aENL. HARRIsoN on oFFIoE-sEEKERs.

GENL. HARRISON ON oFFICE-sEEKERs.
Ex-President Harrison gives most inter
esting pen picture of "A Day With the Presi-
dent at His Desk" in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. The article is unique as
being the first written by President Of life
in the White House, and in describing the
routine Of a Chief Executive.
A feature that he treats with directness re-
lates to the Presidents Interruptions from
callers and ofiice-seekers. 1T is a rare good
fortune" he writes, during the early
months Of an administration if the President
gets one wholly uninterrupted hour at his
desk each day The Presidents time is so
broken into bits that he is often driven to
late night work, or to set up desk in his
bedroom when preparing message or other
paper requiring unbroSen attention.
Thoughtlessuess is the root Of all this. i
only want five minutes and if he were the
only one it could be spared but his double
is at his heels, and the urgent public business
is postponed or done at night with a jaded
mind.
1T may be said that untimely visitors
should be excluded, and so they should but

seekers persistency in having personal inter
views with the President, General Harrison
asserts that they advance their cause but
little if it all But the feeling that some
thing is OF may be gained by a personal inter
view prevails, and for the first year and a
half of an administration the President
spends from four to six hours Of each day
talking about things he viii not have to act
upon for months, while the things that ought
TO be done presently are hurtlully postponed
IF the President could make up and pub
lish an appointment docket, and notify all
persons having anything to say ina ptucular
case to draw near on fixed day, il would
result in great saving of time all around,

Tours to Florida

No district in America presents, during tho
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
he State Of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one esCap ng from the cold
and unhealthful changes OF the North seems
almost ethereal, it is prominently land Of

miles Of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from tho migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompano, and others of a more
tropical character Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
iuds safety Deer turkeys, bears, panthers,
aud wild cats roam Mt large through the more
sparscly settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport Of al
l.gator and manateG hunting may also be in
duged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing its fishing aud hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature the sportsman and the explorer
