THE VICE-PRESIDENCY. Few Men Have Risen From Second to First Place. The nomination of .Senator Fairbanks as the vice-presidential candidate on the ticket with Roose velt brings into ligh1t nce ag::in tie rather chbscure seconi Tice and some intcresting stattstics: conccrn ing it. says the At!allta V-.urIn!. Of the 25 persons who have been elected vice-presidert of the United States. about one-third of them. or eight. have attained the presi<iential office. either by sub1se quent election or by the leaflt of the president. and tve .f them' ied in office. Those who were electcfd vice president and were after ward elected to the presidency are John Adams. who wa- vice-president for two full terms and wa5 then elect ed president: Thomas Jeffereon. who was vice pre-idcnt dinrig the :erm John Adams: Martin Van BTren. who was vice-prcsidnlit in .\.dr-w .ack son's !a-t term and w.asthen e'e:< to sUcceed him. If Mr. Rooseveh's electors Shoi( 'd 7eeeted in Novem b-r next that w.in!d afr another to the list. Those who have gon in.t the e( ecutive through the death of the pres ident are john Tyler. who became president upon the deathl of Villiam Henry Harrison about one month after the latter was inaugurated. and so served nearly a full term: Milliard Fillmore. who succeeded Zachary Taylor one year and four months after the inauguration of Taylor: Andrew Johnson, who served all of Lincoln's second term but a month: Chester A. Arthur. who succeeded James A. Gar field and served three and one-half years. and Theodore Roosevelt, who succeeded William McKinley six months after his second inauguration. The office of vice-president, inde pendent of the possibility of succes sion to the presidency. has never in the years past been considered an un desirable position. Except for those who have extravagant ideas, the salary of $8.ooo a year is a most lib eral one for a place which is regarded as almost a sinecure. It is the constitutional duty of the 'vice-president to preside over the senate, and that is his only duty. As he can take no part in the debates and has no vote except in case of a tie. his presence in the senate has never been deemed necessary. except when that body is about equally divided politically. and thzt does not. often happen. It is the custom for the sen ate to elect a president pro tem. and he is more often on duty. The office of vice-president is one of great dig nity. but of little political power or consequence except so far as the pos sibility of the succession may confer them. FEDERATION SCHOLARSHIPS.

"Well. Janet." said the minister. good-humoredly: "let's hear you try "Come awa' wi' a text, then." quoth she. He repeated with emphasis. "It is btr to dwell in the corner of the housetop. than with a bawling wo man and in a wide house." Jatnet lired up instantly. "What's that ye say. sir? Dae ye ;1:t'end ony'thing personal ?" "Sin tp!" broke in the pastor: "vou neve(r would do for a minister." "And what for no?" said she. "Because. Janet. you crome ow~er ,on to the application." Stockholders' Meetings.
