George Washington was the orlglnM trav
eling president and In his day It was no
small undertaking to got about the country.
Ho sot an example for his successors by tryIng -
Ing to become acquainted with the country
nnd Its people between the sessions of con
gress. Two summers ho spent In his prl-
vnto carriage , going Into Now Kngland nnd
through the south to achieve this object.
It Is only In recent years that presidential
Journeying has been made spectacular. The
earllur presidents could travel about with-
DUt 'being ' mobbed. Jackson nnd Taylor
walked the streets of Wanhlngton nnd
EcnRcr agent , though on n different line.
Ho declined the Invitation of another roatl
to take the president's train east , through
loyalty to his own people. And then the gen
eral passenger agent made him pay the full
first-class rate for hauling the president's
special. H was repaid to him later and
that Is about as near as a president of the
United States has come to paying fare In a
long time.
When President Cleveland made his first
trip west ho paid faro for himself and all
the members of his party. The Interstate
commerce law had Just gene Into effect and
ho was afraid of being criticised for violat
ing It. Hut the nvo or six first-class tick
ets which his secretary bought did not pay
for the fine special train that no used.
Hauling the president's special Is nn ex
pensive undertaking. On most roads It
moans side-tracking all other business for
the time. One of the big coal railroads
once put every freight car on side tracks
because the president was going over the
lino. Another road sido-traeked hundreds
of cars of grain and live stock nnd left the
track clear between the beginning and end
of the president's Journey. As an addi
tional precaution a pilot engine Is sent
n'hcad ' of the president's train to sec that
the track Is safo.

AS WASHINGTON TRAVELED WHILE PRESIDENT
stopped to chat with a friend llko any other
citizen and when they traveled no one
thought of standing gazing at them or of
forcing himself upon them for a handshake.
Then the president of the United States
could travel as simply and as unostenta
tiously as ho pleased. Now ho goes In a
special train and the band at every cross
roads ntatlon plays "Hall to the Chief" her
ribly.
There was only one president who had a
private car. That was Lincoln , the man
above all others who was simple in his
tastes. It was not a very fine affair. Today
It would not lie used for second-class traffic.
All the other presidents have traveled in
private cars offered for their use by railroad
companies or sleeping car companies.
Just after the election of President Mc-
Klnley some railroad men got together and
planned n special car for the president
which was to bo finer than that of Queen
Victoria's. It was to be built throughout of
natlvo products and the blending of native
woods In Its decoration was to suggest every
section of the country. All the material waste
to bo contributed and the labor was to tie
done In. the railroad shops. This scheme
was BO attractive that presently It expanded
Into a. plan for an entire train for the pres
ident's UEO , to he an appanage of the ex
ecutive olHce , not 'Mr. McKlnley's prl-
vato property. The olnborated plan pro
vided for a ba&ptago car to contain a dynamo
for heating and lighting the other cars ,
a sleeping conch for the president's secre
tary and clerks nnd a special car for the
president and his guests.As planned the
president's car was to he sixty-nine feet six
Inches long , or fifteen and one-half feet
longer than Queen Victoria's , while Its
width 'was to bo nlno feet eight Inches. Atone
ono end was to bo the Icltchen and quarters
for cook nnd porter. 'A salon In the ralddlo
of the oar , two bed rooms , a bath room and
an observation room were also In the plans.
Nothing has been done toward building
th ! train and the project seems to have
fallen through. So the president In his outIngs -
Ings will use other persons' cars as most ol
his predecessors have dono.
riiylnw for Hie Janrnry.
Sleeping car companies put at the dis
posal of the president their finest cars and
railroad ofllcers tender the use of their
private coaches , because as they go about the
country they are a peripatetic advertise
ment for railroad nnd sleeping car com
panies , and either ono would ho very glad ,
If It were necessary , to pay something for
the privilege of carrying the chief magis
trate.
Only ono railroad man disagrees with this
proposition so far as Is known. Ho was
the general passenger agent of a line run
ning east from St. Louis when President
Harrison visited that city. The railroad
man 'Who was managing the trips was allied
with the same Interests aa the general pas-
riAKRIED HAPPINESS
Is dependent upon the health of the wife
more than on any other one thing. If a
woman Is troubled in
a distinctly feminine
way the most delicate
nerves of her body are
in a state of chronic
irritation. She has
headache and back
ache. She is listless
and spiritless. She is
crosi and blue. She
feels that life is not
worth living and her
te in per reflects the
condition of her
nerves. Poor , suffering wife poor , dis
tracted husband. If the husband is a
cheerful , good - humored man he will
sympathize If he is nervous , tired and
irritable himself , he will probably go off
to the club or seek elsewhere more con-
Kenlal company.
A sick woman is to be pitied because
ehe is miserable and because she has not
yet learned that Dr. Picrcc's Kavorite Pre
scription will make her well
The "Favorite Prescription" was de-
velpped over
thirty years
ago in the reg
ular practice
of Dr. H. V.
Pierce who is
and was then ,
chief consult
ing physician
to the Inva
lids' Hotel nnd
Surgical Insti
tute , at lltif.
falo , N. Y.
Since then it
_ has been used
by millions of women and has brought
health , happiness and contentment to as
many homes.
" My wife was sick for over eight years , " writes
Albert H. 1'ullc , Ksq. , of Altamout , Oruntly Co. ,
Tcuti. " She had uterine dUraic and was treated
by two ptiy > ldau and got uo relief. At last I
read about Dr , fierce' * 1'avoritc I'rcscriptlon , I
tent to the drug ( tore , cot one bottle and the

