on sightseeing should, when they came
to the White House, not be allowed to
enter at the main entrance, but only
through the basement. AS one of the
kitchen cabinet said, the basement was
good enough for the common people
any way.
Congress was ordered to make the
necessary appropriation and did ap-
propriate about half million dollars
for the improvements A trust archi-
tect named McKim was employed I'M
der the direction of the President for
Congress had authorized Mr.. Roosevelt
to personally eXpend the money, and
the work began and was rushed to
completion. All the grand old rooms
were Quilted, the historical pictures of
the early Presidents We're too old fash
toned and We're releg&ted to the base
ment and portraits of the Roosevelt
family were installed in their place.
Washington, the father of his country,
was turned to the wall for time, and
Adams, Jefferson. Monroe and Jack
son did not any more look down from
their historic places.
The Daughters Of the American Rev
olution protested at this dissertation,
and public opinion, urged on by their
patriotic ardor, forced President Roose-
welt to order some of the portraits re-
placed in the state rooms but to this
day most of them remain in the base
ment.
SO much was said about the matter
that many speeches were made in Con
gress about the extraordinary waste
of the public money and the lack OF
regard by the President for the p0r
traits of the Revolutionary fathers.
The dislike of President Roosevelt for
the early Presidents was shown up by
Hon. Malcomb Patterson in speech
delivered at the last session Of Con
gress. in which he quotes from the
Life of Thomas II. Benton and other
works of President Roosevelt. Prob
ably the opinion there expressed by
the President led him to order those
portraits banished to the lower regions
of the White House.

ton is getting to be more and more
an accepted institution. He manages
to get longer periods of complete rest
and recreation, and he contriyes, more
over, to seize upon any number Of half
holidays and Over-Sunday outings. eS-
pecially in the warmer months. When
he can control his time he gives great
CT portions of it than ever before to
horseback exercise and to golf and
kindred sports. The business mans
family, instead Of being satisfied, as
of old, with q few weeks in a crowded
hotel by the sea or in the mountains,
spend the whole summer in the colm-
try, as boarders in hotel or farm
house, or as jewellers in a country
place of their own, modest or sumptu-
Gus in accordance with their means
and taste.
The city mans modern discovery Of
the country and his increasing use Of
it in the summer months has been
subject Of comment now these many
years. There has been discussions of
its effect upon the city people them
selves, and upon the country people
into whose communities they enter;
of its effect upon manners and morals;
of it's economic bearings and its rela-
ton to the abandoned farm problem,
and of the influence upon the nation
Of the great mingling Of people from
various parts of the country.
With all this search for recreation
and health, what with Westerrers
going East and Fasteners 60
ing West, with Northerners go
ing South and Southerners 90
ing North, summer and winter:
with all this search for the opportunity
to fish and shoot, or to enjoy social
pleasures; with all this interchange Of
national advantages for any and every
climate can be found in the United

The Old Home Hand.

IT'S Old Home Week in Hebron, Ned
where they keep open doors,
4 mining camp my prison here, West
ern city yours.
Ger stream and mead they homaward
speed, tho we our steps must
stay;
And 1 sit thinking here of you, and keep,
ing holiday.
From west and north and south they
come, one magnet for them all;
Whereer the scattered children are they
hear the mother call.
New England by the seaside Or New
England on the hills,
They wander wide, yet with her pride
their bosom fondly thrills.
Mind you the brook, the valley, the
school house where they'll meet;
The woods, the pond, the pasture hill, the
staid old village street.
The West is big and lonesome, and we
are too far away
From the dear host, those we love most,
who gather there to-day.
That aged figure. bent and gray, whom L
in fancy see,
Reviewing old familiar scenes, once part
of you and me;
He would remember us, the boys whose
ways he tried to mend.
The Master then we named him, we
should call him now the friend.
The lads we played and hunted with, the
girls. too. will be there,
\ spell laid on their spirit and Il sur
cease given to care;
While strange will be the light they see,
the deepened lines they trace,
Reminders Of the feeting years, in many
a dear old face.
The West is big and lonesome, Ned; the
fortunes which we seek
Look poor and cold beside the gold they'll
quarry in Home Week.
I hear the voices calling and the friendly
eyes l see,
The old home hand across the land
reached out to you and mo.

