State Tale of a Barefoot Candidate
Abigail Adams' Character Trouble
Raised by a Profane Crow An Old
Woman's Alibi.
ICoDyrluht. 1902. by Chamn Clark.
Most people harbor tbe delusion that
all judges are dry as dust and that
service on the bench kills a man's
sense of humor even If richly endowed
with that quality originally. This Is
not tnie, however. Hon. William W.
Rucker of the Second Missouri district
was for many years n circuit Judge,
but he stlH Indulges occasionally In a
lltCTunl
A Poor Place to Make Money.
During the campaign of 1900 Judge
Rucker In debate with his Republican
opponent attacked the agreement en
tered Into by General Bates and the
sultan of Sulu as authorizing slavery.
His antagonist replied that under that
agreement provision was made where
by the slaves can buy their freedom,
whereupon Rucker said: "That re
minds me of the story of a pauper nam
ed Smith Who was In the Livingston
county poorhouse. One of the county
Judges was out there on a tour of In
spection. He asked Smith bow lie was
getting on. He answered: 'Oh, fairly
well, Judge. I have plenty to cat,
plenty to wear and a good bed tosleep
in, but this is the poorest place to make
money In that I ever saw.' So It ap
pears to me that the provision as to
the Sulu slaves purchasing their lib
erty places them In as poor a situation
for making money as was Smith while
In the Doorhouse."
Judge Robinson Chlp3 In.
After listening to Judge Rucker's
story Judge J. M. Robinson of Indiana
related this: "We hear many pleas
ing tnles of early campaigning in In
dlaua. In my district many years ngo
two candidates of different types con
tested for the honor of a seat In con
gress. One was a genteel good dresser
and belonged to that class In politics
sonitlmes denominated 'kid gloves'
or 'silk stockings.' The other was Just
the .reverse and made his campaign
on foot, barefoot nt that. On one oc
casion ho won the esteem and support
of the people In a certain neighbor
hood by runuing a race with the Heet-
est person thereabouts, the candidate
carrying a heavy weight to wit, anoth
er man on his back. The diamond In
the rough candidate was elected and
thereupon went momntlv barefoot to
his opponent and told him that he bad
no hard feelings because the latter ran
against Dim."
First Mistress of White House.
One of the great figures and char
acters of Washington society in 1800
was Abigail Adams, wife of John Ad
ams and the first mistress of the White
House. The love of John and Abigail
deserves to be embalmed In Immortal
verse. It would be u prettier tale than
that of Abclard and Helolse or any of
the other love stories over which we
cried In our earlier days and, If the
whole truth must bo told, over which
we still drop a tear when we can snatch
a few moments from whnt Mr. Mnntn
llni would call "the demnhlon horrlil
grind of earning our bread and butter ."
I honor Abigail Adams as one of the
sages and patriots of the Revolution
even If she did hang out the family lin
en to dry In tbe handsome and stntely
parlors of the White House. She is one
or xuo most admirable characters of
that heroic age.
I don't believe that her husband, old
John, and her more brilliant son, young
John, known to history ns John Quin
cy. would ever have stretched their
legs under the presidential mahogany
If it had not been for her strong mind
and for her brave, unfaltering heart.
deserved or undeserved, of the beauti
ful nnd fascinating Mary, queen of
Scots, or of that other great historic
tear pumper, the Empress Josephine.
Her maiden name was Abigail Smith.
She was a New England preacher's
daughter.
Wedding Sermons.
It's an old saying that "the course of
true love never runs smooth," and It
may he an abiding consolation to the
young men who read these "Cloakroom
Stories." In certain aggravating exigen
cies of their own lives, to learn that
when John went courting Abigail and
when her father, the preacher afore
said, found It out, he raised such n
ruinniis flint It wnrnipd tlio rhiilv at

caused the waves to dash higher than
usual "on the wild New Eugland

He had no faith In John, no use for

any degree of nliowance. The future

A Daughter's Defiance.
When Parson Smith's other daugh

Mr. Cranch, the father, who liked

to decide on her own test for the ser
mon, nnd she meekly selected "Mary
hath chosen the better nnrt. wlilph
shall not be taken awny from her," and
the discourse was duly pronounced.
But when Abigail's turn came she defi
antly suggested the test, "John came,
neither eating bread nor drinking wine,
nnd ye say he hath a devil." Love
laughs at locks and bars, nnd Abigail,
despite the wrath of her theological fa
ther, clung to John nnd became the
wife of one president of the United
States and the mother of another, as
well as the grandmother of one candi

So they loved, married and were hnn-

most in his first cnmimlim wm i.

Turkey Hen Makes a Record.
I have a turkey hen that I think has
broken the record. During the spring
of 1000 I received from Charleston,
HI., nine Mammoth Bronze turkey
eggs. Seven turkeys hatched out A
dog killed one. 1 raised three hens
nnd three toms. The hens hnd tho
range of tbe farm. One of them laid
close to the house. She laid twenty
eggs anu tueu wanted to sit. I put heron
eignteen eggs. She laid three eggs be
fore the eggs on which she was sitting
hatched out that is. during the last
week. She laid all the time she was
raising her brood of little turkeys nt
first one egg every other day. then one
every day, then one egg in three davs
until she had laid flfrv-fmtr
