Just as ! was about to take my place
at the end of the line, much to the as

pressive gray mustache and bald head,
looked up. He bounced out of his chair
and bounded over to me. The game,

The Road TO the White House Il
Paved with Fractions

II seemed a shame to have to go back
now and disillusion all those dear souls
who had held such high hopes for me.
Here it was practically decade since
graduation, and not only was l not the
President of the United States (as my
arithmetic teacher had once predicted,
after I had done a particularly dazzling
stunt in fractions), but l didn't even
own a railroad or a top hat. 1t would
be mighty hard to explain.
There were, Of course, one or two eX-
cuses / could make. l hadn't counted
on a world war to upset my plans. II
I had thought of it, should probably
have allowed myself a year or two
extra for the achievement of wealth
and fame. And when was graduated
nobody would have dreamed of two
Democratic administrations in success
sion. No wonder | wasn't further adj
vanced. l might as well go now and
have it over with. They'd probably find
out about it anyway-my lost ideals,
my writing for the newspapers, and all.
II they got it from merciless gossiping
tongues it would probably sound worse
than it really was. Besides, the editor
insisted.
Instead of stepping out of an auto
mobile to astound my old principal with
my presence, as l had planned in the
dim days of adolescence, ! telephoned
in the morning to break the news as
gently as possible. He would probably
collapse if / walked in suddenly, the
shattered remnant of a great hope.
Even over the phone hadn't the heart
TO tell who was merely said want
ed TO interview him, and faltered my
name. / sighed with joy. The name
meant nothing TO him; he didn't even
repeat it correctly. Ny heart leapt as
I thought that he probably wouldn't
recognize me at all. / had changed a

Asst week, when the editor asked
me to 90 up to my old public

II Asst week, when the editor asked
me to go up to my old public
- school for some information
about Fairgrounds, I had hard time
guping down my refusal. The day l
received my diploma l had vowed
silent, solemn VOW that would never
return until I had made my mark in
the world. That grand event was, II L
remember, to have arrived about the
middle Of last winter. The rich and
famous president of railroad, was to
come back, shake hands with my old
principal, now bent with years, and as
sure him that what had accomplished
in the world / owed entirely to him.
Then. removing my tall hat, / was to
speak to the pupils on Thrift" as the
district superintendent had at gradua-
ton. The gala return was to end by
my taking my favorite old teachers out
for an automobile ride, and possibly
blowing them to a soda on the way.
And while / was there l would offer a
prize for the best speller in the school.
II may have had something to do with
the fact that won the spelling prize at
graduation.

commerce commission permitted an
advance of f0ur-teuths OF cent per

that hold that the high court viii sus-
tain the state than You VIII those who
maintain the Interstate commerce

Final arguments were heard by the
supreme court In Washington yester-
day, attorneys appearing for the in
Tersrate commerce commission and for
tie state of Illinois.
In the interim the railroads 0perat-
ing within the state of Illinois are
forcing the passenger to pay the ez-
cess fare, bur in lieu OF the same are
presenting receipts that VIII insure

preme court should reverse the order
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion Those who have been travelling
within the state since the railroads
obtained permission to advance their
passenger fare rate should preserve
their receipts. for they may come La

It Is TO the everlasting shame Of

that it has defauited IN its promise 10

would be the final visit OF the major
ity Of them. all or the survivors IN the
state of the army thar participated in
the Siege on that historic spot III Miss
issippi It is estimated that there are
still living 800 Illinois veterans who
fought at Vicksburg.
The site OF the Yicksburg engage
ment. lying just beyond the confines Of
the city, has been converted into ma

having been conserved ia the re-

10 transport the 1900 veterans TO and

been scheduled for this MONTH The
SUM sought would cover all OF the
transportation expenses OF those en-

While the administration is not 10 be
condemned for efforts that il put forth
20 check the operating expenses Of the

reduction had no idea that such q large
