SI JAWKINS
SEES AND
HEARS BRYAN
Having Come in From his Ridge
Home Tuesday.
JUST A FEW OBSERVATIONS
MADE BY THIS EAGLE-EYED OLD
MOUNTAINEER..
Although Silas is a Democrat Bred and
Born he has Absorbed Some Republi-can
“Flzon” into his Unterrified Veins
And as a Result was Greatly Surprised
to Find That the Distinguished Ne-braska
Statesman was Entirely Devoid
of Horns.
Old Si Jawkins atubled into onr office
last Tuesday afternoon and, taking a
seat, delivered himself of a soliloquy
after this fashion:
"Yas, I come down ter hear this
apossel of Democracy, this here man
Bryne. Now yer Uncle Si hes always
been a old-time Dimoerat. I used ter
vote early at ev'ry election, an’ would
hev also voted often, ef et hedn’t a been
fer the outrageojis conduct of unfeelin’
Republican election officers in a prevent-in’
of my doin' it. I tell yer, in them
days I felt mos’ mighty sure thet the
Republicans was a seriously damagin’
the liberties o’ the faithful. But in
these here last few years, sence this
man Bryne got so blamed big. I’ve been
a lot like the other old Dimeeratic
saints like Grover an’ Gorman and
Davehill, an’ I’ve hed more or less o’ the
pizon o’ Republican learn in’s distilled
inter me. So, when I seen thet Parson
Tussing an’ hiB Sunday school folks was
a goin' ter hev Bryne here ter give a
speech, why, I jist made my plans ter
come down an’ see the feller what hes
made all tho trouble.
•:I got down jist in time ter see the
crowd a settin’ out in thet thar open car,
with the band a tootin’ like all possess-ed,
an’ the flags a flyin'. Wall, tin’ly,
when they got back from Tarrtown a
bringin of him with ’em, they looked
sorter bedraggled like, fer they was no
gittin’ around it thet the weather man
did giv ’em a ginuine Dimeeratic day
of it this time, snre. An’ es the car
come a sailin’ down the hill, with thet
great.eityzen a hangin’ onterthe brake-handle
on the hind platform, my, but
it was a thrillin’ sight. He was so blame
tall thet his hat was clar up under the
roof, an’ he looked ter ns jist es ef he
was a standin’ with his head In the
clonds. An’ all around him on the plat-form
was gathered the faithful ones,
with a look o’ rapt satisfaction a oozin’
down over their faces like ’lasses outer
a bnnghole. Et was a pretty picter,
now, ’deed et was, an’ I was real glad
as now I come down ter-day. An’ my,
the stirrin’ strains o’ them band fellers!
Didn’t they jist blow fer all they was
in et! It was real touebin’.
“I heerd the lecter, too. They was
one thing hes bothered me a whole lot
all afternoon. Sence Bryne come ter
be sich a big feller in the party, why,
I’ve been kinder allowin’ myself ter be
tempted inter a readin’ of papers pizon-ed
with Republican idees, which y’know
is worse than pretzels without salt on
’em. An’ somehow I hed got idees o’
Bryne which hes been seriously knock -
ed out ter-day. Now, maybe I wasn’t
s’prised when he come in outer tbe
stage at the op’ry house. Why, he’s a
very decent lookin’ feller. He come
nut onter thet stage dressed jist like any
other feller might a been. An’ I took
special trouble ter look sorter careful
like at his head, an’ reely, now, et
doesn’t look anyways like es ef he was
an idjit, ner anything like thet. ’Deed,
a seein’ of.him hes kinder flustrated me
like, fer et npsot so many idees of him
thet I hed got from a readin’ what the
papers says o’ him. An’ the decent way
he kin lecter beat anything I ever
beerd tell on afore. They was a feller
ont on the Ridge a lecterin’ last winter
on Love an’ Courtship, an’ the like, an’
we all went ter hear him, an’ we injoy-ed
et a heap, but y’can jist bet thet
Bryfie kin beat him ter a standstill in a
minute. I didn’t jist make ont much
o’ what he was a talkin’ about. Of
course, he’s a mighty big thinkin’ sort
of a feller, an’ ain’t in my class, so’s I
didn’t expect ter be able ter foller him
over ev’ry fence he might take emotion
ter jump, but yer Uncle Si did kinder
manage ter keep within hollerin’ dis-tance
o’ him, anyhow. An’ he did some
mighty fine handlin’ o’ langwidge, I kin
tell yer now. He hes a heap o’ a voice,
an’ he jist opens his month an’ out
come the words by the hunderds, all
troopin’ in decent order, and they sound
blamed pretty when he does it, too.
But they was one great bother ter me,
an’ thet was es ter how he ever made
ont ter talk so many words es he did an’
ANOTHER
OLD CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY
From a painting by P. Deschwanden
never get mixed up any with polytics.
Why, the papers hes been a tellin’ ns
fer years thet Bryne wasn't nothin’ but
a big, Mowin’ polytical talkin’ machine,
like one o’ these here otymatic fony
graphs. But thet there lecter o’ his'n
didn’t sound one bit like thet. Et was
real good, fine soundin’ talkin”, ev’ry
bit o’ it. Doesn’t et beat all, how them
polytical papers kin go on a talkin’
about a feller? Now, Bryne ’pears ter
me jist like a decent eityzen, an’ yet
how could" he be all thet, an’ him a
lookin so much es ef he might even be
a perfessor of religion, er a parson, too,
ef what them papers says about him
is so?”
Here Si paused and was deeply
thoughtful for some time. Suddenly
he looked up with a puzzled look, and
said:
“Yer don’t think fer a minute, do yer,
thet them Sunday-school folks could
hev been a palmin’ off some parson on
ns, now ? Thet feller looked like Bryne’s
picter, sure. Wall, either thet was
some other feller a talkin’ ter ns this
afternoon, er else they’s been a big lot
o’ things said about Bryne which isn’t
so. You kin mark et down thet I’m a
goin’ back up the Ridge right now ter
set a lot o’ our fellers up thar right es
ter the kind o’ a eityzen Bryne reely is.”

