West Point is not so attractive as it

TENDER came over from France and
attempted to regain the throne of his
ancestors. His army was badly de-
feated at the above named place on
April 81. 1916. 1t was an unequal con-
test. for the duke of Cumberland had

900. In this battle all the wounded in
Charles Edwards army We're put to
death. n for some time afterwards

prisoners We're afterward executed.
This a the last attempt of the Stuart
family to regain the throne of Eng

Three Presidents Who Played Hockey

Three Presidents Who Played Hockey
Three presidents failed to attend the
inaugural ceremonies of their success
sors. Both the Adamses have this dis
tinction. NJ likewise Andrew Johnson.
John Adams was greatly disappointed
at his failure to secure a SecOnd term
and felt very bitter ware his sue
cessful rival, Thomas Jefferson. On the
last day of his administration he
worked till midnight filling Offices and
signing commissions. and then Slipped
out Of Washington in the early morning
hours of the day that was to see JEFF
ferson installed IN his place. His
grandson. John Quincy Adams. had a
better eXcuse for not attending the in
auguration OF his successor. Andrew
Jackson. Party spirit ran high in those
days, and there was no love between
he two 1t is said. however, that
Jackson came to Washington with the
full intention of calling on Adams and
of being friendly. but was d~issuaded
from doing so by his party associates.
OF course this made it out OF the ques-
ton for Adams to attend the inaugu-
raj. Andrew johnson had uuarreled
with the man who was to succeed him..
General Grant. as he had with almost
everyone else. and neither had any use
for the other. johnson probably would
have been willing to attend Grants in
augural. but Grant peremptorily res
fused to ride in the same carriage with
him.

parade It must have been. On eve

most deplorable lot, without food and
without organization" Scarcely had
they begun to move when they were
attacked by the military and partially
dispersed. Some kept on. but the de-

to secure the nomination for the presi-

sagacity and m~agnanimity when he
gave his defeated rival the most inn

quantity. while Seward was a man of
much experience in public affairs. Sc
wards friends confidently expected
him to be the strong man of the cab

ecutive. Shortly after entering upon
his duties he landed Lincoln a note
containing "Some thoughts for the pres

things lie suggested the necessity that

and srapple boldly with the situation,
closing with these words: Either the
president must do it himself, or devolve
1t upon some member Of the cabinet :
1t is not my special province.

note the same day. On the question
Of leadership he simply said. IF this

matter was dropped then and there
