tile Indian that night while he was
pacing the floor with the newborn.
It was to this house that Tecumseh
and his warriors came and, under an
elm tree, 300 yards from this house,
occurred that great conference be-
tween Tecumseh and Harrison, which
is part of American history. Almost
every brick and every timber is his
torical to some degree.
In 1901, when William Henry Harri-
son went to Vincennes, he recognized
the necessity of an official residence,
which would also serve as territorial
white House." an Indian fort and an
ammunition warehouse. The Indian
troubles were becoming serious. It
was the beginning of that crisis which
Tecumseh brought about, and which
closed with the battle of Tppecanoe.
It was erected to meet all of these re-
quirements. Though it has stood for
almost a century, it is probably the
most substantial building in Vincennes
today. It is by no means ante
dated in architecture. Harrison spared
no money to attain the ends which
time has proven were successful.
Every bit Of the material entering into
the construction was made or finished
BY hand. The brick were made one at
4 time by that method, and even the
laths were turned out that way. The

pushed him off the bench. Harrison
drew his saber and demanded an ex-
planation. Tecumseh, great on ready
reply, then drew that striking simile
between his act and that of the white
man pushing his people of their lands.
Here, too, Tecumseh threw himself on
the ground and, embracing it, avowed
that the sun was his father, the earth
his mother, and he would rather repose
in her bosom than to make the con-
cessions and betray his people. It was
highly dramatic.
The Harrisons left for Fort Harri-
son-Terre Haute-in 1911. Gen. Har-
rison was then en- route to meet Te-
cumseh in battle. The climax of this
move was Tippecanoe, which shat
tered the great Tecumseh conspiracy.
The organization of Illinois and Michi-
gan reduced Indiana Territory to its
present limits and the Harrisons went
to Corrydon, then made the seat OF
government. There are very few of the
old Harrison relics left. Probably the
most notable is his dress sword, which
is in the "Old Curiosity Shop in Terre
Haute.

Stevenson as q Burelar.

Edmond Gosse has written a paper on
"Stevenson's Relation with Children"
in Chambers Journal. In it he relates
a story of his youthful days, as mar
rated to himself by Stevenson. He was
still a little fellow when in the summer
holidays, after reading a number of
detective novels of bad kind, he was
passing one Sunday afternoon along
road in an Edinburgh suburb. There
he saw deserted house, furnished, but
without caretaker. It struck young
Stevenson that it would be a fine thing
to break into the house, which he ac-
cordingly did, roaming from room to
room, looking at books and pictures in
great excitement, until he thought he
heard noise in the garden. Terror
seized upon him as he imagined him
self handcuffed' and conveyed to prison
just as the church folks were returning
home. He burst into crying, then man
aged to creep out as he had come in

scaled the palisades which surrounded
the property.
On the first floor was the old council
chamber, a remarkable room, 25x30
feet In dimensions, with a thirteen
TOD ceiling. The original small win
dow panes are preserved. It is claimed
they were taken from the windows Of
an old building at Trenton, N j., and
through them no doubt the old colo
nists looked upon Hessians and the
colonial forces. In this large chamber
all of the territorial representatives
gathered. discussed and passed laws
which fell within their prescribed
rights: In the room right across the
corridor, Nancy Polk, niece of Presi-
dent Polk, and a great favorite in
Washington during his administration,
taught school for two or three years,
making the building seat of learning
as well as of administration. Recently
one of her pupils came back to look at
the room. The guest dining-room was
located Just behind the council cham
ber, and here William Henry Harrison
did honors on state occasions. Be-
sides the living quarters on the third
floor. there were three guest chambers.
The building overlooks the beautiful
Wabash. It was in one corner of Har-
rison's plantation Of 1000 acres which
he named My Plantation Grouseland.' y

RUBBER is GETTING SCARCE.
For That Reason Old Bicycle Tires Are
Being Made Over.

