THE CIVILIZED wEsr.

In the old days Of the West, be
fore New York and New England
had made themselves felt In the de,
velOpement of pioneer settlements
the possession Of q fine house, and
especially the decoration Of the
Interior were looked upon more "a an
evidence Of weakmindednsss than
rs proof of the westward march oI
the higher civilization. With the
steady growth Of an Essteru-bretl
population, the ruder ideas OF West
eTn life were driven Into the inac.
cessible parts of the country, and the
Eastern traveller found little differ
ence between the towns and cities Of
the west and northwest aud those
OF the East. In most Western com
munities the dominating ideas of
society and home life have so far
changed that q rOachmau la live ~

time ago that silk hats and rOachmeu
were unknown i'm the west, 10 not
actually prohibited. Few persons
who have not sren the West since
the bOisteTOus pioneer days would
recognize IL now, because all that
made II famous then has disappeared

TIE MECCA OF CRANES.

country make pilgrlmRges when they
can. To protect Mr.. Harrison from
torture by them, from physical as

has TO lie surrounded by q Gordon Of
guards. At every reception lac gives
each guest has tO pass the scrutiny
Of six watehful sentineiS before ihr
VisitOT gets near the chief magistrate.
At all hours the lobby Of the white
house IL patrolled by these men,
each Of whom IL especially selected
for his skill as n detective rs well ~
for muscular strength. Capt. Dens-
more, who has command of the
squad, IL reckon-d the most expert
Judge Of Granks In this country. His
first lieutenant has an upper arm
that Is as Zig as an ordinary mans
thigh, and his fellows are all athletes.
The squad has plenty to do. Dozens
Of persons afflicted with one form or
another Of dementia are turned away
by them from the executive mansion
every day. The moment an individ-
ual appears whose aspects 10 not en-
tirely satisfactory he IL asked whst
his business is, and. unless his reply
is reassuring, he IL not admitted. A
few days ago n man called to ace MIR.
Harrison with q tin box under his
arm. Tin boxes are suspicious aTti-
cles, and he was pressed closely upon
his errand. Finally he said that he
had new Kind Of religion In the
box to show the president. OF
course thai settled him. Perhaps
the funniest Of all the queer people
ThO come to the white house are
those who demand permission to
visit the most private rooms Of the
president, on the ground tina, they,
as representatives Of the public, own
the establishment. Thanks to the |
taken, Mr.. Harrison Is
safe In his own dwelling. Lincoln
was not murdered in the executive
m Iusion; Il wac at the lheater he
was attacked. Garfield vss asssssi-
mated at q railroad station. Any
crank who attempted to getIst the
chief magistrate TO attack him in the
white house would be grabbed, dis
armed and carried of 10 the nearest
