APPETITE.
Riding with Mrs. Edison from Ocean Grove to

1.-THE President is very sick man. His cheeks
are sunken and there is but little flesh on his
face. His fingers are bony, with the tight
skin drawn over them. If he can only get an
appetite where he now is l think he will live
but he must get an appetite. The President is
an intelligent patient and eats because it is ne
cessary he should eat; but he does not relish his
food. We often indulge him in dishes he asks
for. and when they are prepared he will say, i
guess don't want anything"
