Boston Mercantile Journal Tells
the following anecdote of Tecumseh;
short time before the battle OF Tip
pecanoe, a talk was held between Gen.
Harrison and Tecumseh. The General
arriVed FIRST at the appointed place,
winch was an open spot, carpeted with
the green sward, and covered only by
the canopy Of heaven. He was nc
eompanied by his suite, arrayed in full
r~egimentals, and presenting a
and imposing appearance. Soon after,
lecnmseh approached the spot, clothed
IN splendid Indian military costume
which was well calculated 10 display
his athletic form. His n was not
that OF asuppliant. His bearing was
as naughty as II words were al his dis
posali and as he advanced toward the
spot where Harrison awaited him. his
step was firm, his form erect, with the
head slightly thrown back, his features
stern and rigid, and his nostrils were
dlstended like those OF the warehouse
when he scents the battle from afar.
Indeed his Whole appearance was that
OF one VINO asks no favor, but who,
goaded on by contempt and hatred,
breathes naught but defiance upon his
enemies.
AS Tecumseh proudly approached,
Gen. Harrison rose 10 receive the chief,
and pointing TO a bench prepared for
the purpose, said, Your white father
requests you 10 be seated"
Tecumseh cast upon the American
general a look Of unmitigated scorn and
Indignation. you my father?" said
he. No. The sun, pointing to that
luminary in the heaven, "is my fatherl
The earth" pointing TO the ground, sis

a SOC MnItary orrnnl,alIon.

Some time ago a move was begun to
form an important side issue OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic. In the
latter organization all that is required
for eligibility 10 members is the estab-
lishment ofthe fact that the applicant
enlisted in the army This, il is claimed
by some Of the b-attle-scarred veterans,
has let into the G.. A. b. many who have
no business there, and the recent move
is to form an organization Of those who
did the actual fighting and passed
through the privations OF long sieges
and braved the shot and shell
Of the enemy. Such an organization
known as the Comrades Of the Battle
Field" will soon be completed in this
city with n charter membership Of
about twenty. To be eligible to mem
bership, the applicant must have been
Ut least ninety days, total. under fire,
and must be able TO make satisfactory
proof of service. Instead of having
posts, the new organization will term
the place OF meeting Battlefield. "
Lieut.. Il. b. Grace Of St Louis is presi-
dent Of the new organizatson in the

cite Battlefield. A meeting will be
held in a few days TO complete the mat

AMERICAN NORSEMAN.
SONS OF THE NORTHWEST IN
THE SENATE.
Men Who Have Risen From the Hum
blest Walks Of Life to Seats in the
Greatest Legislature in the World
An Object Lesson for American Youth.

There is scarcely a man of promi-
nence in the Northwest in the Senate
who did not begin life a poor boy, and
there is not one who has not been a
bread-winner all his life.
Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin worked
on his fathers farm in New York until
he was seventeen, and then bought his
time from the old man for 500 and
started out to work for himself. His
father was a blacksmith and a farmer,
and Philetus did days labor, hauled
wood and anything he could turn his
hand to for the next four years. He
made enough money TO pay his brother
the 500 which he had loaned him
to buy his time, and he made a very
fair living besides. He worked in New
York ten years longer and in this time
saved 81, 199. His brother made him a
present of 81 more, and with this sum
of s., 200 he took his family and went to
Wisconsin. This was forty-fve years
ago. He is now worth millions,
andhe lives in a house in Washing
ton which must have cost more
than 500, 0O0. Every cent of his
money he made by judicious investment
and hard work, and with every year his
muscles seem to have grown stronger
and his industry and brain power
greater, until he is now, at &c, one of the
strong men of the nation.
The history of Senator Pettigrew
shows how they make men in the
Northwest. P~ettigrew went from wis.
consin to Dakota. He was born on a
farm in Vermont, and at G years of age
was taken to Wisconsin, where his par.
ents engaged in farming. The family
was poor and young Pettigrew worked
his way through a two years college
course and got his tuition for ringing
the college bell and doing other chores
of that sort. When he went to Dakota
to make a fortune he walked, and he

