\\ — Five Minyte Chats on Our Presidents By JAMES MORGAN (Copyrighat, 1920, by James Morgan.) THE SECOND HARRISON & 1833—August 20, Benjamin Har- rison, born at North Bend, Ohio. ] 1852—Graduated from Miami col- lege, Ohio. 1861-66—Colonel and brevetted \ brigadier general in the Civil war. 1881.7—In the 'United. States sen- a ate. 1888—Elected president. »1689—March 4, inaugurated the twenty-third president, at the age of fifty-five. | '1892—Defeated for re-election. 1901—March 13, death of Ben- Jjamin Harrison at Indian- apolis, aged sixty-seven. 2] ENJAMIN HARRISON’S adminis- tration proved to be only an in- ‘termission between the two acts of the ‘Cleveland drama, History gives but & passing glance at the one president ; iwhose predecessor became his success- jor, who had to give up the presidential ‘chair to the man he took it from. Although Harrison had more brains ithan Cleveland, Cleveland had a larger afure, and that i}. what counts most the leadership of men. Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison ‘was the grandson of a president, in ‘whose house he was born, his father was poor and the boy was brought up plainly. Graduating from a small Ohio col- lege, Harrison married at twenty the | ., Jjust tryin® t' be economical and girl to whom he engaged himself at eighteen, and they went to housekeep- ing in a little three-room cottage in Indianapolis. He was not admitted to 'the bar until after his marriage, and the first money he ever made was as a court crier at $2.50 a day. Later on he helped out his lean practice with his salary as clerk of the supreme court of the state. Then came the I(!lvll war, in which he served gallantly ‘as a colonel and marched with Sher- Benjamin Harrison. to the sea. Afterward he rose m high and prosperous rank in the fpractice of law. The only political office Harrison r held before his election to the déncy was a seat in the senate. eated for re-election to that body n the year before he was elected pres- #dent, he left Washington with no ithought that he would soon return as esident-elect, and he frankly de- bed himself as “a dead duck.” N The only ‘tandidate that the rank d file of the Republicins wanted to inate in 1888 was Blaine. But he not well, and he refused to make contest for the nomination. At last cabled from Scotland: - “Take Har- n,” And the convention indiffer- tly took him. ! The more notable events of the Har- administration—the McKinley act; the silver act, which more doubled the purchase of that by the treasury; the Sherman jw on the subject of trusts; the de- dent pension act, and the first Pan- can congress—hardly belong in [this little story, because none of them Eulnlted with the president himself. e did not rise to leadership, and con- took the reins.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1920 | | FEISAL HAS CAUSTIC TONGUE: Arabian Potentate’s Comments on Eu- ropean Men and Measures Inter. esting in the Extreme. The oriental tact and personal charm of Emir Feisal did much to win friends for the Arablan cause in Paris. No one ever came away from him in an angry wood. The emir was very witty and many stories are told of his clever ; retorts to acqualntances In Paris. On one occasion a correspondent asked him to give his opinion of modern . Statesmen as a result of his acquain- tance with them at the peace confer- ence. He replied, “They are like mod- ern paintings. They should be hung in a gallery and be viewed from a dis- tance.” the council of ten, M. Pichon referred ' to the claims of France in Syria, i i 1 i 1l 2 { i | neighborhood. which be said were based on the Cru- sades. Emir Feisal turned towsrd him and inquired mildly, I am not a great student of history, but would you ¥ind- ly tell me which oune of us wcn the Crusades.” Mr. Balfour once tried to fina out what Emir Feisal thought of the Brit- ish government. He succeeded. *“It reminds me of a caravan in the des- ert. You see an impressive string of dromedaries in the distance trekLing single file across the shifting sands. When you first overtake them, you ob- serve that the last camel is tied to the tail of the next in line. When you reach the head of the column, you find that a little donkey Is leading the whole string.”—Asia Magazine. HAD CAMOUFLAGE DOWN FINE Youth’s Many and Varied Reasons for Getting Out of Task of Polishing His Shoes. “No, mother, it isn’t that I'm lazy that I don’t want to polish my shoes,” sald Young Nick, the boy Machiavelll, help you an’ dad save wmoney. If I wuz to polish my shoes it *ud show up my ole stockins s0's I'd hatfter put on clean ones an’ if I did that I'd hafter brush my clothes. “An’ you know, mother, 1 gotter lot i of bad spots in my pants an’ on my coat, and if I brushed 'em the spots would stand out so's you'd just hafter buy me a new suit. s “T been studyin’ camouflage, mother, nice neutral tint that nobody scarcely notices—except you, mother, and you get too close. But just as I am, moth- er, I'm not hardly visible to the naked eye at all, and it's awful convenient. “Besides, it saves money, you see, a8 I been tellin’ you. No'm, I don’t dast wash my face and hands too hard, be- cause they’d be so bright an’ shiny they’d call attention to my grease spots. “Yes'm, I'll clean all up, if you say so, of course, but 1 don’t think you oughter discourage me when I'm trying to help you save money. Besides, there’s Bill callin’ me now, apn’ if I wuz to clean up I'd go right out and get dirty again. Yes'm, I promise, When I come in I will. Awri, Bill, 'm comin’ I"—Chicago News. Rats Overrun English Town, Millions of rats are overunning Abertillery (Monmouth), England, and While the congrega- tion was leaving a Baptist church in ‘Pillery street on a recent Sunday an army of rats ran among them. One woman collapsed. All means have heen used, but the rats have not only survived, but also thrived. The medi- cal officer of health, Dr. Bailie Smith, says the rats are of two kinds—brown i and black. The black rats, as a rule, keep to the sewers, but the brown rats climb anything—telegraph poles and raln and gas pipes. They swarm everywhere. It was suggested to the Abertillery district council that ex- pert rat destroyers should be employ- ed, but local staff having stated that they could do better than the experts, the matter has been left to them with discretionary power to call in help if necessary. Play Ground in Tiers, The first municipal play ground of Czecho-Slovakia, in Prague, occuplesa high hill which is terraced off, supply- |: ing space at the top for tennis courts and ball grounds; on a lower terrace a pavilion, band stand and open-air theater, on a still lower tier a running track, and farther down the children’s grounds, with sand_ pile, ‘wadlig ‘pool and swings. In ‘this latter 'section there are pavilions where mothers can sit and rest or sew as they watch the children. This first play ground for children is a co-operative effort of the Czech government and the American “Y” which will eventually be entirely under government management. At present the city has supplied the place, the Y. M. C. A. is paying for the equip- ment and the Y. W. Q. A. has given the leadership. Charts for smaller play places for other parta of the city are being prepared. Artificial 8ilk Improved. A new process has been developed whereby the same raw material (wood cellulose) Is converted into an imita- tion silk which, when woven into cloth, has remarkable brilliancy and durabiity, with a “feel” like that of real sflk.
