In a tribute to General Harrison Mary
H. Krout, in the Boston Transcript tells
of the generals love for children, which
was, indeed, one of his finest character
istics. The austerity that others found in
the man was invisible to them, and the
GOODNESS of which others complained
seemed to be banshed by the smiles of
the little ones Mrs. krout says:
During the summer of his presidential
campaign a family from Chicago visited
in Indiana polls, bringing with them their
little daughter Emily Emilys father
was a native of Boston and an uncom-
promising republican. The child was
four years old and of unusual intelli-
gence. She knew that there We're two
presidential candidates, that General
Harrison, for whom she also knew her
father would vote, was one, and Mr..
Cleveland was the other. Being eX-
tremely generous and sympathetic, the
child concluded that there was a little
too much said of General Harrison in
her fathers house. So she began to
''hurrah for Cleveland in spite of the
family'S protest.
During their visit to indianapolis the
family We're guests Of old and intimate
friends of General Harrison, with whom
they went to call upon the prospective
president. Emily was allowed to go with
them. They were kindly received, and
Emily was especially honored with the
generals notice. He took her upon his
knee and talked to her in the charming
| manner of which those who We're not
| aware of this trait in his character
would not have supposed him possible.
Emily was captivated, and when they
took their leave she departed with mani

stopped and refused to go any further