Buy for three nlghU. Deiug ture that it would
cure lier I neiit fur five more bottle * and when
the had taken the sixth bottle die was * ound and

The " Favorite Prescription " contains
no alcohol and no opium or other narcotic ,
and is perfectly harmless iu any condition
ef
tlal Journey Is no small undertaking.
George \V. Doyd has done more of this than
ho could nr-
any other railroad man and
range to talto the president safely around
the world on forty-eight hours' notice.
When the president wants to make a long
Journey he usually calls Mr. Boytl In for
consultation as nn expert. CMr. Bo yd looks
up the regular schedules of all the roads to
bo covered and calculates the running tlmo
of their trains. Ho has to balance every
thing with great nicety so as not to bring
the president to a big city nt 2 In the
morning or land him at a terminal without
provision for continuing the Journey on
some other line. When he has mapped out
the trips 'he ' telegraphs the officials of all
the railroads to ask If they can pick the
president's train up nt this point at that
tlmo and take it through to the other sta
tion at such an hour. This schedule In
cludes all the Important stops , with an al
lowance of flvo or ten minutes for each
daylight station on the route. When the
railroads agree to the schedule It U finally
delivered to the president.
You see , the president personally has very
little voice In the matter. He must pass

7,000 to Cnnniln.
Hon. Peter Janscn of Jan. en , Neb. , re
turned to his homo yesterday from a trip to
Manitoba , whcro ho has spent the last two
weeks In visiting the settlement of Uukho-
bortel at Yorkton , about 300 miles west of
Winnipeg. Mr. Jansen went there for the
purpose of Inducing some of these new
settlers to como to Nebraska to work In the
beet fields or to engage in raising 'beets on
their own account. In this , however , ho
was unsuccessful , because they are so com
fortably situated and the Canadian govern
ment lias made them such Haltering prom
ises , which have been In a measure fulfilled ,
that ho could offer no Inducement for them
to transfer their allegiance to this country.
Mr. Janecn found a village of tents , con
taining 7,000 men , women and children , who
had left their homes In Uurclu that they
might find a place where they can worship
their Creator In any manner they please , and
without having the tcrriblo possibility of
being deported to Siberia constantly hanging
over their heads. Of these 7,000 souls there
are a number who have sons In the bleak
Siberian steppes , 150 In all being exiles in
that bleak region.
The Uukhobortsl correspond to the Quak
ers or Friends of this country. They exist
as a separate community , making their otfn
clothing and living In a simple , provident
manner that wins the admiration of all who
lecome acquainted with them. They are
non-combntants In belief , do not make oath ,
contenting themselves with a nltnplo alllrma-
tlon , and they do not drink or smoke.
They are neat In their dress , exceptionally
cleanly In every -way , nnd lead an exemplary
life. While unsuccessful In his attempt to
bring some of these new settlers here , ( Mr.
Jansen says ho hopes that others may be
brought over from their native land , which
has persecuted them so long. Concerning
his trip and these people Mr. Jensen said :
"Ever slnco the Immigration of those per
secuted Christians , the Dukhobortsl of Hus-
sla , commenced It had been my desire to
visit these , my former countrymen , and en
couraged to do so by a recent letter from my
dear friend , William Harvey of Leeds , Eng
land , I left my homo In Nebraska Juno 6 ,
reaching Winnipeg , the capital of Manitoba ,
on the. Sth. I was very kindly received there
by Mr. William iHespcler , who had visited
my father's homo In South Russia In 1S72 ,
and through whoso Instrumentality the set
tlement of our people , the Mennonltos , took
place In southern Manitoba.
"Mr. Hespeler Introduced me to Mr. Wil
liam Baker , general manager of the Mani
toba & Northwest railway , and Mr. Mc-
Creary , the commissioner of Immigration ,
and through the courtesy or these gentlemen
my trip was greatly facilitated.
"Tho nearest place of settlement of the
Dukhobortsi was Yorkton , which I reached
late Saturday evening , June 10 , where I
was met by Mme. Carousa , a Russian lady
of nobre birth , who had accompanied the
last contingent of these people from the Isle
of Cyprus , and also by several of the leaders
of the Dukhobortsl.
"I spoke to them In their own language
and they seemed very glad to learn that I
came from their own country.
"Although so far north , Sunday morning

PRESIDENT .M'KINLEY IN HIS SPECIAL CAR
through certain places onroute to his des
tination. Public sentiment demands thnt
ho stop for flvo minutes here nnd for half
nn hour there. net ween these stops the
speed capacity of. the railroad must bo con
sidered nnd the president seldom travels at
the highest fate for fear of accident. At
the end of the route the president has to go
through a program of speechmaklng nnd
dining nnd sight-seeing arranged for him
by the local committee.
I'rcsldont Harrison and President Cleveland -
land ulways'took newspaper correspondents
with them on their Journeys. President
McKlnley so far has refused to do so and
his secretaries have made up a report of tlio
Incidents of the trip to be given to the
press , with copies of the president's speeches
at the largo cltlos where the president's
tniln stops. The speeches are not pre
pared , except for Important occasions.
The president has his own stenographer
take note of what he says In his Im
promptu speeches and then carefully re
vises the manuscript. All this business Is
handled for him by Ills private secretary ,
Gcorgo n. Cortclyou , who always accom
panies him.
The president chooses the members of his
party. With the exception of the train
crew every man or woman aboard la his
guost. Ono feature of the expense of the
Journey the president usually pays for. It
Is the provisioning of Ills car. It Is no
small part of the cost of n trip , for In much
of the sparsely settled western country
through v > lilch President McKlnley must
necessarily pass on his next trip he will
breakfast and ill no on the train. It Is a
matter of prldo with the car cook to put nn
elaborate meal before the president three
times a day , so when tlio car Is stocked the
best of everything Is taken aboard. Hut
even that Is not a very serious expense to a
man who lives rent-frco on a salary of
150,000 a year.