ness, threw himself into the develop
ment of the territory, and he slowly
but surely amassed wealth. He is %
but a little over forty years of age, but
he has an independent income. He
works, however, as hard as he did
when he "a at college, and you see
plain, everyday common sense sticking
out all over him. He is tall, angular
and loose-jointed. He weighs, | judge,
about one hundred and fifty pounds,
and his long face, covered with a thick
brown beard, Is more like that
of a good country grocer or
dry goods merchant than that of one
of the la-de-dah members of the mil
lionaires' club. He dresses in business
clothes, wears a turnover collar and is
not Mortified when he looks down and
finds that the creases have come out of
the front of his pantaloons and that
the legs begin to bag at the knees. He
is known in Dakota as the "Pickerel
Statesman" and he is considered one
of the sharpest and shrewdest men of
South Dakota.
Both of the Minnesota Senators are
self-made, though Washburn comes of
a noted family, and all of his brothers
have made fortune and fame. Old Israel
Washburn of Maine had seven sons, and
the cradle in which the boys were rocred
is kept in Norland's library in Maine.
1t is made of pine boards an inch thick,
rudely dove-tailed together, and its
solid pine rockers are shaped like half
moons. 1t is painted a dark green and
has been Drowned by age. In it
Senator Washburn was rocked.
Two of his brothers who were
ministers to foreign countries slept
in it, and it has held four Congress
men and two Governors. The father of
| all the Washburns was a farmer, and
the present United States Senator was
raised on a farm and until he was 20
he worked in the cornfields and hay
fields in the summer and went to the
common schools in the winter. He was
sent to Bowdoin college and studied
law with his brother Israel and then
went out to Minneapolis, where he set
tied about thirty-five years ago.
His life there has been an active one.
He has made and lost n or two for
tunes, and he is said to be a rich man
to-day. He looks more like a Presby-
terrain preacher than anything else.
His black side whiskers are of a cal
vanistic cut, and his blue eyes look out
of severe and cultured features. He is
vSty popular in his section and is a man
of weight. He has a magnificent house
in Minneapolis, and he rents at Wash
ington the prison-like structure
which belongs TO Senator Edmunds.
Senator Cush Davis, the other
Minnesota representative in the Upper
House, is the direct opposite of Wash
burn. Senator Davis looks like Ben
Butler. He was taken for Ben But
ler's son not long ago, when he and
Butler were stopping at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel together, and it is said
| that when he was counting his wife,
with whom, it seems, he fell in love at
almost the first sight, she insisted that
she had a photograph Of him taken
| when he was a soldier. He told her

A society Fnrnrite.

At Saratoga last summer Mrs. Benja-
min I. Beckel was considered one of
the most beautiful Of the many beauti-
full women there. What was true of
Saratoga is equally true of New York,
where she is not only one of the pref
test, but one of the most charming
women. She is tall and of perfect pro
portions, and is a perfect type of a
blonde. A mass of lovely golden hair is
like an aureole to her pretty face. Her
eyes are deep blue and she possesses a
matchless complexion.
Mrs. Beckel is one of the few really
excellent horsewomen and can handle
the ribbons admirably. Her home, No.
60 West Fifty-fifth street, shows every
where the traces of its fair mistress
refining touch, and is furnished with
exquisite taste. 1t is one of the pretti-
est houses in town and often the scene
of most enjoyable entertainments.

Villas is in his prime. During his
whole fifty-one years he has new
wasted a penny, either financially or
intellectually, and he has the accumu-
lated savings of a lifetime to use in
his political and forensic struggles.
He will probably be a leader of the
Democratic side of the chamber, and
is enough of a politician TO know
that he has TO take care of his State
and his section.

Clam Shells, too, Were Used by the An

docs it ever occur TO you to wonder
when you complain of the torture of
shaving how men managed TO keep
their faces clean before the eSquisitely
tempered steel razors Of to-day were
i~nvented?" said a scientist to a Wash
ington Star reporter.
You have only to observe the ancient
sculptures 60 see that shaving was prac-
tised in the earliest times. The faces
of the old Egyptians are represented in
their statues and bas-reliefs as clean
shaved except for the beard on the
chin. What sort of razors did they
use? Nobody knows, but something is
known about the evolution of the razor
in a general way.
1.-The first razor was a pair of clam
or mussel shells, with. which our saw
age ancestors pulled out the hairs on
their heads by grasping them as with
pinchers. In the course of time it was
found out that by sharpening the edges
Of the shells they could be ground
against one another so as to saw off
the hairs. Two keen, edged flakes of
stone could be employed for the same
purpose, as Mexican Indians utilize bits
of obsidian.
"As a rule, the straightforward and
scant- bearded races today, like the
North American Indians, pluck out
their boards. The Polynesians get rid
of their superfiuous hair with chloride
of lime, which they manufacture by
burning coal.
"When the bronze age arrived raaors
were made of hat material, which has
since been superseded by tempered
steel. The latest razors are fire and
electricity. BARRIERS of the most adj
vanced school nowadays SINCE the hair
instead of cutting it, and an electric
needle is used TO destroy hairs where
they ought not to grow by being thrust
into the follicles, a slight current kill
ing the roots"

