city for year, when he went to Buff
falo, where he had an uncle who was
comparatively rich.
Although disappointed in his ambi-
ton to be college man, Grover had
it at heart to be professional man,
and his uncle having got him a place
in lawyers Office, the youth went to
work with will and succeeded. He
probably had more of city life and
had it earlier than any other Presi-
dent. But he was a country village
boy, which is the same as country
boy.
The Boy of North Bend, O..
President Harrison was born in a
Jog house on a farm at North Bend,
Ohio, in 1888.
Although his grandfather had been
President Of the United States, his
father was poor man and rather an
unsuccessful farmer. Benjamin wore
homespun, worked about the farm
and attended to the stock He MIXED
the COWS, but it was generally agreed
that he was one Of the poorest milk
ers ever seen.
He was rather an ingenious boy
with tools, though, and when quite a
little fellow he made his mother
pair Of shutters to snuff the tallow
candles used in the farmhouse.
But he was not an uneducated boy
at all, the elder Harrison having
schoolhouse on the place, where his
own boys and those of his. neighbors
were taught during the winter. He
was fond Of reading and devoured
SCOTS novels as greedily as every
bright boy ought to.
Benjamin was devoted to fishing
and shooting, and often helped the ne
gro man, who cooked for the family,
by bringing his wood and water, in or
der to have his company on coon
hunt, or other frolicking expedition.
He had very pleasant boyhood Of
work and books, and lived ON the
farm until he was IA, when he went
to school known as Farmers Col
lege.
His farm life ended then, but like
the twenty-one Presidents who pre-
ceded him, Benjamin Harrison was
country boy of the most unqualified
sort
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-02-04

from that on he ceased to be a farm
laborer, but he always remained a
countryman.
The Boy of Fairfield, VT.
President Arthur, who became Pres
ident when Garfield was assassinated,
was the son of a Baptist preacher,
and was born in log house at Fair
field, VT, in 1880.
When Chester was years old the
family removed to Greenwich, coun-
try village in Washington county,
New York.
While he no doubt did the work
that every poor boy in the country
must do around the place, he was not
obliged to work as hard as a farm
er's boy probably would. His father
was lettered man, and took care to
give his children time for their educa-
ton.
Although his beginnings were not
lofty, the boy was "father Of the
man" in Chester Arthur's case, for
as a boy he was noted for his polite
and graceful manners, and as a man
he was one of the most thorough gen
tlemen imaginable. He was a tall,
handsome boy, very steady, with ex-
cellent sense, devoted to reading, and
naturally Of the sweetest and most
winning manners.
None of the Presidents, even Wash
ington or Adams, who were born to
the best positions in society, could
have been more polished than the
Baptist preachers bright boy. He
was not in the least affected. On the
contrary, like all really polished per-
sons, his manners were remarkably
unaffected; but he was always simply
and truly polite The same may be
said of all his brothers and sisters,
but Chester was the handsomest and
brightest Of them all. He early made
up his mind to be lawyer, and when
he went to Union College, Schenectady,
he was the youngest Of his class. His
boyhood and youth were singularly
correct, studious and graceful.
The Boy of Caldwell, N. J.
Grover Cleveland was also a minis
ter's son and was born at the Presby-
terian parsonage at the little country
village Of Caldwell, n. j.
The parsonage had two acres Of
ground attached to it, but Grover was
not destined to work on them. In
1910, when he was 3 years old, his
father moved to the village Of Fay
etteville, N. Y. Here Grover went to
the village school, and when he was
not at school he was fishing. He was
the greatest fisherman about before
he was II years old.
When he was about 10 his youthful
ambition was aroused to go to "the
academy" the most pretentious
school in the village, and at IL he
was graduated. He was a very good
student, like all of his brothers and
sisters.
His life was like that of most boys
in country villages, and at 16 he was
