her daughter Elizabeth, Mrs. w. w. S. Bliss,
acted for her.
Willard Fillmore was born in a log cabin in
Cayuga County N. Y, but in that wilderness
cabin one book shone out like beacon to
cover the poverty Of all other possessions. 1t
was the Bible" The future President learned
to read under his mothers direction, and his
text was the Scriptures. Later he was instructed
by Amos Castle, q strict Puritan He studied
law with Judge Walter Wood, a devout Quaker.
He came under other religious influences
throughout his life" A Unitarian, he was an
ardent advocate of liberty of conscience. While
in office he attended AL Souls Church and,
occasionally, st. Johns.
Mrs Fillmore was Abigail Powers, daughter

bride did not Immediately abandon her school,.
The young couple struggled upward togeth
When they reached the White House t'e
partnership was but confirmed. However, three
weeks after they had retired to private life.
Mrs Fillmore died. She had been in fral
health for many months, and her daughtec,
Mary Abigail, had been hostess in her name.
While able to do so, Mrs. Fillmore had gone
with her husband to church each Sunday
morning.
FRANKLIN PIERCE is said to have been II
member OF no church, but he considered
himself an Episcopalian. He was a defender
of the principle Of religious freedom and took
an active part in the struggle to nberalize the
State law in New Hampshire In that respect.
IN Washington, he worshiped at the First
Presbyterian Church and, presumably at st.
Johns.
His wife, Jane Appleton Pierce, was
If fI,o Ann
of Bowdoin College, Maine. She was Congre-
gationalist, "a woman of rare accomplishments
and noble character. Just before the Inaugural
ton of her husband their little son was killed
in a railroad accident, and Mrs. Pierce, there
fore entered the White House in mourning.
While First Lady she gently requested all the
attaches of the Executive Mansion to go to
church"
James Buchanan was Presbyterian, but he
had no direct connection with the church until
after he had retired from politics. His father
was IAN honest and religious man." his mother

was Scotch Irish, and Presbyterianism was an

SHIELDS BEATS.
PARKER AGAIN

CASINO, NEWPORT, R. L,
Aug. II G.N.SO.-Failing to come
through in the pinches, frankie
Parker, 17-year-old Milwaukee
sensation, after a strong start,
went down to defeat before Fran
els x. Shields, of New York. in
the quarterfinals of the Newport
Casino tennis tournament today.
The score was 2-6, GA, Us.
Parker, for three years national
champion, was not seeded IN the
tournament, but his brilliant play
on the courts this year, bowling
over favorites, made him one OF
the outstanding players.
He started with steady play IN
the first set, and took 1t before
the rugged Shields was warmed up.
Several times in the succeeding
sets, however, he faltered at the
crucial moments, several times
making double faults. The match
was notable for its sustained rAl-
lies, particularly in net play,
where both players volleyed the
ball back and forth at blazing
speed.

With a lineup altered to suit
the strategy of Capt. Tommy
Hitchcock, the Eastern All-Stars
rode roughshod over the Western
quartet yesterday at Onwentsia to
win the second game of this Sc
ries, IL to 8. Broken was No. 4
man "Rube" Williams right leg.
Broken is the spirit Of the West
ern poloists as they contemplate
with dark foreboding the final
game next Sunday.
Very much unbroken, however.
seem to be the fine old polo
traditions of the East, where the
polo player speaks of the game
with a cockney accent and deals
strictly in goals anu Argentine
and English bred ponies.
Mixed Fans Watch
More than 10000 customers,
combining a strange mixture Of
blue-bloods and everyday folk, can
low attest 70 the superiority of
the Eastern team.
They'll never be more superior
horsemen than the bronco busters
from the Wes5. but they were
more accurate shooters and as
loug as the idea of polo is to get
the ball to a given place this ele-
ment of the game will be very
important.
The Eastern boys were off to a
3 to 0 lead before the Cowboys
could seem to recall this was a
polo game. In fact, the West did
not score until they had been
awarded a goal by an especially
palpable foul by Hopping. who
had been injected into the pro-
ceedings in lieu of Mike Phipps.
Once Tied Score
Only once were the Westerners
able to tie the score. The mac
curacy of the Western boys was
particularly shocking in the third
chucker when on one occasion
they missed as many as five
different shots that Tommy
Hitchcock would have accom-
plished on a hay wagon horse.
The West managed to make it a
contest until the sixth chucker
when the East assumed a 10 to 7
lead.
Williams was hurt when his
mount tripped over Hopping's
horse and the Texan was caught
under the roll. His leg was frac-
tured. Without him, the West
can hardly hope to win this

Buffalo Man Claims
Daily Double at
Fort Erie

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. IT.
Leo ]. Haffner, of this city, to-
day claims he was the winner
of the daily double at the Fort
Erie, Ont, race track yester-
day. The ticket paid $2,967. .35
for 50 when Dark Altos won the
first race and Fire Reel the Sec
ond.
Haffner lost the ticket but
notified the ticket seller after
Dark Altos romped home. Later,
after Fire Reel won, another
man presented the ticket at the
window and the track officials
withheld payment. Haffner
asserts he will engage counsel
and take legal action should the
track refuse to recognize his
claim.

Your throat and bronchial tubes are
lined with millions of pores like tiny

to the delicate tissues until you

Then these "bottles" get plugged up,

Gus germs a breeding place. Your throat
feels hot and dry. Tickling, irritation
and coughing set in.
Your cough will be cured only when
the flow of the natural fluid is increased,
loosening the phlegm so that it can
be expelled. Many cough remedies"
contain numbing drugs which merely
deaden the nerves but don't get at
the root of the trouble.
PERTUSSIN, a scientific remedy,
