STORIES OF TINE DAY.


They were talking about having a
boom at Hardy, Ark. one fall during
the administration OF President Harri-
son. The town is situated on the beau
tiful Spring river. and has the Men,
phis road. The idea OF the boomers
was to make a resort of the place,
either for summer or winter pleasure
seekers. About the time the boom was
being planned the announcement was
made that Russell Harrison, the Presi-
dents son, was coming West and would
pass through Hardy on his way to
Kansas City. relates the eDtroit Free
Press. 1t was accordingly arranged
that speeches would be made while the
train stopped. not to speak OF an ova-
ton Of anvils and fireworks For some
reason the Harrison party did not pass
through Hardy as arranged, but it hap
pened. remarkably enough. that a pfi-
waite coach full Of the Memphis roads
officials was fastened to the north
bound train that reached Hardy about
40 o'clock in the afternoon. The
youngest member Of the party was Mr..
B. l.. Winehell, the assistant general
passenger agent Of the road. He was
then past 30. but every railroad man in
the country who knew Ben Winchell
would have said that he did not look
more than 20. Mr.. Winchell was stand
ing on the broad vesti6ule at the rear
of the private car as the train rolled
into Hardy. when deafening noise
ahead caused him to wonder II the en-.
CINE had blown up. He leaned over the
rail and looked forward. A great
crowd was gathered and anvils ana
cannons were being fired by the dozen.
The train stopped so that the crowd
was placed at the end of the private
car. Cheers were proposed and given
with a will, and shouts of There he
isl" "Hurrah for the Presidents son.'
and How young!" were heard on
every side. Then the cannons and an
wills were touched off again, and some
of the sky rockets and Roman candles
were fired OF in the face of the glarlng
afternoon sun.
Mr.. Winchell was dazed. He did not
understand the meaning Of it all. He
thought that they were advertising the
town, but he could not understand the
meaning of the shouts and exclama-
TONS Then it struck him that there
might be some important parsonage
in forward car. and he at once went
to look. The train started on before he
got through. when one OF the officials
who had gotten the hang of of the sit
uation met Winchell and rushed him
back.
Hang it, Ben." he shouted, 'go back
on the platform and bow-make q
speech-do something, for heavens
sake; you're the Presidents son."
Winchell didn't understand anything
about it. but. he went back on the plat
form and bowed and smiled until he
felt like an automaton. Then 1t was
explained to him. The people Of Hardy
were shocked to learn. next day. that
they had not seen the Presidents son
and they at once declared all boom
