was seriously i'll and that the malady |
from which he was suffering was
Bright's disease, many persons who |
read It accepted the false report as
true until the story was corrected.
There is no question that Mr.. Cleve-
land is enjoying better health now
than for years. DR.. j. H Wyckotf of |
Princeton, Mr.. Cleveland's physician, |
said:
Il have been attending Mr. Cleve- |
land for two years. It is absolutely |
untrue that he is suffering from
Bright's disease, nor has he had any
symptoms that would indicate the
presence OF the disease. Mr.. Cleve-
land is in especially good health"
The truth is that in the three years
Mr. Cleveland has lived in Princeton
he has suffered from but one illness.
Last December he had an attack of
rheumatic govt which made his great
toe exceedingly painful and affected
mis- knee. The result was that he
moved about as little as possible.
When Mr.. Cleveland went south on
a fishing and shooting trip with
Capt. Robley d. Evans in February, he
tramped around in heavy cowhide
boots which chafed that equity toe. He
remained quiet for a few days upon
mis- return until the toe became well
again. This is the only, foundation
for the report that Mr. Cleveland was
seriously i'll. ,ea.a
Mr.. Cleveland looks better today
than he has in ten years. His hair is
no grayer and seemingly little thinner
than it was then. The tuft in the
center of his partly bald forehead is
still as rebellious as ever. His eyes
look clear and youthful; indeed, the
greatest improvement is in them. The
dark half-moons under them, which
were so familiar when Mr.. Cleveland
was in public life have disappeared.
The mouth is strong and there is little
gray in the brown mustache.
He dresses carelessly and comfort
ably. During the daytime he usually
wears loose-fitting lounging coat
of gray or brown stuff, and big broad
toed shoes, designed for ease and with
due consideration for the equity toe.
Mr.. Cleveland looks like man who
is extracting the fullest enjoyment
out of life. He has said that the last
three years have been the happiest he
has ever known. When some of his
friends have urged him to take up
serious work again, he has replied:
Why should /? l am enjoying the
first holiday of my life. l have al
ways worked hard Now I think
am entitled to rest. / think my mis-
sion in life has been accomplished
When he nas been urged by the
professors in Princeton to write his
autobiography, he has refused with
much decision.
There is no reason for my writing
my autobiography, has been his reply.
MY official acts and public career are
public property. There is nothing to
say about them. What did is done
and history must judge of it's value,
not I. Ny private life has been so
commonplace that there is nothing to
write about" e9sG1c
Simple and quiet is the life of this
former president of the United States

He is seldom seen on the streets,
the reason being that cameraS fiends
snap him. Men at work stop to talk
labout him and sometimes crowd will
follow him.
When Mr. Cleveland does walk
Through the town he wears light
alpine hat with a black band. dark
tovercoat. and he strides along with a
vigor and springiness that are out of
all proportion to his 275 pounds and
sixty-three years. When he shakes
hands with a friend the strength of
his clasp is likely to make him vince.

Friends often call upon him, college
