Honeyed Words Poured Into the Ex-

At the Home of His
Childhood.

NORTH VERNON, Ind, Oct. To-day
has been one of ovations for the chief
magistrate of the nation. Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana have joined in paying
MIN homage, and in the land Of Dixie the
native state Of President Harrison. Ii was
hardly more than daybreak when the
presidential train passed through New
port and Covington, but the president was
up and bowed acknowledgements TO the
bustling and enthusiastic Kentuckians
that crowded the depots as the train passed
through. Cincinnati was reached at 7 30
a. IN. Despite the early hour several
thousand people gathered at the Central
depot to greet the president. AT o'clock
the train pulled out. The principal
event of the day was yet to come.
Near North Bend, Ohio, the old Harrison
homestead was reached and the train
came TO a stop just at the house in which
Benjamin Harrison first saw the light,and
but few yards from the white shaft that
marks the tomb of his illustrious ances-
tor, ex-President William Henry Harr-
son. The occasion was not one for words
and as the president passed to the rear
platform he was unaccompanied. The
rest of the party delicately left him TO the
solemn memories that the scenes OF his
childhood and youth called forth. After
a brief stop the train passed on, but the
president was visibly affected by the
sights that brought So many tender men,
ories to his mind, and as the little town Of
Lawrenceburg was reached his voice was
heavy with emotion as he addressed the
crowd of neighbors and friends that
thronged to greet him.

and generously done by those who filled
our places fifty years ago. Now, for |
