LETITIA TYLER SEMPLE.

Upon the retirement of Mrs. John Quincy Adams as mistress of the White House at the end of President Adams's administration,' Mrs. Jackson assumed the honored position, but she was brought to an untimely death by the severe attacks upon her husband, and was buried in the gown she had made for the Inaugural ball, leaving her position to a niece, who did honor to it during President Jack son's term of office. Mrs. William Harrison first succumbed to the stern 30 years, during which eight children and 10 grandchildren were taken away from her, so her husband's brief time in the White house was also unshared. Mra Tyler delicate and reserved, took her posi tion only in name. When she died in the executive mansion, the mantle fell on her son's wife, Mrs. Robert Tyler, and, then on her daughter, the witty, attractive Letitia Semple. Mrs. Letitia Semple, daughter of

Chicago Mayor Aids Boy, Wins More Friends For Heavy Men

Chicago, June 3. "Every one loves a fat man. don't they, mamma?" chirped little 10-year-old Robert Isaacson, 16 Sixteenth street, last night. "Yes, dear, they do," answered the mother, her eyes red from weeping. "God bless one today, Bobby." The "fat man" was Mayor Fred A. Busse. Yesterday afternoon the city executive and a party of friends were out on an inspection trip of the South Side boulevards. As the machine was speeding across the car tracks at Sixteenth and Indiana avenues the mayor noticed a little boy attempting to cross the street. Suddenly from around the corner at CAR COMPANY HAS DAMAGED STREETS Commissioner Dye States That Promise of Repairs Has Been Made. NEGLIGENT IN THE PAST MAIN STREET BETWEEN FOURTH STREET AND THE BRIDGE IS IN BAD REPAIR AND IS TO BE RESTORED SOON. Street Commissioner Dye says he recognizes the street railway company has damaged the streets of the city, but that it has promised to do better. He has hope that something other than promises will be the result. - The street railway company has been very negligent in its care of the streets, tt is supposed to keep in repair that part of the street surface which is adjacent to the rails and all crossings. It is the custom of the company to permit great holes to be worn along the rails and big hollow places to be scooped out at the crossings. To Restore Street. The commissioner has promised to restore Main street hill batwecn Fourth street tnd the bridge, also. This part of the principal thoroughfare is in a horrible condition. The street railway company is to blame to a large extent. Its employes remove the crushed stone from the macsdam surface and put it back in a hap-haz-ard manner. The street commissioner says the holes are usually filled up exactly opposite to the way they should be. At Fifth and North D street, when the curve for the freight track was put in the cross walk was torn up. Ever since it . has been almost Impossible to cross the street at this point in wet weather. The surface was not leveled up and the water stands In a puddle several Inches deep. A large amount of work is before the street commissioner for this summer. Several street are to be picked up and

President Tyler, was in many ways a

remarkable character. Her witty, jovial nature made her one of the most popular characters in Washington, and the White house functions were al ways scenes of gayety and enjoyment, A good deal of solid Virginia hospitality was dispensed in those days There were two dinners a week, and the drawing rooms were open inform ally every evening. Now and then a private ball was given, at which occa sions the guests left promptly at 11 o'clock. Saturday evenings outdoor concerts were introduced and public levees were held once a month. Mrs. Semple, who was the originator of all this gay social life and activity was one of the many who lost their all during the Civil War. Her property was all gone when the war ended, and the last four years of her life spent in the social gayety of the White house ended in the Louise home in Washington. : a rapid rate of speed came a cab and Knocked tne youngster to the pavement. Immediately Mayor Busse ordered his chauffeur to stop. He jump ed from his car, lifted the little boy up in his big arms and placed him In his automobile. Then, climbing in himself, the mayor ordered bis chauffeur to make a mad dash to St. Luke's hospital, where the boy was given im mediate medical attention. Later inquiry at the boy's home where he was taken, disclosed the fact that the boy will be able to walk about today, little changed for his ex perience, save that it has brought In to his mind a new ideal, a fat man. rolled. " This way of turning over the gravel provides a satisfactory method or repair. Crushed stone for street repairs is gradually growing in favor locally. The macadam streets are rec ognized as amone the best in the conn try and serve as splendid substitutes for brick, where the hauling is not too heavy. OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something, The front yard fence is a .famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times- neigh bor has something really good to of fer. ' An old resident of Baird. Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor, said she new lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Post ii m a trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate which fid cot do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediate ly and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular and in two weeks ail my pains were gone Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this is due to my baring quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regu larly. - "My son who was troubled with In digestion thought that if Postum helped me so. it might help him. It ; did, too, and he is now well and ! strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever ; liked the coffee and nse it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep well. -There's , a Reason. Read "The Road to WellriUe," In pkgs.

Washington, Pa, June 3. Sixteen prominent residents were arrested last night on a charge of assault and

battery and rioting.

The accused furnished bail for bear ings next Saturday. 10 INSPECT SCHOOL The county commissioners met with Dr. J. E. King, county health officer, today and went on an excursion to the western part of the county. It is believed they went on an inspection of certain school properties, which the doctor does not , believe are la good condition. WHATWOMMI CAflDO Chicago, June 3. This is the law in the case: A woman may go into a shoe shop, try on every pair of shoes In the place, take up the clerk's time, object to style r.nd fit, purchase a pair of boots and then if the shoes pinch she may deamnd her money back. And she can get it, too. Municipal Judge Gemmill decided this point In the case of Miss R, Louise Jacobson. a stenographer who bought a pair of shoes for $3.50. The clerk said If they pinched her instep she could have her money back. The shoes pinched. The firm offered to give her a credit slip for $3.50. Miss Jacobson wanted the money. She sued. Judgment for $3.50 was allowed her. Veorsia!a: I don't like your cook book tt 4oean't recommend Gold Medal 11 our. Inooasm.
