For the Visitors

In full view of the crowd in a very
busy street two vendors of berries
were busy with piles of thin wooden
boxes, each scantily filled with i'm
mature fruit.
Emptying box after box, the ven
doris deftly punched up one layer of
the box bottom to sharp angle
pointed in the middle, propped it
there with paper and then refiIled the
receptacle, taking great care that the
nest and freshest-looking berries
should make a snowy top covering.
One Of the spectators grew indig-
nant.
"How in the world" he demanded,
"do you expect to sell your wares
when YOU openly show that they are
not what they seem to be-"
"A gwan," said the vendor adj
dressed. "This is New York, and
there are more trains coming with
more people"

A SPLENDID CHANCE
FOR A CINCH Bet

Here is something you hadn't
thought about: "Who will be the next
president of the United States? Ro-
bert Lansing. But it isn't necessary
to get excited about it. It's a fact,
but fact that needn't upset the cam
paign plans of and presidential candi-
date. The secretary of state isn't in
politics at all, and isn't likely to be.
No convention is going to nominate
him. He isn't going to be elected.
Never the less he'll be the next presi-
dnet, and this is the way of it. A law
enacted in 1886 provides that when
the President and Vice President are
both unable for any reason to per-
form the duties of the executive office,
the secretary of state shall act as
president. President Wilson's term
expires at noon March 4th 1917. That
sSunday. It's contrary to precedent,
although not illegal to hold an in
auguration on Sunday. 1t is planned,
therefore, to have it on Monday,
March 5. And so for one day Secre-
tary Lansing will be president. He
will be empowered to occupy the
White House il he chooses, issue par
dons, command the army and navy,
and even to ride to the capital as the
outgoing president in the inaugural
ton ceremonies. 1t will be the first
time a Secretary of State has ever
had such an honor, and the second
time the Office has ever been held by
anyone except the president or vice
president. News.
