we thought that brief biography OF
Pete's valuable services would 90 a.

other men Of genius, has his peculiar
tiles. They are not like the peculiar
tiles Of any other man alive--they are
part and parcel Of himself; and many
thrilling incident might be narrated
illustrative Of them. Pete's range Of
friends and acquaintance is as great
as the great range Of the great Gre
alton. No one out Of the millions
who have travelled on the "bosom OF
the mighty Mississippi" have ever
locked on that beautiful piece Of trus-
sci work-the wharf, OF this city with
on - lin. He i' part and par
eel of it, always there, and If he We're
to Withdraw, it would be like taking
out the main beams'-the whole
srperstructure would sink forever
Pete knows everybody and is every
bodies friend, in the legion we place
ourselves foremost.
