Corners in New Hampshire from three Il

rs favorite picture shows him, al
Glimpsewood. his summer home. If they

of Renaissance they might enjoy of

the sea at the Isles of Shoals: of Thomas
Bailey Aldrich, a bad boy" at Ports

Hitchcock's Mansion.
Not far away they could see the mag
nificent colonial mansion which is the
summer home Of the Hon. Ethan A.
Hitchcock, of st Louis. Secretary of
the Interior. In the Cabinet of President
Roosevelt. This tSey could compare. by
journeying 10 Lake Sunapee, with The
Falls. the beautiful villa of the Hon.
John Hay, of Cleveland. Ohio, Secretary
of State. Passing to another and
greater lake. Winnipiesogee. they could
see. from The Weirs, the emerald CLEAN
of Goverro r's Island and would have
pointed out to them the mansion of the
Hon. Stilson Hutchils, of washington.
d. c., now disting dished by it's choice
as the summer eml y of the German
empire, the holiday home Of Count Won
Sternburg and his legation. II they
felt impelled to seek further acquaint-
anceship with Statesmen in negligee
they could go far to the north and dis
cover, almost on the Canada line, the
comfortable farmhouse of Senator John
c. Spooner of Wisconsin. Other SEN
ators could not long elude their search,
and Representatives would be plentiful.
Retracing their steps. and turning
from the study of men to the study Of
nature. they would find at FRANCESCA
the haunts of William c. Prime Brad
ford Terrey and Mrs. Slosson, with
John Kendrick Bangs as a stimulant in
the heart Of the Notch. Down at
Campton admiration would be express
ed for the beautiful home Of F. Schuy-
Ter Matthews. and crossing into the
shadow of Chocurua the whole region
would be dedicated to the memory Of
Frank Bolles and Horace E. Seudder
Other Notables.
In this same neighborhood dwe1s

Many a little church in the New
Hampshire hack country is filIsa on
summer Sundays with the elOquence
of famous clergymen- In one town a
natural pulpit Is located on the great
estate of Methodist divine. and there
on pleasant Sabbath days people assem-
BILE for twenty miles around to wOr-
ship with him.
Bench and bar and the business world
are equally well represented among our
summer folk. There are judges fit tC
decide the greatest causes; lawyers to
argue them. and millionaires to pay
the fees.
In short, those who come to New
Hampshire I'm the summer time have
no reason 20 be dissatisfied with the
old adage, which says: "A man is
known by the company he keeps"
