Pennsylvania avenue was gay with
flying flags and bunting. The crowd
on the pavements, kept from over
flowing the curbstone by the force of
mounted police, was larger than the
city had seen for years.
On the corner of Twelfth and the
avenue the people who had been un
uble to decide whether they prefeft-od
seeing the man of the hour start from
the White House or arrive at tho capl
tol had finally formed a congests mob
that concluded to let well enough alone
and save the wear and tear of further
progress.
A group of cowboys In their best
western iluery Joked a crowd of girls
that had turned out to see the proces
sion. Two Indians, decorated with
every specimen of button, badge and
feather, stood with stolid patience Just
where the crowd was thickest.
A man In a light overcoat towered
head and shoulders nbovo the rest. A
newsboy reached up with a variegated
cane and tilted his derby raklshly to
one side. "Wisht I was up In tho
clouds with you, mister," he grinned.
"I could review this procession to bet
ter advantage."
"I might as well be stone blind,"
came a plaintive voice whose owner's
diminutive stature was wedged In bo
tween the Indians and the man with
the light coat, "and I reckon I'd bo
rather more comfortable If I were
stone dead lit the same time."
Belle}' looked down from his height
of six feet three with a smile at the
humor of the situation. "It's too bad,"
he said pityingly. "Push back this way
a little— l can elbow the crowd at tho
side a bit might be dangerous to push
forward into those Indians—don't
think I ever saw any more decorated
specimens they may have tomahawks
In every pocket for all of you."
The girl laughed and moved toward
him. "I don't mind them." She show
ed a row of white teeth and black
eyes sparkling with excitement "I'm

that that newsboy with tho cane asked
me If I was the squaw that belonged
to the Indian gentleman!"
Sedley had already roeopmlzed her
voice ns belonging to a daughter of tho
far south, and when she turned her
fare toward him her Creole ancestry
was a certainty.
"1 hare lost my crowd I tried to
take a little walk by myself before It
wag time to start for the grand'stand,"
she said, with frank friendliness, "and
I hare lost my hotel. I don't know
where nnythlng on earth is except Just
me." Her sentence ended with a little
gasp as the crowd made a sudden Im
pulse forward.
"Ann I'm afraid among your other
losses you are going to lose your view
of the president," said Hedley, trying
to keep the crowd from Jostling her.
"How much can you see from down
there ?"
"Oh, 1 can't see anything but two
buckskin Jackets. They may be very
nice In the buckskin line, but I want
to s«s> the president. I never saw a
real live president In my life," dole
fully.
"He's almost here," he said. "I won
der If—er—you would let me—er—lift
you up so you could see him?" he sug
gested, with u touch of good natured
shyness.
"Oh, would you?" she exclaimed,
with the volume of gratitude of one
who has been granted a heart** desire.
"I weigh a hundred and one. Do you
think yon could hold me till he pass
ed?" anxiously.
"Just try me," he said, Binlling as he
lifted her until she beamed happily
over the two greased heads In front of
them.
The president in acknowledging the
cheers that burst forth gave a purely
personal smile of amusement and good
will to a girl whose sparkling face rose
clear above the mass and who in her
excitement snatched a derby hat and
waved It enthusiastically.
"I»ld you see him smile at me?" she
ask«>d breathlessly, when her feet
touched the pavement.
"I don't Bee how he eould help it."
Sedley took her arm and drew her to
one side, M th« people hurried on to
ward Mie capitol. "If you will give
loe some Information on the subject,
I will see If I can help you And that
lost hotel."
"You are Just as good as can lie,"
she said gratefully. "It's the Wlllard,
and 1 know papa is frantic about me
by this time."
"The \V 11 lard ? That's easy." And
Bedley's conscience Justified the
"around your elbow to get your
thumb" route which he took to the
hotel, by the theory that It was easier
to walk bl* blocks through practically
•mpty streets than to walk two
against a surging mob.
When they reached the hotel, he
took his leave reluctantly. "I wonder
If It would l>e rude to say I would
like to meet you again?" he asked.
"I don't think It would verj\"
There was amusement In her eyes.
M l'ai>a would probably like to thank
you for finding this lost hotel."
When she told hlui her name and
her native stato, Sedley's face bright
ened visibly. "Do you happen to know
tho congressman from the Second dis
trict?" he asked eagerly.
"Know him? He read law In papn's
efflce," she said.

