FOOLED BY
PRESIDENT
Executive Not Recognized In
Ancient Yorktown by
The Natives

Washington, July 9-Here is an
untold story of President Woodrow
Wilson. 1t occurred during the
Presidents recent recreation trip
to Chesapeake Bay on the govern
ment yacht Mayfiuwer, and the rea-
Son it escaped the vigilance of the
telegraph news association was Mr..
Wilson's inherent modesty and his
refusal to regard himself as any
different from the plainest citi-
zen of the Republic.
The sickening heat of Washing
ton was beginning to tell on Mr..
Wilson, so his physician, DR. Gray
son last week insisted that he
take short vacation. Accordingly
trip down the broad Potomac on
the stately Mayflower, which the
government provides for the use
Of the President, was arranged; !;
and early one morning Mr.. Wilson
slipped quietly abroad without his
usual secret service guard, since
it was assumed that he would not
go ashore during the trip.
But after a day spent on the
water the President grew tired of
reading and begun restlessly to look
over the. charts and maps of the
Chesapeake Bay region. Soon with
delight he discovered that it would
only be a short run for the May
flower up the York River estuary
to the ancient village Of Yorktown
where CORVALLIS surrendered to
George Washington.
~ , Yorktown is a sleepy little strag.
Nsg- village street whose vcner-
~ dwellings house about 200
people. Only one thing has hap
pened there since CORVALLIS sur
rendered and that was the erection
aud dedication of the magnificent
government monument about 35
years ago. 1t is miles from a rail-
road. The marks of the lombard
ment of Washington's guns 1870
years ego have never been repair
ed.
The sultry noon was 80 drowsy
that the people Of the village paid
only passing attention to two
strangers who walked down the
shady street, although the appear
ance of strangers in Yorktown is
usually an event. Much greater
curiosity was aroused by the pair
of marines, who, murderously arm
ed, followed at some distance be-
hind. The captain of the yacht,
charged with the safety Of the
President of the United States,
was dubious over the the propriety
of Mr.. Wilson's going ashore &C.
companied only by DR.. Grayson,
and against the Presidents wishes
sent the two marines to follow. But
Mr.. Wilson need not have troubled
himself about his armed escort
the village people never thought Of
associeting the marines with the
two civilians.
With the intense, intelligent cur
iosity that is such a characteristic
Of Mr.. Wilson's, he examined the
exteriors of the old houses and
the quaint struggling village inn
with delight. He walked about
the antique brick customs house,
the oldest in the United States.
Finally he came to the court house
and. seeing the door open, he and
DR. Grayson stepped in.
For sometime they rambled about
tn building. then looked in the
dS0r of the sheriff's office. The
sheriff, squat, powerful man with
great dropping mustache, sat
coatless at his desk smoking q
corncob pipe, sweating in the fierce
heat and thumbing over his sub
poenas. half asleep. So drowsy
was he that he never looked up

Sure thing, roared the sheriff
heartily, but keeping his eyes on
his papers: Fright at the top of
the stairs. You can't miss it."
Mr.. Wilson went up and inspect
ed the room. Then he returned
to the sheriff's office and inquired
if visitors were permitted to exam
inc the old records in the clerks
office.
II reckon you can." replied the
officer, not raising his eyes to look
at his visitors. Down at the end
of the corridor. Somebody's in
there. You knock and he will open
the door"
The President turned to follow
directions.
Hell of a hot day amt it?"
roared the sheriff after him.
Indeed it is" answered Mr.. Will
son.
The clerk, a little man wearing
thick eye glasses admitted the Presi-
dent, completely unaware of the
identity of his visitor, and then
brought out some of the ancient
court records for inspection. On
the wall hung a poster Wilson and
Marshall picture. The clerks cas-
ual glance happened to rest on tn S
portrait and then instantly sought
the face of his visitor. Mr.. Wilson
and DR.. Grayson were busy over
the books. The clerk called, one
of the marines aside and whispered
to him. The sea soldier told the
clerk he was correct in his surmise.
Although the little man gIowed
with his discovery not by word or
gesture did he allow Mr.. Wilson to
see that he had learned his identity.
Courteously he explained the old
document and showed the party
about the building. But not once
did he presume upon his discovery
to introduce himself or to thank
the President for visiting the vii
lage. At the door he directed his
visitors to some of the other inter-
esting buildings.
But at the old manison occupied
by CORVALLIS as his headquarters
the sharp eyes of a little girl who
acts as guide to the few tourists
who visit Yorktown almost instant
ly recognized the visitor. She spoke
out directly with childish fearless
ness. "Why aren't you President
Wilson," she asked.
The President smiled and told
her he was, then asked for her
name and shook hands.
IL am so happy and proud" said
the child, and so will everybody
else be when they know. This is
the first time President ever
came to Yorktown"
Mr.. Wilson patted her on the
head, and after she had shown him
through the old mansion, he bought
some Of her picture postcards.
Then the little girl ran to tell the
others Of her experience.
BY the time the launch bearing
the President to the Mayfower
was half way to the yacht, the
population OF the village which
had entertained the President un-
awares gathered on the bluff above
the river, and Mr.. Wilson waved
farewell to them. That night the
marine to whom the Yorktown
clerk had spoken related the con-
versation to DR.. Grayson, who told
Mr.. Wilson about it. When the
President heard that the clerk had
known his identity and had refrain
ed from making personal use Of his
discovery, he exclaimed with pleas
ure:
THAT was q true Virginia gen.
tleman."

