There is a certain walnut tree near
Benevento, in Italy, around which the
witches are said to gather on certain
nights; and many peasant of the
Campagna believes that the witches
assemble on midsummer nights amid
the ruins OF the Roman Forum, where
they turn themselves into huge black
cats. As one proceeds east the super

multiply. India is full of supernatural

Five Presidents and Seven Vice Presi.
dents Passed Away While They
Were Holding Their
Office
THREE WERE MURDERED
Vice Presidents Were All Men Worthy
of the High Positions Given
Them by the
People.

Five presidents of the United States
died when they were in Office Will
liam Henry Harrison, April 4, 1S41, Of
bilious pleurisy; Zachary Taylor, July
10, 1850, of bilious fever; Abraham Linz
coin, April Is 1866; James A. Gar
field. Sept. 10. 1881, and William Nc
Finley, Sept. Ia. 1901. The last three
named were murdered.
Seven vice presidents have died in
Office and all of them from natural
causes-Ge George Clinton of New York,
April 20, 1872; Elbridge Gerry Of
Massachusetts, Nov. %, 1874; William
R. King, of Alabama, April is, 1858;
Henry Wilson Of Massachusetts, Nov.
i22, 1875; Thomas A. Hendricks OF In
diana, Nov. 25, 1885; Carrot A. Hobart
of New Jersey. Nov 81, 1899, and
James A. Sherman of New York, who
has just passed away.
/ When he died Clinton was seven
Ity-three years of age, Gerry was sew
enty, King was siXty-seven, Wilson
was sixty-three, Hendricks was sixty
six, Hobart was fifty-five and Sherman
had just passed his ffty-seyenth birth
day. With the exception Of Hend-
ricks, who was of Scotch-Irish, which
is very much the same thing as being
Scotch origin they were all of Eng
jlish parentase. They were also men
of many high and no mean qualities
so far as the men who have written
about them since their death have
observed, and each Of them did his
part we'll while he was among the
living, just as he is highly respected
now that he has Joined the dead.
There was George Clinton of New
York, who was vice president with
/ Thomas Jefferson from March 4, 1905
to March 4, 1909, and with James
Madison from March 4, 1909, to April
90, 1872, when he died with about. one
year Of his second term in this Office

highest character and of long and
varied experience In the public ser
vice.

Massachusetts, who died while hold

was a graduate of Harvard and made
n most excellent start In statesman
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-11-10

The third of the vice presidents to
die In Office was William R. King of
Alabama, who was man of large ex-
perience in legislative and diplomatic
work, but who died before he could
enter upon the duties of this office,
for which he had proved by his ser
vice in the senate and as president
protein of that body his special fitness.
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
who changed his name by legislative
act from Jeremiah Jones Colbrath to
Henry Wilson, because it was shorter
and more easily pronounced, was vice
president with Grant. He did not
last long after his elevation to this
office, but he proved By long service
his ability and his force of character.
He was not born with a silver spoon
in his mouth, but from his infancy up
he had hard struggle in making his
way. With only twelve months
schooling in eleven years he yet dur
ing this time packed his head with
useful and valuable knowledge, and
the farm lad became the "Natiok Cob
bier" and afterward vice president, in
which Office he distinguished himself
by his adherence to what he regarded
as sound principle. The story of his
| life and achievements reads like a
fairy story.
| Then there was Thomas A. Hen.
bricks of Indiana, twice elected vice
president, first with Samuel ]. Tilden
and afterward with Grover Cleveland
and whose whole life was filed with
worthy achievements; then there was
Carrot A. Hobart Of New Jersey, a
lawyer by profession, a successful
politician and man of affairs and
| finally there was James S. Sherman

Augusta, Ga, July l+-How does the die

less been asked by thousands ofSouth Car
olinians since the little instrument was in
trOduced into the investigation of the af-
fairs of the State dispensary.
The dictagraph is a very simple instru-
ment and might be installed in any room
in the State. 1t is constructed along the
same lines and principles as the telephone.
A wire Is necessary to carry the sound OF
the voice from one room to another.
The dictagraph proper is very small in
strument about the shape Of completed
horseshoe. 1t lisa very delicate instrument
with sensitive disc and is placed on one
end of the wire. This is the sending"
end. At the other end Of the wire-the re-

These are placed over the head of the
