MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN ms Es-
CAPE.
Ibid not succeed in drawing ont Mr..
Cleveland regarding his candidacy, but
he said naively, Is he turned aside to
spit on his bait, that his health was tip
top.
"That," said he, as he unfastened his
hook from the wainscoting Of my trous-
ers, lis one thing which like about me.
While not in any sense a candidate, You
may say IN a general way that my health
is right good"
"What ! admire about Mr.. Cleve-
land" said Mr.. Jefferson the following
day, ''is. that he is just man. Even
his enemies must admit that. When
we go out fishing and return at
night. Mr.. Cleveland will not accept
more than his just share Of the catch.
do not say that Mr.. Blaine would ex-
pect to catch schubs' and pumpkin
seeds all day and then expect to Offset
them against brook trout, but at the
same time think that he might con-
slider that his conversational powers
would offset his suckers, while Mr..
Cleveland does not try to so work his
diplomatic gifts as to keep him in grub.
He Is a man who wants to give substan-
tial justice to everybody, and Of course
this does not suit those who never
tried IL.
"Mr. Cleveland and his wife make
good neighbors here, and he has never
borrowed anything yet that he has not
returned. help him in haying and he
helps me in harvest. We exchange
works. l let him have my 'autobi-
ography' to read and he loans me some
Of his most spicy old messages to con-
grsas-"
Property has greatly appreciated In
this country since the arrival of the
Cevelands, Jeffersons and Gilders.
From $S2 per acre paid by Mr.. Charles
jefferson, the price has gone up to $3.50
and $500 and even to price per front
foot But fortunately the speculator
will not get chance at it, for the colony
holds enought of it to keep the semibar-
barism Of boom out of it. What can
be sadder than the stealthy football of q
$2 boom in the soothing silence of the
primeval forest? What can be more SOC
rilegious than the fzzle Of soda foun-
tain or a fictitious value where nature
has held the age on the false and the
artificial for centuries?
The tendency for the past few years
among those who have leisure and even
moderate means is to foster the growth
of cottage life, and to the detriment of
the great, overgrown summer hotel, with
its waste Of piazzas and raw material.
Its tiddledewinks greatness, its James
Crow aristocracy, its noise and newness,
salt air and starvation, its fussy invalids
and footpad walters.
Why not have even q fifty dollar log
cabin in the hills or a wall tent by the
waiting sea in preference to all this9
have a wall tent this summer which
is much larger than any room ever
had at seaside hotel, and l have pros
pect on the outside that money could not
buy. We have also in the North Caro-
lima mountains style of refrigerator for
meats that would surprise and amuse

gular cage, covered with mosquito wire
and attached to rope. We put pulley
up in high pine tree and run the rope
over it. Then we attach the refrigerator,
put in our meats and pull the whole
thing mp In tho tree. It keeps sweet and