Hon. William Jennings Bryan visited
Mount Pleasant Tuesday last for the
first time and foralmosttwo hours drew
the closest attention of a fair sized au-dience
in the Grand Opera House where
he delivered a splendid address on “The
Value of an Ideal.” The gallery bad
been reserved for ladies and many of
the fair sex were present and enjoyed
the lecture fully as much as their
brothers. The subject was skilfully
applied to almost every walk of life as
only an orator of this great Nebraskan’s
well known ability can drive his pleas
home to his hearem There was no
politics in his speech in which many of
the periods were marked by hearty ap-plause.
Soon after the close of the
lecture the Colonel left for Uniontown
where he spoke on the same subject that
night.
Local Democrats did the great party
leader every honor in their power They
took a gaily decorated street car and

KILLED
HIMSELF.
Harry Hawk, a Oreensburg Boy, Suicides
Because of 111 Health and a Dis-appointment
in Love.
H PISTOL TO
Harry F. Hawk committed suicide at
hia Greenabnrg home Friday evening
last by blowing hia braina ont with a
88 calibre revolver becanae of ill health
and a disappointment in love. Death
reanlted almost instantly.
Yonng Hawk returned from the Car-bon
works of the Keystone Coal and
Coke Company, where he was employed
as bookkeeper, about 7 o’clock, and,
after eating hia supper, went up street.
He returned home shortly before 8
o'clock and without speaking to any
member of the family went to his room.
In a few minutes the report of a revol-ver
informed the boy’s parents of the act.
The victim waB 19 years old and a
step son of Louis Brnning, of Greens
burg. He was minimally intelligent and
was a student for a number of years at
both St. Vincent’s academy, at Latrobe,
and Mercersburg academy.
He left two letters, one for his mother
and the other addressed to his county
seat sweetheart, which explained his
motive for self murder.
The Point that Tells

what the thing is itself. "It" the cereal
that tastes good, does its own talking
"If" is made from nutritious, strength-giving,
brain helping grains. "It" of-etstem

kind. That anyone should allow this j tig9ne niabjug food. "It" giveB them

No Life, No Energy, No
Ambition.
These are common expressions novya
days and the linger posts that point
with unfailing accuracy to a nervous
condition to go on to complete mental,!
physical or sexual ruin as it surely must
if neglected, is a positive crime when
the cure is at hand in Dr. A. VV.

expressly for this condition—a medi-cine
that cures to stay cured by resnr-plying

