of the property the brothers had accumu-

THERE are, according to the law of
i averages III future presidents living
in the United States today. One probably
is cooling or crying in his cradle, two are
in grammar school or high school, two
are in college two more settled down to
work, the ninth is making career at 10,
the tenth probably is well along in poll
ties at 10, and the eleventh may be among
those already prominently mentioned for
the office.
A BOUT 80 years ago, General Grant
n then president, remarked that he
never met small boy without wishing to
lift his hat, thinking the boy might some
day be president. General Grant would
have found one such small boy toddlmg
around little farm in Vermont and an
other the son of a country doctor in Mar
ion, Ohio. Woodrow Wilson was then a
frail college youth, William Howard Taft
stout lad entering Yale, and Theodore
Roosevelt narrow-chested. be-spectacled
boy of II.
NTHO and where are the boys who will
w be president in the next half-cen-
fury? Who and where the girls who will
preside over the White House?
Our lives, to be sure, are largely what
we make them: but little Miss Nobody
from Nowhere didn't abandon herself on
that doorstep in order to become Ameri-
cas- richest child.
