when he just misses being tender in his
good-by to the girls; when he finally
rounds out the work with mingled grief
and pleasure, locks the door, gives the
key to the director, watches the bun
dies of books and bundles of pupils
tread slowly away, hearts big with the
greatness of "the last day of school,"
and then turns from the whole picture
forever.
Modern schools have added many fea-
lures the old system needed. No doubt
there are better results from graded
work, since the books say so. But there
is no last day of school SO stupendous in
it's interest, so sweet to erase antipa-
thies, SO strong to weld friendships, as
the hast day of school which has drifted
one-third Of a century into the past.
III course examinations are good
things, since all the teachers have them,
but they do not lend a gracious blessing
to the last day of school. They spill
drop of bitterness into the pupils cup
of bliss on this final day of long COM
partnership, and they make promotion
very dearly purchased. OF course they
are good. Of course they are right.

JUDGE LYMAN TRuMBuLL.
The Distinguished Jurist Was
Termed "America's Gladstone"

The Distinguished Jurist Was
Termed "America's Gladstone"
Judge Lyman Trumbull, who recent
" passed away at his home in Chicago,
was fortunate and honored in life.
He was contemporary with the begin
ing and the end of the great anti-slav-
cry contest. He saw that sorrowful
time, so eloquently pictured and de-
plored by Webster, when States were
discovered, discordant, belligerent, and
the land was rent with civil feuds and
and drenched in fraternal blood, and he
lived to see his country restored, re-
generated and Disseminated, its flag
floating over the land and over the
sea, bearing on it's ample folds the
blazing inscription, Liberty and I'm
ion, Now and Forever, One and Insep-
arabic" In all this Lyman Trumbull
bore a great and distinguished part.
In a contest for the senatorship of
Illinois he was elected over Mr.. Lin
coin, who withdrew in his favor, and
five years later he was one of the fore
most advocates of Lincoln's election to
the Presidency. Then came the civil
war and all the complicated questions
growing out of it, anu Senator Trum-
bull brought to the solution of those
questions a sagacity, knowledge of
law and a dispassionate temper that
made him the wisest of counselors and
the most patriotic Of statesmen. Dur
ing the eighteen years of his senator
ial tenure he was the peer of Sumner
and Fessenden, of Grimes and of Sew
ard, Of Chase and Of Wade. No man
in all that famous catalogue of states
men deserved better Of his country
men than Lyman Trumbull.
Judge Trumbull was born in Colches-
ter, Conn, Oct. -, 1913. At the age
of 20 he had charge of an academy at
Greenville, Ga. In 1887 he was adj
mitted to the bar of that State. He
shortly thereafter removed to Illinois,
and in 1910 was elected represent
alive in the Legisla ture; before the ex-
piration Of his term he was appointed
Secretary of State and fulfilled the
duties of the latter office for two years.
Thereafter in the practice Of his pro-
fession he soon became the peer of the

MARK HANNA'S BIG JOB.

Some of the Things Demanded of a
Campaign Director.
In accepting the Craftsmanship of the
Republican National Committee Mark
Hanna has undertaken a big job. He
will be one of the busiest men in the
country during the next four months.
Fortunately he is of robust constitution.
One Of the chief duties Of the campaign
manager is to raise a campaign fund.
The greater part of the million dollars
used in a national campaign belongs to
the national campaign fund and is dis
tributed by the na tional chairman. 1t is
sent to the States where it is most need
ed and the ma tional, chairman must ex-
ercise good Judgment in the distribution

results. In a great many campaigns

work is collected by townships and
then is entered in large book for the
guidance of the State committee. The
committee complies list Of the doubt
full voters who may be 10000 or even
10000. To all these campaign litera-
ture is sent and after time man is
assigned to see each Of them and argue
with him the necessity of voting the
Republican ticket.
All of this involves a great deal of
expense. The missionaries as a rule do
not labor for nothing, and the clerical
work is costly. There are travelling ex-
penSes, the hire of horses and vehicles
to drive through the country, station
cry and printing and postage. All these
expenses are legitimate and necessary
for the conduct OF a systematic cam
paign. Then there are the expenses OF
campaign orators who receive in some
cases also large salaries. Finally, there
are campaign writer's. For the national
committee and the State committee as
we'll keep on their pay rolls many train

rails to the press for the benefit of the
party in the campaign. There are other

with Mrs. Mckinley, as with Mrs. Cleye-

night, absent or near, her thought has
been ever and always of William Nc

country she sat at home, an invalid in

ISOLATION in looking at his photographs.
She would sit for hours at time hand

when he came a-wooing; then one Of
his first political victory; another when,
IN the full vigor of manhood, he went to
the national congress, and so on. Daily,
in campaign times, when her husband
was on the stump in nearly every state
of the union, Mrs. Mckinley received a
telegram at breakfast, another at noon,
and one at night, from the devoted hus-
band, who in the midst of plaudits and
adulation never forgot the patient in

Carl Ferdinand Feigenbaum was
killed by electricity in the state prison
at Sing Sing the other morning for the
murder of Mrs. Julia Hoffman in New

AS the murderer's body was being
carried from the death chair, William

more than year and half to save the
life of his client, made statement de-
claring his full belief that Fiegenbaum
was Jack the Ripper" author of many
of the Whitechapel murders. The ADJ

In which the lawyer explained that he
revealed the secret of the dead because
he felt it to be his duty to science and
to law. Fiegenbaum had been guilty Of
perhaps dozen butcheries; that one
night Fiegenbaum told him he had been
the victim of malady which period
iically preyed upon him and which
forced him in spite of himself to satisfy
the incarnate love he had for woman by
numbering and mutilating her. Later,
Lawton learned that Fiegenbaum was
in Wisconsin at the time the country
was startled by the news of the murder
and mutilation of women there; then
he was in London when so many women
