He was chosen state senator last Noyem Der
by a majority OF COO Few men in public
life have had a more interesting career.
He was born in New Berne n c., April
2, 1916. His father was born slave, but
purchased his freedom before marriage
and his mother was freeborn quadroon.
When Mr. Green was three years old
his father died, and his mother was left
with three small children to support by
her needle. Seven years later she moved
north, settling in Cleveland, where with
only eighteen months schooling John was
thrown on his own resources at the age Of
thirteen. He did chores Of all kinds. cur
ried horses. sawed wood. waited in reStau-
rants and worked as store porter until out
of his earnings he had saved enough to buy
a comfortable nome IN Il central part OF
the city, where his mother, now seventy
eight years of age, still lives
Then at the age of twenty-five he re-
solved to secure an education. By pub
fishing little book of essays he raised
enough money for clothes and books and
began working his way through the
Cleveland Central high school He was
graduated in less than three years at the
head of a class of twenty three. In 1870
he was admitted to the bar. From 1873 to
1882 he was justice of the peace and earned
the reputation of being one of the most able
In the city In 1881 he was elected to the
lower house of the legislature by 5000
majority, and was returned in 1889. His
record was so clean and able as representa-
tive that he was nominated for the higher
Office of senator last September by con-
vention, in which there were but nine col
ored delegates out of 600, and was elected
by the full vote of his party.
Mr.. Green enjoys a lucrative law prac-
tice. Less than 10 per cent. of his clients
belong to his own race. He keeps up his
studies, reads Cicero and Virgil in the
original with ease, and is one of the most
respected and best educated members of
the delegation from Cuyahoga county.

ingalls, was intended for the Congrega-
tional ministry, but owing to poor health
went into business instead. In 1927 he be-
came partner of Samuel Chase, in Haver-
hill, and in 1882 married his daughter
Lila. The Chases were originally from
New Hampshire. and belonged to a prom
inent family in New England annals.
John James Ingalls, was born in 1888 at
Middletown, Conn, where Mr.. Ingalls, es-
tablished himself as a merchant and man
ufacturer during that year. From 1888 to
1865 Mr.. Ingalls, engaged in the manufac-
ture Of shoes in various places in New
England, and in the course of his career
made many improvements in the machin-
cry used in that business. One of his in
ventions was a machine for cutting sole
leather, the first successful one ever con-
structed. He also perfected self regulat-
ing steam heating apparatus and a shoe
Furnishing machine He was a pioneer in
the manufacture of shoes by machinery,
and in 1859 owned an establishment that
produced 600 pairs Of shoes day.
There were nine children in this family,
seven of whom are now living. There are
sixteen grandchildren and three great
grandchildren. Ingalls,, ST., is tall, erect

His hair and beard are now snow white.
Politically the senator's father has been

he kept up with the literature Of his time,
belonged to a society of which Whittier
was member, and in many ways showed
that he had not cast his Greek poets to the
flames when he left Bradford academy to

Mr.. Ingalls, has always been active in
the Congregational church. The coming
senator was led TO meeting, as boy, by
this stanch New England father, and as an
earnest of the stuff that was in him often
went home and wrote out long sermons
from memory, almost word for word. From
that his parents concluded that he would
make mark in the world, and so he has.

DR.. Bulls Wonderful Operation.

Captain Rose, of the Tenth Hussars, of
which the Prince of Wales is colonel, had
an attack about two years ago of appen-
dicitis, or inflammation of the vermiform
appendix. The appendix is little pouch
at the upper end of the large intestine. 1t
is about six inches long and about the size
of lead pencil. 1t has no known func-
ton, though Darwin contends that it
proves that man is evolved from lower
brute. The Inflammation in this case was
probably due 10 the presence of grape pit
or some other foreign substance in the ap-
pendix. Captain Rose could rot find a
surgeon in Europe bold enough to operate
on him. If he left it alone it was likely to
end his life at any time.
Learning from the English surgeons of
DIR. William L. Bulls great skill in such
cases, he came to New York and went to
st. Luke's hospital, of which DR.. Bull is
the consulting surgeon. Captain Rose is
4 very large and stout man, and this cir
cumstance made the operation all the more
difficult. DR.. Bull hesitated for this rea-
son, but at last consented 20 make the op-
Grafton last November. The first incision
showed such unusual difficulties that Dr.
Bull was on the point of closing up the
wound and abandoning the attempt as
hopeless The abdominal wall was found
10 he four inches thick, and TO add to this
difficulty the veriform appendix was found
to be abnornally bent up behind the large
intestine After a moment of hesitation
the daring surgeon went on. The opera
ton lasted ~ hours and was complete
success. Captain Rose is now entirely re-
covered.

From fertile fields to the valley, where

And the fun was had in the ''sugaring off,

And the boys and girls in the glazing light
Would sit and sing or walk and spark"
Where the trees cast shadows long and dark.

Was not so sweet, and the fire that cleaned
Meath the iron pot had not such glow
AS the love their hearts had come to know.

mere blind usage. I; has physiological
basis. We sleep for the most part oa
the side, and without pillow the head
would be uncomfortably and harmfuliy
lower than the body. It will be 10.
membercd that Jacob vh"- s---..--s s-.--s srOm

needed something for the purpose, and
nothing better than stoue presented It

Africa al the present day. Some peoples
rest the neck instead OF the head on hard
pillows.
In Africa extraordinary headgesrs
make this practice necessary, and many
civilized woman has been compelled by
somewhat similar couture to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent pos
ture. A consideration of the physiologal
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should merely
bring the head to the natural level Some
pillows are much too thick. BY bend
ing the neck uuduly they interfere with
the outflow of the veuous blood from the
head. The pillow that just fills up the
SPACE above the shoulder best suits its
end.
Again, pillows Of feather, are objec-
tionablc. While they furnish the needed
support for the head, they are too heat
ing. as they have a remarkable capacity
for holding aud accumulating heat.
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat, goes to tho
head than to any other part OF the body.
Head-heating pillows are against the
wholesome maxim, "Keep the feet warm,
but the head cool" There is nothing
better than the hair pillow. Further,
the pillow il .or the head, not for the
shoulders. 10 rest the shoulders on the
pillow defeats the very end for which it
is used. New York Advertiser.
