THE PRESIDENTS GRANDFATHER.
story Of the Rev. Aaron Cieveland-tDt
n Lover of Democrats.

~
The following story is told of the Rev.
Aaron Cleveland, the Presidents grandfather.
Tho fine old gentleman was born at Haddam.
Connecticut, February 3, IVA. Mr.. Glove
land WIS a Federalist Of the school OF jag
and Hamilton, whom he supported with more
than ordinary zeal, and perhaps not without
some OF the prejudice which ranked all
Jeffersonans VIII French fatalists and In
adels.
Many stories are told illustrating his power
OF repartee; among them is the following;
On horseback one day, Mr.. Cleveland was
riding from Middletown TO Durham. little
stream bounded the limits Of the townships.
He halted to water his horse; meanwhile,
Young man, having come from the opposite
direction, drew rein SO suddenly us to render
the water by disturbance unfit to serve as
drink.
GOOD morning, Mr.. Minister" said the
youth.
Good morning, Mr.. Democrat" replied
the reverend gentleman.
"And pray why did you take me for a
Democrat7" queried the young man.
pray why did you tako me fora ministerT"
| reloined Mr.. Cleveland.
"oh," said the other, "tiat Is plain enough
by your dress"
"And that you are Democrat is plain
enough by your address" was the retort OF
the preacher.
While visiting in New Haven, Conn, Mr..
Cleveland died suddenly September 81, 1915.
His remains were inferred in a cemetery in
that city. His inheritance was a much be-
loved respected and stainless name
The man OF whom We are speaking must
not be mistaken for his father the great
grandfather OF President Cleveland, although
each was called Aaron, and both were min
listers OF the gospel The elder became a
resident of Halifax the year subsequent to
the founding Of that city. He there es-
tablished what was known rs "Mather's
Church." so called after the great Now
England divine OF that name. His passionate
continued five years. During that period he
founded q church library. Many OF the
volumes were his gift. The library is still IL
existence, and number OF the books con
tanning his autograph presentations may still
be seen.
A Scottish preacher succeeded Mr.. cleve
land and the society has since that date beer
known as "St. Mathews" 1t was the frs
organized Presbyterian Church in the British
lower provinces. To-day II is the fashionable
church OF that denomination in Halifax
The Word is preached from the old-fashioneC
box-like pulpit to which the minister ascendi
by two long winding stairways. The pew
are, as in ancient time, padded Throughout
with scarlet. and the British "red coats

continually involve new questions, Not the
lehst OF these before the world to-day is that
OF the future relation between tho sexes not

confessed that heretofore, even In the most
civilized countries, tho conduct Of women has
been under an iron restraint. Agrcater free

Is whether unthlnking women may not regard
IA a license to excess the freedom that should
have boon thoirs from the beginning. 1t is
unnecessary to sound note Of warning in
this matter to the women who have done 30
much for their own emancipation but We
hold that with every stop in tho liberation
the women who are better informed should
instruct their loss fortunate sisters In the
