ed as private in the Mexican war and
was commissioned first lieutenant for
conspicuous service in June, ls40. Re-
turning to Indiana at the close of the
war with Mexico he began the practice
of the law, and as a democrat was elect
ed delegate TO the constitutional con-
vention of the state in 1850 In 1851 he
was elected JUDGE OF the circuit court of
the third judicial circuit, and at the ex-
piration of his term in 1854 was APP
pointed one of the judges of the state
supreme court TO I'll IL vacancy. The
same year his party nominated him for
the regular term, but he was defeated
by Hon. Samuel Gool1ins, republican
and know nothing candidate. The year
following, 1855, he served as president
of the democratic state convention,
and in 1856 President Franklin
Pierce appointed him United States
district attorney for the state of
Indiana, from which Office he was re-
moved in 1858 by President James Bu-
chanan because of his active support
of Stephen A. Douglas for the presiden-
tial nomination. Daniel w Voorhees,,
now United States senator, was ap-
pointed his successor. Gov. Hovey was
defeated for congress In 1858 by Hon.
w Il. NiblacS. He was among the
first to tender his services to the cause
of the union at the opening Of hostil-
tiles between the north and the south
in 1861 In August 1861, he was com
missioned colonel Of the Twenty-fourth
regiment, Indiana volunteers, and in
April, 1862, was promoted to the rank
of brigadier general of volunteers. He
served under Gems Fremont and Hun
ter in Missouri during 1861 and was
with Gen. Grant at Shiloh and Vicks-
burg, and with Gen. Sherman in his
famous march TO the sea. AS n brigade
and division commander he participated
In the battles of Corinth, Shiloh, Port
Gibson, Reseca, Dalton, Champions
Hill, and the siege of Viclxsburg and
Jackson. In July, 1864, he was com
missioncd brevet major general OF vol
untecrs, ''for meritorious and distin-
guished services during the war" He
was appointed United States minister
TO the republic OF Peru in 1865, which
Office he filed with conspicuous merit
until 1870, when he resigned and re-
turned TO Indiana. In 1887 he was
elected as a republican TO the Fiftieth
congress from the First congressional
district, defeating James +. McCul-
Tough, democrat. While serving his
term as congressman he was nominated
for governor by the republicans in 1888
and was elected, defeating Matson,
democrat, b. 2,200 plurality.

James.
He did not add, however, that he had
left the door unlocked purposely and
was not surprised by what had subse-
quently occurred.
Rudolph Boulonger shuddered, not
knowing that he had been firing blank
cartridges that had thoughtfully been
provided for his use, and was glad that
he had not killed an innocent man. He
felt that he had greatly wronged John
Hendrickson; he observed with alarm
the highly-wrought feelings of his
daughter; his nerves were too much
shaken for him to deny that the twin
houses which his eccentricity had
caused him to erect and furnish alike
were responsible for the unwelcome oc-
currence, and he was glad to make
peace by giving the intruder permission
to marry Edith.
The next day the family sat down to
a splendid Christmas dinner in their
home, and John Hendrickson, the un-
expected guest, was entertained by
them in a very pleasant manner.
''It is fitting occasion for a reconcil-
iation, said Rudolph Boulonger, whose
recent experience had made him un-
usually regardful of religion. II for
one am glad to feel the influences of a

"GoING AT FrvEp"

organization | found was the Ladies
Sewing. Reaping, Gossiping and Send
ing Socks to the Heathen society.
Which Heathen society they sent them
to | never learned.
Quite a good many people listened to
my remarks, without more signs of pain
than have noticed everywhere. AS one
of the committecwomen remarked.
facetiously, afterward, 'there was
more in the audience than there was in
the lecture"
noticed that no one seemed to be
putting on overshoes, while ! was slow
ly running down, or letting the cat die,
as you might say, and after | had got
off my final bon mot and didn't have n
single bong mo- to get off, | sat down,
but everybody stayed. Then the presi-
dent of the society came to me and
said: ''Mr. Hood, our society has
been making Il autograph quilt. Ten
cents to put your name on n block, you
know. It's got over 400 blocks into it,
and we've raised pretty near $50 for
the heather now We thought, while
everybody was here and it was so near
Christmas, we'd have you auction the
quilt off"
So got up and held up the quilt and
stepped on the edge of it and fell down,
and verybody applauded and seemed
to think it was a real clever thing TO
do. Mr. Hood then spoke in substance
as follows:
"How much am | offered for this
quilt? 1t is n wcll-made quilt and Is
strictly nou-partisan. The names, you
will notice, are in blocks Of five; 1t is
designed for protection; it won't tariff
you're careful of it, will keep Silver
Bill or any other man warm, and how
much am offered for it?''
Then every body laughed quite n lot
and nobody bid ! thought that they
were afraid to speak up, SO | said:
"Well, now, I'll just start it at five dol
lars. Who'll make it six? Going at
five-at five. Give me the half. Five |
have; six will you give me? Going at
five-fve-f- fl f-fi-f-fi-do | hear the
six? Five I'm bid; are you all done?
Going at five, fi-f-f-f-fi-f-f-f-fve. Give
me a quarter somebody. Five ] have;
do hear the quarter? Five ] have
going at five. Must knock it down for
such paltry sum? Five have; make
IL five dollars and ten cents. Five |
have. Are you all done? Going, once
going, twice-going, twice-going,
three times Won't some one please
bid?-and sold to a poor, misguided fool
of funny-lecture man for five dollars" :"
And then the society all crowded
around me and thanked me, ana said
that ! was such a clever auctioneer,
and if hadn't been there to run the
auction they wouldn't have got half so
much. So they deducted fiver from
my fee, said they didn't understand
about the locals" SO I'd have to pay
my own hotel bill, and then they left
me alone with my quilt.
tried to give it to the landlord, but
he said: 'Oh, hades, wouldn't have
the damb thing around the house!"
So bright idea struck me, and
sent II home to my wife for a Christ
mas present. She keeps it up on tho
spare bed, and notice that folks that
come to see us nowadays, expecting to
stay several months, always begin to
weaken along about the third night,
and we never had n guest yet who
could stand that quilt with four hun
dred names on IL for more than a week
without going stark mad.