The congressman helped himself to
the macaroni and smiled broadly.
"All right. Sedley, my boy; I'll ar
range It. That's the belle of our state.
I don't wonder that you show symp
toms of having It in the very worst
] form."
tine afternoon a week later Sedley
guided Norvelle Oalllaird through the
corridors of the Congressional library,
wearing an expression that would havo
affirmed the opinion that thero was no
occupation or pursuit ever followed by
man that was one-half as pleasant as
guiding sightseers over Washington.
While she ro.} the old English Inscrip
tions he wondered If his native Boston
ever saw a hat that compared with the
girl's little red turban, or If Boston
ever saw anything so perfect as the
glowing face set off by her chinchilla |
furs.
"Was that turban made from n bird
of paradise?" lie asked musingly.
"Bird of paradise?" She left tin* old
English Inscriptions and turned toward
him laughing. "Your study of orni

despondently.
Norvelle laughed at bis woeful i'aci. j
"You must Im> a Yankee of deepest
dye" reproachfully "to think going
south is such a terrible ordeal. You
ought togo see our south before you
say tilings about it."
"May I really come?" he asked, and
his voice made her lower licr eyes anil
commence a study of the American
Beauty she wore on her coat.
"Wo are a hospitable people," she
said evasively, "and our house Is very
large."
He leaned forward earnestly, trying
to see her eyes. "But I don't want to

She gave him u glimpse of iier eyes.
"It would make me liappy." she said

laying his palm covertly over tin 1 little

BEAU BRUMMEL.
Some Incident* In the Mfp of Thin
!\ot«*<l Fntfllnh Fop.
An English paper prints a number of
stories of Beau Brummel, some of
which perhaps are not generally
known. At the Pavilion, at Brighton,
he ordered the footman to empty his
snuffbox into the fire because a bishop
had taken a pinch unasked. A man
whom he had met at dinner offered
him a lift in his carriage to Lady Jer
sey's ball. "Thank you exceedingly,"
said the Beau, "but how are you togo?
You would not like to get up behind,
and I cannot be seen in the same car
riage with you." He made no secret
of his humble birth and when asked
about his parents declared that "the
poor old creatures both cut their
throats years ago eating peas with a
knife." Once at least Brummel met
his match. He was playing hazard at
Brooks', when a well known alderman,
a brewer, was one of the party.
"Come, Mashtub," said Brummel, who
was the caster, "what's your set?"
"Twenty-five guineas," was the reply.
"Well, then, have at the mayor's pony,"
said Brummel, who proceeded to cast,
and by a run of luck won the stake
twelve times in succession. Pocketing
the money, lie thanked the brewer and
promised that lu future he would drink
no one's porter but his. "I wish, sir,"
replied the brewer, "that every other
blackguard In London would tell me
the same."

If Anne Maria Jones had been born
11 beauty or even moderately pretty this
Btory would not lmvo to bo written.
With a snub nose, hair, eyes and com
plexion of the same piece and no figure
to speak of, even a robust vanity can
not deceive. Anne Maria's vanity was
not robust. llow should it be when 6ho
had a beautiful sister, upon whom the
family hopes and the family expendi
tures equally centered? But Anne Ma
ria had understanding. Since she could
not be ornamental, she resolved to be
useful. Moreover, she had a palate
rare In women kind and a deft way In
the kitchen that was worlh n lot of
looks.
You begin to perceive tlie relation of
tilings. If she had been a beauty she
wouldn't have been a cook. And then

