“You know you promised to tell us. all about Senator, Harding ' last week,” teased Jack as he tugged at his Uncle’s coat. ’ “That’s true, Jack. All right, I'll tell you all I can but there are so many things to tell about Mr. Hard- ing that.I can’t possibly tell tRem all L tonight. Now sit real quiet and don’t ask too many questions. “Warren G. Harding was born on his grandfather’s farm, not far from the little village of Blooming Grove, ‘Morrow: county, Ohio., on the second day of November, 1865. There were eight children in the family and Sen- ator Harding was the oldest. His fa- ther, George T.

The original Harding fam- ily ‘came from Scotland and settled first in Connecticut and-later moved to Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, where ‘many of them fought in the Revolutionary war. Warren’s moth- er, for he was Warren, Jack, just as you are Jack today, was Phoebe Dick- erson, descended from the Van Kirks an ‘old Holland Dutch family. .So you see our next President has the strong blood of the Holland Dutch on one side and the fearless, alert, and liberty loving Scotch blood on the ] other. “As Warren grew up on his grand- father’'s farm he had to learn to cut down' trees; chop wood, split rails, plant and hoe corn and all those things flmt had to be done when to raise’ crops meant raising them be- tweeén the roots and stumps of trees. Every thing was done by hand for there was no expensive farm machin- ery.. Your father knows, Jack, what hard work it was in those days.” “Didn’t he ever play?” asked Ruth. ‘You bet he did, Ruth. He was & healthy boy and like all healthy boys he enjoyed the sports of the country and village, He loved the old swim- ming hole and no boy could dive deeper or swim farther than War- ren. He had a sunny disposition and was the real leader of the gang of his school-mates. When he was six- teen..he looked like a man and had the strength of a man and there was no older boy -who. dared bully him. And he always protected the younger boys. Up until he was fourteen years old he went to the village school, and then he entered the Ohio Central Col- lege of Iberia.

He was showing a lady visitor wer his stodio one day and produced a charming little landscape, indicating that there was a story behind it. “I was out in the forest,” he explained. *I had all my materials with me ex- cept an empty canvas.

I was determined not to be baffled, so I took out my handkerchief, stretched it across my case, and painted on that.” The lady looked ‘at the handkerchief and then turned a shocked face to the artist. “You'll never be able to wash that paint out,” she said~—London Tit-Bits. scholarship. It was while there that he showed a talent for ' newspaper work, for he was made editor of the college paper. But the boys in those days couldn’t afford to go right thru college. - He had to gtop for a time now and then to earn money to go ahead and finish. During these times he worked at many things. He paint- ed his neighbor’s barns, cut corn and drove a team to grade the roadbed of a railroad. He taught school when he was seventeen and -played a horn in the village brass band. ‘‘But after he had a try at many things he still longed to be a news- paper man, and at odd times he work- ed in the little printing office. ' He learned to set type by hand and later to run a linotype machine, which is used today in setting one line of newspaper type at once. ‘In fact he learned from the ground up every- thing there was to know about a newspaper and to this day he carries in his pocket a ‘luck piece’ which is nothing more or less than the .old|, printer’s rule he used years ago when, he was setting type, ““All.of Senator Harding’s newspa- per ambitions were realized, for he finally became the owner and pub- lisher of the Marion, Ohio, ‘Star’. The ‘Star’ is his pet. When Warren was nineteen his father moved to Marion, where the ‘Star’ was a 'struggling daily paper in a town of about four thousand people. Warren could tHink of nothing else but that he wanted toown that paper. His father finally ‘helped him take it over and then fol- lowed months and months of struggle and hard work to keep it going. At times he had to do everything setting the type to writing the newc and printing the paper on a press that-had to be turned by hand. But that story is too long to tell tonight. The result of his hard work has been that the. ‘Star’ today is.a big money- making plant and could not be bought for any price. There are more than thirty thousand people in Marion today and the ‘Star’ has a larger circulation than any other newspaper in a city of that size in the ‘Middle West. “I" will tell you something that happened in the oftice of that paper one New Year’s morning that shows the character of our next President. A friend entered the office and found the Senator making up the forms of the paper. ‘A great Senator you are,’ said the visitor. ‘I'd be a great Sena- torif I dldn’t know anythln; else,’ he ({ XTRAVAGANCE has revpuefi. ‘You aee, thls is a holiday, and we want to go to press as early|’ as possible and. let the boys get out and-enjoy themselves; so I am just lending a helping hand.’ And when he went upstairs to his. office the press ‘in' the basement was heard to stop. Jumping up, Senator Harding rushed to the basement, found the trouble that had stopped the press, repaired it and the wheels began to move again. That shows how he has mastered the details of everything he goes Into. No matter what it is, he is not content until he knows all about it. It was the same way with his first automobile. He would not rest until ‘he could make all the repairs needed on the road and drive it as well as & chauffeur. “Now kiddies, it's gettig late and I can’t tell you more tonight. Next week I will start where I have left oft 'and tell you more about the Iife and work of our next president, War- ren G. Harding.” EGYPT'S BOOK OF THE DEAD "Contents Throw lnuumng LIQM on +:' the Morals of the People of That Anclent Period. “Book of the Dead,” more properly called the k of the Manifestation of Light is the name of the most fa- mous book of the anclent Egyptians, ac- cording to the Detroit News.