keeping always in the neighborhood of
penury as have.
Awhile ago my father took it into his
head that there was money in rais-
ing hogs, so he paid $40 for some squeal-
ers, FED them 500 worth of corn and
sold s7s.60 worth of pork. A drift
ing toward sort of pig penury, he
says.
One Christmas followeth so closely
upon the heels of another that the space
of time, after it is past, is but as a tale
that is told or Waterbury watch in
the night. A Christmas past delighteth
us not, but a Christmas present is a Joy
TO our soul And it is the Christmas
present. Heaven strengthen us, that we
all have to deal with.
For my part never know what TO

faithfully for years and used the best
Judgment, but their ventures failed.
Fate was their relentless enemy. Bou-
longer would do something which in
the eyes of the wise stamped him as
fool, and yet his seemingly brainless
act would bring him a small fortune.
His boyhood was one of ease, his
father being in good circumstances and
requiring nothing more of his son than
that he should go to school and college
and learn from books all that he could.
Rudolph had splendid memory, and
absorbed printed knowledge as readily
as sponge sucks up water. He gave
no attention to anything except books
until the death of his father compelled
him to think how he should live and
pay his bills. The fortune left him was
modest, and his friends, knowing what
a lamentably impractical person he
was, advised him to put his money in
savings bank, not to marry, and to live
economically. He rejected their adj
vice with scorn. He wished to travel
abroad and enjoy luxuries. He in
vested nearly all of his fortune in gold
mine His friends were horror-strick-
en-. They said his money would surely
be lost in the wildcat scheme, and that,
as he was utterly incapable of making
a living, he would be obliged to go to
the poorhouse, and eventually, perhaps,
to the retreat for imbeciles. But to the
surprise of the foreboders the mine
soon proved to be one of the richest on
this con tinent and in few years Ru
dolph possessed half million dollars.
Henceforth his career was marked by
succession Of lucky blunders. He would
buy real estate in wilderness where
only the remains of Indian tribes could
be persuaded to dwell, and in years
time railroad would be run through
his land and he would sell building lots
at handsome profit for the establish
ment of village. He did other things
equally absurd. but made money every
time.
In spite of his many eccentricities he
secured for a wife beautiful and ac-
complished girl. How she ever allowed
herself to marry him was a marvel to
those who knew them. But they APP
peared to live happily together. Their
children, twins named James and Edith,
were sensible like their mother.
The family resided in a. fine country
mansion about mile from the out
skirts of Boston. Their nearest neigh
Dor was a well-to-do farmer whose son,
John Hendrickson, sturdy and prac-
tical young man, fell in love with
Edith Boulonger when she was eighteen
years old. But Mr.. Boulonger wished
his daughter to marry college-bred
man who was the descendant of an old
and cultured family. Another require

day that has brought peace on earth
and goodwill to men,"
The others acquiesced in the worthy
sentiment
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hendrickson and
Mrs. and Mrs. James Boulonger now re-
side in the twin houses, and every
Christmas the two families and Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudolph Boulonger dine together
in one of the peculiar dwellings.
II is said that on one of the happy oc-
casions Rudolph Boulonger was gently
told Of the ruse by which he had been
deceived, Edith and her husband ex-
cusing themselves by saying that there
had been love and war and that all
tactics were fair in both. 1t is further
reported that the old gentleman for
gave the couple, having in the mean
time learned from the owner of the
Jersew cow that that animal had given
a good mess of milk eight hours after
she had left the Boulonger farm.