Mrs. Joseph Shademan, of 826 8th st.,
Connellsville, Pa., says:—“I was in bad
shape—tired all the time—weak—ner-vous
and depressed—more or less head-ache
all the time. I was advised to try
Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills and got
some The medicine is Bplendid. It
gave me strength, energy, took away
the tired feeling and gave one of life.
My headache disappeared completely
I am sure I cannot say too much for the
Nerve Pills as they made me well and

A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, asfollows:
“I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given me
up. Then I was advised to use Electric
Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con-tinued
their use for three weeks and am
now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim.” N6 one

WHY DO THE BEST DRESSED
Men Deal Here ?
The best dressed men throughout this locality are men
who deal with us. The reasons they deal with us, and the
reasons they are the best dressed men, are of considerable im-portance
to every clothing buyer. This is one of the reasons
“why.”
Here is Reason No. 7.
A Rain Coat is a distinct necessity
for a man who aims to dress well—it
preserves the wearer from bad weather
and preserves his natty appearance as
well. A Mackintosh is passe and
clumsy—while Rain Coats are really
stylish. There is no hit of rubber about
our Rain Coats; they are made from
electrically water-proofed cloths, and
cut in the same styles as Overcoats—
you can never tell the difference at a
glance. o
We handle Schloss Bros. & Co.’s Rain Coats, which are,
like all their clothing, “The best in the world. ’ They are
made of widely famous Cravanette, or of their own elec-trically
water-proofed materials.

COL. BRYAN'S VISIT.
Hon. William Jennings Uryatt paid
Monnt Pleasant Ills first visit Tuesday
Inst and It Is safe to say that bis splen
did address on "The Value of an Ideal,"
delivered In (lie Grand Opera House
that, afternoon, raised him many degrees
in the estimation of those who have
been his political opponents; for, no
fair minded hearer could help hut he
convinced that the American people, as
a whole, need to have their moral and
political consciences quickened by just
such truths ns he so aptly npplied in
presenting his subject.
THIS JOURNAL’S only regret is that
the audience was not larger, and yet
the turnout was fair, considering the
fact that the lecture was given during
the day in a town where about every
body has work to do. l’erhnps there
would have been a larger attendance
had the local ISlks led in the entertain
inent of the distinguished lecturer as a
member of their order. Hut, then, no
one should question the privilege Mount
Pleasant Democrats had to do honor to
the man who has twice been their presi
dential standard bearer.
cut Legislature if he had believed that
his son Dick conld have been elected to
succeed him. But Durham and other
prominent Republican lenders won’t
stand for Dick. They would prefer that
the old senator serve out his term; but,,
if he refuses to do so, they demand that
they slinll have a voice in selecting his
successor.
Mr. Quay, however, will not ngroe to
this. He believes he is personally aide
to pass upon the qualifications of his
own successor, and resents the interest
shown by Durham and Penrose. Gov-ernor
Pennypacker, so the Foeht story
goes, sympathizes with Quay in this
