was that he wa not only as nico as

tion left behind. By and by, Dave
Cronk came around, and the Presi
dent said :
"Dave I guess we'll, have a whack
at those fellows.' -
.That meant . fh'at , the ' President
wanted to go fishing. So Dave ran
down to the boat-house, ' pulled out
his Jong yellow 'boat, and steadied
it while the President erept down to
thQ stern and leaned , back. at, his,
ease. .The guide ; was .big, being
about the biggest N guide in the

something gave a jerk ; the President
gave an answering jerk, and the vic
tim was hooked.' 1
By and by the fish stopped biting,
and Mr. Cleveland came back to the
hotel and got his lunch, while Dave
worked; pvei. the. water-tight. box
which the President had almost fill
ed with fiah. There were catfish and
big suckers, with round ugly mouths,
and delicate trout that seemed thor-:
oughly disgusted with the company
they were in. Dave gavHdrs-eaifish
to whoever wanted them and threw
the ' suckers back-into: the water.
The trout were dressed and carried
in triumph to the hotel . to arouse
the enthusiasm of the women an
the envy of the other, fishers, who
gave it as their opinion that some
men were bom with all "the luck,
athjit 'a jpan might, besatisfied
with the office of, President,.without
wanting id catch all the .trout in the
lake besides? Mr, , Cleveland's luck
as a fisher has been so great that he
must belittle his own exploits in tellr
ing-cfish stories, lor his friends will

coming from tiie hands of a great
man, and waited for Mr. Cleveland
to come , back and distribute them.
That was the ordeal through which
he was to pass. All the young la

nearest his right hand, remembering
how,:in a photographer's shop,
man who wants to be composed se
lects one spot to gaze on. But that
young lady was tall, with a 5 lovely
gray dress, arid a bewildering assort
ment, of sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks
and golden hair. That was plainly
hot a point-to fasten on to if a man
wanted to be composed, so the Pres-
dent stopped, and started to fix his
eye on the next -young lady. ; She
was short, 'with brown hair, but her
cheeks were even rosier , than the
first young lady's, and her eyes were
just as sparkling; ;Thats.pot a
sight to compose a President's mind
either, and the third young lady was-
jusi as:oewuaenng as ine ptner lyr o.
it . was, a dilemma, out ot; which
Mr. Cleveland crawled with admira-t
ble ci'evernass. ' He .cast idowri ' his
eyes, and made hia little speech
without once looking up.' .
. He. told the young ladies: that
they ought to be proud, . Some
men-objected to having young ladies
learn to row, because it has a ten
dency to make them too muscular.
But - those men were wrong, and
they deserved all they got. He
didn't agree with them at all.
; "What we "want," -he said
is
strong women, who xan look after
their own rights. , Plent' of rowing
matches will make them. : As to this
cowardly feaf T of ' flat-irons .' and
broomsticks, it is altogether despica
ble. In my present happy, condition
I have no sympathy for those hus
bands, no matter how much .they
may.be walloped.". ; ; ;
This allusion to his happy bache
lorhood made every one laugh, and
the 'President stopped to give them
time. s But he smiled ; it was work;

The boarders smiled at this stringbf

up his speech very swiftly and disL

Thomas Jefferson's Young Friend.
One day when Thomas Jefferson
was riding through Virginia ' on his
way from Washington to Monticel-
lo, he came up on a boy trudging
along witli his clothes in a satchel,
which hung on a stick from his
shoulder. He was motioned to get
in, and in a moment he was sitting
by the side of the president,; who
opened the conversation by asking
him who he was and where ha was
- -
ing. He replied that his name
was Morgan, and thatjia was going
home from school, and continued by
putting the same uestiori M '4he
presiderit saying! beg vbur pardons,
stranger, but what mightyour name
be?" . m-V .. ; '
The President replied ; 'My name
is Thomas Jeffe'rson:1'. ' -1
Theboyiboked; l'Tistottished
and asked : ; "Not Tom Jefferson,
President of the United States?" .
"Yes," replied Jefferson, and as he
did so the boy jumped from the gig
and into the road, saying : "I havo
heard of you, Tom Jefferson. My
father says you are a rascal, and
would thrash me if ho caught me a
ridin? with you. Father knows you,
arid thinks you are the biggest scoun
drel in the country." -: :
The President was so amused at
the boy 'b pharming candor halne"
invited, him into the (Carriage and
brought, him to hit journey 's end,
urging . him to call- upon '- him j at
Washington ; promising il him - any
thing' he desired should he honor
him with a visit. , , .
" MYou!ll not forget me ?n asked the
enfant terrible. ; ; : r

A year or thereabout after this oc
currence young Morgan, becoming
disgusted with things about horn e,
ran off to Washington, trudging his
way with staff , and gripsack, ' and
covered s with mud, dust and clay
made his way to the White House
and walked boldly mto a room where
he saw Jefferson bending over a ta

laying his hand on his shoulder
shouted ; ' "Hello, Tom' Jefferson,

House," arid the President told him
, -'.V S-
to look about for a few days and see
what kind of an office he wanted.
This young Morgan did, and at the
end of the first day told Jefferson he
believed he would take? a Colonelcy
in the army. President Jefferson
laughed and told him that the Colo
nels were always old men. He must
take something else, but not to be in
