Greeting the New President.?-William Bayard Hale tells the following story of La Follette: A visitor who had waited a long time to see the senator said, as he grasped his hand: "I only came to shake the hand ol the next president." "Thank you very much," replied Mr La Follette, in his best manner anc with his extra expansion smile "Thank you very much for your gooc wishes of me. But as I wish yoi well, too, I must advise you that i! you want to strike the right man, yoi had better shake hands with a few dozen other gentlemen." "Is it worth while to go to the othei end of Pennsylvania avenue, senator?' quizzed the visitor.

The watch was duly fixed up and returned to its ' owner. It was an old watch and certain peculiarities about it were noted. This morning a watch was brought ' into the store by Mr. McArver, of Lowell, who said that it had been of' fered him by some boys for J5. It 1 was immediately recognized as Mr. ^ Finger's watch which had recently 1 been stolen from him. The local po' lice were put on the job and with the assistance of Mr. McArver, Claude and Will Hicks and Earl Crayton were arrested. One Luther Earnhardt, escaped, but will soon be ta1 ken.

Le Petit, a French naturalist, who was sent by the Museum of Natural History In Paris to explore cer" tain regions of central Africa, has n made a report to that institution of e the existence of a new species of elephant. It has been surmised for some time that certain of the lake regions were n inhabited by enormous semi-aquatic r animals, and it was partly to settle .' this question that Ix- Petit penetrated the Congo, where, on the north bank ? of I^ake Leopold 11., he was at last s rewarded for his pains. He learned e from the natives that these mysterious animals, though seldom seen, left e tracks in the earth like those of no .v other quadruped, and that there was a a tradition that the lakes had first , been found by following this trail. Given this clue. Le Petit divided his company into bands of five individuals apiece and sent them to reconnoitre. They were rewarded on L* several occasions by seeing these cult rious creatures, once at a distance of tl GOO metres. The trunks and ears of these water elephants are said to be very short, but the neck is enormous8 ly out of proportion and measures 11 much more than that of the land ele n pnuiil. lilt* neigni is uui i\vu meirea. , They are exceedingly agile, and it is not easy to hunt them for several difd ferent reasons; for one thing, they seem to have a signal which suffices as a danger warning to their tribe; then they make for the water with e cat-like swiftness, and. once therein, a swim rapidly, nothing appearing on a the surface but the head and the tip of the trunk. They quickly become lost to view, and the observer from land would have to be unusually alert ' to take aim, even if he were quixotic enough to suppose that his ammunition would penetrate such tough hides. The prospect that the water-elephant will travel with our circuses in future is not promising.?Harper's Weekly. n 1 ' g W We are not very good unless we 'e are a good deal better than most folks ? think we are. REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL. Once Powerful Absolute Monarchy, Now Experimenting With Self-Government. Portugal was once the leading maritime nation of the world. Today it is a ?.oy republic in swaddling clothes, and as fretful as babies usually are. Whether or not It will get through the perils of its second summer and begin a healthy growth is a question of more interest to Christendom than importance to Europe. While considering Portugal as it now is. it is interesting to glance at its past. Ethnologically the section of the Iberian peninsula that is now Portugal, and was once the greater part of Lusitania, is very ancient. The student of European races finds that the aboriginal cave dwellers of Portugal Hnnriahinir u'hon the first Aryans s overran Europe. But politically the r history of Portugal spans but a brief j nine centuries. t Portugal was subjugated by the Ro- a mans in th? time of Augustus, and in- ? vaded by the Alans and Visigoths In s the fifth century, when the Roman su- ' premacy was overthrown. Three cen- ' turies later it was overrun by Arabs ^ and Berbers, who held it for 400 r years before the Christian kingdoms I of Spain coalesced and drove the Mos- ' lems back to their former stamping f ground in North Africa. But during v these stirring times Portugal had no * national entity. It was not until the ^ last decade of the 11th century, when Alfonso VI of Castile gave Henry of Burgundy the hand of his daughter ? and rulershlp over such territory beyond the Tagus as he could capture from the Moors, that Portugal assum- 1 ed importance separate from Spain, d It began its career as an indepen- ^ dent country when Alfonso, son of the Burgundian prince and Theresa of Castle, arranged a tournament, in 1143, f between Portuguese knights and Spaniards to settle the question of his right to rule as a king in his own right. The Burgundian house showed 