For That Reason Old Bicycle Tires Are
Being Made Over.
The popularity of bicycling has ere
ated great demand for rubber and as
a consequence the commodity is be-
coming scarce and the need of econ
omy in it's use is imperative. 1t may
not be generally known that the india
rubber dolls, animals and other toys
used by children in many cases began
their commercial existence in the form
of bicycle tires. All our india-rubber
toys come from Germany, and several
enterprising English shippers have
found that the shipment of old, worn
out tires to the German factories is
very profitable business. During the
past two years tons of old rubber, that
used formerly to be thrown away, or
remade into cheap doormats, have
been shipped to Germany, and sent
back transformed into elaborate and
gaudy squeaking dolls, elephants and
other toys. Though rubber is used for
wider variety of articles than any
other material, more rubber was used
last year in the manufacture of bicycle
tires than for any other purpose, and
the demand for rubber is now perma-
nently in excess of the supply. More
than 100000 pairs of tires were made
in England during the last season, and
it is impossible to make them of any
but the very best rubber.

The Most Interesting House Northwest Of the Ohio
to Be Restored to Its Former Glory.

The old Harrison home, which cost
ex-President, William Henry Harrison,
grandfather of Benjamin, $4,000, at
Viacennes, Ind, has passed into the
hands of E. S. Shepard for $4,000. Mr..
Shepard seems to appreciate the his
toric worth of the most interesting
residence northwest of the Ohio river,
ana is already restoring it to its old
time grace. This old home remained
in the hands of the Harrison family
until 1910, when it passed to William
Pigeon, who handed it down with his
estate to Flavius Pigeon, who in turn
was forced to sell it just before he
terminated his wild career in delirium
tremens. Since it passed out of the
hands of the Harrisons it has served
multitude of purposes, ranging from
a hotel kept by one CACTUS, to fold
for sheep in the winter.
Around this building, erected in 1904,
and then claiming the distinction Of
being the most pretentious building
west of the present state of Ohio,
centers most of the territorial history
of Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wis
consin, when all of that great area was
included in what is known as In
diana Territory" and presided over
by Governor Harrison. For several
years. it was not only the official resi-
dence and building of the territory, but
the ammunition storehouse as we'll. 1t
was in this house that the territorial
Representatives met. Here were enter
5tained Thomas Jefferson, Commodore
Perry and other illustrious lights of
American history. In the northwest
room John Scott Harrison, father of
ex-President BENJAMIN Harrison, was
born, and in shutter in this room is
one of the most interesting little

THE NAME STEWART.
What Is tho Correct Spelling Of the
Name?

What Is tho Correct Spelling Of the
Name7 -
At recent meeting OF the Clan
Stewart Society in Glasgow, Col John
Stewart of Ardvoirlich, who presided,
referring to the different ways OF spell
ing the clan name, said that the "dif-
ferent ways of spelling the name arose
either from accidental causes or other
well-def1ned reasons. The final letter
t. was substituted for the d. of the
original name Steward for the sake
Of euphony. The spelling of the name
Steuart was quite accidental, arising
probably from the illegibility of the
writing of some member; while the
spelling of Stuart was caused by Queen
Mary, on her return from France, US
ing the French spelling of her name, to
which she had been accustomed, and
many clansmen perpetuated the royal
spelling. But in whatever way they
spelt their name, they all came from
the original stock. Nor does this end
the matter, for it may be remembered
by many that the Earl of Galloway re-
fused to take part in the collection OF
the Stuart exhibition" in London in
1889, because the committee refused to
spell the name Stewart" as his lord
ship himself does. He maintained that
this was the only correct photography,
and held aloof from the exhibition
which disregarded this assertion. This,
however, seemed rather high-handed,
especially when we discover by refer
ence to historical documents that near-
ly all the famous people of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries spelt their
names in two or three different ways.
In short, there was no proper spell
ing" though Mary Queen of Scots al
ways wrote Stuart for the simple
reason that she was educated in France
and the French alphabet had no "w."
Earlier kings of her race spelt their
names "Steward," or "Stewart," or
Stuart" at the fancy of the moment
when they held the pen. We have near
ly thirty different ways on record of
spelling the surname of Stewart in
DA6lAon, Noo1lC, 4oAtA, AdIlA, 4IdAoA,
Spanish and Dutch, as follows: Stew
ard, Stewart, Stewart, Stuart, Stuard,
Steuarde, Steuard, Steuart, Steuert,
Stewort, Steort, Steubhart, Steubhartt,
Stiubhart, Steward, Stiurt, Stewart,
Sturgard, Stuyarde, Styward, Stuardus,
Estuard, Estuarza, Stivard, Stivardi.
1t is contended that "the right etymol-
ogy" is S-dew-ard-the Lord High, or
the High Lord-that is, the lord next
to the king in power.