cranky, who bad two cares In 11£«---
keeping his Indigestion and ids free
dom. To say that he was nice over his
eating is putting it quite too mildly.
It was the same regarding bis single
estate. He thought every girl who was
even civil to him had visions of dower
or alimony tloatlng through her bead.
And he was firmly resolved never to
marry; also quite as firmly resolved
that Ills nephew, Alonzo, should not llvo
a bachelor nor marry any wife save
one of the captain's choosing.
Judge Jones, Anne Maria's fath'/r,
had been at college with the captain.
Naturally when a business deal
brought the captain to the judge's town
he was made very welcome In the
Jones home Naturally also Alonzo,
who came along, went down before
Louella, the beauty. Then the captain
called him names and sent him pock
ing, saying gruffly, "If you want my
money togo to charity Just marry any
thing named Jones."
When Louella heard that she tossed
her head ai.d went on a long visit to
her city aunt. Anne Maria stny«*d at
home, keeping very much out of thfc
captain's way, but getting up such
dishes for him as lie had not tasted
since his mother died. Good feeding
is held to breed good temper, br.t the
captain must have been born to set
rule and proverbs at defiance. Th«
fatter he got the crankier he showed
himself to be. Indeed, Judge JonsM
gave Anne Maria a caution at the end
of the third fortnight, saying: "If jotl
feed up that old wretch much more
there'll be no doing business with him.
As matters stand this whole tiling
hinges on his consent, and yesterday
he let us know in full board that un
less he has his own way in everything,
from the weignt of tne rails to the
names of the stations, the railroad will
never be built. The final meeting when
all must be decided comes oil two days
hence. If only you could make the cap
tain ill—too 111 to be In his seat but
really I don't believe It Is possible. He
has the stomach of an ostrich, al
though he talks dyspepsia half the
time.
Anne Maria sighed, thou smiled, but
said nothing. She studied half the
night and next morning said privately
to the judge: "Don't come home to
lunch, father. I shall send something
to tho office. And be sure you keep
the captain to eat with you." Then
she disappeared in the direction of the
kitchen, smiling oddly, and also »lgh
ing the least bit In the world.
"What have wo here? As I live,
fried pies; Jerusalem, how my mouth
waters! I can eat an acre of 'em any
day!" the captain cried as toward 1
o'clock that day Jndgo Jones threw
back the damask cover of the laden
tray that had Just been set on top of
his big desk. "And rm hungry as u
wolf! 'ilils is luck!" the captain went
011, seizing one of the rich br< vn
greasy half moons and popping o
end of it into his mouth. It came ai
with a clean semicircular cut so
thing less than four inches acr
"Dried peach pies!" the captain in
bled ecstatically, chewing hard. "!
dried peaches too! Where, where
you find 'em, Jones? Never tasted a
thing so good In all my life!"
"You must ask the women,"
Judge said, chuckling behind his hand,
lb iH'gau to see thO inethod of Anno
Maria's madness. Hospitably lie press
ed the other tilings on the captain, but
without avail. The first pie disappear
ed in exactly 11 minute. Tho second
required u minute and a half. Then
the Judge lost count, though his inter
est was still keen. He smiled nffably
when the captain said in a conscience
strieken voice:
"Cod bless me! Jones, I've eaten ev
ery |>lr! Such a pile of them too! But
you'll forgive me, I don't get 'em only
niKV !u a blue moon. Besides, alter this
Hick out 1 shan't want anything for at
lea>t t wo days."
"You're mare than \ 1 >me," • the
Judge said hospitably* li vhtint* a cigar.
The captain waved asi c a proffered
pipe. "Wouldn't spoil tb alter taste of
my pies for a fortune," he said. "I'm
going right now to sleep away the after
noon. Indeed, 1 feel like sleeping till to
morrow morning."