"They are n most cleanly , God-fearing
people and by the help of God will not
only make homes for themselves , but will
form a most desirable contingent of this
vast northwcfit territory.
"I had always entertained fears that they
had gene beyond the limits of successful
agriculture , but after thorough Investiga
tion and talks with settlers who have lived
In that vicinity from ten to sixteen years
I am glad to say that I believe they will be
able , beyond a doubt , to grow necessities
of life , and more. They have plenty of timber
for fuel and buildings. In fact , I am
convinced that , although wo should be glad
to have them In the otates , wo never could
have offered them the opportunities and in
ducements which the open lands of the
Canadian northwest and the government of
that country have- given them. Mr , Mc-
Creary , the Immigration commissioner , Is a
man of rare judgment and great executive
ability , and Is taking special Interest In
these people , and the lands reserved for them
are Bald to bo the very best In the territory.
They will not bo able to raise much of n
crop this year , as the land has to bo
broken first , but they have planted tnmo
grain , potatoes and other vegetables. How
ever , they will have to bo taken care of tea
a largo extent during next winter , und wo
must all unite In doing so , lies Ides pro
viding food , their chief needs are animals
for work , milch cows and sheep for wool.
"Uased upon my own experiences gained
In the days of our own early settlement. I
have strongly advised to provide them with
oxen for draught animals , Instead of horses ,
the former not requiring any grain for food ,
but doing the work of breaking the prairie
upon the abundant nutritious grasses , be
sides being much cheaper than horses.
"In the meantime they are willing to
work whenever they can and ono party has
taken a contract of constructing some of
tbo roadbed for a railroad extension and
has In that way earned some money.
"In my conversation with them I tried to
Impress upon them the necessity of con
forming with the ways of the country as
far as the mode of work and agriculture U
concerned.
I'lltllPllO IlK'llIl-lltH ,
"Some most pathetic Incidents occurred ;
during my visit amongst them. I aiked an old
pleasant-featured man , adresslng him , as
Is the custom In IliiFola , as 'Mttlo Father. '
'Do you think you will be able to get along
In your new home ? ' I asked. Ho looked
up , and tbo faith which was In him was
depicted upon his face nnd IIP answered :
"The God who has selected this land for
ui , where we can worship Him ac-corJlng to
the dictates of our consciences , will cer
tainly not let us starve. '
"Tho tears were- hard to keep back when
an old mother came nnd said , 'I hftvo two
sons who wcro deported to Siberia because
they would not s rvo In the army nnd I
am hero alone , and I will ask the blessings
of Cod ! upon thco day and night If thee
will bring ttiem over to me. '
"Others have fathers , husbands or near
relatives there , In nil some hundred and
fifty , and I think wo must make It our
earnest duty to bring about a release of
thcso poor unfortunates. I believe If the
governments of England and the United
States will take this up In a friendly man
ner with the government of Russia this
can bo brought about , as there Is no sense
In keeping these few In exllo when the
others have been permitted to depart.

