sumed the grave responsibilities at

the age of 81 years.
When James K. Polk was inaugu-

almost too young to have reached tho
age of discretion. He was younger by
five years than any other man elected
to the presidency up to that time,

the reins of government into his

Zachary Taylor, the hero of Buena
