MARK HANNA’S COURTSHIP. Be Loved His Love \Vith Young Love‘! Devotion a d Youth'o Determination. Mrs. Mark Hanna has a love story though .it happened many years ago. before her hair was silvered and be fore the senator tipped the scales at quite his present figure, “though in- ' was always a sturdy chap," Mrs. Fianna will tell you. This is the tale, as it is told by I Cleveland woman: ' “Mrs. Hanna, then the young and lovely heiress, Miss Rhoades, was des- tined to marry a man of wealth, pos- sibly a title; for nothing was too good for her. “Her brother, the historian, had his place in the field of letters, and the family boasted no less than five ce- lebrities in the world of art, literature and science, not to mention social prestige. , “A course in a New Yerk finishing School was decided upon for her; and upon her return she was to be launch- ed into society to enjoy its brilliancy for several seasons, heart whole and free to taste the cup of belledom 1: its sweetest drop. - “But parents proposefiand Mr. Han- na disposed. The senator. whose early struggles and history are now well known, fell in love with the young girl in her first season, when the touch of the finishing school was fresh upon her and undimmed by the world. He vowed he would wed no other. “In vain the parents pleaded. They had other missions for their daughter and one of these was a year of social life abroad. “ ‘Suppose you take her to now,’ suggested her father. ‘and put her through a month of London so- ciety afterward, until she forgets.’ “The mother consented, and I be- lieve the tickets were all but bought. Burt day and night the girl wept and pleaded—just to be allowed to remain at home. And the mother relented. ‘ “Finally the hearts of both parents were touched, and the father, too. consented. And then came the mar riage, when the young business man Mr. Hanna, with nothing but low and ambition. got he girl of his choice. “That was a long time ago. and in sickness and sorrow, and in the whiri of political life, many changes have come. Success has touched the career of the mam. and the wife has had a chance to go into society, greater tin-.1 would have been her privilege had she married wha. was said to be he:- mother‘s ambition—a title!"~l"hiladel- pyhia Press. Pa ri 5; THE CAREFUL SERVANT. General “'lieelcr Yv'as Like All Other )i'en to Him. One of the Michigan oiliccrs who was at the front during the brief war had with him a colored attendant who was as proud of his place as though he were commander-in—chi-ef, and whose ideas of military discipline were as rigid as those of the veriest 1113‘:- tinct. Owing especially to the thiev- ing proclivities of some of the Cuban hangers-on. he was under strict com- mand not to let anything go from the officer’s tent without a personal order from him. One evening as the officer and Gen- eral “”hecler met some distance from the camp, the general said, with a smack of his lips, “I hear. sir. that you received some very fine brandied peaches from home.” “Yes. general, they’re prime, and I’m going to send you some. Mean- time you had better stop at my tent‘ on the way in and have my man give you a can.” > W'hen the -oflicer reached his quar- ters he was approached by his at- tendant. with an elaborate salute, and: “Did you tell dat Gen’l Wheeler, sah, dat he could call heah, sub, and pro. cu’ a can ob dem brandied peaches. sah '1” “Yes. Of course you gave them to , him ?” “No, sah." with another athletic sa- lute; “no. sub. I knows my duties. sah.

Surgery Performed on Snakes. - Snakes in captivity, it seems, some- times find ‘difiiculty in getting rid of the skin which is shed every year. and an Australian diamond snake in the Bombay museum seemed likely to succumb. It was ,quite blind and re fused all food. A European sympathizer, therefore, pressed, the native suakekeeper into service to hold the snake, and him- self with a pair of sharp pointed scissors performed the delicate and risky operation of clipping away the membrane which adhered to the eyes. J. M. Phip‘So‘n, editor of the Journal of the Bombay Natural History So‘ ciety, performed a far more danger- ous operation a couple of years ago. His patient was a large hamadryad, or king cobra. the most vicious and poisonous of all Indian snakes, and a most powerful creature to boot. Mr. Ph’ipson gripped the king cobra round the neck, and a native literally held on for his life further down, and when the reptile’s struggles ,were over a third man, armed with a surgeon‘s scalpel, removed eight layers of mem- brane from each eye—Sketch.

