Arthur saw that this was of places' are open equally to self-re specting applicants, regardless of par ties or politicians. Arthur also was the useful Instru ment In carrying forward the recon ciliation of the sections. He was the first president in his generation who made no reference In his annual mes sages to the South, or to a Southern Question. He was indeed almost the first president in 50 years who felt tree to ignore the unhappy issues of sectionalism. Hayes put out of the New York cus- much of the time, but his little daugh- tbm house as a spoilsman and a politi-j ter, Nellie Arthur, lit up the housed boss, should find himself in the hold with her song and laughter. White House seven months after Mrs. Arthur died *nl in the year be- Hayes left it and conducting a reform fore her husband's unexpected rise to administration.

Bemidji, Minn. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1920 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER When he stepped into the White House Arthur found his party rent by factions. He left it more nearly united than it had been before in 20 years and wjth at least a chance to win again in 1884. He might him- self have been the Republican nom inee in that year if he had not scrupu lously refused tor take an active part in promoting his ^candidacy. He looked as well as acted the presi dent The first city man in a line of ratal or small town men, Arthur was the best dressed man to sit in the chair since- Washington, and perhaps the handsomest, with a tail, graceful fig ure, the manners of the great world and a grave but easy courtesy., Although a widower president, his sister, Mrs. McElroy, was a charming mistress of the White House and under them the social life of the mansion took on a more sumptuous tone. His scm and namesake was away at school side was a haunting sorrow to Ar* port of New York, whom Garfield ths hadeappointed, againBt his protest, he officeholder to him in the convention. i leav his post and oppose thrust I permitted that 5 i it to clean-louse, ^^m^" contest at the national conv The race for preferment had excited: No other president has done so little an unnatural appetite for public office, and the getting of a job was regarded ar exhilarating sport From police- ^"^.y^eman .and, letter carrier, tc efshlp and consulship, every place jthjs the payroll of city, state or nation Went by, faor.

Nevertheless, the difficult first step had been taken toward the present com prehensive system, when all but a few hundred of the hundreds of thousands as Arthur did to obtain a second term It was well, not only for the sake of the high example he set, but for his own sake also. Arthur's health was not equal to the strain of anSiher administration and another term in the White House, where he lived not wisely but too well. In less than two years after leaving the presidency, fol lowed by the good will of all the peo ple, he was dead of apoplexy. What Price the Fool?

Mingled wonder, Indignation and alarm' were excited in the public mind ever a will left by Peter Thelusson, a Frenchman, who died on July 21, 1797. It appears that the testator bad accu mulated a large fortune us a London merchant, and by the provisions of hit will he left to his wife and children the sum of 100,000, and the residue of his property, amounting to about 600,000, he committed, to trustees, to accumulate during the lives of bis sons, and finally to revert to hl9 eldest great-grandson. Should no beir exist, the accumulated prop erty was to be conveyed to the sink bag fund for the reduction of the na tional debt According to the lowest calculation it was estimated that the fortune would amount to 19,000,000. The will was generally stigmatized aa absurd and illegal, and the family test ed it in court, where It was sustained, as It was likewise in the house of lords. In 1800 an act was passed making pull all bequests for the purpose of ac cumulation for longer than twenty years after the testator's death. 'The last grandson died in 1856, and a dis pute arose as to whether the eldest son's grandson should inherit or the eldest great-grandson. It was decided in favor of the former. By reason of litigation and accidents of management the fortune Inherited was little more than the original 600,000. Very Likely. "What do you suppose the next re ports from Mexico will be?"
