According to this idea, the masses are
only the people who work with their
hands. But what becomes of the men
who work with their brains? These re-
porters here, according to Mr. Bryan, are
every one of them monopolistic oppres-

work are oppressors of the toiling masses.

David S. Hendriek, who was recently
elected president of the National AssO-
citation of Life Underwriters. With no
capital but natural ability and conf
dence in his own power, he started out
at the age of Is by becoming a clerk in
the business esta blishment of his uncle
in Tennessee For 10 years he worked
faithfully and practiced such frugal
economy that at the end Of that time he
was able to buy out his uncle's interest
in the business.
In 1888 he entered the life insurance
business in Nashville, and soon after
taking it up he was appointed the agent
for the New York Life in Tennessee,
Georgia and Florida. In 1891 he was
made the general Tennessee agent for
the Manhattan Life, with headquarters
IN Nashville. Two years later the states
of Maryland and Virginia and the Dis
trict of COlum bia were added to his ter
TitOry, and his headquarters were re-
moved to Washington. Thus in less than
ten years from the time when he began
working in this line he has reached the
very top, a record which proves that he
has unusual business ability and special
qualifications for this particular branch
of work
Mr.. Hendrick has been a member Of
the National Association of Life Under
writers since the formation Of that or
ganization, IN which work he took a
hand, and he has been one of the hard
est workers in the ranks since then, do
ing everything in his power to make the
association a success. That the recent
convention passed of so smoothly and
was so largely attended is largely due to
his efforts. Mr.. Hendrick IS a mem Der Of

an Odd Fellow. He resides in Washing

M,KINLEY,S NEW HOME.
The Wilder Mansion at Wattoquottoe
Hill is Chosen


Boston. Nov. 1S.-By a strange reversal
Of tickle fate the mansion once intended
as a refuge for Napoleon ]. is now des-
tined to become the summer residence
Of the new Napoleon from Ohio The
well known and historic Wilder mansion
at Wattaquottoc Hill. Bolton, has just
been purchased by millionaire J. Wyman
Jones of Englewood, n. J.
The transfer has considerable signifi-
canoe attached. from the fact that Jones
is the brother-in-laW of Mark Hanna,
and it is stated on excellent authority
that the estate was bought for President
Mckinley. who viii occupy the premises
as a summer residence. Set in the midst
of one of the most beautiful landscapes
in Massachusetts. it would make a fitting
home for the first man and lady in the
land The neighborhood is purely New
England, and Bolton is an ideal old fash
toned town.
The house is a large, square, two story.
wooden structure with complicated roof
From it extends in either direction two
wings. A broad veranda runs along the
entire front, supported by white pillars
The land slopes abruptly from the high
way Large stables stand at a distance.
There are 30 rooms in the house. the ap-
pointments being complete for gentle
mans country residence The farm has
$50 acres. 1t is the intention to thor
oughly improve the property, and the old
mansion viii be renovated. The plaster
in all the rooms viii be replaced and ex-
tensive repairs will be made about the
stables and outbuudings. A new YER
anda will be constructed.

successful candidate, and he is to be one
of the eight men who compose the gov
ernor's council, an august body, which
lends something TO the great dignity
which surrounds the Office of chief ex-
ecutive of the commonwealth in the Old
Bay State, but which is unknown in
most Of the other states of the Union.
Mr.. Allen was born in slavery on a
plantation at Hampton, Va, about "a
years ago. During the war he ran away
from his master and found protection
inside the Union lines. General Butler
picked him up and afterward made him
steward on his famous yacht America.
Later on Allen opened a restaurant in
the west end of the city. He was sue
cessful in business and is said to be in
comfortable circumstances. For d num-
Der of years Allen has been an active
figure IN local politics. He has been a
ward leader of no little influence and
was an enthusiastic oampaigner for
General Ben Butler in his historic can
vass for the governorship.
As member of the governors coun-
Gil Mr. Allen will be called upon to
take no very active part IN running the
state government, the position being
largely an honorary one. but he will be
expected to be present at various i'm
pressive and solemn functions Of state
and to attend the governor when recep-
lions Of a semiofficial nature are given
at the statehouse. The governors eoun-
Gil can suggest a policy IN dealing with
certain lines of legislation, and all ap-
pointments made by the governor must
first be approved by his council before
they can be confirmed. Mr.. Allen will
frequently be called upon to appear
IN a clawhammer coat, but his duties
viii be light. His salary viii be $3.50 a
year, with all expenses paid, which will
allow him to hire an extra cashier in
his restaurant and devote considerable
of his time to the interests of the COM
monWealtth.
