anticipation of the event. Yale will try

[coPYRIGHT, 1911

No president for many years, not ono
since the few days Of Garfield, has
walked so much as Mr.. Harrison does.
He goes out alone everywhere, not only
on the busy avenues, but picking his
way through back streets and courts
where few go. Being demonstrated
with lately on recklcssly exposing him
self, he laughed and said: "I have no

Upon you the necessity of with
holding my namc from publication. 1t
must be awful to be scalped.
Having thus run hastily over my
public services, turn TO my no less
melancholy private career. It has been
my custom to regulate all my decisions
by tossing up cent. This desire to
submit everything to the nrbitramcnt
of chance invariably characterizes tho
hoodoo. The moro certain he Is that
luck is against him, the moro easily he
can be induced to make his life q game
of poker wherein he continually stakes
his happiness on oobtailed flush, and
gets called down.
Among my other misfortunes fell in
love, Under ordinary conditions such
an event would have been the greatest
Of blessings, but for hoodoo to full in
love is to invite destruction TO descend
not only upon himself but upon the
innocent victim of his affections. The
young lady who had won my heart Yves
worthy of q better fate.
At first she did not look kindly upon
me, for my exterior Is not calculated to
charm the eye. am as graceful as
two-wcelss-old calf. and have the same
distressing habit of falling over my own
feet. saw that could never win her
and yet did not cease to regard her
with respectful tenderness, and deep
interest in her welfare earnestly
hoped that she would meet some better
man than was, and learn to love him,
and be happy.
just here was where the hoodoo be-
gan to take hold. The render must I'M
dcrstand that this baleful influence is
eXerted only over those for whom it's
possessor has kindly feelings, and the
more anxious he is that good should be-
fall them, the more persistently arc
they haunted by tho spcctcr Of hard
luck. Thus in my love affair, as soon
us reached thnt pinnacle of unsclflsh
devotion where l could sincerely hope
that she would escape the misfortune of
loving me, the hoodoo began TO do it's
melancholy Office, and her heart warmed
to me. For her own good, 1 cndeav-
ored to discourage this growing affec-
ton, and, of course, the fate which al
ways thwarts my designs was against
me here. In n few short weeks could
not help seeing that her heart was

Joined the Chicago committee on the

During these years my small patri-
mony had been slowly melting away.
My own efforts hud lurgely contributed
to lessen it, and saw poverty staring
me in the face. My only expectations
were conferred in an aged relative who
lived in New Jersey, but who, in other
matters, was reputed to be well off.
He had made will in my favor, as an
inducement to longevity. In this docu-
ment was made the sole heir on the
condition that I should inherit the New
