No one who has not had special opportuni-

of the trial it is to the chief magistrate. 1t
must be granted he is just and CRATE
full man. He wants to do that which will
be creditable to his administration and at
the same time he must not forget those
who have helped lift him up SO high.
Thus the battle goes on-a daily, hourly,
momentarily clasiling between rivals, be-
tween liars, between backbiters, and on
the part OF the president himself between
conflicting emotions and bewildering per-
plexities. The physical labor of standing
hour after hour, receiving callers and lis
tening to their stories, is as nothing, great
as it is, compared with the mental and
spiritual task involved. Then there are

leading men of the party, even more dill

novelty and given work to hundreds OF
shapely young women by lacking big

have searched for new circus features
which will be seen this season, and my
search has been fruitless. The most inter
esting things I've found have been mere
details. One of them, however, is worthy
of passing notice. Attempts have been
made for years to train cats to do tricks of
various kinds, but with Indifferent success.
Troops of the animals have even been ex-
hibited from time to time, but they were
sorry performers. The feline tribe is in
telligent enough, but it won't do as it's
told. It's not amenable to discipline.
This year, however, patient man will
show the result of what must have been
long and exasperating effort. He has
actually taught pack of cats so well that
they will do tricks of the most intricate
and difficult kind without hesitation or
revolt He harnesses two of them to
tiny hook and ladder truck, and while they
gravely held on the steering wheel and still
another drives. One rides a velocipede.
A big maltese does tricks upon ladder.
But best of all are the two that box.
Standing on their hind feet in miniature
arena, they cuff and dodge, pummel, adj
vance and retreat in true prize ring style.

oldtime jokes, which no one listens to or
could hear if he did, and a few-a very few
new antics. The desperate yearning for
novelty in the breasts of the circus mag
mates is illustrated by the fact that two
clowns will draw enormous salaries this
year because they have contrived to make
a donkey of themselves in a somewhat IN
usual way This is literal. They have
had the head, back and tail Of an ass built
out of papier mache and other property

upon his head and shoulders, while the
other merrily mounts it and rides like

runs madly around the ring is very funny.

some startling figures on the magnitude of
his show. Investigation showed me that
they were not greatly exaggerated.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND TIE WOMEN.
reau officer nor at a member of the cabt-
net. He must see the president himself
He does see him, and thus the highest
officer of the land is annoyed by myriad
of matters which in any other country
would not be carried beyond clerk in one
of the departments. The president has his
social duties to perform, and trying duties
they are. He must hold the levees shak-
ing hands till his back is ready to break in
two. He must give state dinners till his
stomach is cloyed. He must every day
leave his work, no matter how important,
and go down stairs to receive one, two or
five hundred callers He must shake
hands with Indian chiefs, with baseball
players, with colored men from ''Faginny'
and millionaires from New York. Why,
the other day one of the indicted aldermen
from Chicago was here and insisted upon
having an audience with the president. He
must always be ready to do the right thing
and say the right word. In society as in
everything else he is not permitted to
come down to the level which he formerly
occupied and where he found some pleas
ure. He is always the president and is al
ways treated accordingly. 1t either be-
comes very tiresome or it so changes a
mans nature that it is easy to see why he
is mere restless, meandering thing after
the expiration of his term.
President Arthur used to become so tired
of the adulation Of the horde of pretty
women who ran after him in the White
House that he would often steal away at
night with good friend or two and drive
into the country and spend the evening
with an elderly lady, whose wit and wis
dom have been celebrated on two CONT
nents. This woman treated Arthur as an
equal and made him forget he was presi
dent He liked it.
But that which draws tense the mental
skein of the conscientious president, which
brings wrinkles to his brow and cuts short
his days, is the fearful responsibility which
rests upon him. With stroke of the pen
he can change the destiny of parties and
states. With a word President Harrison
could have plunged this country into war
with Chill, which might have made neces-
sary a Encouragement of the map of the
western hemisphere.
With word he might have brought on
war between this country and England,
flame which in all probability would have
fired the world and led to the destruction
of billions of property and hundreds Of
thousands of lives This is not a fancy
picture tits just the sort of crises through
which a president must pass, when he

| White House at s50,000 year. But is this
a good job? Is it soft snap" Is it a
position which conduces to- the happiness
of the man who holds it? Is it desirable
employment? think not. To be entirely
| frank about it, | wouldn't take the job if
| the salary was twice as large as it is. In
| fact the pay, while comfortable, is no OBJ
| Ject.
A president Of the United States does
| more work and gets less for it than any
other worker in public or private service

save some money out of their pay. They
have house rent free, and while their do
nestle and other expenses run well up into
the thousands, | believe Hayes and Arthur
are the only presidents we have had in re-
cent years who spent about all their in
come. Hayes spent his in entertainments,
which were more costly than any that had
been seen IN the executive mansion up to
that time, and so the common tradition
that Mr.. Hayes was of a penurious turn
will have to dissolve in the light of facts.
Arthur managed to get away with the
bulk of his salary by winning and dining
his friends His late hours were fright
fully expensive. They cost not only money
but health, and were indirectly the cause
Of that admirable gentleman's early death.
Arthur lived at very high pressure.
That is precisely the trouble with the
presidential Office. 1t requires its incum-
bent to live at such a rate, with such a
fearful load upon his mind, that unless re-
strained by domestic ties or by sturdiness
of character long settled in an even groove,
it is next to impossible to avoid one sort of
excess or another in the struggle for relief
from the cares of Office.
The presidency is not desirable job be-
cause it wrecks the life of nearly every
man who fills it. This may sound like
heresy but it is true A thoroughly sue
cessful life is not the one spent in acquir-
ing vest wealth or great power. 1t is the
life which is filed with most rational en-
joyment, with ease of mind and a calm,
satisfied old age. Jay Gould's life has been
about as rank failure as any life / know
of. For the same reason the lives of near
ly all our presidents are failures In filling
such high place they distort and pervert
their individuality as men; the enjoy
