The answer 10 such a question as
this would naturally involve a discus
sion OF the different kinds Of warfare
bat il IS evident that any nation what
ever in order 70 carry on war against
the United States must be aggressive: and
a war, in the main, would be offensive, or,

lumber investments. He was in the
lumber business before he went to WIS
consin, and he travelled over that state
shortly after his arrival and found just
where the best pine lands were. Shortly
after this there was big auction sale of
pine lands, and this sale was made by
quarter-sections. Sawyer had map of
the district, and he had figured out on
what quarters the best pine was. In many
cases three-quarters of a section would be
swamp and the other quarter would be
the finest of timber land. Sawyer wen to
the sale with this map in his
mind, and the first day he bid
upon the best pieces, but he
found that party Of New York men were
banking on his knowledge of the lands
and were bidding against him. Whenever
he wanted particular section these men
would run II up beyond his figures and
take 1t. He had a reputation for know
ing the state, and they We're relying upon
his judgment. The second day Of the sale
Sawyer got one Of bis friends TO bid on the
pieces of land that he wanted, and he him.
self bid up only the poorer sections. The
New York men still followed him and
every time he made bid they increased il
by a few dollars better. The result was
that Sawyer's agent got his land for
song and that these New York men bought
a great quantity Of swamp and marsh.
The day after the sale had closed they
came around 10 cali upon Sawyer, and
asked him what he thought Of their pur-
chases. He replied that they had gotten
two or three pieces Of good land on the
first day, but as Tor that they had bought
during the rest of the week they had better
take iatooat along if they wanted to get
az them.

on his fathers farm in New York until he
was IL and then bought his time of the old
man for 500, and then started out to work
for himself His father was blacksmith
and farmer and Philetus did days labor,
hauled wood and anything be could turn
his hand to for the next four years. He
made enough to pay his brother the 500
which he had loaned him to buy his time
and made very fair living besides. He
worked in New York ten years longer, and
in this time saved 81, 199 His brother
made him present of 81 more and with
this sum of s., 200 he took his family and
went to Wisconsin. This was forty-hve
years ago. He is now worth millions and
he lives in house in Washington City
which must have cost more than $i00, 1000.
Every cent of his money he made by ju-
dicious 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 rs one of the strong men of
the nation. With advancing years
his stout frame has been cushioned
with fat. and he is now almost as broad
as he is long. He has a big dome of
head set close down upon a pair of broad,
well-rounded, fat shoulders. His hair has
grown gray, and the short, stubby beard
which fringes his strong chin is made up
of little silver wires, and the soft, silky
fringe of white, which starts above his
ears and runs around the great bald dome
OF his head, looks like hoar frost. But
the skin within it is as rosy as the cheeks
of baby just in from the cold and the
red color of his cheeks indicates that his
blood is full of iron. He talks well and
works well. Rich as he is there is no
more industrious man in the Sonata than
he, and he will waddle about all over
Washington City for any deserving man
who asks him. He does more thank you
business than any man in tho Senate, and
he has gotten more pensions for his con-
stituents than any man in congress. He
does good more from kindness of heart
and good-fellowship than from any
desire for political preferment, and
