of you town folks will ever be while the
craze to follow fashion and make money
is at such a tension. Relax, come out

and fields, and gather the wild flowers
that are everywhere. 1t won't cost you

MIR. Cleveland Of To-Day.
The following pen portrait of the Pres.
ident appears true to life. The Wash.
ington Star from which We take it, has
drawn it with an accuracy as marked as
is the personality of the subject:
1t does not take long for the politicians
who have bad two years of experience in
Congress to "size" up man. The first
thing they do when new administration
comes into power is to take the measure
ments of the President and his cabinet.
They have known the men we'll enough
before, but their duty, after the changed
conditions, is to ascertain how they fit in
their new positions. They studied
Cleveland before when he was in the
White House; now they are making the
review of the study, and they find that
they have a revised and improved edi.
tion. Every Senator and every member
of the House who calls on Mr.. Cleveland
watches and studies him with the care of
scientific expert, aud when they get
together in the hotel corridors, or in the
privacy of their rooR, they compare
notes and make their estimates. This is
as much part of their business as it is
the business of doctor to make study
of his patient, and they are as expert as
any doctor.
Cleveland. has had his measure taken
physically, mentally and psychologically,
and the decision is that he has greatly
improved since he was last at the head
of the nation, He does not appear as
heavy and aabby as he used to be.
While be has aged little and has lost
considerable of his hair, he seems more
active and closer knit, more capable of
endurance. His physical condition is
shown to be strong by his recklessness as
to fatigue and exposure and freedom
from any evil results from it.
Mentally he is keener, more astute,
quicker of perception and broader of Wis.
ions, aud underneath all this be is more
in. touch with mankind-more genial,
less apt to be fretful, more apt to get in
sympathy with and understand all man
ner and conditions of men. He is more
man of the world. Having more con.
fdence in himself, he has more in other
people, and where he has the lack OF
confidence it is more clearly marked as
to the individual, instead of being gen.
eral. The general comment is that he is
pleasant man to meet and more diff
cult to influence. He has a wider &C.
quaintsnce with men, q broader range of
vision and more clearly defined purposes.
He is not inclined to devote as many
hours to work as he used to, but he can
of more in less time. Just at present he
is being put through pretty hard strain,
but, with all the handwriting and'all the
opportunities be is submitted to, he does
not appear to be in the least disturbed.
he seems to have solved the problem OF
letting the other fellow do the worrying.
The men who want the places can fuss
and fume as much as they care to, while
he takes it all philosophically.
At the end of day, seemingly of an
noyances, he comes out smiling and fresh
as if there was nothing in the world to
bother him. When solicitous friends ask
if he is not OVERRIDING himself, he replies
that he does not think about it. He may
not always appear in the most amiable
mood, but if be shows anger it is for the
benefit of the other fellow, and he does
not agitate himself. He will laugh it off
with some one else Immediately.
In everything he says, in all his actions
and in every attitude, he shows himself
to be in perfectly Independent frame of
mind and to q degree defiant. There are
certain things he is very earnest about,
and when be speaks of these, as he does
whenever there is promise of anything
being accomplished by it, he shows con-
siderable feeling. One thing that every
one is satisfied about is that he is not 60.
ing to allow anything to run on long that
annoys or disturbs him in any way, if be
can help it.
