AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Orderly and BootbIack Dimes with the
President.

The following is among the good an
rctiotes told by Curtis in the Chicago
Record:
among the new lieutenants to he
appointed in the enlarged army is
Frederick Dannemiller of Canton.
Ohio. who served as Il private in the
Eighth Ohio during the Spanish war
and was a c.lum of President McKin-
ey's two nephews. who also belonged
to that regiment. Young Dannemiller
was detailed as orderly at headquar-
ters while the regiment was ut Camp
Alger, and one afternoon while Colo
mel Dick was sitting in front of his
tent with Il party of friends his or
1erly approached. saluted him respect
fully and asked permission 10 go TO
Washington TO dine and stay nll night
as the guest of the President of the
United States.
ut is probable that this is the only
time in history that a private soldier
asked TO be excused from duty in or
der that he might dine with his com
mander in-chi"f and the ruler of his
nation. but before leaving camp he
asked Colonel Dick to please let him
have his boots because he wouldn't he
back in time to clean them in the

to think there was somsthing uncanny
about him. Perhaps It was because
Thomas Chatterton never played quite
fair with those who read his work that
they refused to give him his due. Chat
terton was born In poverty and spent
his short life in poverty. but amid 1t
all his genius could not be smothered.
When years old he was placed In a
charity school. When II he was con-
tributor to the papers and began to
deceive the public with his productions.
Learned men were amazed to read
poems written in unmistakable antique
style. alleged to have been discovered
among old records and manuscripts at
Bristol. No one doubted that these
were works OF 200 years before, and
they were treasured as such. Later
when 1t was discovered that a hoy OF
l6 had written them. there was general
amazement. When he was Is Chat
terton went to London, and aside from
many avowed writings. he wrote nu-
merous poems in the fifteenth century
style that deceived all who read them.
Many papers accepted these. but refus-
ed to pay the young poet more than
few cents for them. Thomas Chatter
ton was in the lowest depths Of pow
erty. He refused to ask for aid, and
in 177o, three months after he had
gone to London. he locked himself In
his attic room. drank poison and died.
He was buried as pauper, and now
the encyclopedias devote many col
umns to this boy who is recognized as
one Of the most remarkable poets En-

NO PRIDE OF DESCENT.
President Harrison Never Mentioaed His
Ancestry.

Ancestry.
1t Is n singular fact. says William Il.
Curtis In the Chicago Record. that Gen
erll Harrison took no interest in his
ancestry, and in the autobiographies
he furnished from time TO time by re-
quest to publishers he never alluded to
the fact that his father was Il repre-
sentative in Congress: that his grand
father was President of the United
States: that his great grandfather for
whom he was named. was Il member of
the Continental Congress, n signer Of
the Declaration of Independence and IL
memberof the committee of correspond
ence in Virginia during the Revolu-
ton. and that his other forcfathers
were conspicuous in the organization
of the Virginia colony.
There is no family in the United
States of proudcr record or greater
prominence in public affairs from the
first settlement of the country to the
funeral that occurred at indianapolis
Sunday, but for some reason that was
never explained General Harrison pre-
ferred to ignore his ancestry. He he
longed to no patriotic societies. except
to the Loyal Legion and the Grand Ar
my of the Republic. and when his an
cestors were mentioned in his presence
lie would freeze up like Il cake OF ice.

Long Prayer. and New Disease.

A Capuchin monk in Detroit has in
CURED serious disease of the knee
from continued kneeling at prayer.
The case is an aggravated one, and it
is feared it will be necessary to am
putate the leg. The sufferer is Father
Paschal, an inmate of the Capuchin
monastery on Mount Elliot avenue. In
America at least this peculiar disease
of occupation is almost unknown. Few
people know anything Of the disease or
its remedies. Father Paschal has spent
many hours regularly each day during
his long life upon his knees. In Italy

knees in large number of people. In
the case of Italian women especially
the knees are often ugly. This fact is
recognized among Italian artists, who
rarely employ Italian models in paint
ing the lower limbs. In painting pic
lures it is customary to employ Ital-
ian women as models for the face and
French models for the lower limbs.

Sometime when all life's lessons have been learned
And and stars forevermore have set,
The things which weak judgments here have spur
The things DER which greved with lashes wet,
Will flash before us. of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tintS of blue:
And we shall see how all Gods plans right,
And how what reproof love most true
And we shall see how while we frown and SIGH
Gods plans go best for you and me-
How when called, He needed not cry
Because His wisdom to the end could
And even as wise parents dsallow
loo much OF sweet to craving babyhood,
So God perhaps. is keeping from
Life's things, because it seenleh good.
And it, sometimes commingled with ife's wine,
We find the wormwood and repel and shrink,
BE wiser hand than yours mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh do not blame the loving Father So
But Your sorrow with obedient grace!
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that. sometimes, the sable pail OF death
Conceals the farest boon His love send
If we could push aJar the gates of life,
And stand Within and all Gods working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key
But to-day. Then be content poor heart!
Gods plans, like lilies. pure and white unfold.
We the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyXes of gold.
And IT, through patient toll, reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loosed, NAV rest,
When we shall clearly and understand
think we shall say, God knows the best!
