White House." June 21. 1904.
Dear Kermit: . We spent today at the
KnoxesV It is. a beautiful farm just
uch; a one as you could run. Phil
Knox, as capable and efficient as he
Is diminutive, amused Mother and me
greatly by the silent way in which
he aid in first-rate way his full share
t f all the work.
Tomorrow the national convention
meets, and barring a cataclysm I shall
be nominated. There is a great deal of
sullen grumbling, but it has taken
more the form of resentment against
what they , think is my dictation as to
details than against me personally.
They don't dare to oppose me for the
nomination and I suppose it is hardly
likely the attempt will be made to
stampede the convention for any one.
How the election will turn out no man
can tell. Of course I hope to be elect
d, but I realize to the full how very
lucky I have been, not only to be presi
dent but to have been able to accom
plish so, much while president, and
whatever may be the outcome, I am
not only content but very sincerely
thankful for all the .good fortune I have
had. - From Panama down I have been
able to accomplish certain things which
will be lasting importance in our his
tory. , Incidentally. I don't think that
finy family has ever enjoyed the white
house more than we have. I was think
ing about it just this morning when
Mother and I took breakfast on the
portico and afterwards walked about
the lovely grounds and looked at the
stately, historic old house. It is a won
derful privilege to. have been here and
to have been given the chance to do
this, work, and I should regard myself
as having a small and mean mind if in
the event of defeat I felt soured at
not having had more instead of being
thankful for having had so much. -
usually alone. Though I have callers
in the evening, I generally have an
hour In which to ,sit with Mother and
the, others up in the library, talking
and reading and watching the bright
wood fire. Ted and Ethel, as well as
Archie and Quentin. are generally in
Mother's room for twenty minutes or a
half hour Just before she dresses, ac
cording to immemorial custom . -".'
Last evening Mother and I and Ted
and Ethel and Matt. -Hale went to the
theatre to see "The Yankee Consul,"
which was quite funny.

when Mother and I were walking down
the steps of the big south porch we
aw a. movement amonc the honey

your lizard that you brought home
from Mount Vernon. We have seen
'him several times since and he is evi

On the Eve of Election.
White House, Oct. 15, 1904.
Darling Kermit: The weather has
been beautiful the last week mild, and
yet with the true feeling of fall in tho
air. When Mother and 1 have ridden
up Rock creek through the country
round about, it has been a perpetual
delight just to look at the sfoilage. I
have never seen leaves turn more beau
tifully. The . Virginia creepers and
' some of the maple, and gun trees are
scarlet and crimson. The oaks are
deep red brown. The beeches, birches
and hickories are brilliant saffron. Just
at this moment I am dictating while j
on ray, way with Mother to tne wed
ding of Senator Knox's daughter, and
the country is a blaze of color as we
pass through it, so that it is a joy to
the eye to look upon it. I do not think
I have ever before Seen the colorings
.of the woods so beautiful so far south
as this. Ted is hard at work with
Matt. Hale, who is a very nice fellow
and has become quite one of the house
hold like good Mademoiselle. I am
really fond of her. She is so bright
and amusing and now' seems perfect
ly happy, and is not only devoted to
Archie and Quentin but is very wise In
the way she takes care of them. Quen
tin, under parental .duress, ride3 Algon
quin every day. Archie has just bought
himself a football suit, but I have not
noticed that he has played football as
yet. He is spending Saturday and
Sunday out at Dr. Rixey's. Ted plays
tennis with Matt. Hale and me and
Mr. Cobley. We tried Dan Moore. You
could beat him. Yesterday I took an
afternoon off and we all -went lor a
scramble and climb down the other
. side of the Potomac from Chain Bridge
"home. It was great fun.' Tomorrow
" ( S unday) we . shall have lunch early
'; and' spend the afternoon in a drive
5 of the entire family, including Ethe
i but not including Archie and Quen
. tin, out to Burnt Mills and back. When
I say we all scrambled along the Poto-
mac I of course meant Matt. Hale and
Ted and I. Three or four active male
, friends took the walk with, us. -
? - In politics things at the moment
"seem to lookx quite right, but every
' form of lie is being circulated by the
democrats, and they intend undoubt
edly tv spring all kinds of sensational
" untruths at the very end of the cam
? paign. 1 have not any idea whether we
will win or not. Before election I shall
, send" you my guess as to the way the
different states will vote, and then you
i can keep it and see how near to the
truth I come. : But of course you will
remember" that it is a mre guess, and
. that I may be utterly mistaken . all
along the. line. In any event, even If I
am beaten you must remember that
we have had three years of great
enjoyment out or xno presiaency ana
that we are mighty lucky to have had
them. " .-(-

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calomel
when a few cents buys Dodson's Liver
Tone -a .perfect substitute for Calomel.
17
TDodson's Liver Tone" is a pleasant,
vegetable liquid which will start your
liver just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn't make . you sick and can not
salivate. ' V '
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nau
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious,
ness, constipation, sluggishness, head,
ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better han
horrible calomel your money is wait
ing for you.
