our people. The young viii receive instruc~
ton from it, and those advanced in life
viii be pleased b. the recollections il
awAkens. The people OF Indiana think
are not sufficiently aware OF the real
growth and greatness of their state. 1t re
quires, in fact, but little study to ascer.
tain, and not much effort to show, that
Indiana according to area is the Creates
and most productive state in the Union.
and possessed of greater and more exten.
sive educational advantages than any othel
commonwealth OF equal population in the
world. These facts should be taught
everywhere among our people. 1 fully
believe in the doctrine of state pride, es-
pecially when there is a solid foundation
for it. Such publication as the one now
before me is well calculated to inspire the
young and old alike OF Indiana with lust
and laudable sentiments Of pride and
gratitude. 1t is indeed most charming
book. The Hkenesses, taken altogether,
are the best have ever seen in engrav.
ings of their character. Please accept

GOOD STORY OF FAMOUS MEN.
L'nooIn's Friendship for Cal Tom Murphy

Baltimore Neusl

L'nooIn's Friendship for Col. Tom Murphy
-Artbur's Rise.
Baltimore NeTal
Away back in the 40's there was a large
Wholesale hat concern located on Nesey-
st., New York. They had an Irish porter
who was both smart and ambitious. In
those DAYS the buyers used to come 10
New York, and not the drummers 90 on
the road as they do now. This porter
went 10 his employers and asked them TO
allow him to tai BE a case OF samples and
call on the buyers at the uptown hote.s
and see IL he could rot demonstrate that
he was fit for something better than
sweeping out" They allowed him to
try. He made a successful salesman.
Finally one of the firm died and the
young Irishman asked to be admitted to
the firm.
He was taken in. It happened that this
bat house had-as all jobbing houses had
in those days-a western attorney who
looked after their western accounts. His
name was A braham Lincoln of Springfield.
Ill. In 1860 he was elected president of
the United States On his way to Wash.
ington he was the guest for day or so in
New York OF his client-the Irish porter.
saiesmen-partner in the hat business.
Result? Mr.. President Lincoln took a
great fancy 20 his celtic client and asked
him to 20 on 20 Washington and see him
inaugurated and to spend few days with
him. Thomas Murphy accepted and he
and Mr.. Lincoln became fast friends.
When caps were wanted for the troops
Thomas Murphy's firm had the contract.
Some years afterward it happened that
Mr.. Murphy's house had an attorney in
New York city and his name was Chester
A. Arthur. Collector Thomas Murphy
tho same 'Tom"-when asked to resign
the Office Of collector OF the port of New
\ DIRK, was allowed to nominate his success
sor, and he named his friend c. A. Arthur.
Then it happened that the same "Chet"
Arthur became the president of the United
States. That is briefly the reason Mr.
Thomas Murphy was always so much at
home at the white house.
