THERE'S Truth IN IT.

Jack London, at a Publishers dinner
in New York, said Of industry
THE boy who starts at the bottom
in some big concern thinks all he
needs to do is to work his very best
and then his employer will raise him
up and up till finally, he is made gen
eral manager.
las a matter of fact, the truth lies
nearer Lawson's case
Lawson, said the head of a rich
firm, I have noticed that you work
with amazing zest No detail of the
business is too small to escape you
No task is too hard. You are the first
to arrive in the morning, you are the
last to leave at"
"Oh, thank you, sir; thank you,
sir, cried Lawson, expecting his sal,
airy to be doubled
Hence, Lawson his employer end,
ed, with a snarling laugh, I'll ask you
to dig out the first Of the month. It is
men of your caliber who get a bust
ness down pat and then go and start
rival establishments in the next
block"

The Harrison family of Virginia
and Indiana gave three generations to
the nation-William Henry Harrison
as president, John Scott Harrison as
representative and Benjamin Harri-
son as president Related to the Har-
rison and Monroe families were the
Tylers, one of whom, John Tyler was
president, and left a son and name
sake who was a man of some little
prominence.
The son of the late President Har-
rison is Russell B. Harrison, a lawyer
of indianapolis, who has served in the
Indiana militia and in the Spanish
American war. He was superintend-
ent of the Helena, Mont, assay office
in 1855.
Living Sons Of Presidents.
OF all the sons of the presidents
who are living today the most promi-
nent probably is Major General Fred

officers of the army and commander
of the department of the east. Gen

HIS WITTY REPLY.

An English lady of title. while visit.
ing Washington after the Gould.Decies
wedding, which she had come over to
attend, was greatly surprised at the
public discussion over the smoking OF
a cigarette by Lady Decies at the win.
dow of her private car.
Il hear said this lady. chat for
some time to come, on account of this
incident, Lady Decies will be bothered
with letters of criticism from stran.
gers and anti-cigarette leagues. The
American prejudice against women
smokers is extraordinary.
Il suppose, however" continued the
speaker, that there are anti-tobucco
faddists everywhere. ! remember
clever answer to one of these faddists
made by Rev. C, H. Spurgeon the
great preacher
"a gentleman wrote 10 Mr. Spur
geon, saying that he had heard he
smoked, and could not believe it IN
be true, Would Mr.. Sturgeon write
and tell him if it really was so? The
reply was:

The most distinguished of all pres

Quincy Adams, son of the second
president and himself the sixth occu-

man who was minister to Great Brit

running mate was Charles O'Conor.

AS BREEDING GROUND FOR ALASKA

An odd plan is on foot to make the
Colorado mountains a sort of prov
ing ground for agriculture in Alaska.
OF course, there are good many
kinds of agriculture in Alaska that
do not need proving. They are al
ready an established success, both
scientifically and commercially. Hun
dreds of tons of potatoes, oats and
cabbage are grown and sold in the
territory each year and there are a
dozen other successful crops.
But Alaskan nights are too cool
to mature string beans and corn, for
instance, and the question is whether
hardy, cold-restraint varieties could
not be produced by selective breeding
that would give Alaskans all the fresh
Injuries from their garden that the
states have.
There are farms in the Colorado
mountains near Denver that have an
elevation of nearly 10000 feet and
the conditions at this altitude in Col
orado are almost identical with condi-
tons at 1000 feet elevation near the
arctic circle. That is the days are
warm and sunshiny but the nights
are almost cold even in summer, while
the severe winters ar apt to kill all
but the hardest perennials,
A bill was recently introduced into
congress for the establishment Of just
such work in Colorado and also for
experiments that would breed drought
resistant vegetables for the desert
The method employed in this ex-
detrimental work are exceedingly in
teresting. If for instance, it was de-
cided TO find a wheat that would ma
ture in very cold climate like that
in the hill country north of the arctic
circle this is how it would be done:

