BES HARRIsoSs BIRTHPLACE.

Ben Harrison lived in this country
place and was seven years old when his
grandfather was elected President. But
his education was cared for by his father,
John Scott Harrison, who had himself
been governor OF the mort hweStern terri
tory and member Of congress, and at
the age Of 1G-an are when the tastes,
the intellectual culture and the social
bearing are principally forned-the youth
was entered at the Miami university. at
oxford, Ohio. Here he spent two years,
being graduated at IS. Here also in this
atmosphere Of study Harrison met his
wife, d daughter Of Dr.. Scott, the pro-
fessor Of chemistry at the university.
Mrs Harrison bears evidence CT her early
surroundings. She IS a woman of rare
culture and her attaInrnenJs are manifest
from the fact Of her being q prominent
and active member of the Ladies Literary
society Of Indianapolis. She is also ez-
tremeIy fond Of painting and has done
some excellent work on china herself. A
great deal OF her attention is given to the
Indianapolis Orphans home.
At p years of age, with q profession,
/ $500 and c wife. Harrison went to Indianap-
OILS and swung out his sign. The house in
which the young couple first lived in III
diauapolis IS still standing. It was then
ca the outskirts Of the town, but is now
near the center Of large city. Il is little
I one story frame building with three rooms.
There. in 1851, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison be-
gan % life Of love in cottage"
Senator Harrison has told how ne
got his first case. The incident was
given to the correspondent of The Phila-
dsl7iia Press while riding b. this house
with the senator.

Fright in front Of that door," be said,
az received my first lawyers fee. l. was
the first Sunday in our new homo, and
hal walked out on the sidewalk III the
afternoon and was standing there looking
with some pride at the front Of the house
when a man clatte-ed up on horseback.
He quickly made known his errand. i
nan had been arrested az CleTmont, about
eight miles from here, on the charge of
obC2ining money under false pTetenses.
The rider wished me to appear before the
justice Of the peace there for the prosecu-
ton l agreed 10 do so. and he handed
me a FIVE dollar gold piece. 1t was not an
enormous fee, but | was glad to have 1t.
The sum was hardly large enough to war
rant buggy. so the next morning rode
to Clermont on the back of pony that l
hired 1t 3 stable. | came back home that
night pretty well cE2fed, but l had sue
ceeded in what l went for.
Just as Harrison was beginning TO get
d start AT the law the way came on, and
he was in the field winning military lau-
rels, while lie was missing the opportunity
TO win legal fees at home. This, and the
attention he has given to politics, includ-
Ing the time spent in the United States
senate. has kept Harrison a poor man.
Notwithstanding his success as a lawyer.
But he has gained that which Is better
than we2lth-cOnf0rt IN his home and the
spect and affection Of his neighbors.
