a cane. Her face is round yet, and not so
scanned and wrinkled as would be ex-

learned that had known her son she was
glad, saying: Il am always happy to see
some one who has known Whitelaw,o or been

''Yes, l am very old, far past the Bibles

March, and you see in me a monument of

Very naturally the latest honor conferred
upon her son was mentioned and she was
more glad to know that had witnessed the
scenes attending his nomination, and could
tell her Of il. Then, as / am told is her
custom, she betrayed no enthusiastic pride
over her sons success, but went on 70 say:
II am glad he was nominated, yet / always
think those who are honored so greatly
have a greater responsibility 70 God.
WhiteIaw has always been lucky man
since he was very young. God has been
very good 70 him, for almost since he was

Then she took up the talk about the old
house and her early life with the enthusi-
asn OF a child, although she is byRomeans
childish because Of her years. We went
into the low ceiling parlor the room which
is sixty years old, with its old fashioned

wIIrTFIAw REID ut TIE AGE OF EISEYEKH.
The Reid farm presents pretty picture.
It is truly the home Of a gentleman fermor,
as the well kept fences and well trimmed
trees indicate. Whitelaw is great lover
of trees, is intensely interested in forestry.
and at every visit sets out OF orders new
trees in different spots, where sixty years
ago his fathers AK was cutting down the
grand old monarchs Of the forest.
When he proposed the new mansion the
old mother demurred. She was eighty years
old. and she thought the old home in which
she had lived for sixty years was good
enough for the few years yet allotted TO
her on earth. But the farm had become
Whitelaw's property; and he had his way.
So the plans were made to build around
the main part Of the old homestead and
preserve It, az Mrs Garfield did VIXEN She
erected such q grand palace at Mentor.
But you cannot tell from the outside OF
this Reid mansion where the old building
stands, so completely has the exterior been
covered over with artistic ornament. The
design was made by a New York archi-
tect. but the materials were all bought IN
Cedarville, save the roof tiles, and they
were bought in Europe. They give the
house a striking appearance when seen
from a distance, reminding the visitor OF
the famous "Red Top" home once owned
by President Cleveland near Washington.
As will be seen in the picture, a cedar
tree is very close 10 the porch-in fact, the
porch was almost built around it. This
tree was planted by Mrs. Reid herself when
Whitelaw was mere baby 1t was called
"Wbitelaw's tree" and both grew up to-
gether When the carpenters were prepar-
ing to remodel the old place they were
about TO cut this tree out Of the way. The
old mother vetoed that proposition and the
tree still stands.
At the right Of the main entrance is the
old well which her husband dug years ago
after "witching" for water, as was The
custom. The old and new part are Sep
arated by spacious hallway, opening on
both front aud back. 1t is really large
reception room, and is full of furniture,

But there were SO many Reds by the name

of his name years ago, and wealways called

And so the old mother talked on, forget

asn about olden times and her success

his face, although Whitelaw was then
sporting his first mustache, such as it
was"
On the wall near by was a very old
framed family record, Of the kind quite
common 90 and 100 years ago. It tells that
Robert Charlton Reid was born on May
81. 1895: Marian Whitelaw Reid. March Is,
1904: that they were married Nov. %. 1926,

was the only daughter, who married con
