THE TREE nE MY LIFE

when was yet but child, the gardener gave
tree,
little slim elm to be set wherever seemed good
to me.
What wonderful thing Il seemed! with It's lace
edge leaves uncurled
And It's span-long STEM that should grow to the
grandest tree in the world
So ] searched all the garden round. and out over
field and hill
But not spot could find that suited my way
ward Will
would have it powered in the grove in a close
and quiet vale;
| would rear IL aloft the height, to wrestle
with the gale.
Then I said "I will cover its roots with a little
earth by the door
And there IL shall live and wait, while search
for place once more
But still could never find It, the place for my
wonderful tree,
And It waited and grew by the door, while the
years passed over me-
Till suddenly. one fine day, I saw 1t was grown
too tall.
And its roots gone down too deep, to be ever
moved at all.
So here 1t is growing still, by the lowly cottage
door,
Never SO grand and tall as I dreamed It would
be of yore,
But It shelters tired old man in It's sunshine
dappled shade,
The children's pattering feet round its knotty
knees have played.
Dear singing birds in storm sometimes take
refuge there.
And the stars through its silent boughs shine
Eoriously fair

"oLD TIPPECANoE's" LOG CABIN

movement is on foot for erecting a monu-
ment in honor of William Henry Harrison on
the farm at North Bend, Ind, where he spent
the greater part of his life and where his body
lies buried. After serving In Indians wars I'm the
9Os of the eighteenth century he became Gov
ernor of the socalled Indiana Territory, which
then comprised the region later embraced in the
States of Indiana Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin, BY peaceful methods he secured favor
able treaties with the Indians and one of his
military campaigns won the important victory
of TippeCanoe. Thus he the title, "Old
rippecanoe," which used as n slogan in his
subsequent political campaigns. In 1910 the
song about Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too was sung
by Wings all over the country. This campaign
the famous log cabin and hard cider cam.
paiGn, and in this designation the old home at
North Bend figures.
A writer In the Columbus Dispatch saws that
the building was in part log cabin One who
a guest there in 1916 describes 1t as a long,
rambling structure part two stories in height,
but mostly but one story, with the wide front
facing the Ohio River, from which it stood back
about 300 yards.
There nine rooms in all on the ground
floor, and one of these-a large one-was the
log portion, it evidently having been originally
a log cabin standing by itself; but the owner
means permitted until he had quite a preten-
tious country residence. The whole of the eX-
terror had been covered with clapboards-sawed
boards being too expensive in those days-and
the Capboards were painted white. Seen from
the river at the bend II is said 10 have presented
a very beautiful aspect, the white building in
Its setting of green in summer being particu-
larly striking.
eral Harrison often entertained companies of
friends, and cider was the beverage used at
these dinners. This hospitality famous just
prior to the presidential campaign in which he
led the Wings and the contest became known

SATURDAY NIGHTS DEBATE

JETHEN redbIooded Americans cease TO take
w an interest in such a contest as that in
the Madison Square Garden in New York on
Saturday night it will be time for us to
despair of the republic There have been some
notable exceptions; but the rule has been
from the beginning that the men who have
achieved great success have been, first, strong
animals. Great physical force is necessary if
great achievements are TO be wrought. There
must be the sound body as we'll as the sound
mind The physical man, the vigorous human
animal, is interested in displays of physical
prowess He may not care TO become prize
fighter but he envjes and should envy the
man who can defend himself with his fists in
case of need.
Both Willard ana Moran are fine speci-
mems OF physical development. They are spe-
cialists, however The nation does not need
many such; but so long as we value physical
training there will be a few men who have
more strength than brains willing and anxious
TO make the muscles in their arms and legs do
for them what the undeyeloped muscle IN their
skulls viii not do. The victory went to the
strongest and most vigorous muscles Willard
outelassed his opponent from the beginning
and proved that when brute force Is pitted
against brute force the man with the biggest
supply wins. II Willard carries out his plans
% so hack West ana run a ranch after a few
months, he VII prove that he has q brain as
well as Drawn.

IN PRAISE OF COLWYN
It's Chief Burgess Rises to Correct
Misapprehension

Misapprehension
TO the Editor Of Eucnin1 Ledger:
Sir-NIy attention has been called to article
under what Do You Know?" in your Issue of
the 22d inst, wherein the questions are asked:
"O) Maybe you can tell me what class of city
Darby Isl (2) also. where Is COlwyn'? In answer
to the above you reply: "G) Darby comes under
the borough form of government with Chief
Burgess and a Council of one chamber; (@ Col
wyn is a applied to one section of Darby
borough"
am concerned in the second part of your
reply, inasmuch as | observe that 1t Is incor-
rect Cowyn is not section of Darby borough,
hut separate borough maintaining its own gov
ernment, including Burgess, Council School
Board, Health Board, Police Department sewer
flushcr, ash and garbage collection besides which
II maintains and supports one of the leading fire
companies in the State of Pennsylvania, one
piece of It's equipment alone namely its auto
mobile combination chemical and hose wagon.
is doubtless one of the best pieces of apparatus
of its kind in the country.
While the town Is small in area. yet what 1t
lacks in size II makes up in progressiveness.
Considerable of its legislation is copied by it's
sister boroughs, and recently even the larger
cities Of the United States have been sending to
for copies of our ordinances and regulations.
Instead of being section of Darby borough,
we, being SO progressive in our borough, some
times become so enthusiastic that IL do not
watch ourselves the feeling comes over us that
our neighbor whom we Immediately adioin,
Philadelphia, is part of Colwyn.
The only immediate connection have with
the other immediate adjoining municipality
Darby. Is its postotfce delivery our town, while
having Colwyn branch of the Darby post
office, is served by carriers under control OF
the Darby postofice
So that your inquirer may be properly in
formed, l trust that you will be good enough to
correctly state the facts given by and
to further inform him that should he desire to
procure further information concerning the
town, that on behalf of all 1000 residents,
we will be very glad to have him pay a
visit, and, II he desires, any of our officials will
be very glad to show him around and par
ticularly have him inspect our and modern
town hall, which think cannot be exceed by
any other town size, perhaps not by any
town of any size, at least not in Delaware
County.

THE MYSTIC

I like TO speak in words
That people say
Are pregnant.
I delight in uttering
The obvious
In tones that are
Mysterious.
When I say, 1.-THE man walked"
People are amazed and say:
''The man did not run.
He did not ride,
He did not crawl,
He did not hop, skip or jump,
He walked,
How simple and natural,
And yet how subtle"
The other day somebody asked me
What I thought
OF Schopenhauer.
I had never heard
of SChopenhauer before
So ] simply answered
''SChOpenhauer,"
And I smiled sadly
CAS- tho / had disseCted him long ago,
And rejected him
And was bOred)
Somewhat like the smile
OF Mona Lisa,
And everybody thought my answer
Was perfect WILL LOU.
