PEN WAS STOLEN

The pen fell under the coye,ous eyes ~
some one whose conscience had lost its
power and 1t passed from the possession
OF its rightful owner without a amid nro

The other inkstand was used bv Presi.

held after his Inauguration in 1869.
These enumerated are but few of tho
souvenirs which the tireless collector has
accumulated. but they will suffice as the
evidence OF what patience and reverence
Tor the past may accomplish in the leisure
hours OF an eventful experience.
The Times is henored with a special r..
membrance in the form of scrap col.
lection One book ofclippings is filled with
gems extracted from its columns, and there
are but few of the many choice exhibits
with which his cabinet is supplied that
occupies more exalted place in the es-
umation of the possessor than this same
reflex of the logic and philosophy OF the
world as represented about us every day.
