TWO STORIES or "oLo HICKORY.
Two Men Who Had Earned the Right to
DO as They Pleased.

In certain popular restaurant in
this city there hangs picture of
Andrew Jackson Old Hickory"-in
his old age. when he had become the
sage of The Hermitage. 1t is interest
ing because it differs somewhat from
the accepted representations of him,
and is evidently and undoubtedly
authentic. Jackson has always been a
popular hero because he was so human
ia 'nnman volcano" one writer calls
him. When he became president old
Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer, was
postmaster ut Albany, n. Y, under an
original appointment from President
Monroe.
Van Rensselaer, was one OF the
heroes of the war of 1872 on the north
ern frontier. In politics. however, he
sided with the Federaists. or rs they
had come To- he known, the National
Republicans" He was great friend
and admirer of Gen. William Henry
Harrison, aud always claimed that he
was the real hero Of the war OF 1912,
frontier. When Jackson became pres
ident an effort was made to have Van
Rensselaer, retired from the postoffice.
Two different delegations with the
same object in view left Albany in tho
same month. Tncy came to this city
and told 'O,d Hickory how Solomon
Van Rensselaer, would load his clay
pipe, and then. sitting out on the pub.

bauy, the capital Of New York state.
would puff tobacco smoke and de-
nOunce Jackson and all the works Of
his administration. When odd Hick-
ory' heard all this he took from his
mouth his own clay pipe, and said:
Gentlemen, Solomon Van Rens-
selaer was the first man in New York
in 1912 to raise men 10 fight the enemy.
and Ee led his own men. Now. by the
eternal, he has gained the right to
abuse me If he wants To-. and he can do
so ~ much as he Id plcascS."
Van Rensselaer, held his Office until
finally removed by Van Barren. He
was reinstatcd by President William
Henry Harrison. though disappointed
in not being called To the cabinet as
secretary of war.
Gen. Jack ~ on another occasion.
when complaint was made that Maj.
George Croghan. whose defense of the
fort ut Lower Sandusky against force
Of 1000 British regulars aud Indians
was one OF the most memorable ex-
ploits of the war of 1912 aud made the
whole country ring with his fame, had
fallen into dissipatetl habits aud should
be dismissed from the army, replied:

of British spheres of influence" in

only little less than 1000, 900 square

Artistic Advertising.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people de-
serve credit for the best grade of illustra-
tions now being used for advertising pur-
poses. The series of full-page drawings
which have been appearing on the last
page of the Century represent some of the
most capable book and magazine artists in
the country. The series must have cost
no small figure. As yet the way up artists
do not sign the work they do for adver-
tisers, but apprehend that it will not be
long ere we shall see in the advertising
columns such names as George Wharton
Edwards, T. W. Kemble. etc. Such men
as these bring 60 their work besides mere
mechanical skill, trained imagination
and an artistic conception of things. These
qualities. when used in connection with
advertisements, command scarcely less IT,
terest than when used in the ordinary lit
erary way.-Printer's Ink, August 10, 1891.

Freeport's Bank Robbed.

FREEpoRT. Pa, March 5.-The Peoples
Bank at this place was ente;ed by burglars
Wednesday night and about 500 in money,
S9S5 90 in postage stamps and bonds, notes
and papers valued at about S35, 200, were
taken. The burglars were experts. There
is no clue to their inden.ty.
The bank is q State institution and is con-
sidered substantial
The burglars entered the bank through a
rear window by prying open the wooden
shutters There was no light in the bank.
The huge iron doors Of the vault were drill
ed through to the combination, evidencing
skill and familiarity with safe locks. An
effort was made to drill 10 the combination
OF the safe. but the steel plate in the door
bafiisd the burglars. There was about 81
900 in money in the safe. IN the vault out
side the safe are pigeon holes and boxes in
which outside parties kept their valnabies.
The bank did not charge such depositOrs
and is not therefore responsible for the loss.
A full length candle had been left in the
vault on Wednesday evening. When found
by Cashier Luckwick this morning it had
been burned to the socket. Il was not light
ed when found, which leads the bank OH
cials to believe the burglars were at work
from early in the evening until carly in the
morning. Henry Mccormick, who passed
