DIED ON THE FOURTH,
Three Presidents Have Passed Away
ON the Birthday of the
United States.

Three presidents of the United
States died on the Fourth of July,
two on its ff,ieth anniversary. One
was Thomas Jefferson. who so years
before had signed the Declaration of
Independence. and John Adams, who
at the same time, had. after three
DAYS debate. secured the adoption
of the Declaration. 1t might be taken
for granted that these two repre-
friends. even if history were silent
upon the subject, which it is rot.
When Jefferson was dying on that
day which he had SO signally helped
to distinguish, his friend was also
breathing his last. Adams did not
know of .Jefferson's illness, and his
last words were: ''l'homas Jefferson
still survves;" as if there was con.
ISOLATION in the thought. But his
friend had already passed from
earth.
President Monroe, whose famous
doctrine" has kept his memory
green. also died on the Fourth og
July (ls3l). OF him Jefferson said:
.'If his soul were turned inside out.
not spot could be found on it,"
That Monroe. Ike his distinguished
friend and predecessor, should pass
away on the anniversary OF the in
dependence of the country he served
so faithfully, is Il touching coinci-
dence.

it's own pies. There is standard pie
everywhere. Thompson did it.
So Mr.. Gilman, who died two years
ago leaving fortune OF $14,0oo,o 600,
gained it by the bright idea of giving
away cheap, snowy crockery with pur-
chases of tea and coffee. So the orig
inal Horton made a fortune by organic
ing the ice cream business on large
scale. All these men began in a small
way and crept slowly but surely to
success.

side that amused me. 1t was Boston

Foundry the energetic owner ham
mered fortune. He was from Boston
himself, just as young Thompson was
from the ''pie belt of New York
state. Tie one could find in New York
no such pies as his mother made; the
other hungered for the real Boston
beans, baked in a pot with a narrow
mouth that kept in all the rich juices,
not dry and parched in shallow pan,
as was then the New York style.

real name is Hawkins, is nearly twice
her age. He is by profession a lawyer,
but does not practice; his father is
clergyman of the Church of England,

The means of making these two ac-
quainted was apparently the New York
girl known as Julie Opp during upon

as Mrs. William Faversham.s Fav-
ersham is English, also; he got
honestly enough the soldierly
bearing that makes him a hero
to the matinee girl. He was once ,
soldier in the British army.
Lord Fairfax-the mere naming of
his name is plunge into American
history! His ancestor was the famous
| Fairfax, of Cromwell. When 1.-The
king came to his own" it was conve-
nient for that Fairfax to come to Amer
lea. A later Fairfax was the recluss
owner of "Greenways court" and the
friend and benefactor of raw, lankv
lad with a stern jaw whose name was

Rather than have it hanging over

we agreed to do it at once and have

to us to go on living in our rooms

extra examination.
1t was dreadfully hot during the
last four days of June, but we toiled
away with Greek grammar and lexi-

Fourth of July; and we should have
done so, but our Greek professor ate
too much cantaloup on the day SET

we succeeded in charging, outside the

from the laboratory retorts, in the
proportion of two to one, that being
the formula by which the two gases
unite to produce water-and a par
