Discomfort.

The mail is fun of letters
And the soup is full of peas,
There's sugar In the coffee
And the yard is full OF trees:
The fields are full of stubble
And there's grass upon the ground
But the world is full Of trouble
IL we only look around.
The corn is frll Of kernels.
There are lilies In the brooks:
The towns are full of people.
There are stories in the books;
The orchards fnil of apples
And the meadows fun of hay
But what troubles we discover
If were only built that way.
The lilac's fun of blossoms
And the trees are full of leaves
The meadows full of clover
And the fields are full of shcaves;
The bread is full of -four
And the rain is damp and wet
But how much there is to fret US
II We really want to fret.
The bccs are full of honey
And the apples full of juice.
The banks are frll of money
But-be happy? What's the use?
The beach is ful of pebll :.
There Is water in the creek

DOG HERDS WITH DEER.

While They Feed in West Orange Pas
lures He Keeps Sharp Lookout.
Two deer, fawn and a yellow dog
form a strange quartette that are visit.
ing the Blue Ridge farm, in West Or
ange, n. Y. DIR. T. Earle Budd of Or
ange, who owns the farm, learned of
the visitors and attempted to capture
them, but the animals fed at his ap-
proach.
The yellow dog seems to be the most
important factor in the group. and but
for his alertness the trio might have.
been captured long ago. The deer seem
to depend on the dog for protection.
Ever on the alert for the approach of
would-be captor, the dogs keen scent
detects danger at a great distance when
a single bark attracts the attention OF
the deer, and if this is followed by a
long, low growl there is hasty retreat
to the woods.

wing of the wife Of this wealthy Ameri.
can. This connection, it is presumed.
will give the McLeans quite social
footing in the diplomatic corps, the goal
to which all social ambitions in the fash.
ionable set in Washington tend.
The McLeans came into considerable
prominence in Washington when Ad-
miral Dewey returned from his achieve
ments in the orient to marry Mrs. Hazen,
a sister of John r. Mclean. This mar
riage with the most brilliant naval hero
OF modern times of course gave wide
reputation to the family. Mrs. Dewey
is an exceedingly brilliant woman, of
extraordinary intellectual gifts and she
and her sailor husband have taken q
high place in the social circles at the
capital. 1t is one of the gossipy stories
OF society here that the hand of Mrs.
Dewey was sought by an army officer as
well as by Admiral Dewey, then but .
commodore. This army officer was none
other than Maj. Gen. Corbin, then ad-
jutant general. Dewey's performance
at Manila settled the matter, and Mrs.
Hazen became Mrs. Admiral Dewey.

Mclean now controls the Post, which
was made journal of national repute
by the late Frank Hatton, whose poll
cies were continued unchanged and
brought to high degree of success by
Mr.. Scott G. Bone, who become editor
in-chief as well as manager of the paper
after Hatton's death. The property was
owned by Beriah Wilkins, a former Ohio
congressman and partner of Hatton, but
Mr.. Bone was the controlling force in
making the Post one Of the most widely
quoted and influential journals in the
country. Public men of all degrees
sought the commendation of this news
paper.
Mr.. Mclean, during Wilkins lifetime,
acquired small interest in the Post,
and recently was able to purchase half
interest from Wilkins heirs, SO that
with what he held before, he now con-
trolls the paper. He is one of the wealth
lest men in Washington, having inher-
tied the Cincinnati newspaper prop
erty from his father, which in itself is
mint, and virtually owning the Wash
ington Gas company, which enjoys mo-
nopoly of the gas lighting in this city.
These two magnificent properties give
him more money than he knows what to
do with, so people are wondering what
he wants with the Washington Post.
They are inclined to believe that he has
taken it as a new toy, and in his old age
will have it to amuse himself with. 9th
ers are uncharitable enough to believe
that he wants personal organ in the ma
tional capital with which to further 4
great political ambition he is known
to entertain at times.
Mr.. Mclean has dismissed the sue
cessful editor, Mr.. Bone, and has as
sumed personal direction of his news
paper property. He says he proposes to
show the young fellows that he is still
a newspaper man, and he stays in the
Office as late as IL and one
o'clock each night, looking over proofs
and directing the makeup of the sheet.

pretty figure, however, but the persis-
tent criticism Of the president accept
ing favors from railroads while at the
same time seeking to have congress pro-
vide stricter regulations for these or.
ganizations, compelled the president to
end all discussion by bearing his own
travelling expenses. The trip of the pres.
ident will be a big money making prop
osition for all the railroads handling
his train. Every town that he visits will
be crowded with tourists from points
hundreds of miles around, and this
means big business for the railroads.
It was on this theory that railroads have
carried presidents free in the past, al
they calculated to make many times
over the expenses Of the presidential
train from the additional passenger
traffic the tour would attract.
1t is probable that at the coming ses.
sion of congress some provision will be
made by which the travelling expenses
of the president of the United States can
be met. 1t is recognized as an imposi.
ton to have the chief executive spend
thousands of dollars to visit various Sec
tions Of the country when In most in.
stances his travels are in the interest Of
the whole people. It is admitted that the
tours of presidents through the country
have all been conducive to general good.
They become acquainted with all sec.
tions and with all classes Of citizens, and
are better equipped to discharge the du.
ties of their Office by reason of the
knowledge and Information they gain
on these tours.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
a certain sum to be at the disposal OF the
president for travelling expenses which.
If not used, shall be covered into the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year.
These trips are not junkets in the com.
mon acceptance of that term, but are for
the purpose Of studying conditions and
meeting people in every part of the 70.
public. It is contended by many that
congress could not make a wiser ex-
penditure of money than by appropriate
ing funds to carry every member Of the
house and senate into every state OF the
union and compelling them to familiar
ize themselves with conditions every.
where in the United States.
