Some Famous Children of History
Theodosla Burr, the only child of Aaron
Burr, was born in 1783. when the American
Revolution waa ending and the great Amer
ican republic was Just coming Into being.
Her childhood was spent at Richmond
Hill.' In Greenwich village. This waa a
atately old mansion which had been occu
pied by General Washington in 1776. After
the retreat of the American forces to Har
lem It was tenanted oy various British of
ficers. . The year 17, which marks the
beginning of the government, also marks
the occupancy of this old house by Vice
President John Adama and his family.
Mrs. Adams, while she lived In the great
mansion; wrote glowing letters to the
beauty of the settings of her suburban
bomeivyu ,
;Lrttl Theodosla was a child of 14 when
her father leased. the house on May 1, 17v7.
At tht Vme ber mother had been dead
three years, and the little motherless girl
was the object of her father's deepest af
fection. The two were constant compan
ions, and the precocious little girl, who
had been educated by her father himself,
was practically the head of the establish
ment. 11 r. Burr immediately furnished the
house sumptuously snd put a handsome
Ox Proves He
After nearly fifty years' retirement from
a,-tiv- service, the faithful, patient ox has
again come Into recognition as a motive
power in the lumbering Industry of north
ern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.
The ox Is also coming into favor among the
frontier settlers of these states. The
reason is the. high price of feed for horses.
There l little or no hay grown In these
sections and as the Imported article costs
from $'-') to 130 per ton. it Is quite out of
the question, profitably, to use horses on
the homestead and keep them In Idleness
all winter, or use them In the woods for
two months In the winter and keep them in
Idleness d'Jrtng the summer. Hence the ad
vent of the ex. There la sufficient food to
be found to maintain these animals during
the summer In the woods along the
streams and marshes, and both lumbermen
and homesteaders are at little or no ex
pense for their "keep." During the winter
the settler feeds his animals on root crops
he has raised during the summer or loans
them to the woodsmen for their board dur
ing tha winter. With tha exception of feed
for the winter months, when he la getting
value received In labor, the lumberman has
little expenae. compared with that of
horses. Theae need rare and feed the year
round and cannot well aubsist nn tha wild