MY stars" one of them exclaimed.
I'D like to go along just to see the
little chap enjoy it,
$50 should T. said the other. I'D
rather be horsewhipped than go to the
circus with grown folks, but it's Cir
Gus in itself to watch boy at such
a show"
So it came about that three men and
three women sat down at FuddleStOn' 5
table that evening for an early dinner.
When it was nearly time to go Mr..
Fuddleston asked his wife if she mad
told Harold.
NO; l thought it would be best to
give him a surprise" she answered.
Just then one of the partners look
ed out Of the window. "Why, it's
rainingv' he said.
This was serious. Aunt Jane at
once grew concerned over the risk OF
taking Harold out in the night air
when it was raining.
What do you think. my dear?" the
fond father asked Of his wife.
why, of course, if it is going to
be a rainy evening it would never do
to take him.
Then the other partner peered
through the window and said it looked
pretty bad; not mere shower, he
thought, but the beginning of storm.
81 shouldn't take any risk, julia
co i'll tho other sister
ITS lucky you didn't tell Harold!''
said the junior partner.

ston.

Mrs FuddleSton.
WELL" said Fuddleston, decidedly,
I'VE won't take any chances. Besides,
my ticket is for a box, which only
seats six people.
So little Harold was left at home,
and six adults, instead of two, sacri-
feed their entire evening that he might
not run the risk Of getting wet ard
catching a cold.

ALL FOR HAROLD.

Mr.. and Mrs. FuGdleston try not to
spoil Harold, but they are willing to
sacrifice their own pleasure at any
time to give him treat that he will
remember when he grows up" They
planned a treat lately, but, as the
story is told in the Brooklyn Eagle, the
outing will never figure in Harold's
"reminiscences Of his happy childhood.
The circus was in town, and Mrs.
Fuddleston said they ought to take
Harold; a child thought SO much of
such things, and he was old enough
now to appreciate it.
Mr.. Fuddleston agreed 81 will try
to take him tonight" he said, resign
eddy.
Il shouldn't think Of letting you go
alone with him. exclaimed Mrs. Fud-
dleston. THAT is asking too much of
you, dearest l will go along to re-
lieve you Of some Of the care. l
shouldn't ask you to go at all, but it
is hardly the thing for me to go with
out you"
Certainly not said Mr.. Puddle
ston, chivalrously. But the little chap
mustn't be deprived Of the pleasure,
even if it is rather Of a bore to u.s."
In the afternoon Mrs. Fuddleston's
two sisters dropped in, and Mrs. Fud-
dlestone told them, with a sigh, that
they were going to the circus thai
evening on Harold's account.
"Oh, my DEAR said Sister Jane.
'Of course he will enjoy it, but he
will be q dreadful care to you and
Jack. I know you will have head
ache tomorrow to pay for it. I think
/ shall just go along to relieve you.

Mrs Fuddleston looked at her with

Harold miss a single thing"
At his office that day Mr.. Puddle.

partners about the treat he was going
to give to his little boy.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
MY little boy fifteen months old
had pneumonia, then came brain fever,
and no sooner had he got over these
than he began to cut teeth and, being
SO weak, he was frequently thrown
into commissions" says Colorado
mother.
Il decided change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when 1 reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although 1
had never used the food, We got some,
and for few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He gOt
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself, and in
wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, 1 raised her on Grape-Nuts. and
sic is a strong. healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph 1 send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food
Grape Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray ill
ing in the nerve centers and brain. A
well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

little book. THE Road to Wellville."
