this place he was born. 1t is an at
mosphere of beauty, but it is also an
atmosphere of work, and it is from
this that he drew that 10y of the
working which keeps him so steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as marvel among public
men. The surroundings of youth
We're calculated to make him lover
of nature, but his bent was for mathe-
mates and devotion to the exact sci
ences, though heredity should have re-
lieved this by an affection for out
doors. The splendor Of the Oneida
hills and the Oriskany valley was not
wholly lost upon him, however, even
amid the busy scenes of METROPOLIS
throbbing with varied activities and
the charm of capital where intellect
is supreme, and thus it was that in the
years of his greatest achievements he
returned to Clinton and purchased IN

"The Girardeau's hittin' good lick

Huh! Twelve miles an hour at the
best. And down stream at that. They
don't make boats to run these days"
A long train of freight cars crawled
noisily along the crest of the stone
levee. The man who had referred to
the steamer turned and looked fiercely
at the snorting locomotive.
What's the use?' he asked, indicat-
Ing the remorseless rival of the river.
None on earth" returned the other.
But in Its day the Robert e. Lee was
the swiftest thing that ever cut
through the daddy of waters Ali.
There was boat! Six high pressure
boilers, triple steel engines, tiller that
obeyed a whisper and PROV like an
eagle! Nothing that moved could throw
smoke on her deck!"
Two ancient mariners were standing
just outside the engine-room of the
Sidney street ferry Florence. The sub
ject was introduced by the passage of
the steamer Cape Glrardeau on her
southern trip. The first speaker was
Oliver G. Richey, head engineer of the

SECRETARY ROOFS HOME.

Attractive Mansion in the Quiet,
Cultured Village of Clinton.
The visitor to Clinton, N. Y, who
climbs the hill which leads to the far
famed Hamilton College, passes many
delightful homes. There are no great
mansions, no pretentious edifices
which bespeak large wealth, but the
residences are attractive in their arch
itecture. some Of them are spacious
and all have the outward appearance
of unusual comfort and culture with
in. Half hidden among trees and sur
rounded by closely trimmed lawns,
they suggest themselves us retreats of
poets and lovers of nature. Any one
Of a dozen Of them would excite envy
in one accustomed to good things.
These are the homes, for the most
part, of tutors in the college further
up the hill.
1t is amid such environment that
the home of Elihu Root, Secretary Of
State, is to be found. Hither he comes
when the strain of great burdens de-
mands bit Of relief and here, amid
the scenes of his boyhood. he is reju-