3 its mettle by holding the crown of a Portugal for more than four centuries 0 and developing the country as a mil- . itary power and a maritime nation. After a century of war with Mos- 6 lems, and brawls between the clergy c and the nobles when there was no battle with Moors to be fought, Portugal found itself on the high road to e __j 1*.. ni?u >??, nt h weaitn iuiu pruaperny. ovu w* Alfonso III, was the first statesman- n like ruler of Portugal. His predecessors had been warriors. Daniz encouraged agriculture, commerce, in- 0 dustry, the arts and education. He ti founaed a university at Lisbon, and t became known as the "Father of His Country." He was also affectionately f called "Farmer" Diniz, a distinction a unique among the titles of European kings. "Re lavrador?The Labor- c er?was also a popular title for him. c He earned it by various activities. He n avoided foreign wars, laid the founda- s tions for prosperity, and set an example as a home builder by marrying Donna Isabel, an Aragonese princess, (| canonized in later years for the purity p and unselfishness of her life. Agricultural schools were numerous in the reign of "Farmer" Diniz, Mod- _ el farms were tilled, and farmers were made members of the nobility because of their diligence as agriculturalist. This monarch was a conservationists. He reclaimed arid lands and planted a great pine forest. He built and beautified cities, reformed the courts, wrote pastoral poems and surrounded himself with writers who transformed a rude dialect into a flexible literary language. During the reigns of John the Great, John 11 and Emmanuel, covering a period of a hundred years beginning in the last quarter r* the 14 century, Portugal moved ' .. ward toward a position of preeminence among European nations. The treaty of Windsor, the genesis of which might be traced back to the teachings of "Farmer" Diniz, who advocated alliance with England, declared the kingdom of Portugal and the Island Empire bound by the closest bonds. Portuguese navigators, in cockleshell boats, felt their way down the west coast of Africa, to find their way to conquest in India and Ceylon, and the establishment of a Chinese station at Macao, opposite the island of Hong Kong. Peace with England and non-interference with Spain became the policy of the nation. Capture of Ceuta, a North African stronghold of the Moors, in 1415, was the beginning of the Portuguese conquests beyond the sea. A few years later King Edward of Portugal died of a broken heart because of the failure of an expedition that set out to take Tangiers. Prince Henry the Navigator collected about him all of the daring seamen ond brilliant scientists he could lind and spent forty years trying to solve the problem of sailing from Lisbon to the Indian ports, to make an all-sea route for trade then coming to Europe by land, through the Levant, or North Africa. He died without achieving his 1 object, but Vasco da Gama, who found J this all-water route, was imbued with his ideas. King John the Perfect was an ardent explorer who made the mistake of dismissing Christopher Columbus as a visionary because of his advocacy of sailing across the Atlantic instead of around Africa to iir.d India by water. ], But if he erred in his estimate of Co- ^ lumbus he did nothing more than the f majority of navigators, and while he tnrrie<1 ilnwn lh? i?re:itp.nt pxnlorer he surrounded himself with many others who were to become famous. Among th- m was Alfuso d'Albuquerque, who ; became the viceroy of the Indies. Al- t buquerque landed on th^ Malabar j const, conquered Goa and founded a ^ seat of Portuguese government on the y Indian peninsula. Ceylon, the "land y of Ophir," from which Hiram, king of g Tyre, brought "ivory, apes and peacocks" to Solomon, and which is be- \ lieved by some investigators to have been the Garden of Eden, fell into the hands of the Portuguese, together with the Sunda isles, the Isle of Orniuz and the Peninsula of Malacca. . When the shah of Persia sent to the prince of Ormuz for his customary tribute his ambassadors were presented with bullets and swords by Albuquerque and his hardy Portuguese, and i told that this was the coin in which J Portugal paid tribute. The kings of far away Siam and Pegu sought alliance with Portugal. The terror of Al- ( buquerque's name was such that long L after his death Indian rajahs prayed at his grave for protection from their j enemies. Lisbon became a brilliant capital j during the reign of King John 11. Men of importance in the various arts and t sciences and industries were attracted t to it and patronized by the court. When John was succeeded by Em- a manuel the fortunate the great heroic , period of Portuguese history began. s Fleets of ships, made by shipwrights ( brought from Denmark and England, plowed the most distant waters in search of new countries to conquer. The wealth of "Ormuz and of Ind" and the treasures of the new world poured into Portuguese coffers simultaneously. Hut the vaulting ambition of Emmanuel spelled trouble for the country. He dreamed of occupying the throne of Spain, and proposed to marry the infanta Isabella, daughter of Ferdinand of Aragon and yueen Isabella, of Castile, agreeing to expel the Moors and Jews from Portugal in order to inherit the kingdoms of Spain. The Moors had always dealt !. .ently with the Jews, recognizing their value us upuunuers 01 inuusny. i ue na.