! Grover Cleveland. says the New
York Times, regards the outdoor life
as of the greatest importance in the
! life of the American people. Accord
ing to his friends he has on several
occasions recently referred to the need
on the part of every citizen of adopt
ing the simpler ideas which go with
living in rural communities and such
recreation which may be found with
rod and gun
As he advances in years, Mr.. Cleve-
land becomes more and more an advo-
cate of the gospel of out of doors. He
goes forth on hunting and fishing
trips, and to these sports and recrea-
tions he owes much of his vigorous
health.
On account of the statesman's views
on such subjects, his friend, DR.. John
H. Finley, president of the College Of
the City Of New York, has suggested
that March Is be kept as a national
holiday as out of doors day and in
honor of the birth of Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland, without referring in
any way to the part of the proposal
which concerns himself personally, Is
heartily in favor of an annual holiday
which would call the attention OF
Americans to- the need of seeking ex-
ercise under the open sky as an anti
dote for the tense and nervous life
which many of them live in cities.
He fears that many of the old time
ideals and simple tastes of the people
will be overpowered by the influnces
which come from the great centers of
population. He deplores the tendency
of the sons of farmers leaving the
healthful outdoor life and forsaking
the acres where their ancestors have
lived in a sturdy independence, to seek
employment in the work
shops and factories.
Although he makes allowance for
the personal equation in the matter OF
outdoor exercise, Mr. Cleveland
thinks every American ought to turn
aside occasionally from his pursuit
Of wealth in order to find recreation
for mind and body in wholesome sport.
His friends often speak of his be-
lief that by merely walking in the
woods or by wandering along the mar
gin of lake or river or by following
he sport of old Isaak Walton one may
earn lessons which will have an i'm
,ortant influence on his character.
Mr.. Cleveland belives the man who
ives close to the soil will form his
of right accurately and
'e self-reliant and persistent in up
olding them

When Mark Twain wrote "Puddn-

Globe-Democrat. it is doubtful If he
realized into what general vogue this
novel form of identification would
come, and that its commercial value
and utility would be incaueulable. For
a number of years thumb prints have
been adopted as a means of identi.
flying criminals, but it remained for
the First NatioGl Bank of Cheyenne,
Wyo., to adopt this method for the
Identification of customers. The bank
has large number of Japs, Greeks
and other foreigners as patrons, these
being employed in the railroad SER
vice. But few of these can write the
English language, and some not even
their own. AS a result, each depositor
is required to make an impression of
his thumb, which is filed away for
record, taking the place Of the Gus
tomary signature.