matter and will, at the proper time,
lend his appointing power and thus
supply all needed aid.
The tale sounds plausible and might
prove to he true, hut so many designing
politicians in tills state have fixed up
resignations, to say nothing of execu-tions,
for Senator Quay’s exclusive hen
ellt, only to see him continue in busi-ness
at the old stand, that we have our
doubts regarding the "Old Mnn's” in
tention of retiring and rather expect to
soo him pass away in his political har
ness.
SOME idea of Colonel Bryan’s drawing
power ns nn orator can he had from tlie
fact that the receipts of the house at
Uniontown Tuesday night were $1,250.
THE Sains libel hill, which is now
pending in the Legislature, is a bold nt,
tempt to muzzle the press of the state
and we hope to see the votes of all the
Westmoreland members cast against it.
ALUMNUS CURT'S DUTY.
The Franklin and Marshall College
Glee and Mandolin Club will pay Mount
Pleasant a visit and give an entertain
ment in the Grand Opera House Friday
evening of next week, April 17th, and,
as one of its members, Mr. Carl Graui,
is from here, local pride should, as it
doubtless will, see to it that the hoys are
given the town’s glad hand.
Of course, the number of friends of
young Mr. Graui, coupled with the ex
cellent reputation the dub enjoys, is a
guarantee that the attendance at the
performance will he all right; but, nev
ertheless, there are fitting reception
preparations to make and THE JOUR
NAL expects Alumnus Nevin A, Cort to
get very busy during the coming week
He is not only an old F. and M. man
himself but he was a member of the first
glee club that institution bad. Bhould
there be any dereliction in the perform-ance
of his plain duty now, we shall in
sist that he be called upon for a vocal
solo as an interspersion on the evening’s
program.
Since the above was in type we have
learned that Clarence Zimmerman
another local alumniiB of this college,
was also a member of the glee club when
he went there to school, What would
be more fitting than that these two old
glee men sing us a duet’/ THE JOURNAL
is good for at least one bouquet.
"UNCLE HENRY" POOLS US.
H. W. Stoner, president of the First
National Bank, is still Bniiiing over the
little April Fool joke he played on us
and the simplicity of the trick compels
us to acknowledge that, in up-to date
street parlance, we are "dead easy.”
The veteran banker takes fourteen
copies of THE JOURNAL for himself and
a baker’e dozen of his relatives and
friends who are well scattered over this
country. He began doing so over twenty
years ago, just to let them see a model
weekly papei, and the readers took so
kindly to the idea that he couldn’t stop,
a fact that has been full of both pleasure
ud profit to us ever since. But for the
ffe.
He dropped in on April first and HB he
has always made it a rule to pay quar-terly
in advance, we took it for granted
be had the cash and wanted to settle.
So we got the list ont and were ready to
give due credit, but the vision of more
wealth vanished for the time being as
he cooly arose and, remarking about the
nice weather we were having, passed
out of the ofHce, leaving us feeling any-thing
but large and beautiful. We tried
our best to deny having been canght
when he returned and squared accounts
on Friday, but, "Uncle Henry” had us
down too fine and we had to ’fees up.
QUAY'S RESIGNATION?
State Senator B. K. Focht is authority

