THIRIYTHIRD YEAR OF PUBLICATION
Aaron Burr
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of at Good Gid SiWRsh.7

Il ARON BURR was a fine illustra-
~ ton of the manner in which Ma
ture sometimes spOis things by
OVERRIDING them.
Nature fashioned Burr on a magnifi-
cent plan She gave him wisdom, energy,
patriotism and responsiveness. Then
she gave him genius and preeOcity
enough to make an early start. If she
had been content with this, Burr would
have been at least an uncle to his eoun-
try and would probably have been presi-
dent
But Nature then proceeded to add
personal ambition and attractiveness to
women to BUTT's stock and ruined him.
Burr was born in Newark, " j., N
1906. and barely had time to grow up
before the revolution began. He joined
the American army soon after the first
gun was fired and was a lieutenant
colonel at q. The newt year he was a
member Of WashingtOn's staff. At "a
he was attorney general of New York
and at IS senator from New York. He
was then nominated for vice president
in 1900 and at this point Natures
coarse work began to show.
The celebrated constitution was at
this time a little ehildlike. in several
spots and one of these was the method

of electing president and vice president
Burr had been nominated for vice presi-
dent, but when he received as many
votes as Thomas jefferson he made j
mad grab at the presidency Congress
defeated him after many months, but
1t sOured his proud shirt and he soon
became a national nuisance
In 1904 Burr polished up his pistol
practice and invited Alexander Hamilton
to a duel on general principles. He
killed Hamilton. 1t was considered a
misdemeanOr at that time to kill a man
IN a duel lust as it IS considered bad
-3ste today to shoot an editor in South
Carolina and Burr was never popular
after that.
In 1907 Burr got an expedition to-
gether and drifted down the Ohio TO
found a colony in the south. He was
suspected of desiring to be its king and
was arrested and tried for treason, but
was acquitted.
Burr lived TO be over so and managed
TO break up at least one family and to
marry a wealthy widow IN his old age.
He died without iarring even the imme-
diate neighbOrhOOd. and although he was

One-Sentence Philosophy
GLOBE SIGHTS.

(AtchisOn GlObe.)
Your competitor always does more
business than you figure on.
Perseverance frequently pays large
dividends where genius loses money.
A poor man IS pestered greatly by
automobile agents, but he has other
troubles.
It is also well that the picnic dinner
has the advantage Of attack by an out
door appetite
Fashion note: Women's hats fit so
closely this spring that they look as
though they are put on with a shoe
horn.
We finished reading Carlyle's
French Revolution" last night, and
viii now consult an encyclopedia to
learn what it was about.
You may have observed that the gent
who is always praising people has a lot
of friends, although honesty is sup
posed to be the best policy.
