Peeping through the bars he saw George Francis Train, who had bis fur-trimmed cloak thrown over his shoulders anda large coverlet wound around his legs. He was dictating a letter to the Pres dential photographer, John Wesley Nichols. Mr. Nichols, who was attired ina heavy tweed sult, and who wore his glossy silk hat, en- deavored to keep pace with his excited chief. When the reporter announced himself the man who has for years aspired to the Presidency of the United States turned his head and said, “Ah, my dear sir,” and then began to unwind himself from the coverlet. He became en- tangled in it, but at length managed to throw It from him and approach the door. His face brightened up ashe extended his hand through the bars and greeted the reporter. Mr. Nichols did not stir, He kept on writing. The bed waa covered with newspapers and magazines, and on the floor a nice carpet had been laid, A CHANGE OF DIET.