Senate and be succeeded by his son,

Senator Quay, it is claimed, would
bare done so during the life of the pres -

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, FRIDAT, APRIL, 10. 10OJI.
DENISON
UNIVERSITY.
An Ohio Institution of Learning of Which
Western Pennsylvania People Do Not
Seem to be Well Acquainted.
WHIT II MOUNT PLMT STUDENT SITS,
DENISON UNIVERSITY, '
GRANVILLE, OHIO.
April 4. 1008.
EDITOR JOURNAL:—l)eur Sir: My
brother and I have been wondering since
onr visit nt home and at Monnt Pleasant
last summer, why people in Western
Pennsylvania seem to know so little
about Denison. We cannot think of any
reason except the mere arbitrary state
line why it should not be better known
than almost any college in Pennsylva-nia.
We thought, perhaps, your paper
would accept a short article now and
then or items of news, such as Rocke-feller’s
latest offer and the base ball
games of this spring, and wondered
whether the article enclosed, which
Augustine S. Carmen has kindly allow
ed us to use, would be a suitable intro-duction.
Sincerely,
JANE BELL SIMPSON.
The oldest Baptist college in the west
opened its doors in December, 1831. at
Granville. Denison is interesting not
merely for its own sake, but as a type of
the denominational college at its best
Located near the geographical center of
Ohio, it nestles among and partly sur
mounts hills affording a far-ranging
view of embowered homes and broad
fields with ribbon-like roadsand a wind-ing
stream, forming, as Bayard Taylor
declared, after a visit to Granville, one
of the most beautiful vistas in any land.
It is a village and not a city, a genuine
New England village in the middle
west; in fact, a colony transplanted
bodily nearly a century ago from Gran
ville, Mass. It is a village without sa-loons
or paupers and with inexpensive
living, yet with steam and electric rail-ways,
electric light, natural gas, water-works
and admirable social and relig-ious
privileges. In a word, Granville
enjoys the advantages of a city with the
immunities of a village.
Its Baptist church occupies a spacious
and beautiful edifico of stone, and enjoys
the ministry of Rev. C. J. Baldwin. D.
D., one of the choicest men in the Amer
ican Baptist pulpit. The Sunday servi
ces from no small part of the educative
influence of Granville. Denison repre-sents
the belief that while a professional
school may need a city for its “clinical”
advantage, a college, whose end is gen-eral
culture and mental discipline,needs,
instead of the bustle and distractions
of a city, the quiet and inspiration of
a smaller community, where nature has
the chair of hygiene and aesthetics, and
where education has the right of way in
all of the community life. It is not so
much a question of freedom from temp-tation
as one of freedom from distrac-tions,
mental and moral.
Denison University includes Granville
College, Sbepardson College. Doane
Academy, the Conservatory of Music,
the School of Art and the School of Mil
itary Science. It has a beautiful and
extensive campus, fourteen buildings,
libraries, laboratories with twenty-five
thousand dollars’ worth of scientific ap
paratus, and more than a milliou of
dollars in property and endowments,
which, in a village and for purposes
mainly collegiate, constitute a generous
equipment. Its scietific equipment is
quite imperial for a denominational col-lege.
It has a faculty of thirty four and
nearly live hundred students from some
seventeen states and territories and two
foreigu countries. Although laying
chief stress on its strictly collegiate
work, Denison has genuine university
characteristics in its provisions for orig
inal research and in its scientific publi-cations.
“The Journal of Comparative
Neurology” and “The Bulletin of the
Scientific Laboratories.” A variety of
courses is offered, with the opportunity
of broadening or specializing these in
the last two years by electives. Young
women have the advantage in the col-lege
courses of the same instruction and
may obtain the same degree as the
young men, yet have all the advantage
of beautiful separate grounds and build-ings
with a woman teacher resident in
adjunct to these. It means much in
these days to have a faculty abreast
with modern thought, yet with faith
unsapped by rationalism; active in
church, Sunday school and prayer meet-ings;
each of them officiating on occa-sion
in the college chapel or at other re
ligious services; and many of them skil-ful
in helping a student to decision for
Christ.
Above all, it is a rare and admirable
thing to have a college president who is
an athlete, able to participate with the
boys in their sports, with a splendid
spirit of comradeship which is felt by
every student, yet with a directness of
spiritual grip such as makes eaehcbapel
service and even the class room exer-cises
a moral tonic; and to have the stu-dont
who hates everything goody goody
a little worse than he hntes the devil,
like it. That is President Emory W.
Hnnt.
The college Y. M. C. A. includes most
of the best young men in college, with
many of the athletes and most popular
fellows, and does an admirable work in
getting new students started aright. It
has a four-year course of Bible study
with rigid examinations and a diploma
at the close. Denieon was the first col-lege
in the land to do this.
Such alumni as Dr. William Acbmore,
of China, Professor William Arnold
Stevenp, of Rochester, ex Attorney-Gen-eral
Judson Harmon, and a multitude
of others, are Denison’s best credentials
Denison represents, then, the survival
and adaptation to the times of the de-nominational
college. Its character
and achievement are among the indica-tions
that this educational type, as dis-tinguished
from the state institution or
the graduate and professional universi-ty,
is happily destined to abide in
America, wherever such noble support
era stand back of it are indicated by the
names of trustees like Colly, Thresher,
Barney, Canby, Doane, Peters, Lewis;
and when there stands at front of it
such men as its recent presidents, E.
Benjamin Andrews, Galusha Anderson,
D. B. Purinton and Emory W. Hunt.

Ohio has some fifty colleges, more
than any other state. She can appreci-ate
the feelings of the small boy who
had pnrtaken so freely of buckwheat
cakes that when asked if he would have
more, he replied with decision; “No; I
don’t want no more and they’s some I’ve
got I don’t want!” It has required a
somewhat strenuous exercise of con-science
for Denison to hold to her high
standard, when certain institutions in
the competition for students have been
content with requirements less vigorous.

