The story Ls short one. In tho fall" ofHo Grecley, the editor of a newspaper V| New York, was elected President of the Uuited States.

He believed, among other things, that man ought W go to tho West to his bread, and long before he was chosen President he used to adrige everybody to move to that region as a euro for al the disasters |which could befall th human family. "As soon as he reached the execut tan?ion, which wo used to call i White House, President Greclcy org ized an army of two^>hjU^gd^ tbouii men, and proceeded to force the Seabo sttr-thtr poiut of-1 ejailtaost violence was u?4 rcre depopulated, i men, women and children, untlFthe v ?plains west ,ot Kansas were'reach when the pursuit ceased, arid ' thoVr ,m i|djfcslWMPsn% jlntinuous Huo wathj jk&j0to\1RUQ#%f0k*m}UM te| visit the East.
