Remarkable coincidences are noted }. . in the lives of Abraham Lincoln, B X president of the union, and Jefferson [/ Davis, president of the confederacy. Both were born in Kentucky, Davis side of the house and helped them- selves to their big new touring car. The marauders experienced some | trouble in ‘starting the car, but fi- { nally sailed into the stone wall which surrounds the lawn of the Wood ! home, with the result that one of the heavy stone-copings wa$ knocked off. Mrs. W. A. Woodard, who lives next door at 3216 Woolworth avenue, was awakened by the rioise and telephoned to Dr. and Mrs. Wood as soon as pos- sible, but the car thieves had made their getaway. ‘ Dr. Wood ‘called in the police and chase was given. At 9 o’'clock irpthe | morning the car was discovered about a mile from the house. The joyriders had been unfamiliar with the working of the car and when the engine went® dead on them they had been unable to mix ajr and gas in %such fashion as to start the car. In spite of its collision with the stone wall the car was very little injured. in 1808 and Lincoln in 1809. Both re- moved from that state in their child- hood, Lincoln to the" northwest, Davis to the southwest. Both were ~in the Black Hawk war, Lincoln as captain of volunteers and Davis as second lieutenant of regulars. They began their political careers in the h same year, 1844, Lincoln as a presi- I dential elector for Clay and Davis K for Polk. They were elected to con- ggess in consecutive years, 1845 and | 846. Davis became president of the confederacy February 8, 1861, and Lincoln became president, of the union March 4, 1861. 1 ‘ Presidential Term. ) The presidential term' of. four years was fixed by the constitutiopal con- { vention. The first report of the com- mittee there favored a term of seven years without eligibility for re-elec tion. In debate, various terms from' “during good behavior” to twenty years were favored. The limit to four years was finally adopted. / The same convention debated titles ) for the president, some favoring “His Excellency” and others “His High- ness.” Finally it was decided that “it is not proper to annex any style or title other than that expressed in the | constitution,” and therefore the ad- dress of the president is simply “The President of the United States.” Fay Templeton Comes To Orpheum Shortly Word has been reccived at .the | Orpheum that Fay Templeton comes i\ to that theater as the stellar attrac- , & ‘ tion for the week of |November 12. { Miss Templeton will present a reper- / toire of song sketches written ex- {)‘rcssly for her by Junie McCree.
