live pound bank note.
Henri very naturally objected at
first to accept it, but the Englishman
would listen to no excuses, and be
was finally compelled to yield. At
parting they took his address, and
assured him that he would hear from
them again.
D'AIbignac returned to his lodg
ings in a much better frame of mind
than he had been for many days.
His first step was to satisfy his im
portunate landlord with thetive pounds
that hail so fortunately fallen into
his hands; his second was to look for
other quarters. The huckster was
not a little chagrined to see his ten.
ant leave him, but ho made no effort
to induce him to remain. "We shall
see," he thought, " yon will be glad
to come back to me and accept my
offer if not to-day or to-morrow,
then later. Keturn you arc sure to,
for what can you, friendless and mon
eyless, do in London?"
Henri fount), in the same, iu the
house of a weaver, a modest apart
meut that answered his purpose.
He no'v began to look diligently
about for some means of earning a
livelihood, and thought no more of
the salad adventure uutil he was re
minded of it in a manner that, fn his
impoverished condition, was most
agreeable.
Four or Gve days bad elapsed,
when one morning he received a
note in which he was politely reques
ted to do the writer a favor to come,
on a certain da, at a specified hour
to one of the handsomest mansions in
(Jrosvenor square, in Order that the
guests at a largo dinner party might
profit by his skill in salad dressing.
(Jrosvenor square in those davs
was the most fashionable part of
Loudon. Once favorably know in
that neibgborhood, and his fame
could not fail to extend throughout
the city. The young Frenchman
had sufficient sagacity tb see that his
skill in dressing salads might be
made to retrieve his fortune ;hc there
fore spent the tune intervened be
tween the receipt of the note and the
day on which he ,vas to visit the
square in making some experiments,
which finally resulted to Ins entire
satisfaction.
He was punctual aud found tho
principal ingredients for the dish he
was called upon to prepare awaiting
his arrival. In a little box which he
carried with him he brought various
condiments he deemed ncccs.-itry to
enable him to acquit himself fn the
best possible manner. He was en
tirely successful and won the highest
praise ; but what gratified him most
was the liberal recompense he re
ceived for his trouble, which strength
ened his determination to reap what
ever pecuniary advantage from his
art he could.
Henri's hopes , and expectations
were more than realzed, t His sec
ond so-called Italian salad did much
more toward making him known than
he had anticipated. In a very few
days he received another invitation,
or rather order; soon afterward
another, and within a month it was
not considered "the thing" at a gala
dinner to offer one's guests a salad
that was not dressed by the young
French nobleman.
And one day, not long after this
happy turn in his affairs D'Abignac
paid a vicit to his former landlord who,
as soon as he recovered from tho
surprise the young man's triumphant
mien occasioned, asked, in hisbrusrjue
manner.
"Well, have you come to your sen
ses at last ? Have you decided to
accedt my proposal and peddle my
vegetables for me ?"
"Xo, I have not decided to peddle
jour vegetables for you, but to buy
them," replied D'AIbignac.
"Eh, what! have you lost your
wits ?" replied the astonished huck
ster. "A madman would hardly come to
you with so rational a prouosition,"
returned the Frenchman smiling
"Then you are really in earliest ?"
"Ay, really in earnest. True, I
have no use for all that grows in the
gardens that supply you, but 1 will
take a very consi J. r ible portion of j'ou
namly all that portion that is used
i in
prcparm; the various kinds of
salad provided we can agree as to
prices."
I'll, 1 have no objections, re
plied Cornhill. "A fair price and
! prompt pavments is all I ask."
i A few (lavs later, the younr noble-
man provided himself with a light
wagon in which i:i tubs, baskets and
boxes, he could take with him a sup
ply of the various ingredients that en
ter into the composition of the vari
ous kinds of salads. Thus provided,
it was an easy matter for him to
serve his patrons, and it is no wonder
that, in time, he came to be known
throughout London as the "Salad
king."
After some months he took a shop
and dealt in everything used in his
specialty and by close attention to
business, and taking advantage of
every opportunity that offered, he
acquired in a comparatively short
time a little fortune amounting to
eighty thousand francs, with which
he determined to return to France.
Arrived in Paris, he invested sixty
thousand francs in State securities'
which at that time were selling con
siderably below par, and consequent
ly paid him a handsome interest.
With his remaining twenty thousand
francs he purchased a small land es
tate in Limousin which still remains
in posession of his family.
The story of D'Albi-rnac is vouch
ed fur by the famous French epicure,
ISrillat Savarin, who tells it iu his
"Physiology of Taste," and says he
knew the "Salad King" personal
ly. Fillmore'. Pre.ltlenry.
At this time some personal sketch
es of the men whom President Fill
more associated with himself in the
management of the executive depart
ment of the government may not bo
uninteresting. The Buffalo Express
says: On assuming the Presidency
Mr. F. dispensed entirely with Mr.
Taylor's Cabinet and formed a new
one, which, it must be admitted by
all, was much stronger than that of
his predecessor in fact one of the
strongest the country has ever known.
At first however, he bad quite as
much trouble as did Gen. Grant, in
the spring of 1869. Places were of
fered to James A. Pearee, Edward
Bates and T. M. T. McKennan, all of
whom declined. The Cabinet was
finally formed of the following mem
bers, who remained in it the greater
part of Mr. Fillmore's administra
tion. Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts
Secretary of State; Thomas Corwin
of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury;
Charles M. Conrad, of Louisiana,
Secretary of War ; William A. Gra
ham, of North Carolina, Secretary of
the Navy; Alexander H. H. Stuart
of Virginia, Secretary of tbe Interior;
John J. Crittenden, ofKentucky, At
torney General, and Nathan K. Hall,
