At o'clock promptly he fings care and
business aside and goes out for an hour.
Sometimes he walks, sometimes he rides
horse, sometimes goes in carriage On
returning the President glances over the
daily papers and rests until dinner time.
Dinner 10 served at o'clock promptly, and
the President dons evening dress for It,
He often invites friends to this meal in
formally, and it is very seldom indeed that
the President and his wife sit down to a
meal by themselves. After dinner, If
there are men to entertain, the President
takes them into the little room off the hall,
where they smoke and tell stories.
There's No Let-up.
In the evening there is very often music
at the White House, and music of the
best character, and there are always call
ers. 1t would seem as though public men
might respect the evenings of the Presi-
dent and leave him to his family, unless
specially invited, but they don't. They
invade his home life, and talk consulshps,
secretaries, ministers, revenue collectors,
appraisers, commissioners and so on
through the list, till 10 o'clock or after,
when they go and leave the President to
go to his Office to look at the bushel of
kilograms, the two bushels of letters, the
half ton of documents to sign, all of
which must be cleaned up before he goes
to bed, else one days work would soon
cover another, and he would never get
through. BY the time the last paper is at
tended to the President is as tired as
though he had been working in the har-
vest field all day.
Three days in the week he gives an hour
to shaking hands with the general public
in the East room. This time is 3 o'clock,
and it is motley assembly that greets his
eyes. There are old men and young ones,
old women and young ones, all colors,
classes and conditions of humanity, and
little children make large contingent.
Two days week are given over to cab
met meetings, from II to /, and it is then
that affairs of national Importance are
considered. These days are particularly
hard upon the President. because he must
consider conflicting interests and harmon
ize them, he must keep his finger on the
pulSe of the people through all his cab
met officials. and decide firmly and wise
ly the questions that are brought to him.
All this work is crowded upon the Pres
ident. and he has one state dinner a week,
to say nothing of the dinners he must at.
tend, the state receptions and other So
ciety functions which demand the time
and presence of the President; with bills
of Congress to read and sign, and mes
sages to write, it will be seen that the
man who digs cellars has much the best Of
it as to time; he works eight, and the
President nearer eighteen hours of the

Presbyterian Assemblies.


The governing body of the Presbyterian
Church, the general assembly, has been
holding its one hundred and ninth annual
session at Eagle Lake, Ind. This conven-
ion is one of the most important religious
convocations in the country: 1t represents
nearly 5000 congregations, comprising al
most 1,0OO,OOO church members. These

powerful influence for good. Besides its
home church work, it carries on a mis-
sionary organization covering fifteen
countries, for which purpose there was
contributed in 1896 the sum of So, ,643, 30.
Its home missionary work is conducted by
eight powerful boards. The assembly

routine business affairs.
The assembly was opened with prayer
by DR.. Arthur J. Brown, secretary of the
board of foreign missions. The devotion

Father" Byron Sunderland of Washing

moderator, Rev. DIR. John l.. Withrow,
was upon the "Chiefest Grace of Chris

fourth chapter and eighth verse.