^ Kmmanuel proposed to banish constituted the industrial bone and sinew of his kingdom. The Jews and Moots were expelled, with great loss to the country, but Emmanuel's wife died, leaving an infant son who also died, a second marriage with the same intention left him without an heir, and a third with his own niece with similar aims was fruitless, so he died without becoming king of Spain. The record of discoveries by Portuguese adventurers at this period was dazzling. Vasco da Gama doubled tlie Cape of Good Hope and reached India by sea: Cabral discovered Brazil; Cort-Real discovered Labrador; Castella discovered the islands of St. Helena and Ascension; Amerigo Vespucci visited Paraguay; Couthino ex jlored Madagascar and Maurituls; ?opez occupied Sumatra; Serrao dis:overed the Moluccas; Coelho explored Cochin China; Andrade established i station at Canton and penetrated to he forbidden capital of the Chinese >mpire; Magellan navigated the straits >t Magellan and led the way to the Pacific ocean. A despotism subsisting on plunder, Portugal was doomed, but blazed In rlory. Agriculture, which "Farmer" Dlniz had so carefully nurtured, languished. Population did not increase, rhe inquisition was brought into play is an instrument of oppression. Lis3on nourished like the proverbial bay ree. The Portuguese crown was the vealthiest In Europe. Graft-sodden idministrations in far away posseslions divided their spoils with the nonarch, and the church and the nojility had a share.

Nothing less than , he conquest of Asia and the con /er- ' ion of the uncounted millions of the 'cradle of races" to the Christian re- i igion fired the imagination of the ad- | 'enturers. King Emmanuel bore the >roud title of "lord of the conquest, tavigation and commerce of Ethio>la, Persia and Arabia," but his coun- , rymen looked forward to the day vhen Portuguese kings would be em- 1 terors of the cast, and far away Japan vould send an annual tribute to LIs?on as the price of peace.?Frederick , f.

Stories of Andrew Jackson are likely to be pointed and to have a practical application, as do the stories told of Franklin. In Mr. J. W. Forney's "Anecdotes of Public Men" there Is given a story as It was told by James Buchanan at his own table. Although It contained a reproof from the president to one who was to succeed him, it is said to have been a favorite story at that board. Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's re turn from Russia In 1834, to the court of which country he had been sent by Jackson in 1832, and immediately following his election to the senate he called upon "Old Hickory" with a fair English lady whom he desired to present to the head of the American nation. Leaving her In the reception room downstairs, he ascended to the president's private quarters, where he found General Jackson unshaved, un- I kempt, In his dressing gown, with his J slippered feet on the fender, before a blazing wood Are, smoking a corncob pipe of the old southern pattern. He stated his object, and General Jackson said that he would be very glad to meet the lady whom Mr. Buchanan desired to present. Mr. Buchanan was always careful of his personal appearance and in some respects was a sort of masculine Miss Fribbe, addicted to spotless cravats and huge collars, rather proud of a foot small for a man of his large stature and to the last of his life what the ladies would call "a very good figure." Having just returned from a visit to the fashionable circles of the continent after years of thorough intercourse with the etiquette of one of the atotolloot nnn rfu In TTnrnno ha u/flq somewhat shocked at the idea of the president meeting the eminent English lady in such a guise and ventured to ask if General Jackson did not intend to change his attire. Thereupon the old warrior rose, with his long pipe in his hand, and, deliberately knocking the ashes out of the bowl, said to his friend: "Buchanan, I want to give you a little piece of advice, which I hope you will remember. I knew a man once who made a fortune by attending to his own business. Tell the lady ' L will see her presently." The man who became president in J 1857 was fond of saying that this re- < mark of Andrew Jackson humiliated 1 him more than any other rebuke he , had ever received. | He walked downstairs to meet the , lady in his charge, and in a very j short time President Jackson entered ( the room, dressed in a full suit of ! black, cleanly shaved, with his stubborn white hair forced back from his \ forehead, and, advancing to the beau- ' tiful visitor, he greeted her with al- ; most kingly grace. ' As she left the White House she said to her escort. "Your republican < president Is the royal model of a gen tleman."