"Knowing President McKlnley personally
and believing his kindly heart will prompt
htm to act , wo shall lay this matter before
him , nnd I trust his English friends will
use their Influence with their own gov
ernment.
"As I said before , these people make a
most pleasing Impression upon even the
casual observer nnd were commented upon
favorably by everybody who has seen them.
Mr. Crearcr , the local Immigration agent
at Yorktown , who , by the way , Is the right
man In the right place , told mo that they
had even scrubbed out the cars which
brought them before sending tliom back.
"They have built n bath house of logs ,
after the Russian fashion , whcro they take
their regular steam baths after their custom.
"Having been robbed by the Russian offi
cials for years , they are still naturally suspi
cious and can hardly believe that anybody
Is willing to servo them without a selfish
motive.
"I was sorry not to bo able to meet Cap
tain St. John , who , I understand , Is devoting
himself to them.
"Upon my return to Winnipeg I had the
pleasure of meeting friends , William Evans
nnd Joseph S. Elklnton of Philadelphia , who
had como out on a similar mission as my
own. With them was Prlnco Holkoffwho
has also devoted his life to his persecuted
countrymen. Wo spent some pleasant'and ,
I hope , profitable hours together consulting
upon the best ways and means to help this
cause , nnd also agreeing upon a course of
action In regard to the unfortunate ones In
Siberia , These dear friends left the next
morning for Yorkton , while I went to south
ern 'Manitoba ' , where a largo and prosperous
settlement of our people , the Russian Men-
nonltes , Is located. They have prospects of
a very bountiful harvest , and In case this
materializes they have promised to give a
number of Dukhobortsl work , which will not
only enable them to earn some money , but
will also give them an opportunity to learn
something about Canadian farming.
"I believe the Lord will take care of
these , 'His ' children , but we who believe In
the Prlnco of Peace should bo willing to
act as His servants. "
A PLEA FOR THE POET ,
\Vhy Me Chafes Under the Regulations of j
Educational Institutions.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Juno 0. To the Editor of
The Dee : Yesterday morning I heard the
commencement address , and It has set me a
thinking. Cyrus Northrop , president of the
Minnesota university , was the speaker ; so of
course the production was scholarly. He
took for his subject : "Tho Education Which
Our Country Needs , " and ho touched upon
one phase of the great theme In such a way
as to make mo want to hear that particular
part of It treated more elaborately.
I refer to a movement which has been
evolving for years and which may -termed
as the many elbowing the few. The man of
Imagination meets with disparagement on
every hand. Institutions of Instruction that
should feel an honor in promoting his well-
being have turned against him. Rubbed
perpetually with bare and acrid facts , the
mind of the dreamer Is no longer sensitive
to an that is dainty and most delicate. His
brain has taken on the thick veneer of book
callous and scientific corns. The drowsy dew
odor of the morning Is now lost to him , for
his nose has scraped so much against the
Latin syntax and Hebrew roots that In his
nostrils lingers the stale smell of printer's
ink and mouldy paper.
Even through the graded schools the In
oculation of damnation has taken effect.
