spotted capacity, but came in handy
! during the war dance at the evening

the public of the educational nature
of the collection always drew the

| large numbers that it was found nee
essary to change part of the collec-
ton of horrors" into kings and
queens to please the scholastic tastes
of these patrons.
The tent was pitched near the end

those wild California places where all

| Never had Daniel in his den, which

Tichborne Claimant-and what a lot

sure.-was an object of much atten-
i ton, and with the working-class audi
ence was almost as popular as Daniel.

light. 1t was that of a young man.
When he stepped out into the glow
of the lamp he stood hesitating, APP
parently wondering whether or not
he should advance any further, and |
could see in the faint light of the
lamp that he was not the most hand
some or intellectual young man in the
world. His forehead came bullying
out under his hat, and his eyes were
large and watery, and there was
vacant look in his face. Still he
seemed harmless. so | beckoned to
him and said
Good evening, sir. What can we
do for you?"
Before he could answer my wife

There is enough in his personality,

justify our highest pride IN him. and
to make us hold up this new product
of our new land, whose honesty and
strong good sense, whose earnest
faith and indomitable purpose, fit
him to stand like modern Aristides
or New World Cato But when the
slow judgment of the years is made
up, it will take this man of the West,
who LED us through the fires of
terrible civil strife, and, seeing how
his achievements reached out to all
mankind and secured the work
which cost the toll and struggle of
ages, will range him side by side
with the men who saved Greece from
Persian barbarism, and those who
saved Rome from Gallo anarchy, and
those who gave this continent to the
free institutions of the English race.
