Hote, Beds Abroad.

The European bed always strikes the
uninitiated American traveller as a
huge joke. In France they commence
to impress him with their height and
narrowness, and he looks obviously
at the enormous Turkey red cotton
"couvre pied" of eiderdown, which
seems something like mountain, and
he wonders how he is ever going to
bear all that extra weight on his per-
son. But when he has slipped be-
tween the sheets and the grateful
warmth communicates itself to his
cold bones-if it Is winter they are
sure to be like icicles-he discovers
that it is deceptively light and delic-
iously comfortable.
In Switzerland the beds attain q
little more height, but 1T is in Ger
many that they become of such an
altitude as to necessitate a pair of
steps to mount them. One tourist,
finding that one leg of the stepladder
was broken, solved his difficulty by
going to the extreme end of the room,
taking a running start and landing
with flying leap in the midst of the
Turkey red eiderdown. He crawled in
under the crocheted counterpart and
was soon fast asleep. Some time in
the night he became sleepily aware of
a consuming thirst and started to get

Yielded to Edmunds.

Soon after Mr.. Cleveland entered
the White House in 1885 Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks died at his home in
Indianapolis, and the president made
arrangements to attend the funeral.
Many of his social intimates and all
his official advisers united in an effort
to dissuade him from making this
twenty hour journey, enlarging on the
manifold risks of rail travel at all
times and the special opportunity this
would offer some fanatic to assassin
ate him. But he remained immovable
until within a few hours of the time
set for closing up his business he re-
ceived an unexpected call from Sen
ator Edmunds of Vermont.
Mr. Edmunds was the leader of the
understood to have in preparation sew
eral measures of opposition to the
announced policies of the new admin
istration. But he was also and above
all else an American citizen and
patriot, and his visit to his political
foe was made in that character. In
a conversation of less than half an
hour, in which he drew the curtain
over all differences and disregarded
all empty formalities of intercourse,
he laid before the president in the
clear terms and logical order in which
self the larger aspects of the situa-
ton.
AS the presidential succession law
then stood the speaker of the house
of representatives stood next in line
to the vice president, and next to him
came the president pro tempore of the
senate. The house not having organ
lied since the Inauguration, no speak
er had been elected and, the senate
having failed at its special session to
choose a president pro tempore to
serve during the recess, only one life
that of the president himself
stood between the nation and admin
istrative anarchy; hence, argued Mr.
Edmunds, it was Mr.. Clevelands duty
to forego every other consideration
and invite no chances of throwing up
on the country they both loved a
strain such as it had never been sub
jected to before.
The writer of these lines was seated
in the next room while this visit was
in progress, and he will never forget
the presidents expression of satisfac-
ton on coming out of his Office after
the senator had gone. He gave orders
at once that all preparations for his
journey should be suspended and de-
clared that nothing that had occurred
since he entered the White House had
so touched him as the kind solicitude
shown by Mr.. Edmunds about his ex-
posing himself to any peril now. The
others who had reasoned with him on
the subject were men who were pre-
friendly and whose chief
anxiety seemed to be lest he should
suffer some injury to his individual
person or fortunes. But here was
nan who, as far as politics was con-
;erned, was a hostile of hostiles, yet |
who appealed to him in behalf of the |
American people and their govern
nent.
"rhat settled it," Mr.. Cleveland
concluded, as he turned to go back
o his Office. after what Edmunds
;aid there can be no further question

Too Many Boys and Girls Leave the
Farm Because They Can See Moth
ina but Hard Work and Drudgery
Ahead Of Them.-6y Making Farm
Life Pleasant They Will Remain.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct
19.-One of the most necessary, yet
most neglected and unappreciated
phases of farm life, according to Mrs.
Paul Clagstone, Idaho, who spoke be-
fore the International Congress of
Farm Women on "Recreation in the
Home and Community" is recreation
for the farmers family. Recreation" A."
she said, lis wrongfully considered a
luxury in many farm homes. A farm
woman's life should not be all drudg'
cry, and the boys and girls should be
given time for recreation. Too many
boys and girls leave home because
they see nothing but hard work ahead
of them for the rest of their lives,
while in the cities families of their
own financial standing have comforts
and amusements. The fact is that the
country can furnish even more pleas
ures than city life Affords" She ad-
vocated the expenditure Of a little
money for a pony for the children, a
few good magazines and farm papers
for the family, and phonograph to
bring them in touch with the best
music, or to liven the long winter
evenings A few good outdoor games
for the boys, flowers for the farmers
wife, and a revival of the old art Of
making visits were recommended as
aids to relaxation.
"The country church and the coun'
try school are perhaps the greatest
factors in the mental stimulus of the
farm life, with the Grange and the
Farmers Union a close second. Mrs.
Clagstone gave valuable suggestion,
the practicability of which has been
proven in her own locality. Five school
districts, too difficult of access for cen
tralization of schools, have engaged a
teacher in domestic science and one
in manual training, and each school is
given one day in the week for instruc-
ton and pays one-fifth of the salary.
This, Mrs. Clagstone affirms, will mean
much in the betterment of country
life and should be taken up through
out all country regions.
In conclusion she said: every one
who can have children, garden,
horse to use when one wants, running
water and other conveniences, will
have far to look for happier place
than the farm"