cused upon the problem being pre-
scented. And he separated and exam
ined the several points in a case with
analytical accuracy.
Joseph p. Bradley was a New Yorker
by birth, and was born in 1913. He
was the eldest son of eleven children
and worked on the farm until he
reached the age of 16. He taught a
country school every winter from his
10th 10 his 21st year. His love of study
attracted the attention of the clergy
men of his village, Berne, n. Y, and
he was sent to Rutgers, where he grad
uated in 1896 with high honors as a
mathematician.
He studied law with Arthur Clifford
at Newark, N. j., and was admitted to
the bar. In 1910 he opened an office in
Newark and continued to practice
there until his appointment to the SUI
preme court by President Grant in 1870.
In 1874 he married Mary, daughter of
Chief Justice Hornblower, of New Jer-
sey, by whom he had two sons and two
daughters.
In 1859 Lafayette college conferred
upon him the decree of LID. One of
his most celebrated cases was the New
Jersey bridge case, which he argued
before the Supreme court in 1850.
Since his appointment to the Supreme
court Justice Bradley had taken a dis
tinguished part in all its important
proceedings. His mind was remarka-
bly, analytical, his legal learning so
large and accurate his acquaintance
with English and American decisions
SO extensive, and his habit of looking
beyond the rule for the foundation
principle SO constant, hat his opinions
were always of high value.
Justice Bradley was a Wing. and
later a Republican. When the South
ern States attempted secession, he de.
voted his whole power and influence to
sustain the Government.

THEODORE TILToN AND THE
FAMOUS BEEcHER SCANDAL
The Once Great Journalist and Lecturer
Now Living In Paris in Quiet Retire
ment Pages from the History of
Americas Greatest Scandal.

Theodore Tilton, who wa very promi-
nent in New York a few Years q as
a journalist, lecturer, literary mar and
political speaker, is still living in Paris,
and intends TO make that city his per-
manent home. His famous suit against
Henry Ward Beecher, which is yet
fresh in the public mind, created a
great deal Of prejudice against him and
lost him so many admirers that he fin
ally decided to 90 abroad and cast his
fortunes in the gay capital. He seems
TO be content and fully occupied
there, studying much and lead
Ing rather a quiet life. He
occupies a small apartment on the lie
lie la Cite, in the rear of Notre Dame
cathedral, and has collected in it many
books, pictures, ~engravings, and arti-
eles of bric-a-brac. His is a bachelor
establishment, as his former wife,
whom he continues to support, lives in
Brooklyn, and his children (his daugh-
tiers are married) in different parts OF
America.
He naturally looks much older than
when his was a familiar figure in
Broadway, New York; his long locks
having turned gray and many lines
and wrinkles having crept into his face.
He is considerably past so now, but his
figure and carriage remain youthful,
and though he must have suffered
greatly in the past seventeen years,
his conversation is as cheerful and bril-
liant as ever. He is not a regular
member of the American colony,
though he sees many of
his visiting countrymen, and is
very attentive and cordial TO them. He

The Board of Managers Of the Sol
diers' Home of the United States met
in Washington, d. c., last week. Only
routine business was transacted. Some
time was spent by the Board in making
estimates OF the amount of a%ppropria-
tions needed for the coming year,
and they will recommend appropria-
tions amounting to $1,000, 900. This
is for the National home and also for
the aid Of the government TO the vari-
GUS state homes. 1t is thought there
will be no trouble about getting a full
appropriation. The new soldiers home
that is in course of erection at NARROW,
Ind, will be one of the largest. 1t will
cost $500, 900 when completed and will
have % barracks with a capacity for
$500. There are now eight barracks
and 035 inmates, but new barracks are
being added every year as the appropri-
atoms will permit.
