Gates that . large part of the eastern

menaced by famine. In the govern

to be worse than ever before. The poor

tally is so great that in some places
the people have ceased to bury the

good enough to leave cereal food to
spare for others after providing for
wants at home, but the facilities for
transportation are bad, and the people
suffer whenever local crops fail. :"

IN MANUFACTURING TOWNS.

Developments In Industrial Centers In the
Vicinity OF This City.
The Chicago Heights Land Asso-
citation reports that during the past
week lots amounting to $15, 30 were
sold, and contracts were awarded for
the construction of eighteen dwell
ings and five business blocks. OF
the utmost importance to Chicago
Heights is the construction Of COM
plete terminal railroad system which
has just been begun by the Elgin,
joliet and Eastern Road, Drexel,
Morgan & Co. S line. This company
has begun work, on the terminal by
connecting the Chicago Steel Works
large plant with the main line of
their road. The terminal will enable
the steel company to receive its raw
material at one end of the plant and
load its manufactured products from
the other end, thus entirely dispens-
ing with teaming and trucking, which
will prove great saving to the com
pany. 1t will b. remembered that
the Chicago Steel Company has been
located since 1872 on the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway at North ave-
nue. and Noble street, and moved
their entire plant to Chicago Heights
on account of the superior railway
facilities furnished at that point.

Daniel wehster.. Childhood.

The childhood of Daniel Webster
aid not show the man. He was
crying baby and 4 pale, weak, sickly
boy, the slimmest child in the family;
hut at manhood he had a large,
stately frame, a massive head and an
iron constitution. The change had
been effected by working on his
fathers farm, INDUCING in outdoor
sports, and living frugal, temperate
life.
So robust and large was his body
and so impressive was his walk that
the coal-heavers OF London paused in
their work to stare AT him as he
passed them.
sydney Smith likened him TO II

is living lie. because no man on
earth could be as gre1t as he looked. f."
Carlyle called him "a parliamentary
Hercules, whom "1ne would incline

Perhaps the greatest physical COM

When Thorwaldscn, the Danish
sculptor saw Wcb,ter's bust in
Powers studio in Rome, he ex-
claimed: "Oh, design for Jupiter,

With difficulty he was made to be-
lieve that it was the head OF an
American.
Webster's early life contradicts the
popular notion that man is the crea.
ture of circumstances He, on the
contrary, made circumstances his
creatures. One of his friends, writ
ing after his death, said
"HiS school time was much inter
rupted, and from his own lips /
learned that Webster's struggle for
an education was continued from his
early childhood TO his thirtieth year.
Every step in advance was contested
by obstacles which he met with a
lion heart, and with lions courage
overthrow
Ills books were few at this time.
There were a copy Of Watts Hymns,
a cheap pamphlet copy OF Pope's
Essay on Man and the Bible, from
which he first learned TO read, to-
gether with an occasional almanac.
He used to say that at the age of
fourteen he could recite the whole OF
the Essay on Man.
