nan 10 the sea. Afterward he rose
10 a high and prosperous rank in the
practice of law.
The only political Office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was seat in the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
in the year before he wax elected pres
dent. he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
president-elect, and he frankly de-
scrbcd himself rs "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
was not well. and he refused to make
q contest for the nomination. AT last
he cahled from Scotland: "Take Har-
risen" And the convention indiffer-
emily took him.
The more notable events of the Har-
rison adminstration-the Mckinley
iariff act: the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject of trusts: the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congrcss-hardly belong in
this little story, because none of them
originated with the president himself
he did not rise TO leadership, and con-
gresS took the reins. All the while he
sat in the White House in cold aloof-
ness.
With the cry of "God helm the sur
plus,' the Republicans gave the coun-
try in Harrson's administration the
first "billion-dollar congress-" the ap-
preparations for the twO-year term ris-
ing TO that unprecedented total. To
The ponulsr protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: "This is n billion-dollar coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough TO pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
lions i'm 1890. OF course anyone who
had anything TO sell seized upon the
excuse TO mark up prices. The "shop-
ping women" rose In their fury at the
higher cost of living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
In the house.
That was the forerunner of a still
greater political overturn in the presi-
Dental election in 1892, when Harrison
went down under a sweeping victory
for Cleveland.

Agricultural College horticultural de
paltnent.
'Everbearnc varieties have be
come very popular If late years.
says Mr. Loreo, Under favorabl,
conditions, they will bear in the
spring at the time Of the usual crop,
and also in late summer and fall.
Careful selection of adapted varie-
ties is important, however, if ever
bearing Strawberries are to be grown
satisfactorily.
Many varieties Of everbearers have
been grown and tested by the horti-
cultural division of the NJ. A. C.. ex-
pertinent station, with the following
results, as outlined by Mr.. Loree:
THE Progressive and Superb are
the best known varieties Of the ever
bearers. They are both very hardy
and the plants will ripen a good crop
of berries the same season they are
planted. Progressive is usually the
more productive, and is less subject
TO diseases than Superb. Superb is
an excellent variety, but is very sus-
ceptible to the disease known as
strawberry yellows,' and for this
reason it should be replaced by other
more resistant varieties.
"Of the other varieties tested,
Champion ard Watson's Prolific are
the most promising. They are SIM
liar in many respects to Progressive,
and it is believed by some that they
are the same variety. In the test
plots this season, how ever, Champion
mas proved 10 be more vigorous and
productive than any Of the other va
rieties grown"

PETTICOATS AGAIN IN STYLE
Interest in the Garment Is Stimulated
by Fact That Outer Skirt Is

The increased skirt length, which Is
an assured fact for fall and winter,
has served to stimulate interest in the
petticoat. This garment, which to a
large extent has been taboo in favor
of bloomers during the last few sea-
sons, seems destined to have a run of
favor again.
Among the undergarment novelties
recently seen, one that Is distinctly
practical, as well as novel, is a step-in
