Electric Bitters THE WHITE HOUSE. Madison's Prrt In Giving the Execu tive Mansion Its Name. Just how the Wliito House came to be so designated Is a question on Which historians. differ. A local his torian In Washington thinks that the burden of proof tends to give credit for the name to President Madison. The structure was made of 1'ptouiac river freestone, and the capltol proper na imiir. of the same stone. At tne time the British burned the executive mansion they did n lot of other (lam- .. . .. age, anil tne country was iura tinnov to renalr the same. 'Hie wans of the mansion were only slightly dam aged, other than being blackened by HiimkP. Money was scarce, ami con gress made an -appropriation to have the outside of the house panned. uue was selected as the best color. Madi son In a letter to a personal friend wrote: "Come In and see me at any time. You will always Cud me in at the While House." The executive mansion may nave been called the White House Derore h,to hut this Investigator says that he has never been able to lind any record of it. If Madison did not om ciate at the christening it has been emphatically stated by the historian th,.t ln took a nrominent part in pub lishing the fact that the White House was to be the name or tne mansion. Up to the time of President Madison the executive mansion, which is the n.mitt for It. was generally spo ken of as the president's house, but since then it has been known by its permanent name of White IIouse.-Ex- chauge. A MEAL FOR A TIGER. The Ram Was a Fighter, Though, and Furnished a Surprise. votm tms iiiaile the tiger unequnled In the combination of speed, strength, cunning, daring and physical beauty. A tiger's first bounds are so rapid as to bring it alongside an antelope, aim a blow of Its paw will stun a charging bull. It has been known to spring o er o vrnii fivp feet high into a cattle pen and to jump back with a full grown nnimal in its laws, sportsmen su they have known it to carry away the bait while they were putting up iuu shelters from which to shoot it. It is a fact, however, that the tiger makes no pretense to invincible cour age, as may be seen in the instance of one kept in the Calcutta zoological gardens, which was butted to death by a ram. A soldier owned a fighting ram, which became so troublesome it had to be sent to the zoo. There it caused so much annoyance it was de cided to give it to the great tiger. The tiger was so ferocious its food was let down through a sliding grat ing in the roof of its cage. The ram was lowered down. The tiger, dozing In one comer, saw the ram descend and. rising, began to stretch itself. The ram. not knowing he was intended to be food for the big beast, supposed the stretching was the signal for a fight. Stepping nimbly back to the furthest corner of the cage, it put down its head and went sfaight at the tiger and in n few minutes butted it to death. New York Press. A Little Something For the Waiter. 'The biggest tip 1 ever saw given a waiter in my life was bestowed by the late Joint W. Gates in Paris," said a man who is accustomed to be generous in that line himself. "Gates enter tained a party of about a dozen of us at dinner at the Iiitz hotel and had the little private dining room on the right as you go toward the restaurant. Before the meal was tinlsliea i,aies called for Olivier, the head waiter. John never did succeed in getting that man's name right. " Oliver," he said, 'here's a little something for you,' and he handed him a 1.000 franc note (S-JOil). I told Gates he was foolish and that he was spoil ing things for the rest of us, but be guessed he knew what he was doing." New York Sun. The Duke's Advice.

Roosevelt's Wonderful Fight. From The Oregonan. Whether Theodore Roosevelt cap tures the Republican nomination or not, whether one favors hlB nomina tion or not, the fight he has made to sficrue it and the onward sweep of his success will go down as one of the moat striking episodes in Ameircan history The campaign he has made proves him one of the most wonder ful fighters tha world has known. Thn Roosevelt boom started in January, apparently for uo other pur pose than to kill off the roneue boom, which was alone feared Dy tne Tuft men at that time. They thou Ugt nn mtl of it that they did not drea of its becoming a serious faotor in the campaign. But it grew in spite them, in spite of his renunciation of of a third term. It reoi lved a tem porary checK from his refusal to de clare himself, but it revived when he announoed his willingness to respond if the peonle called. Still the trend seemed to be against it. The letter of the seven Governors did not bring fotth the expected popular demand. La Folletta's Philadelphia speech failed to eliminate the Senator, the Columbus speech fell flat, one South ern delegation after another was in structed for laft in March, Roosevelt was beaten in Nortn Dakota, Colorado, Indiana. Kentucky, and lost his own State of New York. He finished with only 40 delegates. fint the more things went against him thn hnrrtnr he fousrht.

