Private Road Closed And
TELEPHONE Four Miles
Away

Lancaster, n H., Aug. 3.--President
Harding found to-day the seclusion
| and easement from the cares of Office
for which he has expressed desire
so often since he became chief execu-
tive. As a guest of Secretary Weeks
at his country home on the summit
of Mount Prospect, the president and
Mrs. Harding, with party of friends,
began with day of rest, vacation
which is to last until the end of the
week at least. A closed private road
is the only approach to their retreat
and a telephone four miles away at
the foot of the mountain is the near
est connection with the outside
world.
1t is expected that about their only
trips outside the Weeks estate dur
ing their stay here will be to nearby
golf courses and for short motor rides
in the White mountains. The president
expected TO give attention only to
such public business as will not permit
of delay,
The president and Mrs. Harding
reached the Weeks lodge last night by
motor from Portland, Me, where they
had left the yacht Mayfower, after a
cruise from Washington. They prob
ably will return to the capital by the

CARUS0 HONOR
Thousands Gather in Ma

Mass
SILENTLY PASS
BEFORE BODY
Body Clad in Evening
Clothes Was Bordered
With Flowers

Naples, Aug. tBy the Associated
Press Sorrowing Naples and Ital,
to-day paid tribute to the memory Of
Enrico Caruso, the great tenor, who
died here early yesterday morning
Thousands gathered at a solemn re.
QUEEN mass celebrated at the Church
of Madonna della Gracia, or stood I'M
covered along the streets leading to
that edifice while the funeral cortege
passed. In the choir which assisted
in the impressive ceremonies were
many men and women who have
played stellar roles on the operate
stage.
Scenes of extreme pathos were en-
acted all day yesterday at the Hotel
Vesuvius, following the death of the
man popularity acknowledged to be the
premier tenor of his generation. Nea.
politans of every class stood in line
for many hours to file past the bier
of Caruso, which was placed in the
room where he had died. From time
to time the silent procession would
pause while some man or woman
would kneel for moment beside the
body and offer prayer.
The body was clad in evening clothes
and over it was shed the mellow light
of four candles, two at the head and
two at the feet At the dead tenor's
side were garlands of roses arranged
personally by Mrs. Caruso
The master singer, who had for
nearly quarter of a century enacted
roles in which death was an unseen
player, apparently was cognizant of
his critical condition, following his
sudden illness on Monday Just before
he sank into the coma which was the
prelude to the end, he said to his son,
Il feel very i'll. This time il will be
difficult to escape"
Newspapers of this city, in telling of |
he death of Caruso, quote one of the
attending physicians as saying:
II and my colleagues believe Caruso |
'ully recovered from his illness in New
York last winter. His long sickness
rom pleurisy weakened his resist
.nee."

THE AMERICAN CHILE

W, L. George, in Harper's Magazine.
 The American child is to me greater puzzle than the American adult. l cannot see how the emotional American. dominated by normal im- pulses, develops out Of the shrewd and hard American child. It Is almost inhuman. It hates to be fondled it seldom kisses an adult; it wholly dif- fers from the emotional. enthusiastic English child, which hurls itself upon the people it likes and inflicts upon them sticky embraces. It does not give itself it knows what it wants and takes it with strange brutality. If this applied only to the female chii- dren, l could understand it. for some thing of this survives in the Ameri- can girl. before marriage and mis- fortune have turned her into hu- man being; but the male American child shows only the hardness of the and tenderness which make him so at tractive. This may come from the close contact between the American child and it's parents; It lives with them, is of them; it is treated seri- ously; therefore it does not look upon the adult as god. Notably, in the well-to-do classes. there is no children's hour, say half past five, when the anxious prisoners of the nursery are allowed, trembling with excitement and with awe, to enter the holy presence of the grown-ups It is no fun being an American child; one grows up without idols. and one must make some for oneself, since mankind at all ages lives only by error.

TREASON.

From Hindu Stories in American Negro Folklore" by W. Norman | Brown, in Asia Magazine. The lion cub was taught by his mother the humiliating lesson that. | in spite of his greater strength, he must never venture an encounter with a man.s But when he grew old CT, in his conceit, he fancied that he could neglect his mothers lesson, and he set out to find man. First he came upon an OK.
 l Are you a man?" he asked. l God forbid" answered the OK. "A man is a terrible creature. He makes i slaves of us oxen, fastens us to blows, which we have to pull until we are tired to death. When we are old and can work no more. he <ills us and eats our flesh, and our skin he makes into shoes for his own feet Keep clear of men!" the OK 1nded solemnly.
 l Impressed but unconvinced, the I lion continued his way until he saw camel, big, long legged, strong. Are you man?" he questioned. l q a man?" snorted the camel. Why, I am slave to man. They catch us, these men, pierce our 'ioses' put rings in them. tie ropes to the rings. and lead us wherever they will. And on our backs they put great loads, which we must carry. Don't say man to mel | Still undiscouraged. the lion went 1 on and soon met an elephants mountain in size. with huge tusks-- tied to a stake.
 Good morning. my lord" he said. Are you a man?"
 "Hooroo!' trumpeted the elephant. "A man? No. But man is my mas ter. and he has tied me to this post.

 monkey
 My friend" said the lion, "can you tell me where I can find a man?'
 T am man" was the reply.
 The lion was incredulous. Why,
 exclaimed. T am .auch stronger
 than you"
 'Oh, no. you are not," answered
 the man, for I have power that ! you lack the power v- reason What is reason??" asked the ilon-

 man.
 Now the man was woodcutter, : and he had his ax on his shoulder. With few blows, he split a stout ! sapling. and then made wedge and drove it into the cleft. , Just put your paw in that crack , he said to the lion Ohediently, the lion did so. and the man knocked out the wedge. There ! he said, when he saw that the lion was safely caught. ''thas is reason , But the lion could not free himself and at last died there.
