Everybody loved that old fs*bloned

vivid Impressions regarding her and
the social life of which she was the
center. Oue remembers the atmo

the blush roses and spicy pinks of old

wbere blush rosea grow, and 1 know
some women not yet old, ana a few
young girls, whose mere presence
serves today to reproduce that at
mosphere She wss .dauntless and
iiweet, tbst old-fashioned Lady; witty
but tender; ss notable a housewife
as a hostes*; full of gentle concern
for others, with a mind ever at lets'
ure for their affairs, and a heart
whose sympathy was Instantaneoua In
their service. She stimulated and she
soothed. Pliu>, complicated and inter
esting as the*old lace and finely
wrought gold she delighted to wear,
she was a very precious piece of por
celain. The brilliant,, soft daguerreo
type that has preserved her early like
ness for u? did not idealise her be
yond her Just due. Perhaps the in
timate secret of her influence was the
Impression she gave of one whose
heart is fixed, one whom the world can

THOUGHT HE MEANT TRIPE
Mr*. Mills' Sadly Milled About Hu?
band 'a Diet by Deaf Old
Family Doctor.
Hr. Mills was ill, and Mrs. Mills
sent post baste for the deaf old family
doctor, who, responding promptly to
the call, looked Mr. Mills carefully
over and decided he was not going to
die that time. As the physician took
his leave, Mrs. Mills followed him out
Into the hall: ? **Br. Primes," she said,,
"how about Albert's diet? You didn't
tell me what I should give him to
eat!"
The doctor, who had his deaf side
toward his interrogator, mistook her
question for an Inquiry as to the na
ture of Mr. Mills 'disease and replied
gruffly and shortly: "Oh, stomach,
'stomach ? nothing but stomach."
"Dear me!" thought Mrs. Mills, who
is not a subtle reaBoner. "I suppose,
of oourse, he must mean tripe. It's a
singular diet, but perhaps Albert's dis
ease is singular."
Next day when the doctor called he
found the patient much worse, and at
once inquired what ho had had to
eat
"I gave him Just what you told me
to," shouted Mrs. Mills Into the doc
tor's b^st ear, "nothing in the world
but tripe.'* - ? ?
Prayers for Suicides.
On All Souls' Day every good Cath*
olic goes to some cemetery to lay
flowers on the graves of loved ones.
Owing to the number of suicides by
drowning in the Danube there are
many dead to whom this rite cannot
be paid,, and in honor of these a
touching oeremony has been held tn
Budapest Several thousand persons
walked in solemn procession to the
bank of the Danube by the Franz
Josef bridge, and a wreath made of
leather was sunk in the water, while
the attendants uncovered their heads
and said prayers. On one side of the
?wreath the words were embossed,
"For the salvation of those who died
In ?h$ Danube," krefl on the other side,
*T>o not take this oat, but leavfc It
in the water." A layman then gave
an address, in which he extolled the
virtues of ipartiy of thoee who had
been driv*rh to suicide, and con
demned the church for refusing its
blessing to their bodies.

of asthma September 3d, 1770, while
on a preaching tour tn America, and
?was buried, by his own desire, tn a
vault beneath the Presbyterian church
at Newburyport. Fourteen years aft
er his death the ooffln was opened,
when the body was found perfect. Tn
1901 it was opened again, when "the
flesh was gone, but the gown, caeaock
and bandfe remained." Shortly after
ward a bone of the right arm was
stolen by an admirer and sent to Eng
land, Protest was made, and the
bone was restored to Newburyport in

Honey Bread.
In Europe, where the food value of
honey seems to he much better un
derstood than In the United States,
enormous quantities are used. Of Jate
years we seem to be waking a
realization of the value of honey as a
wholesome and delicious article of
food, and also as to its preservative
qualities. - Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar corn beoome dry
and crumbly, and to get the good of
theib must be eaten when fresh; but
when they are made hp with honey,
they seem to retain their moist fresh
ness indefinitely. In FYanoe homey
bread a year or eighteen months old
pis preferred to that just made. They
i gay: "It has ripened." It la the
pteeervatlYe, or rather the unchang
ing, quality of honey that makes It mo