of New York, Postmaster Gener
al. Three of thcse(.Messrs Webster,
Corwin and Critteuden.) were among
the most prominent statesmen of the
Whig party. The claim of Daniel
Webster to be considered the fore
most of Americans could, at that time
disputed by Henry Clay alone. At
the tinic of his appointment by Mr.
Fillmore he was sixty-eight years old
and had previously held the same
post of Secretary of State in the
Cabinets of President Harrison and
Tyler, besides having been for nearly
thirty years a leader in the Senate.
Like Mr. Fillmore, he was a candi
date for the Whig nomination for
President in 1852, but both were de
feated by General Scott. Dying in
the following October, he was suc
ceeded as Secretary by Edward Ever
ett, also of Massachusetts, the distin
guished writer and orator.
Thomas Corwin, Secretary of the
Treasury, though one of the fore
most men of the big party, had a
much higher reputation as a jovial
stump-speaker than as a financier
yet he was a man of great intellectu
al power and moral courage. Like
his chief he had risen from the low
est level by strength of will and vig
or of brain. He had been a promi
nent Representative and Senator,
and was fifty six years old at the
time he entered the Cabinet. After
the expiration of -Mr. Fillmore's term
and the breaking up of tne whig par
ty, Corwin held an intermediate po
sition on tho slavery question be
tween the Republicans and Demo
crats. He was, however, elected to
Congress in 185S (we think by the
Republicans), but died not far from
the breaking out of the war.
Charles M. Conrad, Secretary of
War had not attained national prom
inence pefore his entrance into the
Cabinet, and did not retain it after
his exit. Like most Southerners, he
supposed the cause of secession, and
during the rebellion was occasionally
heard of as a speaker or writer in its
favor. According to the public
journals he has died sirice the close of
the war.
William A. Graham, Secretary of
the Navy, was better known than
his colleague of the War Department
having been a Senator from North
Carolina, and also Governor of that
State. He was but forty-ve years
old when appointed Secretary of the
Navy. Being nominated for Vice
President on the ticket with General
Scott, he resigned bis post in June,
1852, only to be overwhelmingly de
feated in the succeeding autumn.
Retiring to private life, he has been
little heard of since. Though not
an original secessionist, he was not
Unionist enough to resist the desire
j to le on the popular side. He em-
umsvu uii Lite nut; ui ii'tii'iiiijii, miu
during the war represented North
Carolina in the Confederate Senate.
He still survives, and about two
years ago was president ot tho "Cabi
net reunion" in this city, the other
members present being Mr. Fillmore
himself Mr. Graham and Mr. Hill.
Alexander H. II. Stuart occupied
the then new post of Secretary of the
Interior during Mr. Fillmore's term
without special distinction, and cer
tainly without discredit. In regard
to the new issue which afterwards
arose he held about the s.tme position
as Mr. Graham, first opposing and
then espousing secession. Since the
war he has been frequently talked of
as a "Conseavative" Senator from
Virginia, but that honor has been
carried off by more thorongh going
secessionists.
John J. Crittenden Attorney Gen-
cral.Jwas i'lj n e lcet thestrongestjman
iu the Cabiuet, next to ebster, and
ranked among the first of American
statesmen. Thirty-two years before
then thirty two years old, he took
his seat iu the United States Senate
which, at intervals, he occupied sev
eral terms. He had also been At
torney General under Presidents
Harris jnjand Tay!o-, and Governor
Kentucky. In the affections of the
people of that State he stood next to
Henry Clay. Mr. Crittenden was a
representative of the better portion
of the Southern "chivalry;" ardent
and high spirited, yet free from the
intolerance aud the lawlessness which
too frequently marred the Southern
character. In 1854 Le was again'
elected to the Senate. Throughout
the exciting debates on the Kansas
question, he acted with marked
moderation, and opposed the admis
sion of Kansas under the Lecomb
tion Constitution, as the era grew
more stormy, the venerable Senator
felt the greatest pain at the thought
of being compelled to choose between
warring sections. In the winter of
ISO I he introduced into the Senate
the celebrated "Crittenden Compro
mise." proposing to extend the .Mis
souri line to the Pacific ocean and
engraft it on the Constitution. This'
however, was not satisfactory to the
friends of either freedom or slavery.
When the war broke out Mr. C. had
the misfortune to see two of his sons
fighting on opposite sides, General
Thomas L. Crittenden being in the
Union, and General George IJ. Crit
tenden in the Confederate ranks.
These public and private calamities
united with great age to bring him
speedily to the grave.
Of Nathan K. Hall it is needless
to speak to Buffalonians, especially
as his recent decease has revived in
their memories all the incidents of
his career.
Edward Everett, who after Mr.
Webster's death, held for a few
months, the secretaryship of State,
occupied no permanent office after
ward though he was a candidate for
Vice Presidency in 1861, on the
"Constitutional Uuion," more com
monly called the "Bell-Everett,"
tiicket. During the war gave a
decisive adherence to the Union
cause, and in I860 was chosen a
Presidential Elector, and helped
to cast the vote of Massachusetts in
favor of Lincoln. He died shortly
afterward.
John P. Kennedy, of Maryland,
who was secretary of the Navy after
Graham's resignation, was like Mr.
Everett one of the few literary politi
cians of America, having been not
only a prominent Congressman, but
quite a noted author. He passed
from public on life his retirement from
the Cabinet but was a firm Union
man during the war. He died a
short time since.
When Postmaster General Hall
was appointed Judge his place was
filled by Hon. Samuel M. Hubbard
of Connecitcut but we arc able to
give no information of either his
antecedent or subsequent lii'e.
It will be seen that nearly if not
quite all of Mr. Fillmore's chief
advisers were like himself, men of
moderate opinions and cantions dis
positions. Every one we think, who
was then living supported Fillmore
and Donelson 1850, and Bell and
Everett in 1800.