IOWA MAN STUCK
WITH PITCHFORK

A farmer living in the North
ern part of Iowa stuck himself in
the leg with a pitch fork. The
wound would not heal and for
two years he had a running sore.
He tried all the common salves
and liniments and sometimes the
sore would heal, but it always
broke open again. Finally he
healed it up to stay healed with
Aliens Ulcerine Salve.
This salve is one of the oldest
remedies in America and since
1869 il has been known as the
only salve powerful enough to
cure chronic ulcers and old sores
Of long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by
drawing out the poisons and
healing the sore from the bot
tom up. It is so powerful that
it heals new cuts and sores in
one-third the time that common
salves and liniments take. And
it heals burns and scalds without
scar. Sold by the st. Johns
Pharmacy and other leading
druggists.

That the willamette Valley is
the one section of the United
States that can raise sheep equal
TO those of England, was the
statement made by Prof. Thomas
Shaw, agricultural expert for the
Great Northern railway, i'm a re-
cent talk at Salem. He also said
that i'm this state conditions are
such that pork can be produced
for less cost than is the case in
the corn belt of the Middle West,
while butter can be produced for
80 per cent less than i'm New
England, Prof. Shaw insists
that the Oregon farmer is, as a
rule, neglecting his opportuni-
ties.

An Introduction

Introduction 10 the Bylaws of
the Bonville 80 Year System
written especially for the Sys-
tenn by j. o. Stearns. Jr., of the
Portland Bar:
This is an age of isms-each
directing its aim 10 the better
ment of humanity, each in its
manner bent upon adjusting the
differences and thus ending the
bitter strife between Capital and
Labor.
And this opens the way 10 a
series of vital, intensely vital,
questions. Let us here briefly
consider one or two of these.
Why is not labor satisfied with
its present lot? What is the
reason behind its deep and abid-
ing distrust of Big Business, so
called?
If we can locate the prime rea-
son we then have the key to the
industrial situation, and are in a
position 10 suggest a sane and,
let us hope, a satisfactory solu-
tiOn.
After years of study and inti-
mate association with all classes
and conditions of people. Frank
Bonville, originator of the By
laws of the Bonville 80 Year Sys-
tenn, has reached a scientific So
luton to this great economic
problem, a solution based upon
indisputable facts, adduced from
a far reaching analysis of human
nature and human institutions.
The stock gambling and stock
watering, together with illicit
combinations of capital, common
ly denominated trusts" and
kindred evils growing out of the
present loose methods of manip-
ulating large combinations of
capital, are at the root of social
ills and the cause of present day
industrial unrest, is MIR. Bon
ville's unshakable conviction.
And behind this conviction
lies a mass of facts and figures
gathered from every conceivable
source, in their aggregate so
huge that volumes would be re-
quired for their recording.
And so Frank Bonville says:
Put an end TO stock transfer
ring, and thus end stock gam
bling. For if a man cannot sell