Forced to memorize useless definitions and
vicious formulas , a child soon forgets Ills
fairyland of the heavens and learns readily
enough to distinguish a cloud only as be
longing to a certain category. And some
times when he Is roused from sleep by the
moist freshness .of the wakening day , and
the oat-stacks of n distant field are lllae-
hued , half-veiled In the dim mist vagaries
of the dawn ; when the violet darkness has
been frightened away by the soft luminary of
morning , and a rose-orange glow comes quiv
ering Into pink across the cloud-ocean of
the sky , then the little one turns to behold ,
and falls Immediately to classifying as with
a definite convocation of diagrams and dotted
lines. And this blossoming marvel ol
nature's Infinite love brooms not for him.
And the tragedy of si life has begun. A
soul has ceased to see.
Yes , this Is certainly the commencement
of that training which his college educa
tion will complete. If ho gains any sort
of standing at the university it is because
his attention will bo devoted exclusively
to the work proscribed. With his ambition
set upon winning a mode ] , or upon an elec
tion to the Phi Heta Kappa , he can have
little space for gratuitous meditation or for
the relaxation of his faculties. Ho is urged
on by every possible means to extreme dlll-
gcnco and Is constantly upon a. tension. To
work , to apply one's self , to labor in many
fields with dogged determination , that Is the
grand idoa.
Hcnre , specialization Is against the law
and originality Is unknown. What with
doing well all that one Is supposed to do.
when Is a man to find tlmo for individual
reflection ? His studies being perpetually
hurried , continually a strain , exhaust an
Infinite deal of energy which might bo con
tributed to the particular branch of learn
ing for which ho has most aptitude. If ho
have imagination , that most precious of
gifts , It Is permitted no greater develop
ment than any other faculty.
And so this dlvinest of powers Is not
taken Into account , this creative essence
of the mind , this master architect of thought
without which logic Is folly and science a
farce. Nay , more : It frequently Is killed
outright ; for fancy Is the warm and dell-
cato ( lower which withers under the cold
breath of more learning as some sweet
blossom under the Icy blast of winter.
Look how the botanist hurries through
the luminous fields , stopping hero and there
to root up some strange plant.
On every hand Is the nodding of the pop
ples In the sheen and shimmer of midsum
mer tlmo. The lilies drowse under a great
fall of quivering light. And amid this slumbering -
boring silence of noonday , now laden with
the langor and suny fragrance of earth and
flowers , sounds faintly the hushed hum of
some persistent bee in a rosebud by the
pathway.
Hut the botanist hurries through the luml-
nous fields , stopping hero and there to grub
up a strange plant.
Oh , the shame , the pity of it ! For might
not this man , at some time , have been able
to see and comprehend such loveliness ?
Might he not , at some time , have been able
to feel this Sabbath Indolence of Nature ?
Perhaps not ; perhaps ho might never have
understood. All the more reason , then , that
the few who can understand such things
should understand them to tbo fuflest do-
Breo. Therefore everything else should be
subservient to the artist's love for the beau
tiful that iiU ten BO of the divine may gain