Last night I witnessed, says a cor
respondent of the Timrx, the discom
fiture of two young American ladies
who cvidehtly did not understand tho
customs of tbe country. They enter
ed the Cafe Tortoni, Boulevard des
Italiens, about !) o'clock in the even
ing, unaccompanied, and the waiter
declined to serve them with ice cream.
They were politely told that it was
the rule of the establishment not to
serve ladies alone, and thev were
obliged to pass out under the gaze of
a number of ladies and gentlemen sit
ting at the tables. Their faces show
ed that they were honest girls, and
that they were intensely humiliated.
They thought that they could enter
here and eat their ice cream as", com
fortably and securely as at many es
tablishments on Broadway. The
Cafe Tortoni is one of the most re
spectable places in Paris, and its
ices famous. They are found on the
tables of the aristocratic and official
world at all grand dinners, and in a
word, they are delicions. This is
one of the" few places in the city
where gentlemen go with their wives.
This reputation for respectability
could never be kept up except by
making it an inexorable rule not to
serve ladies unaccompanied. Ameri
can girls are apt to think that they
can take care of themselves in any
part of the ' world, and that may be
true if they conform to the customs
of the country in which they are; but
here two American girls cannot go
out unaccompanied at nine o'clock in
the evening, to get ice cream, with
out being liable to a viauri quart'
d'havre. In fine with all due dc-feranct)-to
those who think other
wise, I do Hot think that American
girls should promenade tbe streets ol
Paris at night without a gentleman
protector. I may render a service
to some one by saying that tbe respec
table cafes do not serve ladies alone,
and I cannot imagine that American
girls would enter the other sort, ex
cept by error or ignorance. Accom
panied by a gentleman they are just
as free from insult or annoyance as
in tfccir'owa cousm.

