PICTURES WHICH REST THE PRESIDENT.
Aad still this is an ideal place Tor a
residential vacation Mr. Mckinley
does not like to change. and it Is not
| improbable that next summer will fad
him asaiu where he is now. Here h. is
away from the office seekers He has
given orders that only the most impera-
i've mail be forwarded to him, ami all
the surroundings are OF health and
p ace. The holel i,sel' is very large.
1t covers at least half an acre, but S
guests are singulary quiet, and the
politician is II t 10 be seen.
The scenery here is OF It's own kind
II is most beautiful and TIVE cloud effects
charge the aspect o. nature every h lur
Let me give You some of the pictures
upon which the Presideni IS now looking
to rest his soul His quarters are in lie
annex OF the hotel, uItn windows Civ
ing views OF both lake and mountains
Out in front OF him there il IA dense Tor
est OF dark green pines through which
the breezes from the Green mountains
OF Vermont rush after their fliSht across
the lake in order that they may be per
TUNED with liie-glving ba'sam before
they kiss the Presidents lips. Beyond
the pines lies Lake Champliin, lis CLASSY
surface sill .htly rippled by the breeze
and painted wi h golden wavelets by the
setting su1. A long chain OF pretty
tal It.l Il L. la
sea Of gold, and beyond are the SIN 1ky
blue hills growing darker as thy rise
one upon the'other uni they saw their
way into tie silver and purple sky.
How quet it is. You Can near the
clack, clack. clack of that mans ieet as
they touch the steps of the stairs which
lead from the hotel piazza down the bluff
to the beach. You can hear the birds
singing in the trees, cha,tsring at one
another and one now and then bursting
out into volume OF liquid song. That
IS the concert which greetS the Presi-
> eirs as he opens h ewes in the
morning. concert which is kept mer-
rily up all day long.
Let us turn about and look out of an
other window. In front Of us are some
Of the highest OF the Adirond ,cks, their
peaks resting in go den clouds. Between
the mountains and the President is a
park of velyety green, and there upon it
are two ground squirre'sp aging. They
have come out oil tue pines for gamb 81
together an almos, scare that ro7in
Ted-5reast, who, though It is late in the
day. is diligently seeking for the typical
worms.
sIDETRIPS AND SIDE VIEWS.
You have read the kilograms about
the Presidents movements, how he has
taken one or two yacht trips, aud now he
has crossed once or twice over the lake
10 Vermont He has taken rides to see
Au Sable ch6sm, about twelve miles
away. Here the waters ofthe Au Sable
river, alter uashing over great falls
toil and foam as they winl their way
through one OF the most wondt rtul
gorges OF the United States. 1t is ZOO
ieet deep and two miles in length, and
its beauties have been compared TO
those OF the Yosemite in miniature.
You have heard how he mas gone fishing
and what he has caught, and can tel
you in passing that So far his hook has
no, been baiIed beforehand with fish in
order that he may be reported as lucky
nor has a deer been tied up by a guide
that he may make sure shot. as &C
cord ng to the story told here was done
for President Cleveland during one of
his Adirondack huntins excursions. So
lar as | can learn President Mckinley
has no ambition TO shoot deer He has
not SO far even attacked the ground
squirrels which he meets with ia his
wa ks on the lawn, and so far a attempt
ing TO murder any OF the innocent hogs
which are found in the country roais
away from the hotel, as our bloodthirsty
Ben Harrison did when he was taking
preside ntial vacation in Virginia, know
that Nick inley would scorn It.
HOW UNCLE SAM LOST A COLONEL AND
GOT A PRESIDENT
The President will be in his element
at the Grand Army reunion at Buffalo.
He is strong Grand Army man, and
always weais red, white and blue but
ton in the lapel OF his coat. He had
one on when called upon him today.
He likes To so over his soldier life with
his old comrades, and his eyes lighted
up when men,ilned the Grand Army.
He is fond OF military aft iTs, and 1t is
not known TO many tnat he narrowly es-
capped being swallowed up in the regular