the greater eminence. And if ho exert not
his intellect as diligently as others , If he Is
not a good student , if , In a. word , ho should
bo unable to pass examinations , Is that cause
enough why ho should not bo tolerated In

follow In the path of the orthodox , does It
argue that ho may not dip Into books and
skim them over to excellent purpose ?
And so If the dreamer takes It Into his

to do with philosophy , why should not the
doors of the Fecturo room be open to him ?
Why , Indeed , should not the college , like the
world without , bo ever his resource ? When
the novelist chooses to utilize the snake-
charmer of the circus as a character for his
romance , ho studies her In his own peculiar
way without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation on earth. Ho selects
only such details as will meet his own re
quirements. It therefore would seem as Ira-
pertinent to demand that the poet take a
complete course in philosophy as to require
that the novelist take a complete course in
the charming of wakes. If the regulators
of reaming could only remain idle long
enough to consider things , even they might
como to the conclusion that perhaps , after
all , the verse-maker might In Eomo way or
other get along very well in his verse-mak
ing without writing a thesis upon sensations.
I cnce heard of a college that granted ono
student a fellowship In English , although
that student had never memorized Spenccr'u
definition of life. I have never fathomed
how this could have como about ; maybe It
was because the student admitted that llfo
was precisely what Spencer said It was a
definite combination of heterogeneous
changes , both simultaneous and successive ,
In correspondence with external co-cxlstenco
and sequence.
Also , poor Spencer ! If dead now , God
rest his Intellect. Ho must have Buffered
atrociously If ho lived that kind of a life.
Yes , indeed , the poet must keep his mind
reserved for impressions of the picturesque
and the beautiful , of things vital , tlilugs that
are holy. Ho therefore should bo careful
to make his memory neither a junk shop for
a lumber of long words nor a second-hand
Btoi-o for dusty Ideas. Hut If he go to college -
certain necessary flavor of
lego to gain a
books how , under llio present regime , Is
ho to do It ? The bcnlficent authorities of
the university , the most gracious , the high
and the mighty , with wondrous wisdom in
their looks , decide , after duo deliberation ,
that If such a student como properly pro
vided with a lilgh school diploma he may
of course bo permitted to work ! They do
not ascertain If ho have Imagination ; they
seek In no way to find out the natural bent
of his mind. If ho bo more fitted for one
thing than for another , why that 1 no
fault of theirs ! And they assume that all
are allko and will not consider the Indi
vidual.
So at times a college becomes the green
house that would propagate a violet until
It becomes a rose. The musician groans
under a burden of mathematics. The aes
thete of sensitive nostril labors In the lab
oratory , stilled , suffocated , surrounded by
the steTicli of nauseous chemicals.
Enough , then , of Implacable , require
ments ! Let there bo exceptions. And since
much learning , In frequent cases , becomes
n barrier between the Intellect and the soul ,
let us not urge too great a diligence In this
matter of books. Let not the mirror of
the mind bo so abused with knowledge that
It cease to reilrct the beauties of a llvo and
palpitating world.
When this has como to pass , then will
the Idler bo respected as the student of
nightly vigils ; then will It bo understood
that duty Is not of more benefit than pleas
ure , and then will people comprehend that
In opening the eye to all which Is most
sweet and most lovable In life is a de
light upon earth and a Joy up In heaven.
And until then the dreamer will go his
way , despised by the dogmatic , sneered at
by the scholars , nut his fancy will retouch
with tender tones the rudeness of his fel
lows. And ho will seek out the picturesque
and bo moved by the dainty nnd the grace

And at times ho will wander to some fa-
\ored spot to remain under the night-magic
