GENERAL HARRISON.
In 1891, William Henry Harrison.
then in his 10Th year. Was appointed an
ensign in The army By Washington. Al
that time. The whole north. western frontier
d The United States wss overrun by
hostile Indians. Ever since The close OF
the revolutionary war. The torch and The
,omaha~k and The scalping. knife had been
busily and fatally employed on our borders
--msny expeditions had been sent ous,
but had been defeated hy these tribes,
equally rems,ss.ble Tor their bravery and
sklll--and the lnss We had sustained was
estimated al more Than fifteen hundred
men.
The generous heart Of Harrison took
fire al the suderings inflicted on his 'coun.
Hymen. and leaving safe and comfor,.
able home. aud abandoning The study oI
. profession by which he was preparing
10 win his way 10 fame and opulence, he
fastened 10 the back woods 10 ningle ia

giving an accoun, Of The battle. says, tha
lie rendered " The most essential service, .
: communicating his orders ia every lirec

,ill 1907. when. finding there was No
longer probability OF active service in
the field, be threw up his commission
and was shortly afterwards sppointe,
+. Secretary and Lieutenant Go, ernor "a

) embracing al that vas, tract Of country
: y ing north ives, OF the Ohio river. The
succeeding year. BY vote nearly unani

3 territory in Congress. MISUNDERSTANDING
his youth. and thai The House Of Repre-,
/ senlalives had al that time many eminent
men smongs, its members, Harrison soon
} attained reputation and acquired general

into the hands of capitalists and specu