Mr. Joseph Springer is a jn-a.-able
married man who lives on Detroit
street, near the western city limits.
He has in bis employ a maid servant
who has a young man that not only
calls regularly but irregularly. The
maid servant's beau is possessed of
an appetite that requires frequent sat
isfying, and during his visit to the
Springer mansion, pus, doughnuts,
cheese, cookies, cold meat, preserves
and other nutritious 'and palitable ar
ticles, disappeared like dew befoie
the morning sun, or hot gridule cakes
before a hired man.
Since the panic Las demoralized
men and things Springer has been
trying to economize in varions direc
tions, and among other leaks that he
sought to stop was that of feeding his
hired girl's beau, Springer even went
so far as to tell his handmaid that
she could only receive visiu from her
lover on Wednesday aud Saturday
nights, as the expense of fire, lights
and provisions five nights out of sev
en was too much. Tbe maid of all
work pouted, burned tbe toast and
serve dish water coffee for several
mornings, but finally seemed to ac
cept the situation and resume her
wonted cheerfulness.
Such was the state of affairs up to
last Friday night, when it appears
"Sarah's young man," unable to
stand the pangs of hunger or love un
til Sat urday night, rapped at the
kitchen door of Spinger's house, and
was admitted. About eleven o'clock
p. ni. the hand maid, in obedience to
a hint from her admirer, took the
lamp in hand and proceeded down
cellar in search of something for him
to eat. Though she used every pre
caution not to awaken the Springer
family, asleep up stairs, yet, as she
opened the cellar door, a strange cat
bounded'out into tbeYoom unbeknown
to her, and a moment later emitted
one of those sad and melancholy
howls that cats are wont to give
when concealed in a strange room.
Mrs. Springer heard the cat yell
and after digging at Springer's skins
with Le. toe nails until he was awake,
she said, "Go down stairs, Mr. Sprin
ger, and let that cat out of the house."
Springer hated the job, but was forc
ed to comply, and descending the
stairs in his night shirt and bare feet,
found himself in the dining room,
where all about him was dark as
pitch. The maid servant's beau
heard Springer deseeding the stairs,
and fearing that if he were found
there it might make trouble in the
family, began to fell his way toward
the back door. In doing so, howev
er, he tripped over the chair his
sweetheart had been occupying, and
fell headlong into a clothes horse
full of garments that were being
dried by the kitchen stove. The
clothes horse struck the cat in Us
fall, and with another howl of mis
ery, that animal began to cavort
around the room, scale the walls and
climb the tables seeking for and
exit.
"Great Moses! what ails that cat?"
6aid Springer, as he enter d the
kitchen, only to fall over tbe unfor
tunate lover, who was trying to get
untangled from the clothes horse and
clothing.
"Burglars! murder !" yelled
Springer, as he clutched the supposed
thief beneath him, who. iu h is strug
gles to get away, upset the table full
or breakfast dishes.
The handmaid bearing the muss,
came rushing up stairs so fast that
tbe lamp was extinguished, and ar
rived in the kitchen jnst in time to
get kicked in the pit of the stomach
by one of the struggling men on the
floor, and dropping the lamp and
plate of -doughnuts she had in her
hands,' she, too, doubled up with a
shriek of pain and fell on the floor in
a hysterical fit.
Mrs. Springer who was only half
awake, heard her husband yell mur
der, and bounding out of bed came
sliding down stairs in a sitting post
ure, and as she entered the kitchen,
from whence came sounds of deadly
strife, curses and shriekes, the cat
who had partially caused the troub
le, bolted through a window, and be
fore Mrs. S. could collect her senses,
the hired girl's beau had succeeded
in getting out of Springer's grasp and
followed the cat through the same ap
erture. The handmaid hearing her
lover escape arose, procured a light,

