President Cleveland's cabinet Is pretty
cosmopolitan sort OF council board in the
matter Of favorite modes Of passing idle
summer hours Some have their fads, and
some, like the little dog in one Of Mother
Hubbzrdis rhymes. have none.

has had a vacation most all his life, rarely
attending steadily TO anything save his
hobbies, which have been useful ones; and
