The inability of the President and Vice
President, the Secretary Of state sue
ceeds If the Nice-President dies, the
Secretary of State steps into his office
And if there be no Secretary OF State
at that time the Secretary OF the
Treasury acts for him.
Thus it has been for some time reck-
Dned in Washington that in case OF a
vacancy in the Vice-President's chair
Secretary of State John Hay would be
Vice President.
1t is possible by Presidential appoint
ment to change this, but for a time the
Secretary of State acts as the Vice
Presidents successor

Of letters of the century is John Hay,
who started out as a Westernc-. He
was born in Indiana in 1888, which
makes him SiXty-One years old, though
he looks great deal younger, and in
1861, when the war broke out, he was
practising law in Illinois.
After assisting the war President
and working in Washington Mr.. Hay
went to New York and there did staff
work on The Tribune For five years
ie ground out copy, steadily rising from
4 small task to the position Of editor
n-chief.
IN CLEVELAND.
There comes a tide in the affairs of
all men which, taken in the food, may
lead on to fortune. The tide in the
affairs of John Hay arrived in 1919,
when ne went to Cleveland and there
took an active part in the Presidential
canvass of 1876
In Cleveland lived the wealthy, good
and eccentric old man, Amasa Stone,
and John Hay became an admirer of
he beautiful Miss Stone, who was one
IF the bellies of Cleveland society. He
sourted and won her and he also won
the father-in-law, for Amasa Stone
grew to love John Hay as though he
we're his own son. He kept him in
cleveland, putting him upon his own
after. he willed his son-in-law a suffi-
sient amount of money to make him
millionaire
Meanwhile Mr.. Hay had been writing,

Of John Hay Which the Unexpected
Happened.

The elder Miss Hay is what is known
as new girl She writes and is ath-
letic, but she is also quite a society
girl, for she dances and enjoys her
chances to the utmost.
Not long ago she wrote this poem:
Sigh not for love, the ways of love are
dark.
Sweet child. hold up the hollow of your
hand
And catch the sparks that hutter from
the stars
See how the late sky spreads its flush
ing bars;
They are dead roses from your own

and bark
And you shall know how morning sheds

they were at work, the Kaffirs, the Fin
go and BasutO wOrkmen. all with their
picks, hammering into the rock and
bringing down the Jumps, small and
large, though none of them Of very
great size.
Accustomed to the visits of the over
Seers and to the presence of detectives,
they took very little notice OF a stran-
ger ana scarcely an eye was lied as
we went on with our tour of inspection.
AS they hammered off the Jumps they
loaded them into little trucks, which,
when they We're filed, were wheeled
over to the buckets and enptied. The
little trucks were wheeled back and the
work of TelOading began
The guide explained that the buckets
were hOisted by engines which dumped

cargo to the grounds used for storing
the earth and rock before washing
This was practically the same process
I had beheld before coming into the
mine, but owing to the small amount
of work which is being done, the buck

in place of the trOlleyS there are CARTS
waiting for the buckets.
So this was the great Kimberley
mine! The largest diamond mine in
the world, the great mine in which all
the big diamond companies of South
Africa have consolidated, and given up
their separate interests and their claims
have gone together along scientific lines
in one great hunt for the shining stone.
Yet it is doubtful if the people who
work in the mines understand how
great a fortune they are handling; and
why should they? for the Jumps of
earth are black and almost repulsiVe
and there is not a glitter from them.
AS the Kaffirs, for nearly all the work
men are kaffirs, fill the buckets, they

It was claimed when Anasa stone
selected John Hay for a sOn-in-laW that
he had Oeen guilty of spelling good
man and an able lawyer. With plenty
of money young Hay found it unneces-
sary to work at the law and not essen
t1al that he should closely follow pom

Gradually with his money and with
