In all directions. To the north are the
links Of the Princeton Golf club, stretch
ing away to the Rocky Hill Ridge, five
miles distant. To the south lies the
town, with its clustering trees and
pretty homes, with here and there a
spire or tower rising above the COM
mon level, and showing the location OF
an edifce dedicated to education and
religion.
The presidents new home is of colon
ial architecture. 1t is surrounded by
pines and elms, with spacious lawns and
neatly-trimmed walks and driveways.
1t is pretty, but not extensive. Its d.
mensions are 50x50 feet, with an ~"
about 25x25 feet. Its interior is divided
into Is rooms, with wide hallway run
ning through the center. 1t is 2k
stories in height, with well-finished
basement. 1t is built of brick and stone.
with cream-colored stucco finish. Dark
brown trimmings give tasteful aspect
to the building, and the green blinds
in the almost square windows, which
are placed at regular intervals, form
an agreeable contrast with the light yell
low background. At the front of the
house are the conventional white pill
lars of colonial architecture, support
ing cosy portico, and at both ends are
smaller porticoes, with fancy iron sup
ports. A large glass window on the
street side provides for house plants.
The whole place bears an aspect that
savors of the antique and secluded.
A hedge surmounting an embankment
six feet high shuts out the view from
the avenue, and even at the occasional
openings where walks and drives pierce
the hedge only a meager view of the
house is obtained. the thick foliage of
the pines and elms and laurels almost
hiding the house. The place is we'll
equipped with an orchard, garden for
flowers and vegetables, gardeners
house and well-appointed barn.

TALKING.

Last June l was taken with rheuma-
tism and laid helpless three weeks when,
being no better, was carried to the Mary
Fletcher Hospital, Burlington, a neighbor
and friend, Mr.. Joreph Seymour, going
with me. l went through course of
treatment there consisting of hot baths
and medicines bnt got no relief and was
brought home never expecting to be any
better. A friend then urged me to try
SMITHS RHEUMATIC CURE, which
l reluctantly did as l had no faith that
anything would help me. What l am
going to say now may seem an incredible
story but it is true, nevertheless, that in
less than two weeks the swelling and
pain had left me and l went to driving
stage from here to Dorset. My appetite
improved and in that time l gained ten
pounds in weight and am now able to do
a good days work.

WHAT THE SITTER SAYS,

It is charmingly beautiful life that
manifests no malice or hatred.
He builds upon a rock who does
right for the rights sake.
The stern realities of life are soften
ed by cords Of love and frightened by

The belief in eternal progress can on
ly be founded upon the theory that the
bad must perish and the good never
ceases to exist.