"Chn this have been true, Mrs. Wy-ley?”
inquired Horace.
"I am not prepared to say no,” re-plied
Mrs. Wyley.
"Though I have feared to speak to M.
Constant about it,” Leon resumed. "I
have always believed I am not n slave
and have hoped that something would
occur to put me in my freedom. But
my hope has been today destroyed.
All that cheered me has been denied.
Please, Mr. Horace and mndarne, do
not laugh at me and think me foolish
for what I am going :J tell you now.
1 am In love”—he hung Ills head like a
guilty child—“and my love has made
me strong, obedient and patient. I
love Odette, the maid of Mile. Estelle
Latlolais, and she has said she would
be my wife. She is a good, faithful,
true girl. To me she Is lovelier than
tile yellow jasmine, and the thought of
her has kept me honest and cheerful
nnd lias made me kinder to my horses.
Her mistress loves her and more than
a year ago promised to set her free
when 1 should be ready to marry her.
But last night she met me weepidg
and broken hearted, for mademoiselle
had informed her that she could not
give her freedom, because the law had
changed in spite of Mr. Horace’s noble
opposition so as to forbid the emanci-pation
of slaves. 1 could not console
her. It seemed as if this news took
fill my life away. Not a moment have
I slept since. All the night long 1
walked up nnd down in the stables
save when I rested my bend on one of
the horses nnd cried like a woman.
But with the daybreak came a hope. I
remembered that if I myself was not a
Have I could buy Odette and make her
fsee by taking her to a free state, and
1 determined to ask M. Constant to
lend me the price of my bride, to be paid
him in services in the stable and on
the track ns long as would be reasona-ble.
Knowing how set he was on beat-ing
Judge Elgee’s mare today nnd that
he had bet heavy sums on the race, 1
made up my mind to win it for him
even at the risk of my neck, so ns to
have his favor when I should ask him
for the loan, which 1 would do before
sundown if my mare kept her foot,
lie would not refuse then. 1 felt sure.
Again I cried, but from joy. nnd I
danced with happiness, and 1 whistled
like a mocking bird as 1 patted and
rubbed Charlotte Corday nnd prayed
to her to carry me out of my trouble.
Belle Cheney has better points than
Charlotte, and 1 trembled ns I saw her
leap to the stand. But when the word
was given I leaned down and shouted.
Oueuer in my mare's car. At me e..u
of the track l saw not the post, but
only Odette’s sweet face. In the
crowd's roar and yell In the last stretch
I heard only the name Odette, and
when I shot under the line I saw
Odette standing- with her mistress on
the veranda of Father Grhe’s house,
waving her hand to me. After caring
for the mare nnd kissing her forehead
I went to Mile. Latiolais nnd asked her
If she would sell Odette to me and at
what price. She said she would for
$100 and, laying her snow white hand
on Odette’s shoulder, added that she
would give the price and something
more to the bride as a dot on her wed-ding
day. Odette kissed that little
hand and, with a smile of happiness,
expressed our thankfulness. Mine was
then the lightest heart that ever bent
In a poor man’s breast, and 1 made my
request to M. Constant on ills return
home. But, Mr. Oakfell, a. knife run
through my body could not have given
the pain his answer did. His eyes al-most
closed and his face trembled
with anger ns he said: 'You scoundrel!
Why should you buy a wife? If you
did, she would be my slave. Whatever
you acquire will be mine.’ ‘How so, M.
Constant?’ I asked. ‘I am a free man.’
Like a mad dog he leaped at me, clutch-ed
me by the throat and screamed: ‘You
lie! You are my slave! If you ever
dare again to deny 11, I will lay the
lash on you till you will wish you were
dead!’ And he flung me away from him
with the vilest curses. Crushed and all
but blind, I staggered to the stable and
hid my face in Charlotte Corday’s
mane until my thoughts came back to
me. Then, not knowing or caring
whether I was seen, I went to Mile.
Latlolais and informed her what had
occurred. She said to me: ‘Go at once
to Mr. Horace Oakfell, the only real
man of this country. Tell him I ask
him to hear you and thwart the evil
purpose of that wicked Qulllebert. Mr:
Oakfell has the true eye to see what is
just and the brave heart to do it.’ As I
was leaving the yard I met M. Leoni-das
Latiolais and asked him whether
he would not buy me If 1 was M. Con-stant’s
slave, and be said he would
think it over. I came directly here. I
have told nothing but the truth. For
the sake of justice, for the sake of Je-sus,
who, the priest says, was friend-less
as I am: for the sake of Mile. La-tlolais,
advise and protect me, Mr. Onk-fell,
and you, Mrs. Wyley, who were
nlways kind to me and never had cause
to chide me.”
The poor fellow In bis excitement had
unconsciously risen at the close of his
narrative and assumed an attitude of
supplication eloquent in its naturalness
and earnestness, and bis two auditors
