Attorney General W. l.. Taylor visited
the house where he roOmed during the
four years while he was a student OF
the Indiana University law school. In
those days he did not dream that he
would amasS the riches he holds at
present. and he says that when he
went back he was filed with the old
school-boy idea that his quarters were
quite palatial. Il found" said he,
that n very humble but respectful
family of colored people now occupy
the house. The ceiling of my old room
is very low, and the porch where /
used to smoke and which l consid.
cred a grand work of construction, Is
not big enough TO whip dog on.
How peoples ideas do change" Mr..
Taylor intends to return and take .
photograph of the house.