"Ab an Indian he was a gallant
chief. As a Scotchman ha was ?
canny financier. Ab half Scotch, hail
Indian, ha waa an unmitigated scound
rel." ? So write* one commentator
about Chief William Mclntoah of the
Creek Nation, an inspired grafter,
who. In the end,' paid for hl? dishon
eat y with hla life- Mclntoah waa the
aon of a Scottish soldier who ? mar
ried the daughter of a Creek chief/
Their aon. In early manhood, became
a war chief of the Creeka. When the
majority of hla mother*# "nation" aid
ed wltj> the Hrltiah in the war of 1812,
Mclntoah railed a largo party of
hravea to the United Statea standard
and led them valiantly against the al
liea of the British in several battles
of the war ? lie even attacked and de
atroyed a subtrlbe of hostile greeks,
200 strong, and was In the foiremoet
rank of the American army In the bat
tle of the "Horaeaboe" at the Talla
pooaa river, where Gen. Andrew Jack
son finally crushed lied Eagle's Creek
army.
A Chief's Mistake.
All this won for Mcintosh the truat
and gratitude of the government even
while It led many of bis fellow In*
dlans to curse hlin as a traitor. But
he bad already risen too high among
the Creeks to be overthrown by aucn
accusations. , He bad, a year before
tbe war, earned by one act a reputa
tion for patriotism. It had happened
in thl# way: In 1805 millions of acres
of Creek Indian land bad been banded
over by the government to tbe state
of Georgia, Mcintosh pointed out to
the Creeks that a few more such trans
fers of their territory would leave
them homeless. Having thus aroused
their 1vn.ru, he drafted a. l&w in 1811 ?
which they promptly passed in the
"nation's" General Council ? making it
an eftense punishable by death for a
Creek to sell any of the land that still
remained. The memory of the part
Mcintosh had played in framing this
law now stood him in good stead. Lat
er the same law was to prove his
death warrant
After the Creek war the government
confiscated much of the "hostlle's"
territory^ In 1861 the citizens of
Georgia had a treaty drawn up grant
ing them still more Indian land. Mo
Intosh was secretly bribed to agree
to the treaty and t.o use his influence
in its behalf. Either forgetting the
death penalty he himself had pro
posed, or else thinking hims^f too
strong to heed it, he readily joined in
the plot to cheat his people out of
their territory. According to ancient
custom no treaty could be ratified
without the whole "nation's" consentr
Mclntosh controlled barely one-tenth
of the needful votes. But the commis
sioners told him the Creeks at large
were sufficiently well represented by
himself and his Immediate followers.
So Mcintosh and his adherents signed
the document and it forthwith went
into efTect, although it was against
the direct wishes of nine-tenths of the
Creeks.
Mcintosh loirt. popularity by this
he decided to earn a Utile more easy
money. In 1823 he tried to cede one
more tract of Creek land to the gxrr
ernmAt The Creeks merely met and
1 re-enacted his own earlier law making
such offense punishable by death.
The Reward of Traitor.
Still thinking himself safe, Mcintosh
consented, for a big price, to sign an
other treaty, ceding to Georgian com
missioners nearly all the remaining
territory of the Creeks. The United
States senate approved this treaty, af
did President John Quincy Adams,
overruling the objections of Secretary
of State John C. Calhoun, who pointed
out the unfairness of It The govern
ment expected the Creeks to spring to
arms In rebellion, at such wholesale
robbery. But they did not rebel. They
knew such an uprising would gain
rthem nothing and would only refeult in
useless slaughter.
Yet they were not minded to let
Mcintosh enjoy the fruits of his
treachery. They were simple-minded
folk, these half-civilized Creeks. They
did not reward graft with high office
or even set a formal Investigating
committee to work on the case. They
simply sent 100 braves to the house
at MUledgevllle where Mcintosh was
living under what he deemed a suffi
cient guard.
The hundred braves surrounded the
houee on May 1, 1825, and calmly or
dered every inmate not concerned in
the affair to get out Then they Bet
fire to the building. As Mcintosh
rushed from the door in a wild dash
for safety they shot him dead.
The Georgia governor talked loudly
of avenging the death of the man who
had so long and so successfully be
trayed his own people to the govern
ment But, by President Adams' or
ders, the matter was dropped. A
traitor had paid the price of treach
ery. The white men were already
sufficiently enriched by the Creek
lands. There eeemed no need of call
ing public attention to the case by
further action.
