Presidents Sons.

Strictly speaking, only twenty-one
presidents sons, concerning whom there
are available records, have grown to
manhood.
Six presidents - Washington, Madi-
son, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan Ia bach
elor) and McKinley-left no children.
Two-Jefferson and Monroe left
daughters only. President johnson had
two sons, but both died before he was
president, and so did not count.
The sons of thirteen presidents
John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Van
Buren,, William Henry Harrison, Tyler,
Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield. Arthur and Benjamin
Harrison-have lived to mans estate.
The sons of Cleveland and Roosevelt
are still boys.
or the twenty-one presidents sons
who have reached manhood nine have
bulked large in the public eye on their
own account, and all but one or two
have been solid, substantial citizens.
The prominent nine are John Quincy
Adams, president, diplomatist and rep
resentative; Charles Francis Adams,
publicist and statesman; Robert Tyler,
register of the Confederate treasury;
Richard Taylor, who served with dis
tinguished gallantry on the Confeder-
ate side in the Civil war; John Van
Buren,, prominent in state politics and
just entering national politics when he
died; Robert Todd Lincoln, cabinet
minister, diplomatist and president of a
world-famous corporation; Frederick
Dent Grant, diplomatist and general in
the army; Henry A. Garfield, lawyer,
banker and professor of politics in a
great university, and James r. Gar.
field, state senator and United States
civil service commissioner of corpora
tons in the departmental commerce
and labor, now in the cabinet.
Besides the nine who have climbed
SO high, there is John Scott Harrison,
who had the unique distinction of being
the son of one president and the father
of another. He was man of force ant
of great influence in his own state
though he was not prominent figure

A man was taken of the train here
who was suffering from temporary
insanity. Numerous letters and
papers were found on his person which
proved that he Is well educated and
that he has pursued various courses
in the subject of forestry. The name
mentioned in all these documents is
Gerrit Van Benthem and he Is about
forty years old. Seventy-six dollars
were found upon his person but he
stoutly maintained to the sheriff that
he was penhiless. He left New York
on April 9Th and soon after leaving
st. Paul signs of insanity were noticed
by his fellow passengers; at Spokane
he became so violent that it was
necessary to hold him down to prevs mt
him from leapin9 through the car
windows. Word was sent ahead and
Sheriff e. d. ellison was at the depot
for the purpose Of receiving him.