A gentleman of Chicago, a veteran of the civil war. tells an anecdote in the life of Abraham Lincoln as re- lated to him by Schuyler Colfax. :One day on his way to the executive mansion Colfax came upon an old man just outside the capitol grounds, look- ing so dejected and miserable that thg genial Speaker stopped and spoke to him. The old man then begged for aid in getting an audience with the President. as so far his efforts had been unavailing—and added that it was a case of life and death. Colfax, moved by the old man’s dis- tress, brought him, trembling with“ con- dieting hope and fear, directly into the great and kindly presence. With- out wasting a moment upon prelimi- naries, the petitioner plunged into the heart of his troubles—an old |story now grown sadly familiar to the Presi. dent’s ear. Briefly, his son had been sentenced to death for having slept at his post. He had relieved a sick com. rode the night before, and overworu nature had succumbed. Lincoln listen- ed, all the kindness of his great heart reflected in his eyes; but he had al- ready issued so many pardons for this [offense that it. was beginning to have a demoralizing influence upon a most important part of the service, and Congress had thought best togive the power of confirming the death sen- tence directly .to the Generals in charge. In this particular case, too, Butler had written the President, strenuously urging him to turn a deaf ear to any one pleading for the ofifendo er’s pardon. as the discipline of his army absolutely required an example. With a troubled air, therefore, Lin— coln said: “My good sir, I would give anything I possess for the power to help you. But the President himself is powerless here. I am under orders not to issue another pardon for this particular offense. Too much depends upon the vigilant sentinel. I sympa- thize deeply with your sorrow, but must refuse your request.” “So that is all the President of the United States can do for me,” fal-tered the old father. “All.” replied Lincoln. The old man stood motionless in the deep silence that followed the 'Presi- dent's ultimatum. Then, taking a step forward. he said: “The President of the United States has done his duty. Now, I want to hear from A'be Lin- coln. Put. yourself in my place, your son in my son’s place. Then what would you do?” After a minute of intense thought Lincoln’s face took on an expression of radiance as he exclaimed: “Butler or no Butler. here goes!" And seizing his pen he rapidly wrote two duplicate orders, handing one to the petitioner. who read: “Sentence in case of Private of regiment is not to .be executed until further orders from the execu- tive office.” “This.” said the broken-hearted fath- er, “only postpones the agony. If the boy must be shot the sooner the bet- ter.” ‘ “My friend." said old Abe, taking him by the hand. “if your son doesn’t die with further orders for his de- cease are issued from this executive office he will live to a green old ago.” -—Chicago Inter Ocean. i, Not.

The fronts are semi- loose, and the backs fitted and some- times belted. Many of these wraps are made of army-blue cloth, and the 'fronts are fastened with medium-sized gilt buttons. The deep cape is fast- ened by and trimmed with stitched straps of the cloth and is alone a sum- cient wrap for many occasions. Check- ed and striped cloths, lightly and roughly woven, and others of dark color and finer grain, said to be abso- lutely waterproof, are made in redin- gote style, much after the fashion of coachmen’s coats, with and without shoulder-capes, and will be used for traveling and mornim: walks. I Exiemal lmpressmns Count. Not only such things as are beautiful to the eye, but those which appeal favorably to the taste, are a. large factor in our every day life. Even with medicines, it is no longer necessary to take ‘. urge zmounts of vile-tasting com- pounds to Tel: relief. Now we have the most - wonderful example of this in Vinol, the new form of cod liver oil, in which the active, curative principles of the cod’s liver is found in a highly concentrated state, and the obnox- ious, vile-smelling grease discarded. Mr. C. C. Isbell, achemist of North Adams, speaks of this feature in Vinol as follows :— “ Vinol is a. luxury to take. Vinol is modern and up-to-date and is an example of man’s ingenuity to get the best to be had from any article for the greater benefit of hu- manity. Vinol should be appreciated. I know that it is, for in it we have the greatest builder-up ever put on the market.” Vinol is positively a. delicacy in the sick room. No longer will the poor sufferer with disease-weakened stomach, struggle to take that which may save his life, or rebel entirely against the medicine and prefer death to such a terrible remedy.