Why He Advertises. A prominent business man of Mich igan explains why he advertises and why he uses newspapers for that pur- nose, as follows: "I advertise in the newspapers be cause I am. not ashamed of my good or my work, and to let people know itnrk: hecause 1 cater to the lntelli- t class and thev read the papers and believe in increasing my business because I can talk to more peonie through tho newspapers at a greater distance in less time and at a more reasonable crice than in any other wav: because my newspaper adver tisine has brought me greater returns fnr tho least expenditure of any ad vertisina I have done; because when i urite an ad I am not too stingy to pay for placing it in the best possible medium to havel it inserted so it is attractive, beoause I know my ad is noun and read bv everyone in the house where the naper goes." make The Nation Uap.

A story is told of an eminent lawyer receivinL' a severe reprimand rrom a witness whom be was trying to brow beat. It was an Important issue, ana in order to save his cause from defeat It was necessary that the lawyer should lmneach the witness. He endeavored to do it on the ground of age in the following manner: How old are you? nsked the law- J VAI "Seventy-two years," replied the wit ness. "Your memory, of course, is not so brilliant and vivid as it was twenty years ago. is it?" asked the lawyer. "I do not know but It is," answered the witness.

It Scared the Mathematician, but the Women Solved It. One day a teacher of mathematics went shopping with his wife. He tag ged along listlessly rrom counter io counter until they came to the dress trimmings department, and there he found something in his line, fcaia ms wife to the saleswoman: "How wide is that gold spangieu black crape?" "Three-eighths of a yard,' saiu iue girl. , . "How much is it a yard r "Three dollars." "Well." said the professor's -wife, "how much of three-eighths wide ma- orinl wilt it take to nut four six-incu strips around a two aud thre-quarter yard skirt that is seven inches nar rower at the knees than it is at the bottom, and how much will it cost t tho first mention of those figures the professor's head begau to reel, and it roolod still more when his wife and the girl got out pencils and paper and began to do their sum. i-resenuy ui wife said: "Here, dear; you know all about mathematics. Help us solve this prob lem, won't you ?" But the professor said: "excuse me, I feel faint; I must get a little fresh air," and iguomiuously fled. TTta wife came home with exactly the amount of material required, and the professor took her word for it that she didn't pay a cent too much. Phila delphia Ledger. A Wily Mocking Bird. A naturalist tells of a droll exhibition of fun evinced by a mocking bird. It had only recently been captured ana was placed near another cage in which were two canaries, both excellent sing ers. The mocking bird at first seemed to be struck dumb by his voluble neighbors; but, as it turned out after ward, he was only biding his time. For several days he remained silent, taking notes, until he bad mastered their song, when one day, without even a preliminary rehearsal, be burst out into a canary song in a loud, ringing tone that struck his yellow throated neighbors mute with astonishment. After this it was a favorite amuseiiievit of his to drown the voices of the ca naries with his own loud notes when ever they attempted to slug. Detroit Free Press. German English. While visiting a small manufacturing town In Germany last summer a New York woman bought a tortoise shell hair ornament which was badly injured through a servant's carelessness. The saleswoman to whom it was returned with a request to have it repaired, wishing probably to air her English, sent it back to the hotel with this note: "The hair comb sending to me is heavy to rennir whilst the pieces only through wire fastening can be. I would the destroy of the hair comb re solvethen could the lovely ornamen- tal 1 for other one hair comb be accom- ilish." New York Tribune. His Suspicion. "Well, whnddy you want?"

There is a good orchard of 150 choice bearing fruit trees; 9-room resi dence with water piped in from spring; large sheep shed and other outbuildings.
