York. in connection with its comments
on those appointed to represent this cOun-
try abroad. publishes letter from Hon.
James o. Putnam, of Buffalo, who was a
classmate Ct Gen. Henry r. JacksOn's at
Yale. The letter of Mr.. Putnam was in
response to a request Of the editor OF the
Courier for information about Gen. Jack

Gen. jackson was held by his classmates,
and may, therefore, have considerable
local interest, we publish it in full:
To the Editor Of The Courier: To your
request that 1 should tell you what l
know OF Gen. Henry X. jackson, just ap-
pointed United States Minister to Mexico,
] would reply that he was of the Yale
class Of 1889. Of which DIR. Wharton, the
new solicitor of the State Department,
WIS also a member. In the winter OF 1910
wrote some sketches of certain class
mates, and of them was one Of MIR. jack
son. l have hardly seen it since until
to-day. l will give you a few extracts
from it, They will show you my early
impression Of his ability. You will readily
see it was written with the rhetorical
feryOr of my Is years ago:
Jackson was an unmistakable SOutheTEer.
He Is from one Of the first families in Georgia.
/ pronounce him the genius Of his class. He
was our strong est de5ater, logical and Ehilo-
sophieal: always enthusiastic aud frequently
very eloquent. His writings revealed The
man. Ills verse WIS but tOleTable. his stories
1 thought Indifferent, but as an animated es-
savist he was unrivaled. He was chosen
first speaker Of CalliOpe, editor OF the Yale
LiterGrv NGGGsipe, and to all the honorary So
cittIes He was a great gormandlzer or
books. Of remarkable memory, speculative
order Of mind, and politics OF the lOcOfOco
school. lie will IN less than twenty years be
a leader IN the Congress OF the United states.
His un,iring perseverance, his indomltable
ambition. his iron nerve and his tranecend-
ant genius will command it. l know he ls
destined 10 be one Of the great men OF the ma
ton.
So much for my prophecy. General and
judge Jackson, was appointed URlted
States Minister to Austria by President
Pierce. He was Chancellor of Georgia

her higher courts. and is a trustee of the
Peabody fund. He has had brilliant
career from his first entrance upon his

INN CONTRASTS,
The Difference Between an American and

The Difference Between an American and
English Hotel.
When you go into an American hotel,
you know, a boy takes your baggage
at the door, the clerk embraces you at
the counter, brushes whisk. and atten-
dants dance around you till it seems as
if the whole establishment had been
eagerly expecting you for week.
Now when you go into an English
hotel it is different.
You tug and twist and shoulder.
heave at the door awhile, until at last
you worry it open and drag yourself
and your baggage in by painful degrees
against the protest of an inhospitable
spring that has been cunningly con-
triVed somewhere to keep you out.
Then you set down your things in a
narrow, private sort of an entry, with
the feeling of burglar awaiting an ar
rest, and wipe off your forehead and
look over the ground. There are no
signs, no bells, no anything. You
stamp and cough and rattle around for
a while, and by-and-by the commoton
wakes up somebody in the rear of the
house, who opens the door and peers
through. This is your opportunity. II
you are affable, and persistent, and
plausible. and state your case with re-
spectful urgency, this person Casually
a female), after some preliminary ex-
animation, will disappear, and come
back in time with another and higher
tunctlonary (also female) who exam
ines you in the higher branches, and
may end, under favorable conditions,
with your admission.-cor. Detroit
