Mr.. Miller was asked what became Of all
| the money the General had made from his
practice and said.
SHE gives ii away. You see there was a
/ large family. two or three brothers and
| several sisters, some living and some dead,
now, but all with families. They have de-
| pended upon the General to great extent.
/ Then while his father lived he gave good
deal Of money TO help him along. Besides
that he Is one Of the first called on when aid
Is needed for church or other benevolent
purposes. | never knew man in his posi-
| tiOn 10 give more liberaly. He has no
capacity for accumulating money. He
charges smaller fees than most lawyers OF
| his standing, and when he does get lot OF
money he seems TO think 1t Is excellent
stuff to use or give away but don't know
how 10 hold on to IT, He Is In this like old
Joe Mcdonald, whose partners have grown
rich from the profit of the firm, but none OF

A leading Democratic politician, when

property wouldn't bring over $4,000 or 500

was always in his pew on Sunday, unless
absent from the city or sick. He was also
faithful attendant at the weekly prayer
meetings. Before he went TO the Senate he
was the teacher Of the Bible class. and was
very successful and popular as such. DIR.
Haines said that ex-Postmaster HallOwell
was one Of his students then. Afterward the
| Senator gave the Post Office to another man,
and the relations between pupil and teacher
have since been somewhat stained. Before
he went to the war, young Harrison was
superintendent Of the Sunday school. Mrs
Harrison had charge OF the infant depart
