| his primitive world, whose social times. Drinking, and carousing. gam bling. cock fighting and horse racing, young Jackson never took dare, the rustic sport once stalking his horse and his all on a throw of the dice. A bully among rowdies, he went his roy stering way along road that is not to be laid down on the map of conduct as course to the White House.
 As he rose from a chore boy and saddler's apprentice to be lawyer and judge of the Supreme court of Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa- tions of his careless youth, but he never lost the spirit of the clansman or subdued his ungovernable temper.
 A bare catalog of his quarrels and fights Is too long to be given here. In most of them he was fired with the conviction that he was defending the name of his wife. This had been brought into question only by his own characteristic imprudence, when he fell in love with his landlady's daugh- ter. while she was yet married to an- other, and when he rashly wed her without waiting to verify the mere ru- nor that her offended husband had obtained a divorce in a neighboring state. After two years of welded life the too nasty couple learned that the woman's first marriage had only just been dissolved and they had to make a spectacle of themselves as they went through another ceremony in order to be united in lawful bonds.
 Because his own impulsive con- duct had exposed his honest, devoted wife to the slanderous tongues of the gossips, Jackson was all the more sen sitive to her sufferings. For sneering at her over a bar one man was stood up at 24 paces and shot to death by the averaging husband. who kept his pistols in perfect condition through 37 years, as Barton says. for anyone who dared breathe her name except in honor.
 Even at the sober age of forty-six. Jackson plunged into tavern brawl at Nashville with Thomas H. Benton, afterward the distinguished senator from Missouri, and was shattered for life by two balls and a slug which Benton's brother shot into his back. That was his last personal altereation. In few weeks he was called from his bed of pain to take part in a public al- tercation between the United States and Great Britain and, with his arm still in sling, he rose to do battle for his country.

A NDREw JACKSON, the unlet- "A tered backwoodsman, treading at the heels of John Quincy Adams, the most cultured in all the line, presents the sharpest contrast to be seen in the procession of presidents.
 The first president born in log cabin, Jackson could not claim as his own even that lowly dwelling in the North Carolina forest, but entered the world homeless and fatherless. Sprung from poor Irish immigrants, his par ents had been in the country only two years when the father sank into an unmarked grave few days before Andrews birth, leaving his family without roof or an acre.
 No other among American leaders received from the War of Independence such legacy of bitter memories as 1t bequeathed to Jackson. That savage struggle between Whig and Tory swept away his brave mother and both of his brothers; scattered his kin dred and left him, at fifteen, alone in the world.
 A ragged, rowing waif of the Revo- lution, he grew up as wild as weed. With no hand above him, his high spirits led him into the temptations of

 There Is also metamorphosis. No. that's not kind of bug. Metamorpho- sis is change. such as dough to flap jacks (not to dimes); mud to bricks; apes to men. Though the samples will not bear too keen philosophical scru- tiny they serve to illustrate the way old naval customs have become so rooted in the service that they do not disappear even after centuries, and when the old Roman catapult has given way to hundred-ton breech load CTS. They merely change.
 On long cruise the sailorman runs shy of clothing. His work suffers In proportion to his ill-clad condition. Shippers have recognized this mari time maxim by keeping slop-chest. Aboard a tidy man-of-war any mess is known as 'slops.' Slop-chests hold a miscellaneous supply of seaman's clothing Hence the name.
 An account of the first siop-chest was chronicled in 450 B. c. It con tained 1000 garments. assorted In three sizes. The garments were ex- actly alike and cut to fit the stern sheets of galley slaves. Ethnologists sometimes refer 10 them (the gar ments) as breech-clouts. The largest was nautical cublt In circumference or nearly lifesize fathom.
 Columbus gave us the next authentic account of slop-chests in l492. He in- cluded leather boots, woven shirts, dlrks. brooches, sea-bonnets and neck erchiefs. He makes no mention of wrist watches.
 John Paul Jones turned the "slop- job" over to his supercargo or purser. However. he got his little rnke-Off at the end of the cruise For it must he understood that 2,000 miles and n month out fixes pretty good price on necessary apparel.

 Then the Twentieth Century broke like a typhoon over our world. A holo- caust of progress swept away the relics of mans past. Mechanical genius was supreme. Only the char red stubble of original ideas remained. The slop-chest was one.
