FACTS ABOUT PREsIDENTs.-Two
presidents of the United States were
elected by the Whig party during the
25 years Of its existence as an organ
ization. These were William Henry
Harrison and Zachary Taylor. Both
died in office. The Republican party,
which succeeded the Wing party, has
elected in Al years six presidents-Lin-
coin, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison
and Mckinley. Three Of these-Lin-
coin. Garfield and McKinley-werea as
sassinated. This Is a startling and a
tragic record.
The Democratic party has been in
existence 10 years. During half that
period it has been in power in the ma
ton. 1t has elected nine presidents of
the United States-Messrs. Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren,,
Polk, Pierce, Buchanan and Cleveland.
Five of these-namely, Jefferson, Mad
ison, Monroe, Jackson and Cleveland
served two terms each. Of the entire
nine Democratic presidents elected in
10 years not one died in office. 1t Is
worthy of note also that the only ex-
president living Is Democrat-Boston
Republic.

PITTSBURG MILLIONAIRES.
Stories Illustrating the Rivalry
That Exists Among Them.

Stories Illustrating the Rivalry
That Exists Among Them.
The development of the steel indus
try has made Pittsburg town Of mil
lionaires, and most of them are men
who started without a cent. OF course
the fact that they have become
wealthy by their own efforts is great
ly to their credit, but 1t does not help
them in spending their money. Be-
sides, there is a great deal of rivalry
among them and much striving to out
do each other.
A story Is told Of two rival men of
millions who have fine houses in Pitts
burgs Fifth avenue. One Of the rich
men heard that the other was having
two electric elevators installed in his
house. He telegrahped to New York
firm for four house elevators. A man
was sent out to draw the plans.
But where on earth are you going
to put all these elevators?" he asked
in amazement when he looked over the
architects plans.
IT don't care where you put them"
replied the rich man. Put them any
where, but put them. Smith has got
two elevators in his new house, and
I'm going to go him two BETTER
One of the richest Pittsburgers was
in the smoking room of a Pullman car
recently when the son Of rich friend
entered and took a seat near him.
MY boy" said the old man, do you
know that there was once a time when
positively envied your father?'
The young man was pleased, for the
old man was richer by three Of four
millions than his father.
And when was that?" he asked
smiling.
well, it was a long time ago. You
see, 1 was working in a ditch, shovel
ing dirt, for $1.50 a day. Your father
was working in the same ditch, but he
got $1.75 a day."
The youth no longer smiled, for he
has been trying all his life to forget
that his father once worked with his
hands.-New York Tribune.

There was no anger In her face. He
saw with amazement that there were
tears in her eyes. and he ground his
teeth in renewed rage when he discov-
cred that she was smiling through
them.

nounced him, not you. You did not

She broke down and wept then with
sobs that shook her as raging storm
troubles the sea, sinking upon the chair
again and burying her face In her
hands.
Craig watched her silently. He was
wise enough to know that 1t was best
to permit the storm to pass without in
terruption. He felt that great reye-
lation had fallen upon him like food
of light. A great pity for her filled his
heart. He knew how engagements are
entered into in Spanish countries and
that the woman Is never consulted re-
garding the choice that Is made for her,
and he knew-he thought he knew
that this woman had loved Burr.
That Of itself was sufficient in his
heart to render her and her wishes
dear to him. He asked himself IN that
moment Of waiting, IF |, a man. loved
Eurr Pendleton so dearly. how utterly
must she. woman. have loved him"
When her sobs ceased. he was stand
ing beside ner. and lie touched her gen.
tly upon her shoulder. He forgot his
own harsh words. forgot that he had
uttered them. for he knew. In the other
and greater sorrow. she had not heed
ed them.
"Was he so dear to you, senorlta"
he asked. did you love Burr like
that"
She raised her face and looked into
his eyes. Then she rose and stood be-
side him.
EYES," she said, 81 loved him. think
I would have worshiped him had he
lived. He was all that had left to
love, but he died without knowing It

"Without knowing your repeated
Craig. 81 do not understand"
She placed one delicate hand on ei-
ther Of his shoulders and looked stead
lily into his eyes with an expression
that Craig Wyndham never forgot.
"You were his friend, and you will
be my friend" she said. Mr.. Wynd-
ham, Burr Pendleton's father was my
father. He was my brother. l was his
sister, and he is dead and never knew
it. Oh, If l had only told him all that
night! But l did not dare-1 did not
dare. You will believe me? You will
not doubt me? He was my brother
my brother! And was so proud Of
him! loved him-I loved him"
In her great sorrow she forgot all
else. She remembered only that she
was in the presence Of the man who
had been her brothers friend and who
would be her friend, and she laid her
head against his stalwart shoulder and
wept anew.

THE KING OF THE FARM.
This Title Belongs to Commonplace c.
Indian Corn.

There is not much money in raising
corn in the Piedmont, but we notice
that the farmer who always raises corn

against him. II there Is not much
money in it. it Is a great money saver

you going to do about it? Suppose we

On thin lands let the hills be four feet

will make by feet.

A CURSE TO THE COMMUNITY.

The People Who Try to Pull Down
But Never to Build UP.
The Charleston News and Courier re-
cites some Instances where Charleston
men have been heard depreciating the
attractions Of the Charleston West In
dian fair and advising strangers that
the show Is not worth seeing. The
News and Courier says:
These two men are specimens Of the
very small, but vicious, fellows who
are a curse to the community. It is a
pity that the Jonah, who travelled on
the ship from New: York could not have
been thrown into the sea. It is q
shame that any drummer from this
town should be 80 confirmed a liar that
he would seek in any way or FOR any
reason to keep any person from coming
to this city. It Is reflection upon
it should have in its service any rep
resentatiye who Is not thoroughly
Identified in thought, purpose and ef-
fort with whatever enterprise may be
undertaken for the benefit Of the city.
The condemnation is not too severe.
A citizen should not run his town and
its enterprises down, even should he
have reason to feel that both town
and its enterprise are Of inferior quail
ity; he can at least hold his peace.
But to lie about the place that sup
ports him Is inexcusable.
We fear that there are too many Of
this sort of detractors in the world. In
stead of accepting the situation as an
opportunity for doing something to
make it better, they are engaged in
disparaging and pulling to pieces the
work accomplished by others. One
sees what can be achieved by unity Of
sentiment and effort such as is exhib-
tied by the people Of Atlanta. and 1t Is
one Of the wonders Of the time that
the people Of other cities do not real
ize that there is everything to be gain
ed by initiating their example. What
is needed is a greater flow Of public
spirit, a stronger union in building up
a thorough concert in recognizing and
setting forth whatever is praiseworthy
in the city, so that outsiders, seeing the
people are confident and ready for en-
terprise, will be inspired with like con-
fidence, and join in the work Of prog
ress.-Mobiie Register.
