ffimyBtoror.who recently fig-
urod in thc limelight as a vigorous but
unsuccessful exponent of diplomacy, hn.i
had other fads besides politics. She is
a woman of unbounded energy, and ap
plies herself with much zeal to what
ever she goes in for. Before her mar
riage to Mr. Storcr she was Mrs. George
Ward Nichols of Cincinnati, and one
of her early ambitionB was to initiate
Americans into tho delights of thc
French salon. She pressed tho unwill
ing Mr. Nichols into service, and thev
had "regular evenings devoted to art.4'
, While she did not meet with the meas
, ure of success ho had anticipated, it. can
be said that it was duo to her efforts
that the first specimens of Rookwood
pottery were made in thc United States.
Wherever the "female embassadress' '
went in her diplomatic journeys she con
tinued her quest for pottery of rare, col
oring and delicate line, and sheow has
the most remarkable collection in Amer
ica. When Judge Page Morris wns a Con
gressman from Minnesota, .ho was sore
beset, by relatives from various parts of
the count Ty who besieged him with hun
dreds of senseless questions. The judge
was intense and excitable, and when
provoked had a trick of pulling fero
ciously at his long hair. Shortly after
the adjournment of one of the sessions
of Congress, ho received a long "col
lect" message, from a brother of his,
who was a pastor in Natchez, Miss. The
minister wanted to know if thc report
that Congress had adjourned was true.
This was tho final straw. Turning to his
secretary tho judge ahoutcd: "Tele
graph that fool brothor of mine that
Congress has not been in session for
three years; that he has been misin
formed." Macklyn Arbuckle, who plays thc title
role in George Adc's "County Chair
man," was once a candidate for justice
of the peace in Texarkana, Texas. At
that, time the genial star was harassed
by a serious shortage of funds. He mado
a deal with the manager of a Mexican
restaurant to furnish him meals for $3
a week. However, the Mexican hoBt
knew something about the rapacious ap
petites of aspiring politicians, so he
protected himself from possible loss by
making the stipulation that whenever
ho considered that Arbuckle ljad con
sumed $3 worth of food, thc politician
wns to finish out the week on squirrel
soup. Mr. Arbuckle had plenty or flesh
to spare, and thc arrangement was
working beautifully, until his political
opponent, found it out and told tli.e story
in one of his specchos. "Of course, vou
know, feller citizens, " said the divulger
of the secret., "wo cain'fc have no man
fur jesticc of the poaco in this yere -town
who. lives on squirrel soup. Wh?,
the first time he's let, loose jest as like
as not he'll turn tail and run up the
nearRst. tree." Mr. Arbuckle lost tho
election, and in desperation went on the
stage.
