This vessel, fitted luxuriously, is kept in constant readiness 12 months in the year, with a complete crew ever ixandy to take the vessel to sea on 24 hours' notice. In former days crowds gathered at the depot to see the .president arrive or depart. Tlui crowds were not mereVy annoying; they were dangerous. On such an occasion It was that Charles Guiteau, lurking behind a door in the old Pennsylvania station, jumped out ami shot Garfield In the back. All is changed now. . When the president starts on ? Journey he la driven direct' to his own private entrance of the uuloo station. In fact wbw the uuton station was bulll an entire wing of the enormous structures was* set aside for his personal use. WUeuever the president goes trav eling In L?ls private train tie always has the right of way no matter how badly traffic way Ih? congested.

When the president desires to at tciiii a theater, he baa nothing to pay. Each of the prlneli?al playhouse* In Washington provides a box for his use whenever he cares to occupy It. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson like a good variety show better than anything else, appar ently, atid they sometimes take stalls In preference to a box. ?
