She Didn’t Know Her.

Mrs- Blaine had been some years in Washington before Mrs. X., wife of a Senator, called on her. At last Mrs X was announced. As Mrs. Blaine entered her drawing-room to receive her guest, she noticed the colored cook slip out hurriedly from the receptionroom where Mrs. X was waiting. This surprised her, but she said nothing. Next day, however, her valuable cook left her to find a place in Mrs. X. ’s kitchen. At a State dinner soon after given at the Executive Mansion, the two ladies chanced to be placed with only a seat between them at the. table. The gentleman sitting between noticing that Mrs. Blaine did not address a of conversation to his other neighbor, exclaimed: “Why, Mrs. Blaine, you know Mrs. Senator X, do you not?” “No,” was the answer, and loud enough for all to hear; “Mrs. X called on my cook the oth?r day at my house and her card was handed to mo by mis take. My cook r< t • nod the call.” An Elkton (Md.) paper mentions the case of Mr. T. Deenan, of that place, who-suf-fered severely with rheumatic pains until he tried a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which completely cured him.— lndianapolis {lnd.) Journal.
