There! was nothing In my experience more charming than a visit to her bouse. Everything about the place was entirely primitive. Old cord bedsteads, queer chairs and tables and pieces of crockery and china that I ached to possess, but which the mistress of the establishment was far too "careful" to glveiaway. Nothing about the house was ever purchased except for utility.

There waa r.o ornamentation, only the barest necessities: yet it was a treat to go' there. 1 have sat In the queer sitting room of the old. low log house on a gray winter afternoon when the fir was roaring In the big chimney and the bar branches whipping in the wind against the tiny square windows. nnd felt myself wrapped In a charm stronger than any I have found In modern circles bright people. I think the charm lay in the absolute genuineness of the woman and her surroundings.

This Charming old lady, waa also a godsend to my sleepy "morning service" hours. She wore a black silk bonnet of a style popular In th early thirties. A black lace veil, wlUi a rubber cord on one edge, was stretched around the bonnet and hung over the face, or waa thrown back, at the pleasure of the wearer. Bhe also wore a long black satin cloak of a circular pattern, which I regarded with awe, having heard my mother aay It could "stand alone." I attributed this to some occult Influence until I learned later that it waa the fine texture of the material that gav It its "standing" qualities. There was a blsck wicker basket with handles, which this old lady brought to church on her arm, and which waa a mystery to most of the congregation.

I waa very proud of knowing what was In It. but also very miserable at not being allowed to tell. Th old lady was a relative of oars, and our knowledge of what she carried in her basket was a sort of family secret. Now that she has departed this life, and la at rest with all the quaint people who used to lighten the burden of my religious training, it will be no harm to tell thai she carried her silver spoons in th basket. She had inherited a great many very fin silver' spoons from; various branches of her family, and always carried them with her wherever she went.

We used to wonder If she would not want to take them to heaven With het. as she had carried them to church ao many years. a Perhaps the village is no richer ln odd types, than the city. It may be that In our slow going way yr hava more time to observe than have the busy city people, and in the freedom of our manners and customs more scope for the working of orlgtnality, but all city people seem alike to me. People who have a pleas ant home in a country town have ddubl advantages.

The country is In easy reach. There: are miles and miles of fields and hills, woods and sky to be seen for the asking; Things that are luxuries In the city are matters ot fact her. It Is quite possible to bring children up to the real appreciation of life In a country town. There is more, to be learned, more to be taken theflnger ends; The theory of manual teaching Is exemplified more clearly In a place where things come to us at first hands. We know more about the common things of life, because we see the elements of life all around ua.

It Is a treasure of the neighboring creek or river, and the luring of it Irom Its hiding place, a delightful and instructive snort.

So with everything that furnishes village table, Who that haa gathered mushrooms will denyihat the search for them adds xest to the eating?

How dlf ierent from the life of the woman who goes from luncheon to dinner, from dinner to reception, in a ceaseless round of aocial. "duties'! (ml all possible occasions I raise my feeble protest against affectation.

In a city one sees so much of it that on comes back Into the open air and fre life of the country, taking in big breaths. Women take more readily to affectation than men. They hold their mouths In a sort of affected pucker, supposed to be lady like, and they manage their voloes, their pronunciation, their eyebrow in an unnatural way.

bBard of public works. Kentucky A va. Opening Artificial Ga Union St. Improvement. The Board of Public Works had a quiet session to day.

Lawson M. Harvey inquired about the opening of Kentucky avanu through West Indianapolis, and was informed that no action had been taken.

in tho matter next The board sent a request to the city attorney for an opinion on the position the Indianapolis Gaa Company has taken in refusing to extend Its artificial gas lines In Illinois street, because fifteen burners have not been guaranteed for every square through which the extension would pass. The board wanta to know if the company has the light to refuse to extend Its lines If the number burners subscribed, divided by fifteen, averagea Af teen to each 600 feet. The company takes the stand that this wcAild be against its contract with the city. The board sent a note to the Council urging the necessity' of prompt action in general ordinance No. 43.

