After luncheon a twoseated carriage was brought up with a driver, and the President and his wife took a short drive around the hotel grounds.

The Twenty-first Regiment was stationed at Plattsburg barracks two years ago, while tho President was here, and each morning a guard mount was held on the lawn in front of the hotel, after which they were reviewed by the President. Mrs. McKlnley gave the regiment a handsome silk flag, which they carried all through the Santiago campaign, and which they are now defending in the Philippines. The reglmtr.t came to be known as the ''President's Own," and both he and Mrs. McKlnley take a special interest In their movements. The President has been invited to services at the First Methodist Church, but owing to Mrs. McKinley's Illness it is doubtful whether he will accept the Invitation. It was learned to-day Vice President Hobart. who is spending the summer at Long Branch, may visit the President here soon if the Vice President's health will permit.

Price of Lumber Advanced. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 29, Lumber will advance another 50 cents straight Monday morning, this being the fifth marked advance in prices this year. The lumber Interests claim to be entirely justified In advancing the price. It has been many years since there was such a demand as the present season has shown, and even with the advancing prices the demand continues to exceed the supply. In the case of elevator builders, who are using "cribbing" in great quantities, there seems to be an end of things, and it appears that they will soon have to resort either to the higher grade of "cribbing." which is almost too expensive for the purpose, or take to steel for elevator bul: lings. There have been but few years when so much activity has been shown in the elevator business. This is partly attributed to the growth of new towns along the Great Northern in northern Minnesota and the Minneapolis & St. Louis in the southern part, and partly to the excellent wheat prospects this season.

Great Soldier and Rnre Military Genius. Harper's Weekly. Lord Wolseley, commander of the English army, and General W. T. Sherman have said that, had General Nathan Bedford Forrest received a military education, he would have been the greatest figure of the civil war. After reading the biography of the celebrated Confederate cavalry leader, which has been written by Dr. John A. Wyeth, and which is to be published shortly by Harper & Brothers, it is easy to understand why Forrest should be so esteemed by all who are best qualified to Judge. General Forrest was keenly appreciative of the necessity of giving his personal attention to the smallest details connected with his military operations in order to achieve success. He was not content to accept reports from even his most trusted and faithful subordinates, but he made careful inspection of his artillery, the harness, and the condition of the animals as well as tho men, and held his ollicers strictly accountable for keeping his command supplied with ammunition, forage and rations. Nothing seemed to escape his careful scrutiny. When on the march, which usually began at daylight, he would take his place by the roadside and observe regiment after regiment as they passed before him. He would then mount his horse and ride through the column from rear to front If it were raining and he saw a cartridge box exposed to the weather, the delinquent need expect no mercy from the commander. If la crossing a stream a soldier permitted hit ammunition to get wet he might consider himself fortunate to escape with a reprimand. His quick eye readily detected a lame or tender-footed animal, or one that did not seem to be well-fed or properly cared for. A veteran of Forrest's command informed the writer than on one occasion the general ordered him to leave the ranks, remarking: "Why do you let your horse's back get soref Take your saddle off and let me see what is the matter." On exposing the animal's back it was found to be chafed. Forrest reprimanded him and dismounted to give him a practical lesson in the manner of rolling the blanket so that the pressure would be taken from the abraded surface. As ho rode away, the general remarked: "You mut never again let me see you riding a horse with a sore back; there is no need of It. A few days later the general recognized the trooper, and also noticed that "he had not fixed the blanket as he had been instructed; and, narrating the circumstance, the trooper said: "I did not get off so easily that time. The general gave me hell, but It taught me a lesson I never forgot." The precautions he took for the comfort and safety of his men were fully appreciated, and formed one of the strong bonds of attachment between the soldiers and thtlr commander. When they bivouacked for the night, in proximity to the enemy, he never rested until ho saw In person that the rickets were proptrly posted, and that experienced and reliable men were detailed for Important duties. His men felt the most lm pllcit reliance in this watchful care for thm?elves. A lieutenant of the escort said: "We had the confidence in him which I Imagine the Old Guard had in Napoleon. On one occasion, while we were supposed to be in a very dangerous position, with the enemy all about us, we were ordered to go Into camp for the night. There were some new recruits with us. who. seeing the older members of the command preparing to He down and go to sleep, said: 'You don't expect to lie down and ko to fdeen with the enemy all around you, do you? The answer was: Of course we do; General Forrest told us to do it.' Too Many Docs In Kansas. Collier's Weekly. Kansas has suffered In years past from an overproduction of grasshoppers and Populists. It Is now filleted, it arrears, with a surplusage of dotrs. It is long on dops, but short on sheep. The secretary of the Kansas State Agricultural Society deplores this fact in a recent report. He shows that there are but 200,00 sheep in the State while the number of dogs is 176.CO. Two years ago the sheep outnumbered the dogs by 30 per cent., while last year this percentage was reduced to 17. In one county there were 909 dogs to each sheep, and in twelve selected counties there were 2" dons to each fheep. If a similar investigation were made in other States we doubt not that some of them would show an equal disproportion of dogs and sheen. But It is not a good sign anywhere. I'rosperlty for the farmer does not He- along the way of an increase In the dog crop. nesnlt of a Playful Sou 111 e.