looked from him to each other with
expressions of astonishment and
wounded consciences.
"A dreadful recital, If true,” Oakfell
said.
"Even the mercy of heaven must be
stretched to cover such wickedness,”
was Mrs. Wyley’s comment.
"Do you feel Inclined to give me your
recollection of this matter, Mrs. Wy-ley?”
asked Oakfell.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, “not only In-clined,
but eager to do so. When Leon
was but an Infant, Feblen Queyrouze
owned the plantation adjoining Lal-lande's,
of which my husband was the
overseer. It was In those days that 1
first saw Qulllebert, who visited Quey-rouze
on Sundays. It seems they had
known each other In France. By the
request of Queyrouze, Qulllebert stood
! ns godfather at tlie child’s christening
at Mansura by Father Grlie, who had
but recently arrived In this country.
Queyrouze was very fond of this child,
but was greatly displeased for some
cause with tlie mother, Olive, who,
with her children, was his slave. The
year the cholera was so bad—1 think it
was in 1833—on returning home from
a visit to New Orleans he told his over-seer,
Belisaire Poydre, that lie Intended
Leon to be free and directed that he be
! sent to me to be raised. The following
day he died of the cholera. He had be-friended
niy husband In a serious trou-ble,
so that when, two days nfter Ills
death, a nurse came to us with the
j child and a message from Poydre con-veying
the wish of Queyrouze we con-sented,
and 1 took charge of the little
one. Of course he was favored by us
and never caused me to regret our ac-tion.
As child and boy he was good na-tured,
respectful and obedient.
"Queyrouze was a bachelor, and bis
heirs lived In France. His will in-structed
Poydre to wind up Ids af-fairs,
sell ids property nnd deliver the
proceeds to the heirs. This lie did four
years later. Qulllebert bought Olive
and her three other children. Leon
was not included in the sale, but re-mained
with me. Belisaire Poydre died
of yellow fever in 1840. My poor bus-band
was carried off by the same dis-ease
in 1843. About six months after
my husband’s death 1 received a re-quest
from Qulllebert to send Leon to
visit liis mother and receive some pres-
» ns from’his godfather, and, suspect-ing
no trick, 1 did so. Leon did not
come back. I wrote Qulllebert a note
asking why lie detained him. He re-turned
the verbal answer tin t the boy
preferred to remain with his mother.
This I did not believe, but I felt myself
helpless and took no further steps in
the matter. This is all I know of it.
I do uot pretend to understand the law,
lint 1 have always thought Leon was
free.”
At these last words Leon’s face
brightened, and he looked eagerly and
auxlotisly to Oakfell.
"And my thought agrees with yours,”
said the latter.
“Oh. thank the good God!” exclnlm-ed
Leon, falling on his knees. “And
you will secure nnd protect me In my
freedom, Mr. Horace? You are white,
you are rich, you are wise, you ore
powerful. Defend me from this man
who enslaves me against law and jus-tice.”
"I will, poor fellow, to the utmost of
my power,” Oakfell promised. “And
it l succeed In establishing your free-dom
I will lend you the money to buy
Odette.”
Leon wrung Ills hands In a paroxysm
of joy, but could not speak his grati-tude.
Mrs. Wyley, however, was mov-ed
to say, “God will be on your side in
the fight, Mr. Oakfell.”
"I can only prevail by the humanity
and justice of our laws,” said Oak-fell.
“Listen to me, Leon. I must
proceed in this undertaking with de-liberation.
My course will arouse bit-ter
opposition and bad feeling, which
should not be provoked prematurely.
Meanwhile you must be absolutely un-der
my direction nnd pledge Implicit
obedience to my Instruction, though it
may "involve suffering. It is proper
that at the Institution of your suit for
freedom you should be under the ap-i
parent control of Qulllebert. You must
uot be a fugitive when you sue for
freedom. Therefore you must return
to his plantation, though he may put
the lash to you for being away tonight.
Do not disclose that you have spoken
to Mrs. Wyley or myself, though he
should torture you to extort the con-fession,
for If he learns that you have
conferred with us I do uot doubt he
will kill you. Can you keep your
counsel and ours and endure his cruel-ty
until 1 send for you and give you
further Instructions?”
“Mr. Oakfell, I will take the lash
and any pains he can put me to if 1
can gain my freedom and Odette, and
neither whip nor fire can force from
me one word about this meeting.”
“Go, then,” said Oakfell, “and be
firm.”
"God help me to be firm and to be
grateful for your goodness and that of
Mrs. Wyley,” Leon replied and with-drew.
"What Is all this, brother?” said Ev-ariste,
smiling nnd entering the office
with noiseless step. "Are you holding
abolitionist meetings and receiving
messages by the grapevine line? Be-ware,
for there is danger in that.”
Oakfell explained fully the evening’s
incident, requesting Evariste’s secrecv.

