BIRTHPLACE OF BUCHANAN
MONUMENT ERECTED TO MI N.
DRY OF FORMER PRESIDENT.
Stands at Stony Batter, Four Miles
From Town of Mercersburg An
Interesting Memorial.

Buchanan's birthplace, at Stony Bat
ter, Franklin county, where the only
president of the United States OF
Pennsylvania birth sfirst saw the light
of day, q remote, almost inaccessible
clearing in the North Mountain near
the village Of Foltz, four miles from
Mercersburg, is now marked with a
monument to the illustrious man born
there thanks to fund left by will Of
his niece, Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston,
who was mistress of the White House
during the term OF her uncle. The
monument has been completed. The
dedication has not been definitely ar
ranged for as yet but will take place
likely next May. The monument was
begun October 8, and has just been
finished by the workmen OF the house
OF j. N. Forbes, Chambersburg.
The monument is pyramidical in
form and stands on base or founda-
ton 35 1-2 feet square and the monu-
ment is 81 feet square on its base
line. 1t is 26 IL feet high to the apex
from the foundation and weighs over
$50 tons.
The inscription tablet and various
parts, doorlike on the front, are made
of the best hammered light American
granite and on the face is this inscrip-
ton:

This monument marks the BIRTH
z place Of James Buchanan, Fiji y
teenth President of the United
States. Born 90 April, 1871. :
Died l June, 1868.
The pyramid was made of stones
gathered in the mountain round about
where the old log cabin in which
Jenny" was born once stood, with
the moss and lichen on the face of
the boulders and never touch of
| hammer or chisel. These rough dark
and rugged old mountain stones are
cemented into mass forming cairn
rare in it's nature and appearance.
| The contract price OF the monument
was 1925, but other expenses made
the figure run much more. Cen.
Lawrason Riggs, OF Baltimore, was at
the head of the commission to build
fthe monument. ss
On Fayette street in Mercersburg
now stands the little log house in
which James Buchanan was born 116
years ago. The house was moved
bodily into Mercersburg about so
years ago and is now owned by
Charles Grove. 1t is said to be little
changed as to exterior or interior
since the president was born there.

The Mule Skinner's Kick.

In readin' the story of early days it's a cause of much personal pain At the way the author-men leave out us, in charge of the wagon Lain; Granted the rest of 'em worked and fit in the best way that they could do-- If it wasn't fer us that skinned the mules, how would the bunch have come through? We have frosted ourselves on the prairie sweeps, a-bringin' the Sioux to book. And the sojer men never had no kick that the front rank had been forsook; They cussed warm. holes in the bliz- zard's teeth, when waitin fer grub and tents, But the comforts of home we allus brung, though at times at our own expense. We have sweated and swore in the de- sert land. where the white sand glares like snow, A-rompip' around, forty rods from hell, playin tag with Geronimo We larruped the Jacks when the bull lets flew, and then. when twas gettin too hot. We used fer our hreastworks, mules dead mules, and we give 'en back shot fer shot We never was rigged up purty, of course, and we didn't talk toa perlite, But we brung up the ioltin' wagon train t9 the tail-end of every fight
 We made a trail through the hostile lands, and our whip was the vic tory's key, So why in the name of all that's fail can't we tigger in history?

IMPROVEMENT.

When heathea China began her war on the opium vice it was cynicaly said that there veuld be an opportuni. ty for Christian Eng!anl to help China decrt sse a traffic which was profitable to lngland Christian England em- braced the opportunity The Chinese government has addressed a note to the British minister expressing grate- fuI recognition of British cooperation in China's endeavors to suppress the traffic; accepting the proposals for the reduction of the import of the Indian drug in proportion to the decrease of the production of native opium; and abandoning the increase of import duty on foreign opium. The document he says, is regarded as evidence of the good faith of the Chinese government Dr. Morrison, the famous correspond ent of the London Times at Peking reports that recent information from consuls and missionaries is generally of d conflicting nature, but indicates that the effect of the Imperial edicts chiefly depends on local public opn- ion and on the personality of the re- sponsible officials But he believes that the anti-opium movement commands the support of a large section of the people, and has already produced hopeful results. Wherever public senti- ment and vested interests combine to oppose the regulations, the govern ment, he points out, has no effective means of enforcing them, and there fore the most satisfactory feature of the movement consists in the fact that the people, as distinct from the govern ment, desire the suppression Of the traffic

A REAcrIoNARY CLIENT.

