: w second President with mus
tache. Cleveland was the first.
Whatever the Presidency Of this country
has done for the incumbents, it has not
been productive of boards.
The first four chief executives were as
clean shaver as Benedictine friars. ]. @.
Adams was the first to break the rule,
but he was not a full-bearded President.
His facial growthsof hair hardly came up
to what are usually termed sidewhiskers,
but they were trife more expansive
than the Scotch Presbyterian type.
When he retired the beardless Presi-
dent came in again with Jackson, but his
successor Van Buren,, brought to the
White House almost an exact pattern Of
the whiskers grown by j., G. Adams.
William Henry Harrison again set the
beard1ess face. The seven who came af-
ter were clean shaver.
When Mr.. Lincoln was elected there
was not a hair on his face, but before
he finished his first term he wore
sparse beard. with clean shaven upper
lip. One of the authenticated stories is
that he did this to please child.
Grant was the first President with a
full short beard. His immediate sue
cessor. Hayes, was the first to wear 1uii'

Mines on the seaboard Air Line.

IT see it enormously stated in an after
noon paper that at present there Is only
one coal mine on the seaboard Air Line
railway. and that one is a small one in
the carolinasn said w. T. Brown, the
energetic and successful president OF the
Ragland Coal company in st. Clair coun-
ty.
Besides our own mines there are the
mines at Coal City, and others nearly
all on the Seaboard and all actively oper-
ated."
Mr. Brown spent yesterday and last
night in this city on his return from the
st. Louis exposition. He was accompa-

long whiskers, covering his shirt front.
Garfield also wore a full beard but it
was less luxuriant than that of Hayes.
Arthur, who was the most correct
dresser of all the Presidents, was the
first in the list to grow the Burnside type
of whiskers.
Benjamin Harrfson's beard was full,
with a slight tendency to curl at tho
end, and was tinged with gray.
After Cleveland the clean shaver face
returned with Mckinley. The mustache
came in for the second time when Roose-
welt succeeded.
Most of the Presidents were bounti-
fully supplied with hair on top of their
heads. The two Adamses were the first
to show a slight tendency to badness.
Van Buren, was bald on the forehead.
Garfield was similarly marked.
Polk was the first and only President
who wore his hair in the ante-bellum
southern style. 1t was long and reached
back from the front over his ears. Blu
ehanan was the first and only one, so
far, to wear the top roach.
Cleveland in returning to his second adj
ministration showed a tendency to bald
ness. Mckinley was not noticeably
blessed with a heavy growth.
But no baldheaded man, as the term
is understood, has yet been President of
the United States.

A writer in the Atchison Globe has re-
vealed the acumen of true philosopher
by the observation that few men really
understand poker, but all of them pre-
tend to know the game and laugh heart
lily at poker joke at the theatre. 1t Is
really surprising how few men who are
sufficiently worldly in most things can
tplay a game of poker well enough to
make it safe for them to try a game with
strangers The men who really know
poker these days are the men who make
q living out of 1t, and the number of good
poker players who play solely for amuse-
ment is decreasing every day. This is
merely another result Of the strenuous
life. Forty years ago poker was staple
amusement. Today no one has time to
play unless 1t means meat and bread.
The rapid increase of wealth In the coun-
try, the introduction of more exciting
amusements and the general rush of what
Is called "high life have made gen
tlemanly poker games rarity. The old
picturesque poker days have passed. The
present generation has so many pursuits
to occupy its attention that poker has be-
come a mere item-expensive sometimes
for the unwary-but still an item, and far
from being the absorbing passion of the
olden times. The modern methods for
gambling make poker look like "Au-

patter of rain on tin roof. when all the
world is quiet without and drowsy eyes
prevail within, is potent spell. Unhappy
indeed is the lot of the man who cannot
drift away in slumber to the muffled roar
Of rain drops on a tin roof But even when
there is no tin roof slate or shingles will
do almost as well. There is a drowsy at
mosphere that comes with rain and pulls
down the willing eyelids almost before one
is aware of its presence. But there are
other conditions equally conducive to
slumber Many people contend that the
roar of an express train, the gentle sway
ing Of a Pullman and the ceaseless. click
of wheels passing over the rails is sleep
compelling This has been found to be
true by many travellers, but If the berths
were more comfortable the dreams there
INDUCED in would be sweeter. The hum
of machinery has also lu1led many tired
mortals to rest, and the rush of distant
waterfall or the nearer murmur of
stream has its somnolent influence.
But to revel in sleep fit for the gods to
enjoy, to drink deep of the delicious
draught rendered by Morpheus and to
taste to the full the delights of natures
greatest boon to man. one should try
sleeping on a steamboat. Nothing so
quickly lulls one to sleep as the lazy
cough of the engines. the swishing Of the
river beneath the windows of your state
room, and the deep silence that hovers
over the stream. At night a river is the
quietest place in the world, and much of
the stiffness seems to possess the boat
When the roustabouts are sprawling
about on the freight and the boat plows
steadily up the river with no stops to
make one drops to sleep instantly, and SO
deep are his slumbers that he wakes up
feeling that he has just emerged from
fathomless abyss but nevertheless an
abyss that holds a delightful prospect.

Portable place in the world to sleep, but
1t is much superior to a Pullman berth,
and on a river vessel there is also the
glad assurance that there will be no sea-
sickness to- make life a misery. And the
somnoleney of river travel is not connned
to the night, by any means. One is very
apt to catch himself doing in the day.
