Mr.. Cleveland was 81 years old yes
terday Sunday. Judging from his
face one would say he wears his official
responsibilities lightly. His health is
perfect, and his three years of Presiden-
tial work and worry have not made any
wrinkles on his face. He has no more
gray hairs, and indeed he seems Il
Younger man and has more pleasant
lines in his countenance now than when
he assumed White House cares.
Few Presidents have been able to
maintain such uniformly good health
while in Office as Mr.. Cleveland. His
condition is matter Of surprise to those
who know how hard he is compelled to
work and how many and great are his
daily annoyances. General Harrison
was sent into a deir>um in which he
ravcd about the office seekers, and
from which he finally died. President
Taylor was dragged to his grave by
these same cares, and President Arthur
was induced by them to say within
two months after he went to the White
House that he would not accept the
position again if it We're offered to him
on silver plate. Still it will be re-
membered that in three years he had
changed his tone and was as ardent a
candidate as ever worked u wire.
President Cleveland's health in the
White House is due largely to his pow
er of throwing of worry. He decides
questions rs they come before him. lie
devotes his mind to the thing at hand.
This settled, he thinks no more about
it, and throws his force into the next
duty that lies nearest him, and when
he leaves his office he does not carry
his work with him.

Some of the Senators have admon-