If lawyers were Ted for damages by all the clients to whom they give bad advice their lives would De even less peaeeful than they are. What can be. done is shown by the fact that Wilson A. Cleveland of Staten Islandhas begun suit to recover $5O,oOO from George Cromwell president of the borough of Brooklyn. Cleveland says that he was indicted for grand larceny on June Ii, on the charge of misappropriating $2b part of fund left in his hands to vest In real estate for George L. Stan ley. MT. Cromwell acting as his coun- sel, advised him te pisad guilty to the charge. He compiled, and sentence was suspended. He was Indicted again on the charge of grand larceny, through stanley's efforts and again, through the advice of MT Cromwell he plead cd guilty This time, however, he was sent to jail for year He holds that he could never have been punished if he had not pleaded guilty, as the in dictments were badly drawn and the alleged crimes were outlawedswhen the indictments were handed up.
 It will be interesting to see how MT. Cleveland comes out, We suppose that lawyer is legally expected to have sufficient knowledge or law to give his clients safe advice in cases that are fairly plain. If he doesn't do that he may be liable for damages Perhaps the moral is, go to-a good lawyer and one who has earned the reputation of carefully attending to his clients in- terests.

RHODE ISLANDS GRE1NA GREEN.

Connecticut, considerate of the size of Rhode Island, has welcomed Rhode Islands presidential turkeys to her rich and fattening fields Rhode Island has also. been a welconer. She has, it appears, welcomed people too anxious to get married to too easy facilities for getting married. 70 free and easy has she been in her welcome that there is now a movement in the State, back ed largely by ministers of the gospel, to get the marriage laws so revised that there will be less Hitting over the border. This movement is heartily sup ported by pr. Charles E. Chapin, city registrar of Providence, who, in com mon with many othef citizens, is weary of hearing that city referred to as the modern Gretna Green" He fayors the requirement of taking out a license several days before the marriage cere- mony takes place. As it has been here tofore, licenses could be obtained even after hours and marriage immediately follow. The registrar reports that last summer there was an alarming influx of runaway couples, mostly from Mas sachusetts, and generally from the vi- cinity of Boston. There are also cer- tain divorces granted in Massachusetts, in which the respondents are prohib- tied from marrying tor two years fol- lowing the decree. Knowing that the restriction does not apply in Rhode Island the principals frequently SC there, show their certificates and ob- tain marriages licenses.
 Good luck to those who are engaged in the attempt to revise Rhode Islands marriage laws. Rhode Island has beer cleaned up some politically lately, and 1t evidently needs a little cleaning UT in the marriage business.

TICKLED.

Denver is naturally tfckled because it is going to have the Democratic Ma tional convention, and it is getting ready to show all concerned and ev- erybody else that Denver is the place to hold national conventions. As one of the preHminaries. the Denver Post thus scars and sings: Tt has eleva- ton, climate, tonic atmosphere. The inhalation of it's air sends the blood swinging. through our veins with new health and vigor that vibrates like a chime of silver bells. It's peaks, that climb through the clouds to coronets of eternal snow. are the ramparts from which men view the hopes of big to-morrows. Its skies ring nightly with the music of the stars. It stands above the cities of the East smiling I'm perpetual summer, the confident watchtower of continent It is a place that a man could write about in high-sounding phrases till the crack of doom.
 That's inhaling, vibrating, climb ing, viewing, ringing, standing, smiling and watching some. It calls up a thought of what would happen if a natl ,aal convention should ever be held Tn Houston, Texas, which also has a Post
