to secure, as the space was limited. We

HIS LOVE FOR CHILDREN.

Characteristics.


In singular contrast with ex-President

He was extremely fond of children, and
his advances to them met with instant
response. The little ones took TO" him in

ardent and faithful lovers. The bond of re-

friendships, as a single instance proves.
The eight-year-old daughter of a near

write TO her, and during his senatorial
term was never so busy that he failed to

her part. During his years in the White
House his devotion to his grandchildren,
BENJAMIN and Mary Mckee, was a matter
OF frequent Up to the time of his
illness he carried on a weekly correspond

great pleasure in the cOmpaniOnship of his
little daughter Elizabeth, and was often
seen proudly escorting her through the
streets, stopping before show windows
which attracted her attention., explaining
matters that excited her childish curiosity,
and otherwise making himself her patient,
yet pleased, attendant. During a severe ILL
ness suffered by the little girl two or three
months ago she fretted for her father, and
he was much at her bedside, remaining
there on one occasion twelve hours without
interval or rest. Little children, il is GER