a' THE INDIANAPOLIS jSTEWF, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1G, 1900. 'President a Xf4aT Zicc Treridcnt But three times In the political history of our country have Vice Presidents been nominated and elected to succeed their chiefs, and the second offi is no longer considered as a stepping stone to' trie nrst, although at the beginning of our history, under the constitution, such was the case. Adams. Jeflrson and Van Buren were1 nominated and elected to succeed to the presidency, but since the days of Van Buren no one has seriously thought of making a presidential candidate out of a Vice President. This being so, it is one of the mysteries of politics that, under nearly every administration, beginning with that of Washington, and ending with that about to close, the relatione between thechlef executive and the second officer of the Government has been, to say the stralnd.

The case of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hobart was a notable exception to the rule. but. remembering the past, the people will look with a good deal of curiosity to see how McKinley and Roosevelt will stand toward each other a.

year or two hence. Washington and Adams got along peaceably enough together that is, there was no open outbreak between them, yet the relations were far from cordial, and Adams waa not a frequent visitor to the presidential mansion. During the war of the revolution. Adams had been th steadfast friend and adherent 'of Washington had. in fact, named him for tho position' of commander ln chlel of, the army; he had defended him on al occasions before Congress, and it was ot his motion' that i Washington waa made practically a dictator.

When the corii stltullon was adopted and it came time to elect a President, Adams was one of the warmest supporters of Washington, yet when they entered upon the duties of their respective offices they did not work in the most perfect harmony. (' Temperamental Qualities. The President waa a Southern man. full of the strong prejudices of the South against New Englanders, and as Congress sometimes proved refractory, Washington charged that Adams did' not sustain him with the force he ought to have done. Adams was stiff necked, and had but l.ttle of the placatory disposition necessary for the successful politician.

nd. In turn, often severely criticised he President. They each had a high steem for the patriotism and abilities of he other, but st.ll could not be called arm friends, Washington supported dams as his successor, in preference to Jefferson. The hostility between Adams and his mate. Jefferson, was open and of the most bitter character.

They had long been friends, had served tog ther In the Continental Congrtss. had been Joined on the committee to draft the Declaration of Independence. In France they had sagreed and became strongly opposed to each other, but had made up their differences. Dur.ng Wash ngton's administration they had been friends, and It was one of Washington's complaints against Adams that he was the friend of who had so bitterly assailed him and h.s administration. soon, however, as they became President and Vice President, a state of open war broke out.

Jefferson was by nature a conspirator, and Adams thought he was caballing. against him and endeavoring to make h.s administration a failure. In order to become hla successor. Jefferson had conspired against Washington, even while holding under him' the office of Secretary of Stdte. Adams land Jefferson.

AK the very flVst session of Congress Adams found trouble with that body, and be chxged it upon Jefferson. Jefferson had openly been a candidate for the first place against Adams, and as he possessed great influence with Congress, when that, body persistently rejected the measures favored by the President, he naturally charged it upon his second. The letters of each bear witness to the bitterness of feeling existing between them, and as both wielded very trenchant the scoring each received from the other was of the severest character. The bickerings of the two scandalised the good dtlrens of the capital and furnished much of the gossip for the news rer eas of the day. So bitter was Adams that! he would not attend th Inauguration of Jefferson.

This ill feeling existed for many years, but was finally ended when Mrs. Adams, on the death of a daughter of Mr. Jefferson. wroe the bereaved father a tender note of sympathy. Jefferson served two terms and had two Vice Presidents.

With" the first, Aaron Burr, he was from the very beginning on the moat bitter terms. While belonging to the same party there had been for some years a bitterness between the two. Both were ambitious. Jefferson waa the Ulysses of his party, and Burr the Achilles. In his letters to Burr, during the content between the two for the presidency, and just after Its ending.

Jefferson iwetended to be the warmest friend and admirer of the New Yorker, but to all others he was virulent In his denunciations of him, and charged him with trying to buy his election. Uurr. no less bitter than Jefferson, repaid bis animosity In kind, and as he had at his command a greater vocabulary of words of denunciation, his sayings and his writings maddened his chief beyond all powers of endurance. Jefferson being the more crafty of the two, was able to thwart his enemy at almost every turn, and finally caused his arrest for treason, and used every power of the administration to secure his conviction. His second Vlce waa George Clinton.

