president nine children. lust before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
stroke of paralysis and a short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died-in the
White House.
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia. the daughter
of Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one OF
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he wooed as a youth of twenty
would WOO. impetuously and roman
tically. 1t wasn't great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un-
til fairly late in life. Then he fell in
love with Frances Folsom, the daugh-
ter of his law partner. She was a
girl whom he had known from early
childhood-there was a time when
she called him Uncle Cleve." Mr..
Cleveland and Miss Folsom were
welded in the famous Blue room at
the White House.
For long time it was thought that
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait would
be married in the White House. Peo-
pie just supposed that Mrs Gait would
want to go down in history as an
actual White House bride From the
general feminine point of view il
seemed really the only thing to do
Charming, tactful Mrs. Gait decided
long ago, however. that a woman
should be married in her own home
and not in that OF her husband. She

The movement of animal lovers to

HYMN FOR AiRMEN.

London, Jan. ga hymn for air
men has appeared in the London press
which Sir Hubert Parry has set to
music. The verses, signed by the mi
tails NJ. C. d. H., are as follows:
Lord, guard and guide the men who
fly
Through the great spaces Of the sky,
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storm or sunshine fair.
Thou who didst keep with tender
might
The balanced birds in all their fight
Thou of the tempered winds be near
That, having Thee, they know no fear
Control their minds, with instinct fit
What time, adventuring, they quit
The firm security of land
Grant steadfast eye and skillful hand
Aloft in solitudes of space
Uphold them with thy saving grace
o God. protect the men who fly
Through the ways beneath the sky.

TURK | UROPE'S
DAYS HAVE PASSED
DOMINION HAS BEEN ON THE
DECLINE FOR MANY
CENTURIES.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-During
the period beginning with the capture
OF Constantinople, and ending few
decades thereafter, the Golden Age of
Turkish dominion dawned and began
to decline.
Constantlnople crowned its conquer

day, the Ottoman Is trembling lest

In the sphere of It's native West again.
The life which developed in this city
since the possession of the Turk,
dating from 1854, is the subject Of a
paper prepared by H. G. Dwight for
the National Geographic Society.
Before the revolution of 1908, Con.
stantinople was "a survival Of the fl
teenth century without electric lights,
telephones. trolley-cars, fire-brigades
theatres of woman suffrage. At first
this was because the Ottoman capital
was allowed to remain remote piece
of Asia transplanted into Europe; In
later years it was so because of the
will of one mantle ex-Sultan Abdul
Hamid II. This Sultan, Mr.. Dwight
conjectuures, firmly believed that Q
dynamo had something to do with dy
Mantle, and therefore would have
none of them.
The Young Turk uprising in 1905
transformed the city, and, according
to Mr.. Dwight, Constantinople hal
