HOUSE LIKE A LODGE
AND BODY GUARD OF TEN

The Presidents house in Dom PauUs
time looked very much like a shooting
lodge. 1t was screened from the street
by large shade trees and a hedge. out
side Of which was a low wooden fence
perhaps three feet high All the rooms
were on one floor. surrounded on all
SIDES by veranda- From the street
the house had rustic appearance.
There in a small room on the left Of
the central hall the President sat from
early morning until O'Clock smoking
his pipe and ready to see anyone who
could give pasSable excuse for seekius,
him. Six mounted guards, armed with
rifles, accompanied the President when
ever he went abroad. Two sentries
stood at the gateway of his house and
I two paced before the door and windows
! OF his chamber at the state house when
ne was there The guard was not for
display. and why his personal safety
was thought to require il would be hard
to say.

STRONGER THAN A BUFFALO;
MORE FLEET THAN A HORSE

Al seven years OF age Paul Kruger
was shootins big game; at eleven he
killed his FIRST lion; when thirteen years
old he was fighting with his father
against The blacks. and at seventeen he
held his first public Office as magistrate.
The tales told of Nruger's youth are
well-nish past belief. He himself
Vouches for las ability when boy to
stand on his head ON the back of a
gallopng horse, and the stories of his
skill with firearms and his strength are
on "a par with his feats of horse manship
Anyone who had seen Kruger, how
ever. could believe him capable of al
most any feat of strength. Tie stood six
feet high. weighed 225 pounds. and his
depth of chest and breadth of shoulder
were those of colossus He had the rude
brute strength of AN OK, and al yarn
current and universally believed In the
TransvaaI has Il that he once killed a
wild buifalo by holding its head in q
pool OF water until The beast was
sIranSled. This was years ago. but the
story is told IN Pretoria today.

HE DID NOT co FOR DOG, BUT
FOR MAN WHO SICKED DOG

Paul Kruger was an ignorant man so
far as our idea of education goes In
his youth general education was limited
to reading and writing. and by no means
majority of the Boer pioneers thought
these accomplishments necessary But
if he was without education he was not
without cleverness and wit
Among his people his ayings pa

wisdom, and not a few of them are
worth the high estimate placed upon
them

qualms as to cost and embellished
with all the artistic adornments that
architecture can supply. Looking
farther. the guest may behold the
graceful towers and the stately domes
Of the most wonderful city on earth
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
In short, the guest at the Inside
Inn will be practically a summer re-
sorter, away from the din and Glamour
and dust and heat Of the busy city,
and yet near enough to the Worlds
Fair glories to behold some of them
from his window and to reach any of
them in a few minutes. If perchance
he shall become a-weary of the
wonderous wealth of things to see
and hear, for the time being, he may
HE him back to the Inside Inn, where
in his own apartments or in the cosy
lounging-rooms or parlors of the Inn
he may enjoy delightful rest, fitting
him for return to the heart of the
Worlds Fair, refreshed and revivified.
The guests at the Inside Inn will be
the only visitors who can see the
Worlds Fair from their own front
door. so to speak; for at the Inn they
will be at home, and while viewing
any part of the great Exposition they
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that short walk or bIief ride on
the Intramural cars will take them
home without going outside the
grounds.