Another Interesting Letter From Mr. I). S.
Metzgar, From Port Byron, Illinois, a
F ormer Mount Pleasant Resident.
HE IS STILL II ROCK-RIBBED DEMOCRAT,
|HY D. S. MKTZOAR.]
Port Byron, 111., April2,1903. When
I first went to Mount Pleasant in 1832 I
was taken sick of intermittent fever and
I had a hard time of it. Dr. Torrence
attended me and from that time until
1881 I never had to spend a day in bed.
Then I'suffered for two weeks with an
attack of erysipelas, but from that time
there has not been a single day when I
could not attend to business.
It was in 1832 that I saw the heavens
full of meteors and as a result we had a
cholera scare. Tom Fee did die of that
disease, bnt there was no other
deaths.
Iu 1888 J cast my first vote, having al
lied myself with the wicjted Democrats
I thonght they were the friends of the
poor. Through victory and defeat I
have remained in the unterrified ranks,
and I see no cause for changing my
politics today.
The presidential campaign of 184b
was a memora tile one. Everything was
paraded on wheels—haystacks loaded
witli weaver's looms, blacksmith shops
with bellows, anvils nnd the smith
welding the red hot iron, spinning
wheels, log cabins, ’coons, men wearing
'coon skin caps and a howling crowd
following. I s ill have a razor with
‘‘Hurrah! for Harrison’’ on its keen edge.
I also recall that when James K Polk
was a candidate for the Presidency
Abraham Overholt would not allow
George Bnttermore, one of his drivers,
to put pokebi rry bushes on the horses to
keep the flics off.
Along from ’40 to '30, after I had gone
to housekeeping, there was great rivalry
between the people of town to see who
could raise the largest hogs for fail
butchering. Then there was apple but-ter
making that generally lasted from
before daylight until midnight. There
was no hog law then and some people
let their hogs run at large. I remember
one morning as I was passing Squire
Fleming's home he came ont for a walk.
A small drove of hogs was grazing along
the grassy street and as he noticed them
he said to me ‘‘David, I can’t get the
sweet breath of heaven for the smell of
those infernal pigs.”
This was strong Scotch, bnt the
speaker was a good Presbyterian and
excusable, having been compelled to sit
all night in a chair on account of
asthma. For, it was hard for him to
find God's pure air so contaminated. He
was the only man who, when he bade
me goodby, said: "God bless you, Da-vid.
Yon will make a good citizen
wherever you go.”
We had no railroads then and it was
in the stage conch with a nobby driver
wielding the lash and a boot behind for
the baggage that we went over the
mountains. Henry Clay came through
once and stopped at the Clark hotel for
dinner. A inrge crowd gathered to see
him, but he made no speech. However,
we got to see a great man.
There was much teaming done with
large covered wagons drawn by six and
eight horses, hauling tvhiskey and flonr
to Baltimore and bringing back immi
grants, of whom many were Germans
They were a happy lot, singing songs ot
their native land. I recall two lines of
one of their songs:
Qnmpt b.e vogle voting,Ml
Silz.a neotu tnlfue fnos.
I remember during a tompernnee agi-tation
that John Anderson, a moulder,
picking up a drunken man on the street
and placing him on a wheelbarrow. He
wheeled the sleeping victim of strong
drink to Clark's hotel where be dumped
him off without distmbing the boozy
individual’s heavy slumber.

Mrs. James Hodman, of No. 11* South Dia-mond

had more or less pain In my head. My hus-band

departed, as well as the pain, and I
felt generally Invigorated.”

its easy and pleasant glid-ing
motion and it is this

swing. The seats are adjustable to restful, reclining
positions, and by a simple arrangement the whole settee can
be converted into a lounge or bed, which, with a few cush-ions,
makes a very inviting lounging place to enjoy the
summer breeze. A Most Desirable Porch

are well made from choice seasoned lumber, finished to
withstand exposure to the weather and the price is exceed-ingly
low,
