Those working days will count twenty

you will read for two years and write

item will be that of pleasure, which
will have consumed nine years, and
your walking will have consumed six

In the newspapers. that good looks are a handicap to a CIR

pretty girls in their offices, because they receive too mucl

Perhaps this is true In some cases-for instance. In al

stormy INAUGURATION DAYS.

some cases have. seriously endangered
their health by insisting upon taking
the oath of office in the open air, regard

such an adherence to precedent thai
brought on the cold which resulted in
the death of William Henry Harrison.
President Lincoln had the most incle-

General Grant. President Benjamin
Harrison was almost hidden from the
crowd by an umbrella when he took the
oath of office, and the natal day of
President Cleveland's second term was
characterized by the appearance of a
full-fedged blizzard. Presidents Hayes

chief executives who in recent years
