PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE.
for the Impersonal Chief Ex-
ecutive of the Nation.

The president is an object Of curl
Osity. but he is also the most distin-
guished man in the country. Crowds.
it is true, flock to railway stations to
see other men. and there is a catholic
and democratic indiscrimi ina ton in the
popular eagerness to behold with the
eye of sense those who are in the news
papers. The attraction may be prize
fighter or soldier. or a prince, or
jester, or an anarchist; but the presi-
dent is something different He is an
idea. He is the eidolon Of the govern
ment- The people go 10 see him not
only from curiosity, not only ito be
able to say that I've seen him. as the
phrase goes; there is also an element
of patriotism in their feeling for him;
they want TO pay him respect, writes
Henry Loomis Nelson, in The Ham
pered Executive in Century.
An absence of the critical spirit or
mood, usually so characteristic OF the
American attitude toward individuals,
is noticeable among the groups of peo-
pie who are waiting in the white house
in anticipation of seeing the president.
There is unmitigated, unqualified
pleasure from the anticipation. There
is absolute joy from the touch OF his
right hand, the common property OF
the nation. There is nearly always
awkwardness in their greeting OF him.
Proud as they may have been III the
thought of coming into actual person
al contact with the head of the gov
eminent, and proud as they will after
ward be of the honor of their visit,
many of the presidents callers shake
his hand in visible trepidation, and are
eager to pass on, dreading apparently
lest he speak in such a way as to re-
quire response. Even the pert, who
are determined to address him, are
clearly embarrassed, and rarely say
precisely what they intended. 10 the
mass of American citizens who are
represented in these visiting bodies
neighborhood excursionists, temper
ance. masonic. commercial travellers,
and other tlocks of citizenship-the Of
fee of president il impressive-still
the most impressive Of American in
situations.
The American may entirely disap-
prove of his president and his policy;
may even believe the lies that are told
concerning his personal habits; may
on the street. at his office. or i'll his
shop, or even at hime, deride him. and
express contempt for his political
opinions; may go so far as to look
upon him as an enemy of the country.
for the American partisan is extrava
CANT and even hyse erical; but when he
is in the presence of the president he
seems tongue cited, as if he were be-
fore what they cali in monarchies "our
| august ruler" Thus we catch a
glimpse of the true sentiment of the
private American citizen for the im-
personal president.

FORTUNES OF AN OLD BELL.

WashiH gtOn, ID. c.

Chimes from old Spain Will hence
forth call the workmen to and from
their tasks in Uncle Sans flower gar
den and propags ting ponds south of
the monument. says the Washington
Post. A bell cast two centuries ago
across the sea, which has rung out
the time of day and called the tievout

serve as the medium for informing the
gardeners and others the time to work
and the time to play. The old bell
bears unmistaka BILE history on its
bronze side. lettered in Spanish: San
tiago Lopez Anc del Senior de 1902
Mehyzo." - 4&y
This is about as far as early history
can be traced with certainty. The Off
Gals of this government first heard Of
the bell last November, when. under
orders from quartermaster headquar-
tiers, general cleaning-up was in prog
ress in the quartermasters warehouse,
New York. The officers in charge that
dav rolled dozens Of barrels filled with
straw out to be burned. One of the
barrels didn't respond very readily
when they tried to move it. and for
the first time the real contents of the
barrel were made known. Carefully
packed in this barrel of straw was
this old bell. It was taken out and a
report of the find made. This came to
Washington and here Col. Bingham,
superintendent Of public grounds and
buildings. heard of it.
No one appe airing to claim it and
the other officials seeming to consider
it a white elephant, Col. Bingham
found it comparatively easy to gain
possession of it,. 1t now is stored in
the property buildings near the mon
ument 1t has not been removed from
its barrel since it arrived in this city
from New York. and as the time of the
ent position and his succession by Col.
Symons is so near at hand, it is prob
able the bell will not be dedicated to
its intended service until after the
transfer. 1855
Santiago Lopez, the name evidently
/ of the maker inscribed on the bell,
was a famous old bellmaker of Gren-
ada. Spain. and his ancestors made bells
as far back as the sixteenth cent ury.
These Lopez bells are renowned for
their tone and quality and are to be
found in all parts of the world. This
particular bell is ~ feet in height and
weighs 1s5 pounds.
How it came to be in the straw bar
rel in the quartermaster's warehouse
in New York 10 one knows.

ONLY the weak need a tonic. People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes OF
weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh infames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous membrane
in the form of mucus. This discharge
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1903-06-13

of mucous is the same as the loss OF
blood. It produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why
Peruna is called tonic. Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the
nervous system little.
It gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage
1t gives strength by converting the
blood fluids and preventing their drain
ing away in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting. and blowing the
nose will finally produce extreme weak
ness from the loss of mucus.

LOVE DESCRIBED.

Judge Ryder in the Granite Enterprise
mus desrlbes his own love affair, saws the
Kansas City journal. AS early as last
spring, when the grasshoppers first began
TO hop and the humble bees first started on
the bum, when the bob white was whistlinz
up his mate and the spring poet was spring
ing his poetry, Judge Ryder, who had
hustled in this breathing world for "a long
summers, showed symptoms of a he-dove
nature. He had met the enemy of his bach
sslorhood and was her'n. A courtship was
begun, a result of which is now a part Of
Granite and Greer county history. Such
results have been the elimination Of such
beginnings ever since Eros seized mis- life
giving arrows and pierced the cold bosom
OF this old earth, and such will be the Gull
mInation of such beginnings, dear reader,
till the end of the chapter. The matrimonial
bond is the most sacred Of all human con-
tracts: 1t is dictated by nature, advo-
Gated by Cupid and smiled upon by Provi-
dence.. 1t removes the cloud on the title of
