against those who had gone Sc

that Andrew Jackson Jr. was one
of his principal sureties. More
over, as the panicky creditors
began to press their claims, 9TH
er debts which young Jackson
had contracted, unknown to his
father, came to light.
"Old Hickory" tired and i'll as
he was, rose superbly to the occa-
sion. First he made certain ar
engagements with the Ward cred

he decided definitely to go to New

James in his Andrew Jackson

real object was to relieve his
son.
1.-THE time was short. On De-

Nashville and drew in advance
on his cotton. After paying two
notes for young Andrew and a
few other bills only enough re-
manned for travelling expenses to
New Orleans. So he borrowed
$4,000 which was placed to the
credit of his son.

expensive piano, also on the in
stallment plan.
Nor was this his only extrava-
gance, for while Jackson was
making plans for the journey to
New Orleans he received a let
ter from his old friend, Maj. Will
liam B. Lewis, asking that a
note for $3.50, signed by young
Jackson and already two years
overdue, be paid. This money
had been used to buy a carriage
and Andrew Jr. had assured his
father that the money had al
ready been repaid.

to clear my son from his foolish

are all exhausted, I can do no

given up his plans for going to
New Orleans. Then came a
crushing blow.
It was the financial collapse Of
Albert Ward, a son of one of
Jackson's old friends and one Of

than ever before this year as Amer

Swedish "smorgasbord." The table
is generally placed in the center Of
the room and covered with any kind
of linen suitable for the occasion.
Plates are placed in a pile at one

Do 1t This Way:

Plan a "clock party" to entertain
your guests New Years eve. For
this you'll need all the alarm and
striking" clocks you can find Set

GEN. ANDREW JACKSON, 1915
A miniature on ivory made In
New Orleans by Jean Francois
Vallee, a Frenchman who painted
in the "Napoleonic tradition"
War department rifles having ar
rived. Andrew jackson expected
his victory to have bearing on
the tedious negotiations he as
sumed to be in progress at Client.
but he took no chances"
AS rumors that a treaty OF
peace had indeed been signed be-
gan to drift into the city, the dis
satisfaction with Jackson's re-
strictions on the citizens of New
Orleans and the resentment of
the volunteers and the militia
against being kept under arms in
creased. There were frequent
assertions and finally open mu-
tiny. To deal with both, Jackson
used the same iron hand with
which he had ruled his soldiers
during the campaign against the
Creek Indians. This brought him
into a collision with the civil au-
thorities.
Clash With Civil Authority.
Federal Judge Dominick A.
Hall was determined to establish
the fact that a writ of habeas
corpus issued in his court should
not be superseded by the rules
of martial law. Jackson had not
only dared to disregard such a
writ but had arrested Hall for
"aiding, abetting and exciting
mutiny within my camp" and
locking him up. Freed when
martial law was revoked at the
receipt of the news of the peace
treaty, Hall had mounted the
bench again, issuing a summons
directing Jackson to show cause
why he should not be held in con-
tempt of court for his refusal to
recognize the writ of habeas
corpus.
So it came to pass that late in
March, 1915, the Hero of New
Orleans" stood before the bar of
civil justice and heard Judge Hall
impose upon him a fine of $1,000
and costs but refrain from includ-
ing Imprisonment in the sentence
because it twas impossible to
forget the important services of
the defendant to the country"
After that jackson walked out
of the courtroom the idol of the
cheering crowd. They unhitched
the horses and dragged his car
riage to the Exchange Coffee
House"
The idol of New Orleans he re-
NAMED until his departure in
May for his home in Tennessee.
That departure was taken in
triumph-public farewells, private
leave-takings, exchanges of cost
ly gifts. A purse was raised to
discharge the fine imposed by
Dominick Hall, but Andrew Jack
son waved it aside, requesting
that the money be distributed
among the families of soldiers
who had fallen in battle"

his first public appearance in
nearly three years"
A Near-Tragic Journey.
Concerning that near-tragic
journey and its results, James
also writes:
New Years day of 1910 was
spent aboard an Ohio river pack
ct menaced by drifting ice. At
Memphis Jackson obtained from
Albert Ward pledges which he
hoped would balance Andrew
Jr.'s obligations to the Ward
creditors
ION January 4, the steamer
Vicksburg, chartered by the state
of Mississippi and loaded with
notables, took the General
aboard. What followed was a
nightmare. Stricken with a hem
orrhage which made every breath
torture, the veteran drummed out
the last reserves of his will-power
determined to go through with
the journey or fall in the strug-
gle.'

ing never eased PAIN he said.

speeches, the pageantry, the fire.
works, the shouting, were some
how endured for 10 days and
nights. Leaning on his cane, the
chieftain slowly mounted the

canal. Dim old eyes looked Oh a
level field of cane stubble :.
which memory may have peo-
pied with pulsing platoons in red
tunics latticed by white ross
belts /. hedges of bayonets re-

Thus did the Hero of New Or
leans look upon the scene of his
triumph a quarter of a century
earlier where he had won that
amazing victory with which, in
the words of another biographer
Gerald w. Johnson in his AN
drew Jackson-An Epic in Home
spun''), he had "saved the self
respect of the country" Because
of it that country was Literally
crazed with JOY and in its de-
lirium flung the name of Andrew
Jackson against the stars"
A Hero Goes Home.
After the Today celebration
was over Jackson started for his
home in Tennessee. "Alone in the
cabin of a homeward bound
steamer, the pain passed and a
feeling of peace filled the heart
of the soldier" writes James,
HE hoped he had done some
thing to save Mr.. Van Buren,. In
any event he believed he had
saved Andrew"
AS it turned out, both hopes
were vain. For in the tumultuous

of the White House and installed

in his place.
AS for Andrew, it is true that
his foster father Saved" him
but only temporarily. For the
young man seems to have had a
perfect genius for bad business
practices and before the weary
old General had laid down his
burdens on June g., 1845-fve
years and six months, to a day,
after his triumphant return to
New Orleans-those burdens had
been added to, by his foster son,
to the extent of $4,000.
