How was it that medicines and

september 4.
IN Ormond Doty, native woods
man and guide, President Cool
idge has found a real pal. His
attachment for this gaunt
mountaineer is as interesting as
II Is strange. 1t developed shortly
after the Presidents first few fishing
expeditions, and it wasn't long before
real friendship had ripened.
Peculiarly enough, considering his
fondness now for Doty, the President
did not like him at first. The man
had been engaged to serve as 81 guide
for the President when he went
tramping over the mountain trails, or
fishing on the various lakes and
streams in this section. The PreSi-
dent somewhat resented the candid
manner in which Doty corrected his
casting and his other ways of
angling.
AS might be expected of one who
was not then a fisherman at heart,
and who had not done any fishing
since he was a youngster back in
those happy days at Plymouth Notch,
Vt, the President was amateurish
and crude with his rod and reel, and
Doty didn't hesitate to tell him SO,
at the same time endeavoring to
show him the right way.
The fact that his companion and
pupil on these early fishing trips was
the President of the United States
made no difference 10 this tall woods
man. He had been hired to guide
the President about, and he could
have let it go at that. but Doty took
1t upon himself to teach the Presi-
dent the art of angling; he wanted
him to know what was right and
what was wrong at the very begin
ming; he wanted the President to
derive all the thrills and pleasures
that come to q real devotee of this
outdoor sport, and he, therefore, set
about tutorins~snd coaching Presi-
dent Coolidge, instead Of merely be-
ing his guide.
OF course, Mr.. Coolidge should not
have expected to find q diplomat in
his mountain guide, or even one with
the finesse of speech such as is pos
sessed by Richard Jervis, his chief Of
secret service. but Doty, while very
slow and gentle in his speech,
selected very expressive words in
correcting his pupil He had a way
OF making the President feel Just ex-
ectly what he was---a dub fisherman.
He did not mind the Presidents dis
comforture, and continued right along
with his instruction. The President
frowned some. and did q little feeble
mumbling, but all of this meant
nothing to the guide.
AS might be expected of the Presi-
dent. he withheld his real feelings.
and before long he found himself inn
proving and commenced enjoying him
self all the more. He commenced, too.
asking Doty. questions about casting
and trolling and various other points
incident To angling. He found him
self listening in more appreciative
manner to the things this guide had
to say. Then soon developed this
strong attachment between the two
men--one. the President Of the United

anything about jefferson Davis. He
had no connection with me as TO
what was done at Andersonville. If
l knew anything about him, l would
not become traitor against him or

He likewise denied that he had ever

Baker. Thus ended the attempt to

Davis.

along a wooded bank of the lake to

another occasion he piloted the Presi-
