In the emo Of the oldest inhahitant,
has not been known to attack man.
In the hotel the president can indulge
in the vices OF buying chewing gum and
cigars out OF a time-honored case in a tiny
Office.
On Sunday afternoons there is church
service on the tavern porch. Sometimes
a stray clergyman oficiates. II the COM
munity cannot catch a clergyman, some
grave member Of the congregation makes
an impromptu address. Secretary Shaw
has been set down for one. Perhaps the
president will have to ~oficiate himself at
a service.
In addition to these designations the
president can take walks along the banks
Of the lake. He can even hire n horse and
wagon belonging to the poor farm.
When all these joys have been tasted to
the dregs he can visit the one and only
inmate Of the farm, who dwells there OF
inalienable right, being the single, soli-
tary, lone pauper of Charlotte. He is an

ways by watching the money rolling In

cows busily fatten themselves. nature and
man thus combining unselhshly to sup
port him amply.
This remarkable place for a presidents
visit is known as Thompson's Point. 1t
juts out into a most beautiful part Of Lake
Champlaln. and has the combined charms
Of lake and mountain scenery to make It
lovely. For about three-quarters Of a mile

with Just enough soil to nourish the trees.
: Being quite useless for agriculture, the
owl conceived the idea of laying It out In
half acre lots for campers who can rent
a plot for $40 a year. with a lease for fifteen
years.

is so much wilderness that they barely serve

inlet between Thompson's Point and the
famous Split rock, which once was the
boundary of the Algonquins and the Iro-
quois, its crossing by either tribe being
considered as invasion and meaning war.
Secretary Shaw probably will tell the
president Of the Indian version of the story
Of Hero and Leander' that is woven
around this spot.
There was an Indian Hero. She was an
Iroquois. There was an Indian Leander.
He was a Mohawk. The Mohawk Leander
used to swim this Vermont Hellespont to
WOO his Hero. One dark and stormy night
the black waters that lie deep and cold at
the base of the. cleft held him in their wet
embrace, and the Iroquois Hero waited in
vain until the yellow dawn came over the
hills. She found him on the rocks, and the
Indian story says that her mouth never
smiled and her eyes never looked love
again.
They named the Cleft Rock after him
Re-gioch-ne; the point opposite they named
for her-Re-gio-cine.
Southeast Of the point is a large bay,
which was called the Bay of Vessels"
The fleets mustered during the French and
Indian wars met there. Strange fleets they
were-grea war canoes full of painted,
silent ~men-dugouts with the s%tralghtest
and keenest and bravest men Of Europe
crafts Of Adventures, and zealots and
marauders and civilizers all bent together
on the one errand of war.
Did the eye Of any dreamer among them
see a vision Of the nation whose peaceful
government is SO simply represented there
this year?
In those days the land was full of deer
and the lake was full Of fish. The big
wall-eyed pike or pike perch still are plen-
tiful, and specimens measuring more than
two feet have been taken frequently. There
are no deer nowadays. but that ancient
man, Squire Atkins, knows Of times when
there were lots of them, and he stands
prepared to tell Theodore Roosevelt the
full and plain facts concerning them.

The dining room is even simpler than the
library. The table is covered with a red
and white checked cloth, and the decora-
lions are of the land. 1t looks like a room
in a nice country boarding house.
Justice Brewer lives in his owl house
at least as much of 1t as his %grandchil-
dren will let him own. Mostly they climb
over the porch and the trees and the jus
tice with generous impartiality. He likes
it. Injunctions do not issue there, and If
they did they wouldn't CO."
The justice is a satisfying sight when
he sallies forth to the tavern. He does
not go there for the purposes that one
might suspect from this bald statement.
He goes there for his mail, the tavern
being the hotel, general store, Sunday
meeting place and postof1ce combined.
The postmistress is the wife of Martin
Williams, the tavern keeper. She thinks
that there is nobody like the justice. He
wears a fine aged cap with flap. Under
it his white hair sticks out in true Green
mountain style, hallowed since the days
of the Green Mountain boys Of &c. He
sticks to the frock coat, but wears 1t as
frock coats are worn in the country stores
and not as they are worn in Washington.
In common with the rest OF the popu-
lace. the justice INDUCES twice a day in
the excitement of seeing the steamboat
C~hateaguay arrive from Burlington. Cha
teaguay always brings some stirring sur
prise, from a piece of real news Of the
outside world to a barrel Of potatoes.
While Secretary Shaw is an old Yer
monter, having attended school in Stowe
and having been in business in Burling-
ton, the justice is not a whit behind him
In patriotic fervor. Although he is a Kan
sas man, he signs himself "Son-in-Law of
Vermont" because he is married to a
Vermont woman.
Both Of them are full Of the lore of the
lake and the mountains. They know all

He gets up every morning at 6 o'clock and

Almost every morning he takes a long

however, and 1t is quite Impossible to lure

once-long before Iowa elected him to the
chair Of governor-he sent her a letter
while he was away from home. He did
not address 1t to her by name. The ad-
dress on the envelope was simply:

SAINT. These two men stand for the
same principles in public life. and this
fight in Minnesota now being Waged by
the trusts against Gov Van SAINT is but
the forerunner of the fight to be made
against President Roosevelt. When
the governor began the now-famous
merger suits, he aroused the bitter OPP
position of that great animation OF
wealth, and when President Roose-55
welt, at the request of the governor
had the suit brought under the Sher--
man act, that hatred and opposition
descended to him. Baked in its 81
gantic scheme Of stock obbing, Wall
street vowed vengeance on both of
them. Railroad presidents and Wall
street magnates freely made the threat
in Washington that they would defeat
both President Roosevelt and Gov Van
SAINT for reelection They will doubt
less now be Joined in the effort by the
ccal barons. It is well known that the
merger railroads made every effort to-
prevent Gov. Van SAINTS denomination.
Utterly failing Of even getting can
didate against him in the Republican
party, they determined to beat him at
the polls, if money could do It. The
money has been Forthcoming and is
being freely spent; but II money can,