to eat it with a boy's a: .>~"t • in late
middle age made It quite another thing.
Tho peaches had been as sweet and
spiced as tlie pastry was greasy. To
gether they kept the poor captain 111 all
night long. In the morning he was
weak and wan—so weak the bare
thought of food revolted him. lie got
up and staggered about the room, but
found It Idle to think of going out
Then came the judge to whisk him
away to his house In spite of the cap
tain's weak and wavering protests,
"Leave you here! Not much Ilo'els
are dreary places for sick men," the
Judge said heartily, meaning quite half
ho said. And the captain found himself
established Instate In the Jones' spare
room, with Anno Maria lllttlng noise
lessly In and out to fetch him gruel or
clam broth or some other thing lie need
ed but did not crave.
Thus skillfully encouraged, Indiges
tion kept him prisoner threo full days.
When ho at last got out it was to find
the railway pact mado beyond overset
ting. That, however, did not trouble
him so much as a nearer personal con
corn. Alonzo must bo told. Rut how?
There lay the rub. Alonzo was still
sulking afar off. At least tho captain
believed so. I 'esperately ho decided on
heroic measures. After the decision ho
took Anne Maria for a quiet drive—
Anne Maria In her best frock and her
most demure smile. When they came
back the captain sent Alonzo a dis
patch :
"Come home. I have married a Jones.
llclp me break It to the old folks."
The answer was d layed, nnd the
captain was fuming when It came. As
he tore it open Anne Maria read over
his shoulder: "Congratulations] So have
I. We will break It to the old folks to
gether."

Women art' revengeful creatures. In
a little town a few miles away in

He wanted her to remarry him, and
he promised to be a different man If
she would. She had gone to her peo

DREADFUL DREAMS.
Tliry Shock the Vrrviiim SjKlem nnd
Mny I'vi'ii lauir Heath.
I'c.iple have actually been killed by
dreams. Most persons have suffered
from those terrible nightmare visions
In which the victim is pursued by an
assassin with upraised knife or Is
trembling on the "edge of a fearful
precipice or is in sonic other Imminent
dang r of a sudden and terrible death,
'iliev dre .r, are common enough, and
marly always the sufferer awakes,
thankful an 1 ha,; . at his escape. But
sometimes he doesn't awake. Some-
the knife falls or the sleeper 111
his hallucinations plunges down the
precipice. These are the dreams that
kill, says the ('liicago Tribune.
In cases where dreams kill there Is a
sort of combined action between the
dream and the disease through which
death is accomplished. In the first
place the dream is usually the product
of the disease. A person may have
heart dlsen e which never asserts it
sell' or allows the victim in any way to
know of it- presence until the fact Is
disclosed in a frightful dream More
over, terrifying dreams are often the
first evidence of heart disease. Then
the frequent recurrence of these
dreams, dealing repeated shocks to the
nervous system, aggravates the disease
until the heart is so weak that one
more shock is sufficient to cause death.
If a person has had dreams it does
not necessarily follow, however, that
he has heart disease. Dreams indicat
ing heart disease are usually of a terri
fying nature and relate to death. On
awakening the sufferer will notice tt
violent heart palpitation. Chronic peri
carditis Is always preceded by horrible
dreams, such as that of being thrown
into a lake of lire or being crushed in
a railroad wreck or burned by a vol
canlc erupt ion.
The approach of insanity may also
be revealed by unpleasant dreams, or
Insanity may be hastened by such
dreams. There are many cases on rec
ord where a person has been driven In
sane by a dream.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
•rroriliiiß to John Acliiiiin, It Should
lie Jul) I*.
On the ltd of July, 177<>, John Adu'uis,
then one of the representatives of Mas
sachusetts in the Continental congress,
wrote to his wife Abigail:
"Yesterday the greatest quest ion was
decided which was ever debated iu
America, and a greater perhaps never
was nor will Ik? decided among men."
In a second letter, written the same
day, he said:
"But the day is past. The lid of July
will be the most memorable epoeha in
the history of Ynierica. lam apt to be
lieve that it will be celebrated by suc
ceeding g i rations as the great anni
versary festival, it ought to be com
incinerated as the day of deliverance
l>y solemn a( t < of devotion to God Al
mighty. it ought to be solemnized
with poiap and parade, with show.",
games, sports, guns, bells, bontires and
illuminations from one end of this con
tinent to the other from this time for
ward. foreveriiiorc."
When the resolution was taken up on
the 2d, all the states, except New York,
voted to accept it. Thus, on the 2d
day of July, 177« i, the Independence
of the thirteen united colonies from
the throne of Great Britain was defi
nitely decided upon. The 2d, and not
the 4th, may be called the true date of
the separation. We could with propri
ety celebrate the Fourth two days ear
lier. That the participants in the work
considered the 2d as the true date is
shown by the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning of the
article. The popular fancy, however,
seized upon the 4th, the date of accept
ance of Jefferson's more dramatic dec
laration of the reasons for the sepa
ration, as the proper day to celebrate.
The debate upon the document was
continued until the afternoon of tho
4th, and, says Jefferson, might have
run on Interminably at any other sea
son of the year. But tho weather was
oppressively warm, and the hall in
which the deputies sat was close to a
stable, "whence the hungry files
swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on
the legs of the delegates and biting
hard through their thin silk stockings.
Treason was preferable to discomfort."
and at last the delegates were brought
to such a state of mind as to agree to
the Declaration without further amend
ment.
It is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. It Is improbable that any
signing was done save by John Han
cock, the president of the congress, and
Charles Thomson, the secretary. Paul

