GROWING UP WITHWARREN HARDING
"The Course of True Love

Rack in-the days when the Marion, lil hold Warren Harding's hand and
ihrn..,h th n"nni'read his na!m and reveal the pro-
happy except the beetle-browed vil
lain." Heaven help the misguided man
who tries to write the romances in
the life of another man! He larks the
nerve, the vivacity of iiumagiuation
that is necessary to coloration; and
if be seeks to record the truth, and
nothing but the truth, he becomes
dull and proiix. Feminine minds are
best adapted to this work.
Aiuom Kiing Meet Hit Match.
Recently I read the romance in the
life of Mrs. Warren J. Harding.
which, of course, has everything to
do with the story of lovemaking I am

1 am not saying- that anything of
this kind dd happen; that a seeress
umphed arter the manner of the hero
in thet melodrama. He carried away
the lady and married her in the last
chapter; dr. as the affair would have
been presented on the stage, just be
fore the final curtain, with all hands
he went over backward the rider
slipped to the ground and when the
animal was prostrate, caught him by
the bridle, pinned his head to the
ground and sat on it until the Tiery
ie-d had time to give his better In
stincts a chance to work. The day's
lesson in the life of that horse was
on the subject of subjugation, as a
result of which he was prepared to
make better use of his horse sense
for the rest of his life.
This was the kind of dependable,
resourceful woman with whom War
ren Harding fell in love and finally
married, without aklng my consent

expression which I have seen hun-j
dreds of times, and which might have
meant anything from an ingrowing
desire to twist somebody's neck to
-Lord forgive them."
The dark man who entered the life
of Warren Harding was Amos H.
Kling. father of Florence Kling.
Amos Kling was reputed to be the
wealthiest man in Marion and as such
was accustomed to having pretty
much his own way. because most
people let him have it.
' But Amos Kling did not have his
orn way with his daughter, his only
daughter, by the way. Nor did he
have his own way with Warren Hard
ing. The wealthy man's will was, in
conflict with two wills equally as
strong as his. and these two wills
were aided and abetted by two hearts
that beat in harmony.
Now I am not going to imagine a
ong string of incidents in Warren
Harding's lovemaking. It has always
been my conservative opinion that
lovemaking is nothing to look at. that
a fellow has to be in it himself, up
to his chin to get the throbs of emo
tion that beat in the soul. It may
be different with feminine souls.
They may thrill by proxy I don't
know.
I know thl3. however, the town of
Marion was deeply interested in this
affair between Warren Harding and
Amos Kltng's daughter. Many of the
things I passed in my masculine way
were vitalized in the minds of the
women of the town and put in circu
lation on the wings cf the morninr
There were clandestine meet In rs
there alweys are where there are
Capulets and at times the coifnter
in the Star office, with its towering
ends furnished protection druing
snort, wntspered conversations.
But I'll be doggoned if I'm going
to tell anything 1 don't now. like a
romancer. My sympathies were with
the lovers and the time came when
the sympathies of most of the town
were with them. The exceptions
could be traced to persons who reared
the enmity or poor opinion of the
Dark Man.
The boys in the office were with
W G. in this affair of his heart as
they were with him in his newspaper
enterprise. While they couldn't help
in the one they could dig into their
work and assist him in making-a suc
cess or the paper. They liked Flor
ence Kling. as they Uked her arter
she became the wife of their em
ployer. A Feat in Horsemanship.
Florence Kline's girlhood was that
of a favorite child. She had two
brothers, but she more than they
seemed to hare inherited the strong
will and the restless energies of the
father. She was a social leader, pop
ular, and possessed musical accom
plishments, but' above all else she
was a daring horsewoman. She prob
ably knew more about horses than
four-rifths of the men in the town.
The high spirited animals were to
her liking.
An old-timer told me the story of
a day when Florence Kling's young
horse was trying to show his rider
lhat he was a little the best circus
performer in town and capable of
doing about as he pleased. In his
wild caperings. with the girl in the
saddle, he attracted a crowd of bus
iness men who stood around in help
less fear that the - girl would be
killed. But it didn't happen. The
horse overdid the performance, the
climax coming when he reared too
straight, overbalanced and fell. As

Ben V. Olcott to the effect that the
governor approved the ceremonies
of last night, and that he 1s in bar
mony and inaccord with the spirit
in which the gift was offered.
MaJ. J. Francis Drake presented
the cup. which he offered ror the
all-round efficiency tests at Camp
Lewis, and said that the cup was
symbolic 'of the esteem which he
bas for Company M. and also of dili
gent application - to dirty by tne
members of the company.
"During the war." said Major
Drake, "and since the war we have
heard much about H'O per cent
Americanism as applied to those
whose devotion is expended in the
interest of American institutions and
in America's welfare. IUis my
opinion that the members of the
national guard are 100 per cent Am
ericans plus. They are not only good
tax-payers, who vote, who are law
abiding, and who diligently observe
the demands of 100 per cent Ameri
canism, but they are willing to
spend a part of their time, their en
ergies and sacrifice money and bus
iness demands that they may give
time inthe service of defensive or
ganizations, so that when the oc
casion presents itself these men will
be ready. National guard men are
100 per cent Americans plus."
.Major Drake said that the best
records made by the American army
in the recent war were made by
men who had seen service and done
dnty 'in national guard organiza
tions. He presented the cup to Capt.
Leroy Hewlett, commander of Com
pany M.
Captain Hewlett Proud.
Captain Hewlett thanked Major
Drake for the trophy offered him.
and then spoke briefly to the men
of Company M. He spoke of their
achievements as being worthy, and
admonished his company to continue
in the direction of their present pro
gress. He expressed pride in the
work of the company.
