A Life Full Of Big Events,

A remarkable character in this section is

will be ninety-three in January, says the
Decatur, ILL.,, Dispatch. He has never
taken dose Of medicine nor called q phy-
sician for treatment. He is we'll preserved
and the other day walked twsnty-six miles,
from Vandalia to Herrick. He located in
Madison county, ILL.,. in 1920 read law
under Abraham lincoln, and graduated
with Dick Yates. the war governor. He
has seen every president from John Adams
to Ben Harrison, served in the Blnckhawk
war under Lincoln and with jeff Davis,
helped to organize the republican party,
voted for Fillmore and went to the Phila-
delphia convention as delegate. He was
a personal friend of Lincoln, saw him
breath his last, and was accidentally at the
depot when Guitsau shot Garfield. He saw
the ashes of the barn where Boston Corbett
shot Booth. has seen 6fty~four men and
four women hanged, but 10 not in favor OF
capital puni.hment. He saw Lov.joy mur-
dored at Alton on Nov. 8, 1887, and he
himself came near having both legs shot
off for being a black abolitionist. He
carries bullet marks on his limbs and head,

comparatively, would be required to re-
main on duty on Sunday, and those chiefly

not be required to work seven days in the

About fifty Eskimos. big and little. will
soon arrive in Boston as an chronological con-
tribution from northeastern America to tho
Worlds Fair. When Lieut.. PEARy was asked
the other day why lie did not bring some of
the Arctic Highlanders OF the Smith Sound
region for exhibition. he Is reported to
have said that tho climatic conditions here
would have inflicted much suffering upon
them. and lie did not think it wise to take them
from their home II tho natives OF Baffin
Land could have had ten minutes foretaste OF
Chicago in the dog days. they would not easily
have been induced to face weeks Of the same
torrid conditions.
The few Eskimos who have visited this
country have never been enthusiastic over our
summer weather. The only Smith Sound na-
tive who has been seen in this city was the
wife Of Eskimo HANS, and. though she rather
enjoyed the attention she excited as an Arctic
curiosity. she declared that Greenland was
good enough for her. and she was glad to
return to its glaciers and blubber. Eskimo
JOE and his interesting family were not more
favorably impressed and nothing could induce
them to remain in land where the sun was SO
ardent It is we'll known that the Icelandic
coonists in Manitoba complain bitterly Of the
summer heat for long time after they reach
their new homes. The Chicago managers will

Tie Democratic party m this state shows

il Is working with substantial unity Tor tue
election Of tho Democratic ticket. because
the election Of that ticket means escape
from the grave dangers threatened by tine
Force bill. In no campaign has tho issue
between Democracy and Republicanism
been palmer or more direct. In none mas
there been greater cause to lay aside AM
mositics against persons or disputes about
collateral and non-essential matters. ana
work unselfshly for tho success OF tho
principles in which all Democrats believe.
Ono cheering result already noticeable is
the almost total disappearance VI the Mug
wumpocracy which for some years has at
tempted to dictate 10 the regular Democratic
organization. The regular Democracy. the
straight and rgidly partisan Democracy. is
in control. stronger and more confident
than ever: and the very men who have
been wont to abuse it now hold their peace
and look to it for guidance.
SO the Force bill, which was meant to per-
pctuate Republican power is stimulating
Democratic energy and promoting tho
spirit Of discipline and organization IN the
party. Tho November election will not
only paralyze the Force bill and mark the
final end and extinction OF the Mugwumps
but begin the reign Of straight Democracy.