braggart had been ostentatiously
speculating on the occurrence in ad

took. After waiting in vain for an
acceptance, and not even receiving
an answer, he went personally to de
mand an explanation. "Gen. Scott,
you received my challenge ?" "Your
challenge was delivered." "But I
have never received an acknowledg
ment or an acceptance of it." "I pre
sume not, sir.as I have sent neither."
"But of course vou mean to accept

not accept my chalcnge ? Is it pos

"I do with yon sir, coolly respond

of satisfaction left but to post you as

Ha, ha, ha I Post a way, sir; but if

A remarkable incident, says the
Kansas City Time, occurred a few
nights since in the residence of Mrs.
S. S. Newmeyer. This lady resides
with her two daughters, aged 11 and
13 year.-, in a small frame house, and
has for the past two or three months
been suffering from accute mental
anxiety, on account of the death of
her husband, in December last. Mrs.
Newmeyer had been adicted to sleep
the walking and restlessness during
night, seldom sleeping more than half
a night at a time. So much has
this habit of sleep-walking increased
upon their mother, that one of the
other or the daughters has been ob
liged to keep constant watch lest
something might befall her. A pecu
liarity about this somnambulism haa
been a desire of the sleep-walker to
vif.it the parlor of the house, and
take a seat in the chair directly oppo
site the one usually occupied by ber
husband in life. The daughters
have frequently found her thus seated
asleep,' with a lamp burning upon the
parlor table.
On Monday nighi Emma the youn
ger of the girls, was awakened by
hearing a loud crash in the parlor
ami a noise as if some person or per
sons was running from the front
yard. Ongoing to the parlor they
found their mother seated as usual
fast asleep in Ler chair, the lamp
burning upon the table and the front
window wide open. A closer exam
ination diselosed a man's hat and
several burglar's tools, and from the
appearance of the sideboard and
bureau it was plainly evident that
thieves must have been at work
when the sleep-walker glided into
the room. She must have caused
quite a stampede for the thieves did
not stop to pick up their tools or their
booty. They evidentiy supposed the
apparation something supernatural
and left their night's work for others
to finish. From fc '.-prints on the
snow their appear to have been twi
persons in the house. Mrs. Newmy
er was escorted to her room without
trouble, and feels very nervous
lest she should again fall ino dan
ger. Tbe Kentucky lafaat.
A Kentucky paper gives the fol
lowing account of a huge infant
named Dero Edward Chambers, born
two years and a half ago, in Barron
county, in that State: When about
three months old he began to fleshen
and soon attracted the serious atten
tion of his parents and immediate
frientls. His accumulation of fat
has been uninterrupted and now ha
exhibits an obesity of huge alderma
nic proportions. We visited him
and made a careful examination and
measurement which we give to the
curions public. His parents are the
rtvers of their infantile representative
so far as physical proportion is con
cerned. The father, Smith E. Cham
bers, is a delicate, spare-made man,
of not vigorous looks, and weighs 127
pounds; the mother is small, delicate
ly built, and weighs Ml pounds.
Dero, the young giant, stands in
perpendicular measurement, 37 inch
es. The ruensurment around the
wrist is 10 inches, and above the
elbow, lt! inhes. The leg around
the calf gives a circumference of IS
inches and the thigh the enormous
length around of "23 1-4 while the
hips take full 4 S inches of tape to
circulate their hugeness. Around

In Washington they tell a story
about Ralph Johnson, who became
alarmed when the ladies came and
prayed in his saloon. The next day
Ralph went to them almost broken
hearted, and said if he could only
get rid of five barrels of whisky
which he had on hand he would join
the temperance cause himself.
"We will buy your poisonous
whisky and pay you for it," said the
ladies.
"All right," said Ralph, and h
took $300 and rolled the whisky out.
Tbe ladies emptied the whisky out
Ralph went to Lynchburg, where
tbey had 11,000 barrels of proof
whisky in store and bought a new lot
"What do you mean by doing
this, Mr. Johnson?" asked a member
of the church.
"Well," replied Ralph, "my cus
tomers war kinder partic'Iar like, and
that thar old whiskey was so dog-on
weak that I couldn'i sell it to 'em no
how, but it did not hurt the ladies,
for it was just as good as the proof
whisker to wash down the gutters
with.""
