PRESIDENTIAL FUN.
Word-picture of Recent Event with Com
ment Thereon.

ment lnefeOn.
The President has the most fun when
he takes walk. He let's on it's a good
constitution-buil that he INDUCES for
this purpose-but that is all sham. He
always "ropes in'' other people to walk
with him. Like the little boy, he had the
"mostest fun" the other day, when he
got Secretary Garfield, assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon, and fifty-eight army
officers to take walk.
Out they went, into the fields, through
the woods, over the hills, across the
streams, putting and blowing, and squirt
ing to keep up, the President always lead
ing the way, and now and then looking
back, with joy covering his face and a
quiet chuckle in his heart, as he saw the
breathless, jaded crowd trying to keep
up and letting on they never were so
happy in their lives. Even Jimmy Gar
field seemed to enjoy it.
At one time they struck rocky cliff,
200 feet high and very steep, and up
that they struggled, and when they reach
ed the top, down they went through the
underground on the other side, rushing
through it like charge of bayonets, and
then encountered creek five feet deep,
into which they plunged and waded al
most to their chins, the President lead
ing the way and calling it "bully."
After spending an afternoon at such
chilled to the bone and every muscle
the President calls fun ooseveltian fun.

New State of Lincoln"

To THE EDITOR OF THE Boston GLOBE:
The prospective admission of New Mex
leo as State of the Union affords the
last opportunity for years, or perhaps
forever, of writing upon the roll of the
States the name of the only American
who has taken rank with Washington,
and at the same time of distinguishing
his anniversary, which we are about to
celebrate, by the most dignifed and i'm
pressive act of commemoration within
the power of the government or the peo-
pie. There are many reasons against
preserving in the nomenclature Of the
States the make-shift declaration of New
Mexico, of which not the least is that
the name is a standing reminder of
chapter of our history which every
American citizen who values the good
name of his country would be glad to
forget. If the occasion is availed of to
awaken public sentiment in favor of
bringing this territory into the Union in
the name of Lincoln, l should suppose
that the controlling authority, and prob
ably the people of New Mexico, would
respond to it.
