Drudgery Required of the President.

In The Century G. @. Buel has a pa-
per ON Our Fellow Citizen of the White
House." in which he writes of the Off
cial cares OF the president. In opening
his article Mr. Buel SAYS:
A president who should not carry in
to the White House relish for drudg-
cry, business habits Of the incest dis
elimination and constitution of iron
would be president only in name, even
as regards his more important duties
Ills signature on the papers which he is
told will not otherwise be legal might
be as good as the custodian Of his bank
account woul,i require, but within the
meaning OF tn. law it would be as often
as not moral forgery. Yet no com.
plant should be offered ON this account.
Presidents are made for better or for
worse. Such as they are III natural facul-
ties and strength, so they must serve,
some OF them leaning on official advisers
and bureaucratic clerks in every step
they take and some of them putting the
stamp of their own individuality ON the
papers and acts which make up an adj
ministration.
When president elect, facing the
chief justice, has repeated the constitu-
tional oath, 81 do solemnly swear that
will faithfully execute the office of
president of the United States and will,
to the best of my ability. preserve, pro-
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States" he has indentured him
self for four years of the heaviest servi-
tude that ever fell to the lot of any NOR
tai. By comparison the "hired man"
talked about in the last canvass would
lead pampered existence, and consti-
tutional monarch is a man of leisure. A
president equal to his oath is both king
and premier He reigns and he rules
He is bowed down by the crown Of au-
thority and is encompassed by the man
tie of care.

A Sermon to Husbands.

The average man eats only two meals
a day in his own house, and these meals
are the opportunities for social and do
nestle talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her husband
of rubbing against other minds all day,
and important to the children in widen
ing their horizon, their views Of life.
At the first meal of the day most wo-
men like to talk to their husbands about
the plans Of the day, but the woman
who has once received the distract. self
absorbed growl which emanates from a
male disturbed in the reading of his
newspaper does not again attempt to ask
her husband this or that on subject Of
domestic interest. The back of a news
paper is not a pleasant thing to contem-
plate across the breakfast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
look round for the casters or other suit
able prop for the back Of your paper,
and for the sake Of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, reserving it for the train,
omnibus or tram car.
OF course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrilling
import Why not glance at the paper
five minutes before the breakfast bell
rings if it is really essential that such
news should be seen at once? Special &C.
casions sometimes justify special be-
havior, but of your mercy let the news
paper be banished from the breakfast
table ON ordinary occasions. -English

WARNED OF DANGER.
Apparltion That Saved ~ Woman From
Being Bitten by ~ Cobra.


Being Bitten by ~ Cobra.
The following rep. kable occurrence,
an absolute fact, was related by a lady
visiting friends in Hartford as it was
told her by her cousin in Meerat, non tn
western India. 1t took place in the
house Of the sister Of the narrator. OF
its absolute accuracy there can be no
question. The two sisters in India are
connected with families of repute and
with officers in the British army in In
dia. We give the story as the lady here
related it. She is devout member of
the Episcopal church and is incapable
of misrepresenting in the slightest par
ticular.
Her cousin, i'm whose house the occur
renee took place, was seated at a lighted
table engaged in reading. when. think
ing it about time TO retire, and happen
ing to lift her eyes from the book, she
was astonished to see seated in chair
before her. and between herself and the
door to the bathroom, u man, II stranger
to her, who calmly regarded her. 1t was
too great a surprise for her to speak and
demand who was thus intruding unbid
den upon her privacy and what was
wanted. She remained for a moment in
silent astonishment.
Then it gradually dawned upon her
that the figure was probably not that Of
person of real flesh and blood, but a
visitor from the unseen world of life.
She remembered having once, as a child,
seen similar figure, under circum-
stances which seemed to preclude the
idea that it was any person still in the
body, and in later years. in revolving
those circumstances, she had remember
ed how the apparition had after little
| while faded away into invisibility.
Concluding that this new visitor also
was not a person of flesh and blood, she
sat silently gazing at the silent object,
while the intruder, whoever or what
ever he was, sat also in silence, steadily
| regarding her. Just how long this state
of things lasted the lady did not accu-
rately know, but it was probably not
very long, when the mysterious stranger
began to vanish into thinner and thin
ncr personal presence, until i'll a mo-
| ment or two he had vanished quite
| away.
1t was the lady's hour for her evening
bath, but she thought she would first let
out her two pet dogs from their confine-
ment in another room. They came bark
ing furiously and running directly to-
ward the bathroom. There, through the
open door, the lady was Mortified to sec
on the floor monstrous cobra--the
snake whose bite is certain and speedy
death Springing forward to save hei
dogs she quickly shut the door, but not
so instantaneously as to prevent he,
seeing the reptile turning and escaping
down through hole in the floor where
the drain pipes of bathtub and wash
bowl went-a hole which had been care
lessly left larger than was necessary.
If she had gone directly to the bath
room, as she would have done but foi

tant, her life would undoubtedly have

Why?

Why is it that common poet, when
he wishes to compose beautiful poem
on any subject, as Venice or youth, al
ways instinctively begins, 80 Venice, F"
or 80 youth, when it is well known
that no line beginning in that way is
worth cent?
1t is strange, too, that when begin
ner at story writing wishes to make a
sad scene, he always brings in "bitter
tears" and breaking hearts," when it
has long been known to the trade that
the reading public can read about bitter
tears and breaking hearts all day and
never miss q meal.-Detroit Free Press

Queer Language.

The Saturday Review says that when
he was in Egypt Mark Twain hired two
Arab guides to take him to the pyra-
mids. He was familiar enough with
Arabic, he thought, to understand and
be understood with perfect ease. To his
CONSERVATION he found that he could
not comprehend word that either Of
the guides uttered. At the pyramids he
met friend, to whom he made known
his dilemma. II was very mysterious,
Twain thought. "Why, the explanation
is simple enough" said the friend.
"Pleasc enlighten me, them" said
Twain. "Why, you should have hired
younger men. These old fellows have
lost their teeth, and, of course, they
don't speak Arabic. They speak gum

Wales and the Indian Chief.

The Prince of Wales receives many
peculiar, humorous and pathetic letters
of appeal. One of the Oldest Of these APP
peals came from the Wabigoon Lake In
dian reserve, in Canada, some years ago,
when, the regulations being less strict
than now, party of white men, regard
less of treaties, were poaching upon the
preserves of tho Indians.
The red men resented this, and the
chief dispatched the following cable
message:
To the Prince of Wales, London, England:
White men cutting timber on Eagle lake.
Would you kindly como and settle mattery
This was given to US. Please advise.

IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If YOU are
'not quite well" or "half sick" have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause Of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Ro give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as tonic for the entire constitution. If YOU
need medicine take Swamp-Root-it cures.