proof as near as possible by packing
clay between the ceilings and the floors
and between the walls.
William Henry Harrison had twelve
children, and he had many subjects
who were little more than slaves. He
quartered the family, for the most part,
on the top floor, though all Of the
cooking was done in the cellar, and the
family dining room was there. The
cellar was principally used, however,
as territorial warehouse One room
was a great powder magazine, and in
it for several years were stored all Of
the territorial powder, bullets and flint
lock and smooth bore rifles and other
weapons of defense. In another Sec
tion of the cellar was the cell room, in
which the prisoners of state, slaves and
Indians were incarcerated. The sock
cts for the iron bars still remain, but
the bars have disappeared. Another
room was his wine cellar. The Harri-
sons we're good livers and were sur

other room there was mysterious

TIE OLD HARRISON HOME.

The yard was surrounded by high pail
sades, making the interior an Indian
fort. The house itself was originally
William Henry Harrison was seated on
this when Tecumseh arrived on that
memorable mission in 1909. Harrison
had been informed by his spies that Te-
cumseh was at last coming to confer
with him. 1t will be remembered that
there had been several passes between
the two great leaders on the point OF
this visit. Tecumseh, liking display
and desiring to make an imposing
showing, had proposed to make his
visit accompanied by his warriors.
Harrison feared Indian deception, and
he refused to receive him unless he
came as an individual. Tecumseh pro-
tested, then gave up the visit, but later
considered and, with seventy warriors,
started down the Wabash. Harrison
took precautionary steps to head of
trouble. The council chamber faces
the window. He secreted two full
companies of militia in the chamber.

the path they had little idea they we're
in range of 200 loaded rifles with only

Harrison had evidently studied his
bearing. He was seated on the porch
in his shirt sleeves, leisurely smoking
and reading. He did not see Tecum-
sch until he reached the porch, and
then he went down, shook hands and
invited him to the hospitality of the
house. Tecumseh maintained the dig
nified reserve of representative of an
offended people, and declined the in
vitation, informing Harrison that he
had brought his retinue, his tents and
his provender, that he came not to ask
favors or accept them, but to demand
the rights of his people. He said he
would pitch his tent lover under that
elm tree" This he did, and under it's
branches from Aug 10 to 20 occurred
that dramatic and historic conference.
It was within hearing distance of the
house, and Mrs. Harrison viewed most
of the proceedings from the porch. It
was during this conference that Te-
cumseh called Harrison a liar and

THE BOOBINGLES.

MY DEAR" said Mr.. Boobingle, ,glanc-
Ing up from his paper, Il remark a
considerable decline in the stock mar
ket. If this continues much longer,
you will have to do without your new
bonnet
Indeed. shall not, Mr.. Boobingle,"
re5olned his wife, "for the last four
years you have remarked the very same
thing at just this time when the spring
styles commenced to appear, ,and l have
made, unmade and remade my old hat
times enough. This time I must have

to hattery to gain his point; "and am
sure you never can find anything half

Mrs. Boobingle appeared touched by
tnls delicate compliment, remembered,
however, that she had been caught by
such remarks on several previous oc-
caslons, and resolved therefore to be
wary.
Thank you, my dear, for the CON-
pllment,' she replied, sweetly, 'but I
really think I can find a bonnet that
will look just as we'll and at the same
time be new. am sick and tired of

band, when you bought it you said it

spouse, "but we must change our ideas

monument the minister's wife wore

bingle, sarcastically "The price Of it
may have been high enough, but it
obstructed my view to such an extent
that I could not see the front part of
the church at all.'
Il hope I have better taste than
Mrs. Goodman" replied Mrs. Boobin-
gle, modestly. 1T really is pitiful the
way she dresses
How much do you think you would
need for hat that would suit your
ideas?' asked Mr. Boobingle, seemingly
submitting to the inevitable.
II think I could get along with s35,"
she responded, laying down her needle
