river, with which its basement is con-
nected by a large, brick-ined tunnel.
The house is good for years to come.
The walls are two feet thick, OF hand
nodded brick and show little sign OF
deteriorati The shutters, up to a
year or SO ago, were the ones first
hung. They were of hard-shaved oak
Stats, rigidly fixed in the solid frames
and were half an inch thick.
Bullet marks on them, as well as in
the frames themselves, are said to be
due to skulking Indians. The floors
were of hand-planed oak, and are as
good as the day they were laid, having
grown rough and worn in places. The
wainscoting is of hand-planed oak,
walnut and poplar-all of the finest
clear lumber, and on which the plane
marks are yet visible. The rafters and
joists are of hard wood, beach and
maple-adzed smooth on two sides, but
heavy enough for bridge timbers. The
roof has been replaced, but was, up to
a few years ago, of hand-split oak clap
boards, half an inch in thickness.
The frames Of the doors were all of
oak and walnut, and plain, but very
solid and substantial. The nails and
screws in this historic structure, as
well as the door locks and window
catches, are all hand-forged, and heavy
enough for battleship. It is in the
basement that the mysteries OF the
house multiply, for it is divided into
many dark rooms by massive brick
walls, and in one corner was the pow
der magazine, oval covered and with
massive door, yet creaking on rusty
hinges. Another compartment had q
few grated windows near the outside
windows, and is said to have been a
prison in which minor offenders and
runaway slaves were imprisoned.
In another corner is door opening
into tunnel, which leads away toward
the Wabash river, under whose wa
tiers it at one time terminated. This
is said to have been SO arranged that
Indians, in case of q siege, could not
cut off the forts water supply. The
house has been for many years in the
hands of private owners. and has beer
modernized by the addition Of con
servatory and in other ways, but the
original massive structure stands al
when Gen. Harrison occupied it.

GEN. HARRIsoN',s HOME.
The Old Structure, Also Intended for
@aFOrt, Still Stands In the City
of Vincennes, Ind

The old house in Vincennes, Ind,
where William Henry Harrison lived
is perhaps the best preserved relic Of
the earlier years of Indiana's history
says the Indianapolis News. Follow
ing the destruction of the first post, OF
Fort Sackville, it was decided to build
permanent fort, which might be used
as home for the governor. just when
it was erected is in doubt. Some say
it was built by William Henry Harri-
son, who was governor of the terri
tory from 1901 to 1918, while others say
it was built some years before.
The house is standing to-day and is
$50 feet from the banks of the Wabash

"GoLDEN RULE" JONES.
ToledO's Famous Mayor Is the Strang-

of Our Country.

Samuel NJ. Jones, who was recently
elected mayor of Toledo, o., for the
fourth successive term, and has been
thrice reelected as an independent
against the candidates of both of the
great parties, was born in Wales in
1916, and brought to this country by
his parents when three years old. He
was compelled by the poverty of his
family to become wage Garner
when a mere child. When Is years
old he entered the oil fields in a new
ly opened Pennsylvania district; and
later became the inventor and manu-
facturer of an improved Oil well ap-

CITIZENS OR NOT CITIZENS7
south Anne ricnn Merchants Who CAn-
not speak English Claim Amer
lean Protection.

Mr.. Henry james, as an admitted ex-
pert on the expatriatedsi American,
should be called in to settle q case that
is troubling our consular service. The
question in brief is, says the New York
Evening Post: When is an American
citizen no longer an American citizen?
The consul at Quito fipds that business
men who speak not word Of English
have lived for 40 years ormore III South
America, and meanwhile have main
tanned no relations of any sortsEwith
the United States, will fiaunt their
American citizenship, and in time of
disorder claim the protection, Of the
American flag. Consuls, habituated to
all manner of absurd and illegitimate
appeals, hardly know what to do in
such cases. They cannot afford to
treat an American citizen as an im-
postor, and they naturally do not wish
to treat an impostor like an American
citizen. In a smaller degree the same
condition of things prevails at every
large consulate in Europe. The coun-
sui and the generally needy and FREE
quently doubtful Americans are sell
dom long parted. No remedy imme-
diately suggests itself, though pa
thence and sense. Of humor will al
leyiate such consular troubles. Pos
sibly, as our population becomes less
homogeneous and such dangerous ele-
ments as the foreign criminal societies
are added to the ranks of NEE swim
dlerdom, we shall have to forego. i me
of our happy-go-lucky republican
ways, and adopt such European tfi,.iE gs
as the card of Identification, with some
form of registration for travellers The
present passport does not help our
consuls much. It is too easily obtained
by any applicant.

gan to call a nearby Office and sign our
office call at regular intervals the same
as an old telegrapher would do. We
questioned him as to what office he
was calling and he promptly named it
and also told us what letters it took
to make the office call. From that day
he kept on improving very rapidly; or,
perhaps / should say, it naturally
came to him. He would pronounce
difficult words when he would hear
them on wire. And he would spell
words correctly on the wire that he
could not spell otherwise. He still
does this.
Imagine our surprise when we
came in the Office one day and he
promptly told us he heard the train
dispatcher give train order and that
Nos. 1913 and 1874 would meet at Waton-
ga. We inquired into this and found
out he was correct. Glenn did not
study nor was he taught. Now he can
read a train order correctly, tell when
operators are sending their wire car
reports and tell when Watonga's turn
comes. He can tell when other opera
tors o. S. their trains, what Office is
reporting and the number of the train.
HE frequently calls up Wichita and
asks them So which means: Have you
ANYTHING for us?' Very often he calls
up other offices and tells them to copy
He will call all of the Offices he can
raise and then, after he gets them all
lined up ready to 'copy-they thinking
it is an all-agent message-he will tell
them 49, which means he is busy on
another wire.
"Other operators cannot tell his
work from that of the regular opera
tor. as he does not send 'hammy,' like
all beginners, but he makes his letters
correctly, exactly like an old telegraph
or. A few days ago he called up
Geary station and told the operator to
.copy,' The Geary operator told him
tn wait a minute till he got his mill,
and when he he'd his typ. tier ready
he told Glenn to go ahead. Glenn then
told him 49,
"The operators at the Wichita West
eru Union Office call him nearly every
day. They are very much surprised at
him and it is very hard to make any
tor believe he is talking to little
how four years old. The Wichita opera
TOYS can now tell his hand from either
his mothers or mine; they often call
him and ask him to tell some other Of
fice on another wire to answer them for
a message. He promptly replies Art
fall right. and Immediately gets on
the other wire and calls the office. II
successful in raising them, he tells
them to answer on No. 2 wire.
81 believe we are safe in saying that
Glenn is the youngest telegrapher in
the world, and the youngest one that
was ever known. He can cut out and
n the switch board. and when the wire
4 open he can test the wire by ground
inr' and locate in which direction the
wire is open"

the tri p between the two is exceedingly
rocky. The rule of contraries is one

When he is little the big girls kiss
him, but when he is grown the little
girls kiss him. If he raises a large
family he is a chump, but if he raises
a small check he is thief. If he is
poor he is a bad manager; if he is rich
he is dishonest. If he's in politics it's
for pie; if he is out of politics you can't
place him, and he's no good for hi 5
country. If he doesn't give. to charity
he is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for
show. If he dies young there was a
great future ahead for him; il he lives
to an old age he has miss ed his calling.

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remidies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case OF
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, bu,
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough remedy is better, and
does not cost so much 1t causes the
patient to ''throw up the phlegm''
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale
