Show HE WAS WITH BEN- A Ganttamaa Who Mat tha Prraldent la ttie Araua ot Ilabata, Dr. Thomas Graham, a veteran of the United States marine hospital service ser-vice arrived in the city on his way to Washington where he is summoned to apnear before the retiring board. Dr. Graham is a gentleman of decidedly decid-edly striking appearance. The lofty hat with its shining crown would excite the envy of almost any man whose fancy runs in the diroetiou while his easy manner at once points him out as one of the old school. In a hasty interview with the voyager it was learned that he too had met l'reai-deut l'reai-deut Harrison iu the forum. That, however.was when they were fledglings ia Cincinnati in 110-7, when one was matriculated in a school of law and the other in a school of medicine. In those days the debating society offered tho rising statesmen opportunity opportu-nity to display their genius and the chief man of the nation was one of its most enthusiastic members. Dr. Graham Gra-ham hardly expected when he left for California that he would next meet his old confrere as the president pres-ident of the greatest nation on earth. He will renew his journey tomorrow and has probably seen the last of active service unless it be upon the stump. |
