Bemldjl, Minn, WHITE HOUSE CHANGES GAY TIMES ARE EXPECTED BY ALL AT PRESIDENT'S HOME UNDER WILSON. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Three Sin gle Daughters Are Talented and Active Socially—Former Pos- sesses Artistic Ability. When Woodrow Wilson i8 inaugu rated into office March 4, 1913| social life at the White House will be in capable hands The mistress of the White House is a woman whc is . talented, sym- pathetic and al ways charming and with her wili be three daugh ters, each of whom has a defi nite vocation it life and a pecu liar fitness for do ing at least one thing remarkably well. The eldest, Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, is twenty-six vears old, while Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson is only a year younger, making her three years older than Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, who was born twenty-twe Years ago at Middletown, Conn., when her father was a professor at Wesley- an university. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born in Georgia and passed the first part ot | her life there. She early showed a great talent for painting, and many critics have said she probably would have had a great future as an artist if she had not- given up most of het work in this lime after her marriage ta Prof. Wilson when he was a strug gling collegiate instructor at Bryn Mawr. ) While still engaged to Mr. Wilson 8he was a member of the Art Stu dents' league in New York, but from her wedding day until a few years aga Mrs. Wilson did little work with the brush. After her daughters had grown up and gone off to school, however, she decided to do a little more artistic work, making landseapes her special ty. Several of her recent sketches | hang on the walls of the family's sum- mer home at Seagirt, N. J. Friends have often advised her to exhibit some of these, but she has continually | declined to do so. Mrs. Wilson has also made quite a name for herself as a landscape gardener, The principles of education which | Woodrow Wilson advocated while | president of Princeton university were put into practice in his own family. None of the girls went to school until after ten years old. The natural in- clinations of each were allowed to de- | velop to the full extent and the par- ents made almost unfelt their guiding hands. A German governess gave | them instruction in French and Ger- man, and today all three young wo- men are very proficient in both Ilan. guages. They fitted for college at a private school in Princeton, which was presided over by a sister of Dean Fines of the university. Miss Margaret entered the woman's college at Baltimore In the class of 1907. At the completion of her sopho- more year she discovered that she had 2 soprano voice of great possibilities, and, acting under advisement, she left the college for mucical training. She studied music at the Peabody insti- | tute in Baltimore under Miss Sylvana, then returned to Princeton and stud- fed under Miss Vivian Edwards, and leter came to New York, where Mrs. Lillian Gillespie was her teacher, Miss Margaret Wilson is an expert athlete. She plays golf. tennis and basket ball very well indeed, is an ex- pert horsewoman, swims in the rough- est water in the most fearless fashion and dances with much grace. The most serious of the trlo ts Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, mueh of whose time is given to educational, philanthropic and religious work. She is 2 _member of the national board of Y. W. C. A. and is identified with the educational branch. She was an hon- or member in the class of 1908 of the | woman’s college at Raltimore, gaining the golden key of Phi Beta Kappa. The first two years of her post gradu- ate life she passed in philanthropic work .at Kensington. Philadelphia. While here she decided to go into for- eign missionary work, but was in- formed by the head of the Presbyter- fan board of foreign missions that she was not robust enough for the exact- ing duties of that station. She is very busy the year round, going to New York once a month, and has to dispose daily of & voluminous correspond- jthe child has a cold. Chamberlain’s’ Town of Long Lived People. Rome, Ga., is a city of about 14,000, There are here more than 50 men pver 70 who are making a living with: jout any assistance. Some of them &re a good deal over 70, near 80. Thig Rpplies to whites only. Most of them ‘served four years in the southern army, which was a very hard life and _calculnted to shorten their days. 1 suppose there are as many women of the same age, but as to this I have Dot investigated, says a writer in the Christian Herald. This must be an unusually healthy locality, and there are more old people in it in propor tion to numbers than any other place I know of. Fourteen mfles from here ithere lived until a few years ago Nathan White, a farmer. When he was 106 years old he planted and {made all alone three bales of cotton and 300 bushels of corn, besides split- ting his own rails and cutting fire wood for the family. I took him to a Dhotographer and he walked with a cane—walked too fast for me. This man lived to be about 112 years old. He was a native of North Carolina. American Standard Time. Time is practigally an artificial con- ;nntion, and of all means of time es- ‘tablishment the sun i8 the mos{ variable. The standard of our timae ds that established at the naval ob. servatory in Washington by the ob servation of the culmination of eir cumpolar stars. The standard of our time is the astronomical time thus ob- tained adjusted to the 76th meridian for the eastern time sone, to the 90th and so on at fifteen degrees intervals, ‘A difference of longitude measured by fifteen degrees is represented in time by exactly one hour, therefore the minutes and seconds are the same in all parts of the world where time has | thus been standardized, the variety at fects only the hour and the day. The naval observatory as a part of its du. ties supplies this time, its general dlp) tribution at retail is effected by pri vate enterprise. Very Meny Women. Continuous self-sacrifice is some women's idea of living a useful life. —Fiorida Times-Union. == | We wish to call your attention to the fact that most infectious diseases; such as whooping cough, diphtheria| and scarlet fever are contracted when Cough R'emedy will quickly cure al cold and greatly lessen the danger of| contracting these diseases.

Miss Eleanor Wilson, known as Nell in the family circle and among her intimate friends, inherited her mother’s artistic ability and has al. ready made quite a reputation for her- Belf by her productions. She is not a college graduate, having gained her education in a private school at Princeton and in St. Mary’s school at Raleigh, N. C. Much of her artistic training was received at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. There are not many members of the families of Governor and Mrs. Wil- son. The governor has one brother living, Joseph R. Wilson, city editor ot the Nashville Banner, and one sister, Mrs. George Howe of Raleigh, N. C.
