his sleep was dreamless, and said he
was almost surprised himself at his ex-
cellent condition. shortly before 6
o'clock he was taken out for his morn
ing drive, and was away from Claren-
don hall for an hour and Il half. Dur
ing the morning he drank considerable
water, and remarked that each drink
made him fee stronger He reclined
ON his couch much of the time talking
solubly with visitors. Among them
was DR. Magus, of Greenfield, Mass,
