Hoosier Woman Recalls
Lincoln at Her Wedding

I'VE explained the situation to
a doorman, and he took us to the
Presidents Office.

Lincoln asked US. We told him and
he sent for a Baptist minister.
After the ceremony President Lin

bride. The minister did!
i was rather hoping the Presi-
dent would, too. But he didn't!

that party was scheduled for the

when the guests arrived news of
our wedding spread.

They served a midnight supper
in our honor"
In the early part of the war
Chandler Joined the southern
forces. In short tin1e, however
ne surrendered and asked per.
mission to fight in Lincoln's army.
This was granted and Mrs.
Chandler did not hear from him for
five years. The sentiment against
a man who dared fight against his
own family eventually died down
and he returned home.
Bride Was Waiting
His White House bride was
waiting for him.
The Chambers moved to Indiana
soon after and reared family Of
four.
Chandler died some twenty-five
years ago and his widow is sup

In the pension record is found
what probably is the only official
record of the Chandler wedding in
the White House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-"Old
Ironsides." the sturdy hohy-horse
on which President Coolidge goes
for a dressing room gallop three
times daily, has taken the national
capital by storm. Incidentally no
small portion of the storm is CEN
tered in and about the White House
as result OF the news leaking out
Every one is asking how the in
door Dobbin happened to become the
vogue with the executive. Here is
how:
While the President enjoyed horse
back riding he suffered somewhat
from a nasal affection which is ag-
gravated by the effluvia arising
from a horses hide and any dust
that might be kicked up by can
ter along the roads. Added to this
was the feeling Of secret service
men that outdoor riding was at
tended by unnecessary dangers.
Gift Of Classmate
So the President cast around for
something similar because his doc
tor recommended this type of exer-
else.
Mentioning his dilemma one day
to a luncheon guest, said to have
bene Dwight Morrow. New York
financier and classmate Of the Presi-
dent at Amherst, the guest replied
he had couple OF the electro-rne-
chanical PAGERS which he recon-
mended. and, If the President would
permit, he woule send him one.
The horse arrived at the back door
of the White House. The President.
it was said, enjoyed secrecy. Elk
istence OF the horse never could be
confirmed until some one inno-
Gently let it out Wednesday. The
horse is made of iron and has no
head or tail, though equipped with
a Regular Army saddle and stirrups.
The control buttons are placed in
front of the saddle and It now is
reported there are only two--pace
and canter-but with three speeds
each.
Mr.. Coolidge apparently does not
don gymnasium suit to ride it.
Fer one Of the three daily ten
minute periods he uses it shortly
before breakfast Then there rs a
brief canter soon after lunch and a
brisk gallop before bedtime.

FITZSIMMONS SURE
HE'LL GET BIG BOUT
By the Associated Press.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. Mex, August
S.-That the road to a Dempsey-W Wills
fight near Chicago some time next
Summer is particularly clear now was
the belief expressed here tonight by
Floyd FitZsimmons. Michigan City
promoter, on his way from Los An
geles to New York to sign Wills for
the match.
He exhibited Dempsey's signature
to what he said was tentative agree
ment contingent on Wills coming TO
terms, also telegram from Paddy
Mullins. Wills manager. asking him
to come TO New York and talk busi-
ness If he had Dempsey's signature.
While Dempsey's signature is not
attached to a formal contract, Fitzsim-
mons said. it is attached to an agree
ment on terms highly pleasing to the
champion under which he is willing to
fight the negro challenger Fitzsim-
mons expects little difficulty in getting
Wills to sign, as the match for which
he has been negotiating is his for the
stroke of pen.
One of Dempsey's stipulations is
that an arena seating at least 100. 900
must be built for the match. Fitz-
simmons has agreed to do this. He
believes this fight, staged in the
vicinity of Chicago, will draw $500
900. Chicago alone will turn out
10000 persons to see the battle, he
believes.
Fitzsimmons intimated that Wills
would be required to agree not to
meet Tunney or any other heavy
weight who might throw a monkey
wrench into the machinery by fight
ing Wills. FitZsimmons does not be.
lieves Tunney has chance of de-
feating Wills, but will not take any
risk of having the match ruined by
injury to the negro battler
Fitzsimmons will arrive in New
York, Tuesday morning on the
Twentieth Century limited.