The hostility between the two was less in degree than that wh ch had existed between Jefferson and Burr, but It was very strong. Jefferson sneered at thle pretensions of Clinton, and Clinton, ln! his letters to h's New York friends, denounced Jefferson as an Ingrate. The Era of Good Feeling. Clinton served, also, a part of a term with President Madison, dying during his term of office. He.

and Madison got along somewhat, better than Jefferson and he had done, because Madison was of a more placatory nature than Jefferson, but there, was no co dlallty. Elbrldge Ge ry was Clinton's successor. At the el he had re elved more electoral vo es than Ma Ison. This occurred only once afterward, when Calhoun was elected. Ciciry was an astute politician and.

not withstanding he had a stubborn and rather violent disposition, he managed never to antagonize very strongly any of the leders of Us own party. He served le ts than two years before death claimed him, and thtrey, prooabiy, escaped a quarrel with his chief. Monroe easy, good nitured Monroe and Daniel D. Tompnins sei ved together eight years, without levep a cloud coming between them. Timpulns was without ambition, suave ind peasant, while Monroe was so even temps ed and good natured that he got allong for eight years w.th John Qu.ncy Adams as Secretary of State.

But the peace of that eight years was amply atoned for during the next two terms. i The first four years Adams was President and Calhoun Vice President. Adams and Calhoun were antagonistic by natur and education. Adams was the last remnant of the old Federal party, while Calhoun was the fiery advocate of the extremist doctrines cf State rights. Adams was a New Englander, who even then hated slavery, while Calhoun was of old Huguenot stock, and a firm believer in the divine origin of the Institution.

They had nothing In common between them but their opposition to Jackson. They hated each other cordially, and as both were masters of vigorous EnglUh their comments on each other were tinged with. rd hot lava. Extreme Examples. Calhoun was also Vice President under Jackson; and the bitterness that existed between, them la a part of the political hllory of the country Jackson had no faith in th South Carolinian, and re gatded him as a very dangerous man.

In turn Calhoun bated Jackson to the very utmost, and resigned his office to aiccpt a seat in the Senate that he might oppose th President to a better advantage. He revived the old scandals connected with the Indian wars, and made the most possible out of the Florida matter, and endeavored to' connect Jackson with the schemes of Burr. The war between the two was relentless and never ende 1 until Jackson died. With his second Vice President Jackson Je4 a "RuU tShty To fiot Life Harmoniously 15 41hr A A 4 A ii XUritttn Jor Tht Jt by TO. H.

SMITH was more happy. Van Buren was ambitious, and to attain the end of his ambitions was willing to do anything, submit to anything, a ad was the subservient servant of Jackson in all things. In return for his subserviency Jackson forced his party to nominate him aa hi successor, Richard M. Johnston waa Vice President with Van Buren. and war between the two waa declared soon after the inauguration.

Van Buren waa a smooth and cunning politician. I and aa Johnston bad a popularity owing to th belief that had killed Tecumseh. the President feared that popularity might raise him to the first place, and early sought grounds for a quarreL At the convention in 1M0 he aought to bring about the defeat of Johnston for renomlnatlon. and did induce th 8outhern I States to run Littleton W. Tazewell as an Independent candidate.

In th convention the war against Johnston waa exceedingly bitter. He waa ably defended by Joseph Holt, who afterward became so distinguished. Holt made a speech of such brilliancy as to attract the attention of the whole country to him. It was hla first public appearance. Other Instances.

Harrison did notj live long, enough to quarrel with Tyler, his Vice President, but had he lived the quarrel would have comer Tyler, on his accession to the presidency deserted the party that had elevated him. Polk and Dallas did net exactly quarrel, but were never on more than peaking terms. This waa mainly through the machinations James Buchanan. Dallas and Buchanan had ong bn rival candidates for th presidency, and Buchanan waa a man of strong animosities. At the tim the Democratic party waa quarreling with Polk over th Oregn question a grand banquet waa given in Philadelphia to Dallas, because of his opposition to the President on that question.

