dent Tyler served the remaining three
years and II months of Harrison's term.
The remainder of his days was passed
at his beautiful home, Sherwood Forest,
in Virginia, devoted to his books and
entertainment of the many guests that
gathered around him. He was an advO-
cate of slavery, and when the war OF
the rebellion broke out he sided with the
south. He was a member Of the cOnfed-
crate congress, and his death occurred
while he was serving as such, in Rich
mond, on January II, 1862. Zachary
Taylor was the next president to die
in office. He had served one year and
four. months of his term. His death
occurred on July 8, 1850 He con-
tracted cold and was only sick five
days. 1t is said that worry had much
to do with the cause of his death. He
was soldier. He knew but little about
politics, and after he assumed the presi-
dents office the politicians and the Of
flee seekers made his life burden. Mil
lard Fillmore, his vice president, was
then inaugurated president. Fouryears
after leaving the Office Mr.. Fillmore was
the candidate of the "know-nothing"
party for president, but was defeated.
His death occurred at Buffalo, N. Y,
on the 18th of July, 1874, of paralysis.
The tragic death of Abraham Lincoln,
the first of our martyred presidents, took
place early on the morning of the 18th
of April, 1865. He had entered upon
his second term as president but little
more than a month before. The hand
that brought death to him was that Of
an assassin, JohE Wilkes Booth. 1t was
while seated in box in Ford's theater
the fatal shot was fired. After the
death of President Lincoln, the robes of
chief executive fell upon his vice presi-
dent, Andrew Johnson. His admins
tratiOn was stormy one. He differed
with the leaders of his party in regard
to policies, and an attempt was made to
impeach him in the senate. Six years
after he retired from the presidency he
was elected senator of the United States
from Tennessee. He entered upon his
duties as SENATOR on March 5, 1875. In
the latter part of the following July he
went to Tennessee to visit his daughter
The day after arriving there he was
stricken with paralysis, and three days
afterward, on July 81. 1875, he died
twas also an assassin's bullet that
ended the life of James A Garfield, who
in 1880 was elected president and took
his seat on March 4, 1881. He had been
in Office a little less than four months
when, on the morning of the I'd of July,
1881, at the railroad depot in Washing
ton, as he was about to take the train
for New York on trip through New
England. he was shot by Charles J.
Guiteau, a crank, who, on the trial of
his case in court, was shown to be dis
appointed office seeker. President Gar
fields wound was fatal, but he fingered
for over two months, his death occurring
on September 10, 1881. He was sue

Ships That Passed at Sea.

Samuel j. Elder, the Boston lawyer,
who came to Brooklyn not long since to
tell the New England society OF that
borough of the leaven of Puritanism, re-
lates this story of dialogue between the
shippers Of two vessels which met at
sea:
What ship is that?' roared the skip
per of little Gloucester schooner, hail
ing great full rugged ship.

the answer from the captain of the big

Schooner Dart, from Gloucester, an

''One hundred and fourteen days" was
the answer. How long you out?"
"All night" returned the Gloucester

government, the vice presidency was a
stepping-stOne to the presidency. John

succeeded him as president Thomas
Jefferson, vice president with Adams,
became president Martin Van Buren,,
vice president with Jackson, was presi-
dent after the latter's term had expired
From Van Buren's time, however, until
the present no man has stepped from
vice presidency to the office of presi-
dent by election.
The same "hoodoO" has also seemed to
follow the Office of secretary OF state in
these latter days. 1t was not so in the
days of our grandfathers. Thomas JEFF
fersOn. Martin Van Buren,, James Mad
ison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams
and James Buchanan all served as Sec
rotary of state before their election to
the presidency. However, Henry Clay
who was secretary of state under John
Quincy Adams, was twice defeated for
the presidency after he had received the
nomination, and the same was true of
James G. Blaine. who was secretary OF
state under James A Garfield. Indeed,
men who have held cabinet positions
and have been vice presidents have
often sought the presidency, but, with
the exceptions named above, have failed
in securing the coveted Office. The presi
dents cabinet and the United States SEN
ate are not now good stepping to
the presidency of the nation.

The story of the shooting of President
William Mckinley, the last of our presi-
dents to meet death by an assassin's
hand, is too well known to deserve de-
tailed mention here. He was shot on
the afternoon of September 6, 1902, at
Buffalo, N Y, while attending the Pan
American exposition, on the grounds
and in the presence Of thousands of peo-
pie. The assassin was an anarchist
named Leon F. Czolgosz. President
Mckinley died eight days afterward. On
the afternoon of the day of his
death, at Buffalo, Vice President

as president, and has since been such.
