The lather of Buchanan, the fifteenth president, was an immigrant from north cm Ireland, and iu the latter part of the eighteenth century built two log cabins three miles from Mcrccrsburg, to serve as a trading post for the Indians and the settlers in that sparsely settled region. When Jauios was a little boy, his mother busy at the eounler of the store and with liuusehuld cares, used to lie a bell around bin neck that lie might not get beyond her hearing. The motherly device gave rise to the story one of the traditions of the neighborhood of "Jamie and the bell," which lr. tfehufl shortly alter the inauguration of Mr. Buchanan told to a Sunday school at Carlisle. The incident, afterward erroneously told of James tj. Blaine when he was a candidate for the presi dency, is thus narrated in the adlress, which we copy from the Mile of Philip Seliatl','' by his son: "Three miles horn the town ( Mereeiv btirg) where I live a little boy was born in the mountains whose name waa Jamie. When he was 4 or f jvars of age, his good mother, afraid that she should lose her Irish bjy amid the rocks and bushes, tied a little lull around bis neck, that she might know if he were near by or far off This was 'httle Jamie with a bell around bis neck:' ' In n ilie boy was 8 years old, his fa ther muvelti) the town where I live.

"The I.unela is the fahionable prom enade in Manila, ami one liny there see the best side of the Philippines. The Kutieta is a sort of l'ifth avenue along the banks of the i'aig river. The com positc cliatitctir of the population in Manila makes the throngs of people along the Lnuela very pietureiue. A long briilgc extends along the IVissig and the promenade is across that. The shops and stores of the city are close ut hand, and at night they arc gorgeously illuminated. The street electric lights shud their effulgence ou the moving inass of humanity, and the music by the band enlivens the scene. I never saw such picturcsijue throngs iu America. Every one smokes a cigar of eigarelte. There are beggars by the hundred, Hindoos and Japanese in their native garments. The Bucals, or native Indians, enme trooping along in bare feet and Semi-nudity. There are the latest Parisian styles and the raggudest, poorest pople imaginable. Here comes a family gruup with the parents at the head, arrayed in garments of reds, blues and purples. The father strides along with a huge cigar in his mouth and his wife with a cigarette. Next fol low a group of smiling, chatter ing padres from the numerous Catholic churches or the great cathedral, and all, too, are pulling at mammoth cigars. Then there are Japanese by hundreds, Chinese by scores, and native Malays and Neg ritos by thousands. They all wear light, fuwing garments of gay-colored fabrics, and all smuke. Here comes a company of native girls with raven hair and the blackest of black eyes, set off by fresh olive eemplexiuns and the ruddiest of lips. They wear black lace mantillas on their heads and some pretty flowers deck their bail. Their dress is of loose thin red and white fabrics. As they go iannti-ring along behind a parent chaperon they roll cigarettes and smoke like old professionals, .-panish soldiers and nival ethers in gaudy uniforms are always in the throngs that promenade the li'im ta at night. Here there Europeans in linen suits and bamboo h 'lmet hats. Occasionally une may see an American among the promenade but there are fewer than 150 Ameiieans ,11 in i-himl. The parade eoniinues hack and forth until after midnight. FaJiiiu an I poverty go side by side.

Some strangers in the Balkans call certain gyp sies horsfj dealers. Horse stealers sounds nearly the same and is ofteu an ciunlly true description. An engineer who had made the survey font projected railroad in Scrvia told tne of an incident he witnessed at a horse fair. A farmer brought in a fine young horse far the best animal in the fair and was very proud of his mount. A gypy dealer, with one eye screwed up and body bent to theshape of the letter C, criticised the pices, saying at last, "He would be a line horse if he were not lame." The farmer , indignantly denied the lameness. "Well, trot him out and you'll see,'' said the gypsy. At the end of this trial (he owner cried in triumph, "He could not trot sounder!" The gypsy firmly reapeatcd: "Eame! Hop him, and you'll see it surely." The man galloped his beast. 'Oh, he's lame!'1 averred the gypsy. "You'd see it yourself if imother were on the horse. Eet tuc show you," And owner alighted. The gypsy mounted cantered a few yards, quickened the pace, reached the end of the fair green, s.'t spurs to the guud hurse and promptly disappeared. Neither mm nor horse was seen again thereabout. ' But are there no police in Scrvia?" I asked. "The gypsy got across the frontier per fect. "And no telegraph wires?" I per haps. "Not in the forests. And perhaps by night the horse had changed bin color. The gjspi' S will buy your old white horse from you in the morning and sell you a rather spirited young black horse in the afternoon. You will wonder that the new purchase seems lo know the road hunie, but by next day his mettlcsomc nesi will have vanished, and in a little while his black coat will be white again."

A man never admits he is afraid of a rat or a mouse, and when he sees a timid woman flee from one of these undesirable rodents to a place of safety on top of a piece of furniture or other handy eleva tion be generally as-utnes an air of supe riority, laughs at her timidity, scofTs at the idea of one of these creatures injuring anybody, and oftentimes gets disgusted at what he terms "cowardice." But the man who insists that he is not afraid of a rat or even a little mouse is in reality foolish, and this can be demon strated should he eome iu contact with one of them. You never saw any one who dered to or could coolly handle even a dead rat. Human being" have a natural dislike for rats. One afternoon a big, stalwart man, who looked as if he might face death without Hincbing, wa passing along Eourth street. When neat the corner of Peail street, he emitted a screech that was terrifying and brought ilie pedes trains along the thoroughfare to a stand still. The man was clasping his leg with his hands and hopping across the street like a bucking broncho. He shouted as if suffering excruciating pain, aud several persons went tu his as-itanee. The only thing the matter with him was a young rat had crawled up his trousers leg. The rodeut was extricated aud exterminated. Then the big, "brave" man mopped the perspiration from his pale brow and stole sheepishly away. The crowd which had gathered laughed and fell to telling experiences with rats. "While out hunting with a friend some years ago," said one man, "Isaw a similar case. Wc were crossing a wheat stubble when a little moue ran up his trousers leg. He screamed, and I thought he had been bitten by a rattler. He dropped his guu and iati arouud in a frantic manner until I .nuoved the rodeut." A number of other interim ; experi ences with rats '-'ere told, and - early all agreed that after what they had n ...id and seen a man is just as much afraid c. a rat as is a woman Sioux City Jourua .
