Harry made a joking re- j mark that he never expected to be presi- r dent of the United States, but that he j could do something which the president of the United States could not do. There- j upon he turned a handspring over the f bed. ! "You can't bluff me," said the presi- j dent, who immediately performed the J feat. An hour later he was lying prone J in the nnsylvania station, struck by an assassin s bullet. I The country is now waiting to see if ! Harry Garfield can take another hand- ! spring.
