Ifhe doesn't rest up bit, and take a course
of the right medicine, that mans fortune
will begin TO slip through his fingers be-
cause OF bad judment or poor work. He
will steadily grow worse until consumption
or some fatal nervous malady overtakes
him. Then will come death and it will not
take the administrators long to wipe out the
balance OF his fortune.

lucky, nor has a deer been tied up by
a guide that he may make sure shot,
as according to- the story told here
was done for Presidenet Cleveland
during one Of his Adirondack hunting
excursions. SO far as I cali learn Pre-
sident Mckinley has no ambition to
shoot deer. He has not so far even
attacked the ground squirrels which
he meets with in a walk on the lawn.
and so far as attempting to murder
any Of the innocent hogs, which are
found in the country roads away from
the hotel, as our bloodthirsty Ben
Harrison did when he was taking a
presidential vacation in Virginia, I
know that Mckinley would scorn It,

the Grand Army. He is fond Of military af-

which the great nation over which the
president rules is to a certain extent
at odds. The London papers after the
late Sherman seal letter were filled with
rumors of war. Were this not a civil

regiments from Canada slip over and

There is no man in the country who
leads a simpler or palmer life than
Mckinley does here. He is in the

In his own rooms he is at his own re-
quest, treated almost absolutely the
same as the rest. He has not a snob-
bish hair on his head, and he is as
plain in his ways here as one of An
drew JacllSon's old clay pipe stems.
He walks about the grounds alone,
at times going down to the lake and
wandering through the pine forests
which skirt it's banks below the hotel.
He is the ruler of $4,000, 900 people, and
he has more power than Queen Vic

HOTEL CHAMPLAIN, LAKE
CHAMPLAIN, Aug. 19.-I spent some
time with the president this morning.
1 have never seen him in better con-
dition. His eye is bright, his step
firm and his spirits are as fresh as
those of a boy. He weighs just 100
pounds, but he does not look over
stout, and he carries himself as
straight as he did when he started out

more than fifty thousand people who

addition to this, handled seventy thou

held fifty public receptions, the aver

talked on business with fifty thousand
congressman, and has made over nine
hundred appointments to office. This
has all been done in less than five
months, and when the physical and
mental wear and tear is considered it
will be seen that the work Is enormous.
Forty thousand office seekers, at two
minutes each, must have eaten up
eighty thousand minutes of the presi-
dents time, or enough to have kept
him busy for over four months, work
ing ten hours a day. I don't believe
the office seekers, however, averaged a