It waa at that banquet that Edward A. Hannegan. Senator from Indiana, gave the famous toast: "Oregon Every foot or not an Inch; 64 degrees, 40 minutes, or delenda est Britannia." A few days before. Hannegan had denounced Polk in the strongest terms in a speech In the Senate. For the one year that Taylor and Fillmore served logetiie, they gut along admirably.

Fillmore was a frequent visitor to the White iiouse, and loyally served his chief. I'teice starved ha whol term w.thout a Vice Pres.dent, William A. King dying w.thout assum ng the duties of his office. Tne oath was adm nlstered to him In Havana, Cuba, a few hours before hla deatn. Buchanan and Breckinridge wer antagonistic from the start.

parts, and had a contempt for Buchanan, and freely expressed it. His home at Washington was a rival of the White House in popularity with th politicians and the people. Buchanan attempted to ignore Breckinridge, as Polk, at his Instigation, had Ignored Dallas, but the Southerners rallied around Breckinridge. ajd In Congress he wielded as much, influence as did the President. So' powerful was the Influence of the Vice President that Mr.

Buchanan was frequently forced to yield to his demands. All the Southern members of' Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet consulted at all times with the Vice President. Buchanan had the patronage, but Breckinridge had the real influence and political power. Nearly all the Northern Democratic Senators sided with the Vice President, and during the last two years of Buchanan's administration the White House was almost deserted by the politicians of his party.

1 Better Belations. Lincoln and Hamlin got along admirably together. Lincoln would quarrel with no one. and Hamlin had too great confidence In Lincoln to want to quarrel with him. The two frequently consulted together, and the Vice President was always a welcome, guest at the Whit House.

Lincoln did not live long enough after hla second Inauguration to have any differences with Johnson, but it waa well known that Johnson's actions at th tim of his taking the oath of offlc not only disgusted the President. but alarmed him. It has been said that Johnson was never invited to the White House after taking his seat as Vice President, notwithstanding his counsel had been frequently sought before. Grant and Colfax were on the best of terms, and there were few. If any.

of the party leaders more frequently called Into consultation by the president. Mr. Lincoln had been the first of the Presidents to consult with the Vice President, and Grant followed that illustrious example during his first term, and the first year of his second. term, but as Sumner waa warring upon Grant, and It was thought Vice President Wilson sympathized too much with General Grant lost confidence in htm, but never quarreled with him. Hayes simply Ignored Wheeler.

So far as the White House was concerned, there waa no Vice president during the term of Mr. The Latest Example. Had Garfield lived there can be no doubt that he and Arthur would have become enemies. Garfield was ai man ot Impulse, easily swayed. He believed hi Piaine.

and Blaine hated Arthur, as the fmnd of Conkllng. The flght'was'on between Garfield and Conkllng. and It was believed that Arthur sympathised with the great New York Senator. Garfield distrusted Arthur, and was made to believe the Vice President was his foe, and being a man of Impulse he would, sooner or later, have cam to an open rupture with him. The conditions that existed between Clcve'and and Hendricks are well known.

Mi. Hendricks was strongly opposed to accepting the second place on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland, and only yielded to the earnest solicitations of his friends. As far back as 1S8 he had come very i eor leceivlng the 'nomination for President, and that was years before Mr. Cleveland was known In political life, and felt It a humiliation to take second place under him.

So It was that when he went to Washington as Vice President he hac no love for Mr. Cleveland, and tho President felt hostile to him. Mr. Hendricks never visited the White House but once after the Induction of Mr. Cleveland Into office.

All of the recommendations for appointments made by the Vice President were turned down, with the xcention of one, and in granting that the President mortally offended Mr. Hendricks. During his second term Cleveland quarreled with Stevenson, and frequently spoke of him in the most contemptuous terms. Harrison and Morton lived in peace, it the Vice Presldejvt was never consulted. As said In the beginning, McKinley and Hobart were the warmest friends, and the Vice President became not only a frequent visitor to the White House.
