their parents and grandparents before
them and are quite as likely to live
through it. Old John Adams idea of a

DILLON IMPLEMENT GO.

But at the close of the war he returned
to Vermont and became associated in the
law firm of Governor Chittendcn, whose
daughter he soon afterward married.
So steadily did this young enthusiast
win his way into the hearts of the people
that he was sent to represent them in the
continental congress. While serving in
this capacity he fought the ''alien and
sedition'' bill and once in the heat of argu-
ment spat in the face of his opponent, a
man of the name of Fitzgerald, / think.
For this he was arrested, and refusing bail
was imprisoned. While in prison he was
again chosen to represent his adopted state
IN congress.
Subsequently he was sent by the govern
1Llent to Arkansas to settle some Indian
disturbances in that locality. Finally he
drifted to Kentucky, or "Fincastle caun-
ty," as it was then known. Here he Joined
forces with Daniel Boone and became an
Indian fighter, his love of adventure find
ing in this pastiMe D fitting means for its
accomplishments.
A remnant of the fort built by Boone
and himself is still standing at the june
ton of the Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers. The huge stone chimney, large
enough to roast two or three oxen in at
one time, forms the foundation for a house
which he afterward built and in which he
lived when he first settled in Kentucky.
This house is one of the historical spots in
the Blue Grass State, and many tour
lists annually visit it. The little three cor
ncred rooms, queer chimney places and
portfolio windows are reminders of the
time when Kentucky was known as the
clark and bloody ground"
From that state Matthew Lyon was also
sent to congress, and often when hot in
debate he would Cry out, by the bulls

sometimes carried with 1T a conviction OF
the justice of our cause and our right to
revolt. Such was its tone when it reached
the little hamlet in Ireland wherein dwelt
Matthew Lyon, a STRIPPING yet in his teens.
An old sea captain from America was a
guest in the Lyons home, in which Mat
thew was not happy with his stepmother
and from which he had frequently begged
his father to let him depart. He listened
day after day to the wonderful tales of the
old salt, tales told with "a sea captains
coloring, that would have made the story
of SinGbad, the sailor, tame in comparison.
The more he listened the more restless
he grew. and finally he determined that he
would 90 to America. AS the captain
would not take him without the consent
of his father, and that consent could not
be obtained, he bidcd his time, and the
night the old captain sailed away Mat
thew Lyon shipped as a s~tOWaWay.
Not until he was too far out to be re-
turned did he reveal himself to the cap
tain, who was very angry and swore all
the oaths in the sea captains vocabulary,
declaring that he would return him by the
first boat that sailed on their arrival in
America. "Do YOU know he said, that
YOU will be sold as Il vagrant over there if
you land without money or friends"
This did not brighten the determined
boy, who said ne was willing to be sold
anything to get there.
The vessel landed in Boston harbor.
Governor C%hittcnden met the captain, who
was a personal friend, the day after the
arrival. The captain told him of the dar-
!, ing little stowaway, and they agreed to go
through the form of IA mock sale. The boy
took his stand upon the sale block, and

Chittenden for a pair of bulls.
He went home with his purchaser, made
5 himself generally useful and soon found
t such favor in the eyes of his master that
. the latter took him into his office, where
he commenced the study of law. He was
:. soon an interested participator in the Bos

the "Green Mountain Boys" under com

MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR.
AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF
TRUE PHILANTHROPY.
What Charles III. Hackley Has Done
for Western Michigan.
From Grand Rapids (Mioh.) Evening
preSe

From Grand Rapids (Mich) Evening
Press.
The most beautiful spot in all this city is
inseparably associated with the name Of
Hackley. Chas. III. Hackfa has been in
the lumber business here continuously since
1856 and i'll that time has amassed fortune
which gives him rating among the wealthy
men of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening of the purse
strings which is generally marked charac-
teristic of wealthy men.
1t is no wonder then that the name of
Charles III. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. His munifcence TO Muskegon alone
represents an outlay Of nearly half a million.
For the past twenty years he has been
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu-
matiSm, also numbneSS of the lower limbs,
so much so that it has seriously interfered
with his pleasure in life. For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed to grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had in
youth. .....
To reporter for the News Mr.. Hackley
explained the secret of this transformation.
Il have suffered for over 20 years." he said
with pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief could get at night was
by putting cold water congresses on my
limbs. / was bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains in my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, finally be-
came chronic l made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief and
then fell back to my original state. l
couldn't sit still and my sufferings began to
make life look very blue. Two years ago
last September l noticed an account of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly reSembled mine that | was
interested, so | wrote to one who had given
testimonial, an eminent professor of music
in Canada. The reply | received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and it
gave me faith in the medicine.
81 began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. 1t was two or three months be-
fore l experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was of
such long standing that | did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved. progressed, rapidly, however,
toward recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself a perfectly well man. l
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to
health through the medium of this wonder
full medicine. l can not say too much for
what it has done for me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,

ROBERT BURNS.
Some of the Torrible Impediments That
Beset His Pathway Through Life.

He was born and brought up in the
midst of poverty and comparative ig-
norance. When, in 1857, Nathaniel
Hawthorne visited the poets residence
at Dumfries and took notice of its
filthy surroundings, he wondered that
Burns could have preserved his mar
velous genius in such an unsavory
spot, says the Westminster Review.
The author of The Scarlet Letter"
was even more Mortified at the
wretched aspect Of Burns farm at
Mossgiel, and could but compare the
habitation in which the Scottish bard
passed so many of his days to a pig
sly. cit is sad" wrote Hawthorne,
''to think Of anybody-not to say
poet, but any human being-sleeping,
eating, thinking, praying and spend
ing all his home life in this miserable
howell" He praises the '.heroic mer-
it" of Burns for being no worse man
amid ''the squalid hindrances" that
beset the poets moral and intellectual
development.
Hawthorne was right. Low asso-
Citations, bad sanitary conditions, and
the companionship of the vile are all
but fatal to human virtue. Burns was
never utterly degraded. He was al
ways, in spite of his failings, true
man, and his passionate love for his
fellowmen outlived all his sufferings.
His relations with Jean Armour,
though they proved his frailty and
hers, were honorable to him, for he
left nothing undone to repair the error
of his youth. His intemperance was
rather the effect of his convivial dis
position than of any vicious tendency.
If he sinned he paid the penalty, one
might say, with his life. His career
terminated at 81, and, having regard
to his circumstances and opportunities,
his record as a poet is unparalleled,
for no man ever achieved so much as
Burns with so little aid from the world
and with such terrible impediments in
his nath

Dog Is Not Bad Eating,

There is actually nothing in the
flesh of the dog that is distasteful or
repulsive. Lewis and Clark the ex-
plorers, who learned to eat it through
oompulsion, actually became fond of
it in time. 1t is not generally known
that it is a favorite article of diet
among certain people, but French
paper says that the number of dogs
slaughtered at the abattoirs in Munich
has increased amazingly in the past
few months. The taste for dog flesh
is said to have been imported by
Italian laborers, who have recently
come in large numbers to the Bavarian
capital. The meat is used not only
as an adulterant for sausages, but is
eaten openly, under it's own name,
prepared in various ways.--New York
Christian Advocate.