AN INDIAN LEGEND.

AII Indian story that has been hand

Indian tril■ s is one about the trans
fornniti( 11 of leaves into birds. I<ong
years ag >, when the world was young,
the Great Spirt v\• lit about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his
feet t >uch I the ground lovely tre(«
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
iii ;ses. The leaves were very happy,
and the} ■ a'ig fheir sweet songs to tho
bi'ee/.e as it passed them. One day tho
wind told them the time would soon
come when they would have to fall
fro n the frees and die. This made the
leaves feci very bad, but they tried to
be bright and do the best they could
so as not t > make the mother trees un
happy Pent at last the time came, and
they let goof the twigs and branches
and fluttered to the ground. They lay
perfectly quiet, not able to move ex
cept as the wind -would lift them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that he did
not want to see them die, but live and
lie beautiful 112 irover, so he gave to each
bright leaf .t pair of wings and power
to fly. Then lie called them his "birds."
l'iotii the rod and I rown leaves of the j
o ik came the robins, and yell >w birds •
from the ,\ llow willow leaves, and \
from bright maple leaves he made the i
red bird The brown leaves became
wrens, sparrows and other brown i
birds. Tibs is why the birds love the j
trees and always goto them to build !
their nests and lo il< for food and slfflde. j
Kaii as 'ity Journal
i'or a \o':ii(_ Slsin With Money.
If I were a young man with a certain 1
amount of capital and desirous to in- ■
crease it at the expense of fools, I
should become a dealer in pictures and
In works of art. The prices paid at
nnotion f>r such articles by a few I
lie:! ■ bidding against each other are I
abused, although a vast number of i
very we; thy fools who purchase them J
from <i •.Ie are ready to pay stlli
higher. The mere fact that some
article 1. is been sold In an auction
room at a high price attracts thera,
and they buy it from the dealer nt a
higher one In order to be able to point
to it in their houses and to tell their
friends how much it cost them. The
1 dealer consequently makes much j
money by acting as a middleman, j
1 Whether there is an} arrangement to
run up the price among dealers I do
! not know, but I have always won
dered whether this is the case and
whether tli" original owner always
gets the soli ng price at the auction.—
