A LTHOUGH" William Henry 'Har-

dency as the log-cabin candidate, In
the first of our frenzied, parading cam
paigns, he was born to one Of 1.-The
first families of Virginia." in a manor
house on the banks Of the aristocratic
James. AS a son of Benjamin Har-
rison, signer Of the Declaration, with
the blood Of Pocahontas in his veins,
and as a descendant of a Cromwellian
colonel who signed the death warrant
of a king, no president has had a
longer, more historic lineage. .'.'. .
In ability William Henry Harrison
fell below the standard Of his prede-
cessors. He was elected not because
he was a great statesman or a great
soldier, but because he was thoroughly
representative of the new West, which
was flattered to see in the White House
for the first time man created In Its
own image.
At Harrlson's Inauguration the
presidency entered On eclipse and
was held for 20 years by secondary
characters, who reigned, but did not

FORCED REMOVAL OF EDICT
Londoners in Rotous Mood When

All England was up in riotous de-
Tense of the right to pursue happiness

resort of idle and diSaffected persons"

were the protests against the prohibit
ton that the king was forced to re-
woke his proclamation. To save his
dignity, he said that "out Of his prince
ly consideration and royal compassion
all and every retailer Of the liquor
aforesaid shall be allowed to keep OPP
en- until the four and twentieth day or
June next" The arid date came and
went-and the lid didn't go on. The
London coffee houses still flourished,
champions of. free speech when the
press was controlled and parliament
unreliable. ....... .s.. ... :.
Of all the literary and political
meeting places, the most influential
was one popularized by the patronage
of the poet Dryden. Literary asplr-
ants of the day paid dearly mere
ly for the privilege of entering the
room the great man usually occu-
pied. There it was that Pepys saw
him, center of an admiring throng
having every witty and pleasant dis
course" Dryden's chair always was
placed by the fire. in the winter and

question. II; ....- -...... .,... SIS
In the teeth of a piercing northwest
wind, the old farmer president-elect,
bareheaded and disdaining the protec-
ton of an overcoat, rode horseback to
the capitol After addressing a great
crowd that shivered in its shawls and
furs, he insisted, though half-frozen,
on remounting his horse and leading
the inaugural parade.
No sooner was the first Wing presi-
dent in the chair than the claims OF
factions and the cIamor for patronage
assailed him. Clay had declined
cabinet honors-and labors-in the
confident expectation Of playing the
easier and more powerful role Of the
power behind the throne. The I'M
perious manner of the Great Com
moner wounding the presidential
pride, he was requested to make his
calls at the White House as infre-
quent and inconspicuous as he con-
veniently could. Thereupon his total
absence became embarrassingly con-
spicuous. Sd ..# $685..

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion of the 10000
600 population of the Balkan States
n.!ght have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
ca! supplies have been sent TO the Bal
k:ns-Rounmia, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since tie beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while mil!;CnS Of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Gu
rope has been used TO set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensarics, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming imple-
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- in blowing the land.
By the last Of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies adj
-ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, it
IS believed, the people will have ap-
preached a normal state Of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
I'D to provide for themselves.

NEXT JOB Is WHAT COUNTS
Good Thing to Forget What One Has
Done, and Look Forward to
Something Else.


James ]. Hill, who possessed a phe-
nomenal memory, said it is easy to
remember things you are interested
in.
What to do, therefore, is to discern
what things are useful, what things
one ought to be interested in, and
then forget the others.
That sounds easy, but it isn't easy,
as we all know. However, if we try,
we may accomplish something. If we
don't, we won't.
Let's see, therefore, what are some
of the things we ought to forget.
First, and most important of all, for
get that brilliant record you made at
school or that wonderful sale you
made which caused all the boys to
talk, or that remarkable piece of work
you did which won your raise of pay
and promotion.
Forget the big things you did yes
terday or last year.
Forget all about the time you
topped the list and were made fuss
over.
Forget that you are lin your own
eyes) a worder, a world bcater.
Water that has gone over the mill
wheel can grind no more corn.
Forget what YOU have already done
and address all your mind and
strength and talent to the next job

Obedient always to the civil author

like of military ceremonial and man
ners.
He was is plain in his private life
and with a wife as unaffected as him
self. This devoted companion made her
home with him in military stockade
and tents, sending her children as
they came along back to the care OF
relatives, but refusing to be parted
from her husband.
Like every man who has heard the
seductive suggestion of his name for
the presidency, Taylor was not long
in yielding to it. Revising his own
Door opinion Of his qualifications in
the light of their higher appraisal by
others, he came to regard himself as
the peoples candidate and he an
nounced that he would run as such
even if no party should nominate him.
The party preference of the old SOL
dier was in doubt, with no other clue
to it except his brothers Illuminating
remark that Zachary liked Henry Clay
and American-made clothes. The
Wings nominated him without knowing
where he stood on any question and
they made no platform for him to
stand on. It was merry game with
the great problems that confronted the
nation.
After they had nominated Taylor,
the Wings became fearful for a time
that the joke was on them. While
they waited and no word came from
their nominee. at Baton Rouge, they
took alarm lest he would not accept
the honor from their party. But he
had not received their letter of notifi-
cation. For they had neglected to pre-
pay the postage on it, and "Old Rough
and Ready" was refusing to receive
all unpaid mail.

TYING the Knot.

The performance of the marriage
ceremony is often spoken of as "ty-
ing the knot" The expression may
be Of comparatively recent origin,
figurative phrase referring to the fact
that the contracting parties are united
or bound together in wedlock. Quite
as reasonable a supposition is that
it has come down from the ancient
Babylonians.
At any rate it was the custom In
old Babylonia for the priest who off
ciated at the wedding to take thread
from the garment of the bride and
one from a garment of the groom.
He would then knot the two together
and present them to the bride, SYM
