Huge, low-set Thin neck, Bitt BRYAN ANO THE PATIENT BEAST Tenth President (1790-1862)Long, wedge-shaped face. ears, crooked mouth. Deep-set, dark eyes; long wavy hair. angular figure. HE eleven-year-old son of a Virginia Judge was tired of being whipped. T His schoolmaster, John McMurdo, beat him unmercifully on every possible occasion. So the boy—John Tyler—stirred his schoolmates to revolution. Next time McMurdo called Tyler up to the desk to be | flogged, the lad leaped at the master’s throat. At this signal every other | boy in the room flung himself on McMurdo, bearing the astonished teacher to the floor by sheer weight of numbers. Then Tyler and the rest tied the | man hand and foot, rolled him into a corner of the schoolroom, went out and locked the door, leaving him there. And there the unfortunate Mo- Muro stayed till night, when a passer! along the lonely country road heard his groans and set him free. McMurdo hurried to Judge Tyler, father of the Ittle ringleader, with his grievence. All the satisfaction the Judge worl give him was to repeat Virginia's motto, “Sic Semper Tyrannig® | (“So be it always to tyrants!") After he left school, John Tyler went through Wiliam and Mary Col- | lege, where, like Jefferson, he divided his time pretty evenly between study, | and violin playing. He took a law course and mastered {t so quickly that ‘he was admitted to the bar in 1809, when only eighteen years old. Of our first ten Presidents, elght were lawyers. Of the whole twenty-six, the law- yers number nineteen. At twenty-one Tyler was a member of the Virginia Legislature and at once made his presence felt there by a line of aggressive |conduct more or jess in keeping with his earlier dealings with the luckless McMurdo. At twenty-three he married and a week or two later went to war, as captain of militia. His regiment's duties consisted in guarding Richmond, Va., from British attack. As the British showed no signs of marching on Richmond, Tyler returned, after one month's service, to his | Legislative work. | Three years later he went to Congress that belleved in strict obedience to the Cor tinued to fis 6 ; Early i HUGHES and THe ANT!
