WHITE HOUSE COURTESY.
The Way Presidejr.t Polk Threw Down
the Barriers.
If any president of modern times
were to exhibit the otlicial indecency
that John Adams exhibited when Jef
ferson became president he would be
denounced by every reputable newspa
per and intelligent citizen of the land.
It: was then. as it is now. the accepted
duty of the retiring president to re
ceive the incoming pre.i~ent at the
White House and aeomip:any him to
the inauguration ceremonies, but the
last official act of Adams as president
was the nomination of a member of
what were called "midnight judges"
the night before the inauguration of
Jefferson. and during the night he
and his family withdrew from the
White House. leaving none but the
servants to receive the incoming presi
dent, writes Alexander I. McClure in
the Clrcle.
It 'was President Polk who first had
the c-ourage to disregard the political
passi-.'ns of the times by inviting Hen
ry C-:sy, who had been his competitor.
to dine with him and Mrs. Polk in the
Wh, House. It was near the close
of *e Polk administration, during
which Clay had been a senator most
of the time, and it shocked the Demo
cratic sentiment of the time when It
was announced that Clay had dined
with 'President Polk. not on a state oc
casion, but had been welcomed at. the
family dinner as a friend. Clay 'was
the soul of chtvalry, and Polk was a
man of unblemished character and
high attainments, and his example of
courtesy to Clay has never since been
broken. '

Catchirig Deer by Hand.
"This red deer," said the keeper,
"was caught by hand."
"But a red deer is the fleetest of the
fleet"
'-RIght you are, but this fellow 'was
caught by hand all the same. It Is a
feat that is often done in the winter In
the still woods choked ivith snow.
You see a deer and chase it Getting
confused, it soon deserts the firm deer
paths or runnings, and then it Is help
less. It flounders terribly, up to Its
neck in snow.
"You hurry toward It Harder and
hrder It struggles: more and more

England's Day.
April 23 Is a memorable day in Eng
lish history. To begin with, It is the
day dedicated to the patron saint of
England. St George. It was through
the crusaders that St George was
thus selected. He was born in Cappa
docio. and later his bravery against
the Romnans became a military tradi
tion; hence the regard for him on the
part of the English warriors who en
gaged In the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported- to have
been born and died. Later, in 1661,
Charles II. was crowned king os April
23. Lastly. Wordsworth died on this
momentous day.-Londonl Standard.

Breaking Wire.
Anybody who has tried to break a
piece ot wire without the aid of r. pair
of pinchers will probably agree that the
operation is both a difficult and pain
ful one. There is a method, however,
by which It may be easily accomplish
ed. By bending the wire Into a loop
and pulling both ends as tight as pos
slible an Injury wIll be caused to the
wire, which on being straightened will
Immediately break. By this means
wire up to No. 12 gauge may be suc
cessfully dealt with.

DISEASE AND PAIN.
The Theory That Suffering Is Mentz
More Than Physical.
A great deal of alleged physical 'ui
fering is primarily mental. A grea
many people have "fixed ideas" of dis
ease, pain. debility, fatigue, dread,.in
efficiency and unexpressible woes
Much often than we realize these cal
be transplanted without surgery o
medication. I do not mean that the:
are not real sufferings. They are a
real as the grave, but they are no
grounded In physical infirmity, ani
they are not to be cured with physics
The mind becomes possessed of a con
viction that a certain part of the bod:
is infirm and imputes pain to that par
in spite of all the medicine in the world
Hundreds of people refuse to get wel
after the physician has cured them. I
is not his fault, and it is not thei
fault. But they have simply had dis
ease suggested to them until they can
not think at all except upon that as
sumption. It is an "auto suggestion,
or it Is a family suggestion, and thi
only way to remove it is by the vigor
ous counter suggestion of another per
son. The value of a "fixed idea" o
health, as being only the removal of;
fixed idea of disease where there wa
no organic reason for it. will hardl:
be disputed. Yet one cannot overem
phasize the multitudes that there are
of these invalids sitting in padded chair
and making ready for the hearse whose
trouble is primarily mental, and hov
many there are, again, who have i
slight organic infirmity and have in
creased its effects a thousandfold b:
what we may call "household sugges
tion." - Max Eastman in Atlantis
Monthly.

Rev. I. W. Williams, Huntingtor

claim for it." W. E. Brown & Co.
AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly Build
For Her Young.
There is something really pathetic ii
the way a mother butterfly builds
nest for her children. In the firs
place, the little home where the egg
are deposited represents a great des
of sacrifice, for it is lined with severs
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs havin
been laid carefully upon this luxurious
pretty couch, are protected by a2
equally pretty coverlet made of the
same material.
These butterfly bedclothes are oftei
arranged with an intricacy that is quits
curious and perplexing. Sometimes
bed is made so that each separate deli
cate hair stands upright, thus giving
the entire nest the appearance of a lit
te brush of downy fur. Then agai>
the eggs are laid spirally round-'a tin:
branch, and, as the covering follow
their course, the effect resembles th
bushy tail of a for, only the nest I
more beautiful than the brush of th
finst fox that ever roamed over coux
try.
The building of this downy nest is th
latest earthly -labor of the mother but
terfly, for by the time it is complete
her own delicate body is demnuded of it
natural covering and there is nothin
left for her to do~ but die, a sacrific
which she promptly and heroicall:
makes in the interest of the comin,
butterfly generation.

Must Pension Themselves. ,
- Domestic servants in Germany come
under the law that obliges all persons
r below a certain income to provide for
their old age. The postoffice issues
cards and stamps. and one of these
stamps must be dated and affixed to
the card every Monday. Sometimes
the employers buy the cards and stamps
and show them at the postoffice each
month. Sometimes they expect 'the
t servant to pay half the money re
quired. Wogien who go out by the day
get their stamps at -the house they
t work In on Mondays. If a girl marries
r she may cease to insure and may have
a sum of money toward her outfit In
- that case she will receive no old age
pension. But if she goes on with her
Insurance she will have from 15 to 20
marks ($3 to $4) a month from the
state after the age of seventy.
The Lancer Snake.
There is a snake called the lancer,
which lives in South America and Is
very ready with its fangs. It Is a
small, brown. insignificant beast, but
its bite Induces a sort of imaginary
swelling all over the victim's body.
He feels as If every inch of him were
being strained to breaking point, and
the agony which results is too awful
for words. Generally, however, the
excess of pain drives the bitten man
mad before very long, and in four
hours he dies-a senseless Imbecile.

Kew gardens. There are primroses

absolutely on air, without any root in
the ground; walking plants, sleeping
plants and plants which grow whiskers.

Obesity Saved England's Liberty.
The mode in which that bulwark of
England's constitution, the habeas cor

able. So grave a historian as Bishop
Burnet relates that it was carried by
an "odd artifice." Lords Grey and
Norris were named to be tellers. Lord
Norris, being a man subject to vapors,
was not at all times attentive to what
he was doing; so, a very fat lord com
ing in, Lord Grey counted him for ten.
as a jest at first, but seeing that Lord
Norris had not observed it he went in
with his misreckoning of ten, so it was
reported to the house and declared that
they who were for the bill were in the
majority.-London Chronicle.