convention has had under considera-
ton the name of Robert T. Lincoln as
that of a presidential possibility, but
he has vetoed the suggestion. He ser
we'd in the cabinets of Presidents Gar
field and Arthur as secretary of war
and represented the United States in
Great Britain from 1889 to 1898.
Since that time Mr.. Lincolns legal
and business engagements have en-
crossed his time to the exclusion OF
public duties. He is the president of
the Pullman Company and makes his
home in Chicago. He is averse to
publicity and especially dislikes being
pointed out as the SOC of the war
president.
The 1.-TWO Garfield Boys"
The two Garfield boys have filled
spaces in the eyes of the people of the
United States recently. The younger,
James Rudolph Garfield, was secretary
of the interior in the cabinet of Presi

sioner of corporations and is now one
of the leaders of the progressive
wing of the Republican party. The

First, the hardest seed of all the har-
diest varieties would be obtainable
from Russia, Scandinavia, Canada and
Alaska Then it would be planted in
a place where it would be unlikely to
mature. There might be just one stalk
that, from some mysterious strain of
breeding or force of circumstance,
would stand unframed by the autumn
frosts, Its seed would be treasured
and the next year each grain would
be carefully planted and guarded so
that the strain should be increased,
and still further and severer tests
made on it until it was SO hardened
that full annual crop was assured.

University in succession to Woodward
Wilson.
The newspapers have been fond of
representing Jimmy Garfield, as they
called him, as a young man of effer-
vescent spirits, firm friend, personal
and political of President Roosevelt
and a partner in the latters activity.
But James r. Garfield is on the ser.
lous side of forty, having been born
in 1865 and has done good work in
various places. He is capable, say his
friends, of filing still higher positions
acceptably to the people whom his
father served so tragically so short {.
time as president Harry Augustus
Garfield is president of Williams Col
lege, Williamstown Mass. He was
formerly a lawyer of Cleveland, in
which city his brother has been prac-
ticing law since 1909. The educator
son of James A. Garfield is an author
ity on politics and economies.
Grover Cleveland's son Richard is
still too young to have made mark
in the world. II will be recalled that
the late Democratic president was not
married until he had become presi.

BY CHARLES N. LURE.

Taking them by and large as the
saying goes, the sons of the presidents
of the United States have been able
men. Comparing them with the aver
age run of citizens of the republic, it
is seen that a high percentage Of
them have done good work in the
world-haye even won distinction in
various fields, So far as this testi-
money goes, it tends to prove the
theory of the something" in hered-
ity in the idea that ability begets
ability, or has a tendency, at least, to
raise its offspring above the common
mass. To be the son Of the president
of the United States is not guaran-
tee of greatness or even Of capability
greater than the average, for there
have been presidents sons whose
names even are forgotten. But there
have been others, many of them, who
have been exemplars of the truth of
the opinion that brains and energy
and character may be expected to
transmit themselves.
These reflections were induced by
the recent report that Robert A. Taft,
son of the present president, and
Charles E. Hughes, Jr., son of Justice
Hughes of the supreme court, who
has been mentioned as a presidential
possibility, have won prizes in the
Harvard law school.
OF the twenty-six presidents the
United States has had, Washington,
Madison, Jackson and Polk had no
children, and Jefferson, Monroe, Fill
more and Johnson had no sons who

with was taken at Princeton a short
time before Mr.. Clevelands death.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr.. is still a very
young man and has shown no apti-
tude for public life, He is engaged
in the carpet business in the west and
is the father of daughter born a few
months ago, the only grandchild of our
only surviving eX-presdent.
In the middle years of the nine
teenth century no son of a president
was better known than John Van
Buren,, whose father was Martin Van
Buren,, the eighth president. John was
very popular for his handsome appear
ance and elegant manners and was
known popularity as Prince John" a
nickname which stuck to him even
latter his father had left the White
House
So far as research can disclose
there has been no scapegraces among
the sons of the presidents. The chief
executives have all been descended
from honest, law abiding, God-fearing
stock, and they transmitted the good
qualities Of their ancestors to their
sons. In various parts of the country
there are living descendants of some
OF the earlier presidents unnoticed by
the public at large. Their distinguish
ed ancestry is known only to their
neighbors and kinsfolk. If they do
not figure in the national annals,
neither do they bring reproach on the
names of their famous ancestors.
