Vanndale, Dec. 2S.-Three build ings owned and used by the mercan- tile firm of J. NJ. Yam & Sons were destroyed by fire last night with a loss of S35,O0O. During the fire, it was observed that the door of one of the safes was open, and this supports the theory that robbers rifled the safe and then the building was fired to conceal the crime.

Amos Killing Relents at Last.
Daughter Accepts Forgiveness

Not until Warren Harding had been
elected Lieutenant Governor of Ohio with
Myron T. Herrick as Governor, some fifteen
years or more after the final break. did
Amos King relent and forgive his daughter

with all the generosity and abandon OF

popularity to Washington. The wife of the
Ohio Senator became known as wit and
as the most human of human beings.
Her fearlessness is a byword. Clothes have
been of minor consideration in Florence
Hardng's life. although she is and always
has been, a stickler for neatness of attire.
The petty dictates of fashion do not concern
her. On the occasion of her shopping ex-
pedition to New York she rebuked a sac

shop for his exorbitant prices by promptly
dismissing him.

Harding Decides to Tackle
Democrats in Their Stronghold

Having established himself a successful
editor and publisher. political leaders of the
county and State began to recognize in War
rem Harding valuable party timber. He
had declared himself unquaifiedly Repub
lican. He was urged by party powers to
try for office the berth selected being State
Senator. This no mean goal in a county
almost sodly Democratic, but he promised
to consider the matter.
There was a conference between the Har-
ding partners, husband and wife. Warren
Harding announced himself candidate for
the office. Florence Harding entered into
the fight with all the enthusiasm and
ardor of her intense nature. She cam
pa gned with and for him. She managed
.he practical part of the campaign. leaving
her chosen candidate free to expound his
principles and his ideals Her pride in and
10y over his first election is still remem-
1ered in the home town.
If there was drop of bitterness in her
cup of success by reason of the continued
III will and opposition of Amos King she
gave no sign. She had abundantly justified
her defiance of the parental objection. She
had proved to her father beyond all cavil
the affection of herself and the penniless
young law student was the one big love
which comes into the life of a man and a
woman. She had shown him that the more
we are opin onated the less able we are to
plumb the depths Of truth and right.

FoHs the Marion Gossips
BY Entertaining Their Victims

Any number of girls out in Marion will
attest TO the sistership Of Florence Harding.
Hers was the great heart, despising hectic
rumor and subtle insinuation. Whenever
gossip born of narrowness and petty injus-
tice begins pointing the finger of scorn at
some hapless victim the great lady Of the
community. none other than Mrs Warren
G. Harding, gives a reception. She invites
the quarry of the whispering pack to preside
at her table.
Having received the stamp Of approval of
the acknowledged leader smaller fry are
compelled to follow suit and do their char
acter rending and shredding elsewhere.
More than once has she averted social
ostracism for some sensitive girl
Mrs Harding is not church woman in
the limited sense Of the term She attends
services, and hers is the religion OF practice
not of lip.
The Kings were Methodists. although
there is tendency to Presbyterlanism in
several Of the younger generation. Mrs
Harding since her marriage. has adopted
the faith OF her husband, Baptist a sister
of Warren Harding is just back after eleven
years spent as Baptist missionary in India.
