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 great powder magazine, and in
1t for several years were stored all OF

weapons Of defense. In another sec

room was his wine cellar. The Harri-
sons were good livers and were sur
rounded by French settlers who were
experts at wine-making. From an
other room there was a mysterious
tunnel, which ran to the river bluffs,
some distance away. 1t was provided
as an avenue of escape in case the In
dams made a successful attack and

scaled the palisades which surrounded
the property.
On the first floor was the old council
chamber. a remarkable room, 25x3o
feet in dimensions, with thirteen
foot ceiling. The original small win
dow panes are preserved. 1t 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 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 lust behind the council cham
her. and here William Henry Harrison
did bopors 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 Grouseiand'

pushed him of the bench. Harrison
drew his saber and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Tecumseh, great on ready
reply, then drew that striking smile
between his act and that Of the white
man pushing hts people on their lands.
Here, too, Tecumseh threw himself on
the ground and, embracing 1t, 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.

DEAD BEATS
That Make Use of Hotels for Their
Private Business.


"You would be surprised" said a
hotel clerk the other night, ito know
how many schemers, fakirs, small pro-
moters and curbstone brokers use our
corridors and reading rooms as offices.
Tney make all their appointments here,
and when a prospective victim turns
up they head him into a quiet corner
and transact their business as COM
fortably as they could in suite in an
Office block. There's an old chap by
the door who has been using the house
as his own for several years, and to my
certain knowledge he has never spent
penny under its roof He has sew
eral agencies and patent rights, and
now and then he succeeds in getting q
farmer on the string. The countryman
supposes, of course. that he lives here,
and is duly impressed by his surround
ings. The old fellow takes him into
the writing room, and IL 1t isn't quiet
enough there he doesn't hesitate to ad-
Journ 20 one of the parlors. That's no
unusual case, either. During the fore
part OF last carnival week one of these
promoters actually took possession Of
a private parlor with couple Of ell
ents, and barred out a number of
guests until they could conclude their
conference. Formerly such gratuitous
tenants had their mail addressed to the
house, and called for it at all hours OF
the day and night, but we thought that
was carrying the joke bit too far,
and put stop to it. 1t may be said
without the slightets exaggeration that
there are between thirty and forty men
In New Orleans who make their offices
regularly in the different hotels, and as
far as know, not one OF them has ever
been a guest. They are tolerated be-
cause we don't want the reputation OF
being mean, and don't care to take
chances on offending any Of their
friends, who might be bona fide pa

A WOMAN'S TRAITS.

Mouth.

Can BE Read by the Lines About Her
Mouth.
A certain philosopher declares that a
woman is known by her mouth. Not
by the words that issue therefrom, but
by the shape and color OF the lips, and
the lines and dimples that gather about
this important feature. He Is sup
ported in his theory by physiogno-
mists, who all endeavor to impress us
with the fact that 10 woman with the
small, red Tipped Cupid bow" mouth,
so praised in song and story, was ever
intellectual or generous Of heart, and
says Woman's Life, it is consoling to
those whose mouths are not in accord
ance with the lines of beauty laid down
by the poets to be told that wide,
straight mouth, with strong, white
teeth" denotes the woman of superior
intelligence, goodness Of heart strength
OF mind, and thousand and one other
sterling qualities which we all like to
think we possess. 1t is the fashion
az present to hold the lips very slight
ly apart. This is supposed to give that
innocent, wistful, wonderful expression
which was the peculiar properties Of
the heroines of old-fashioned novels,
but which bicycle riding and kindred
modern amusements have caused to
vanish. 1t is difficult for the thin
Tipped, determined woman to acquire
this trick, but perseverance works won
ders.

way some agents can talk" said Mrs.
Blank at the dinner table. "One was
here this afternoon. She had about q
dozen things to sell. and she had her
story down so .nc think she could
have sold cold cream in her sleep. But
she did get things beautifully mixed at
times. She was showing of some per-
fume, and her story went as though 1t
was on wheels for q while, but she
went off the track before she got
through, and finished by saying, really,

President William Henry Harrison,
eA,ndfatber of Benjamin, $4,000, at

s.nds of E. S. Shepard for $4,000. Mr..
ch.nard seems to appreciate the his

rrtjl 1910. when it passed to William
pigeon who handed it down with his
.etate to Flavius Pigeon, who in turn
vas 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 a
multitude OF purposes, ranging from
a hotel kept by one Cactus, to fold
for sheep in the winter.

UTAH CROP BULLETIN.
Vegetables and Fruits Badly Dam
aged By the Frost.

Vegetables and Fruits Badly Dam
aged By the Frost.
Following is a summary of Director
Murdock's weekly bulletin on weather
and crop conditions issued yesterday:
over the northern half of the state,
the week ending June u opened with
freezing temperature and heavy frost,
which badly damaged potatoes. toma-
toes, beans, cucumbers and other ten
der plants. In some localities sugar
beets were frozen, but it is thought
crop was very slight The fruit in the
northern tier of counties had escaped
the previous frosts on account of its
lateness, but the cherries, plums and
pears of that region were badly dam
aged or killed by the frost of the 9Th.
No frost occurred over a greater por-
ton of the southern half of the state,
and was quite light in the localities
which were visited by it. The only pre-
cipitation during the week consisted of
a few light local showers in the south
ern districts. While the temperature
for the first half OF the week was much
below the normal, that of the latter
half was about normal and produced
the most rapid growth of the season.
At the close of the week those crops
which had not been injured by the frost
were in excellent condition and as there
is plenty of water for irrigation, the
prospects are very encouraging. Pota-
toes are beginning to bloom in the
southern half of the state. Next week
the first crop of lucern will be cut in a
number of localities. Beet thinning is
about completed.
