sort of monument for somebody or some
thing. Some OF these memorial churches are
so arranged that each OF their windows is

interesting OF these Is the Garfield Memorial

Wisconsin official. talking to your cores
fege at Appleton, in my State, preparing for
the ministry, and afterward became pro-
fessor in that institution. He was different
ent from most OF his associates,
fond OF athletic sports, such as
rowing. base ball playing, and anything and
everything of this character: His fondness
for athletic sports induced him to take box
ing lessons, and this accomplishment, | re-
member, stood him in a very good purpose
on one occasion, at least. He and some more
