not athletic by nature, and was salts

other physical exercise was pre-
scribed at Mercersburg. Little CARS"
interest turned more to the literary
activities of the school. He became
reporter on the academy paper,

spring of 1924 was elected secre-

had charge of all letters to the
editor" from a lively public" of 500

flciency won for him the coveted
honor of Upper Middler Year appoint

archaeological examination of

dangerous. Botulinus was not

For what is believed to be the first
time in history both a President of
the United States and his wife have
died within the term for which the
President was elected The Harding
household, which moved SO happily
from Marion to Washington less than
four short years ago. has been wiped
out. Childless and with but few close
relatives, the Hardings lived alone in
Marion. They lived alone in Wash
ington. After Monday next they sleep
alone in the tomb of Marion Gene
terry, once more side by side.
To those who participated in 1t, 1t
seems but step back to the March
night of 1921 that Warren and
Florence Harding set out by special
train for the inauguration in Wash
ington. 1t had been a gala evening
among the old friends in Marion. and
when train time came it was found
that goodly part of Marion was on
board. The attainment of ambition
was at hand. Few, if any, in the
happy company gave thought to
the possibility Of 50 complete trag-
edy that was to come to the President
and his Duchess" as he always
called his wife.
Feared for Health.
Yet the folks of Marion knew that
Mrs. Harding long had been a suf-
ferer from kidney attacks, and had
had to undergo an operation. There
were some so bold in their solicitude
FOR Mrs. Harding as to warn her to
take good care of herself at all times
and not to try to do too much They
feared for her good health, and felt that
# either of the Hardings were to
break under the strain it would be
the wife rather than the husband.
But it would seem that the White
House is impartial in the toll it ex-
acts from those who plunge too deep
