KEEP UP TRADITIONS Aged Father With His Two Dis- ices faced the casket at the head. ‘‘Some one gave a signal and the Trinity Baptist choir began singing the old hymn, so dear to Mr. Hard- ing, ‘Lead Kindly Light,’ amid the encireling gloom. “Then reverently the word of God was read, telling of that glorious city where there is no sorrow, no sighing, no pain, nor tears, no death, no part- ing. Then the prayer asking for the mercy and comfort of the Saviour. “As the prayer ended, Mrs. Hard- ing was heard-to say a fervent ‘amen’ as though she too believed that God's Grace was sufficient to meet her time of need. ““The strains of ‘Nearer My God to Thee' came from the choir, hidden behind a nearby clump of bushes. “Then ‘taps’ were sounded. The casket was carried into the vault. “Mrs. Harding entered to spend a last moment with her beloved dead. President and Mrs. Coolidge followed for a moment. Then the iron gates were closed. “The members of the funeral party entered the waiting automobiles, fol- lowing President Coolidge according to their rank,.and the funeral cor- tege again wound its way out of the beautiful cemetery, leaving there the nation’s beloved dead to sleep until the morning of’the resurrection."

Old friends and neighbors of Mr. Harding today .congregated to talk over the events of a life time,; Each and every feature was gone over in detail. Manv were the stories re- lated. /i One old friend of the Harding fam- ily gave a vivid description of the in- timate and dramatic scene in the living room at Dr. Harding's home yesterday afternoon when President Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft and other high government officials met In the, few brief moments before the funeral procession started for the cemetery. No newspaper writers were present to record the scene to posterity. “It was 1 p. m.,” he told the As- sociated Press. ‘The line from early morning had been flling through to lcok on the dead president’'s face for _a last ime, was stopped by the up- iifted arms of a soldier on gnard at the door. Thousands in the line were disappointed after hours of waiting. “A hush settled over the roomse that had heard for two days the tramping feet of thousands. and Mrs. Coolidge en- tered, followed by Chief Justice Taft, ‘Gen. Pershing, members of the cabi- net, Ambassador Harvey, Speaker Gil- lett, Gov. Donahey and army and navy officials of high rank in their bright uniforms, Bishop William F. Anderson of the Methodist church and the Rev. Dr. Jesse Swank and Rev. George L. Landis, who were to officiate at the cemetery wers pres- ent. The gathering formed a semi- cirele in the quiet room and all plain- ly showed their great grief. “President Harding’s father, Dr. ‘George T. Harding with his wife en- tered with Secretary George Chris- “tion and were introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge and the other mem- bers of the assemblage. They retired and in a few minutes Secretary Chris- tion reappeared with Mrs., Harding, the widow, leaning on his arm. Greets New President “Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, arose to greet Mrs. Harding. “ “Mr. President, I greet you,’ said Mprs. Harding in a clear distinct yoice, as she held out her hand to thé€ man | who succeeded her husband. ‘““Then, turning to Mrs. Coolidge, she wished her success as the new mistress of the White House. “Bhe next greeted Chief Justice Taft and Attorney General Daugherty and when Secretary Hughes stretched out kis hand she grasped it and said ‘Mr. Secretary.’ She could say no more. Tears fllled the eyes of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Taft. Tears filled the eyes of Mrs. Harding. “Quickly recovering, Mrs. Harding greeted the others saying, ‘T cannot| talk to you, but I could not think of having you enter this home without taking each of you by the hand.' ‘““There was deep silence as Mrs. Harding retired and then the voice of a minister thanked God for the work | of the late president and invoked the Divine blessing on the mourning com- pany. The casket was taken out, President Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft, Secretary Hughes and the others fol- lowing.” Pictures the Funeral The relator, continuing, pictured the funeral procession and the serv- lces at the cemetery from the view- WHEN LINCOLN WENT BACK TO SPRINGFIELD Court Supplies Strap to Chastize obedient Sons. London, Aug. 11.—A Chinese fath- er's right to chastize disobedient and unjust sons is illustrated. by a case in the civil court of Wel-hai-wel, and mentioned in the annual report of that colony. Two sons had attempted to deprive their aged parent of property reserved for his personal use after the re- mainder of his belongings had been divided. Asked in court why he had not punished the offenders for their greed, the father replied that he was not strong enough But as the unfilial sons, who are both over 40 years of age, now ap- peared submissive before the magis- trate, the parent gladly seized the op- portunity to administer the overdue correction with a strap supplied to him in court. The sons took the medicine for their moral health with- out a murmur, while the old man was delighted. The marriage of Madeline L.
