Felch took his seat in the senate when
years he shared the honor of being one
of the three oldest living ex-members of
the senate, George Washington Jones,
of Iowa, and James W. Bradbury, of
Augusta, Me-, being the other two. His
remembrances of those days in the SEN
ate were full of interest, and he de-
lighted to dwell upon them.
Shortly before his death he said: 'In
my day the senate was one of the most
dignifed legislative bodies in the world
The great men of that time were true
statesmen, whose object was the main
tenance Of their principles and the adj
vcncement of the interests of the coun-
try. There was no such thing as the
hurrah of the senate of to-day. There
seems to be great deal of nonsense in
that body now; too much attention is
paid to the advancement of partisan in
terests and too little to the considera-
ton of the country's interests"
Gov. Felch's friendship for Long
fellow began in the schooldays at Bow
dom college and lasted until the death
OF the poet. He was frequently a guest
at Cambridge, the poets home. He al
ways spoke of him as retiring, modest
youth, with the pleasantest manner,
during the college days, who devoted all
the time he could spare from his studies
to writing poetry. While still atschool
he published volume that attracted
the attention of the country to him.
Hawthorne he never saw after leaving
Bowdoin, but he remembered him as not
only modest but bashful to painful de-
gree, so much so that very few of his
fellow students knew him Intimately.

WAS A GRAND OLD MAN.
Ex-Gov. Felch, Who Died Recent
ly at Ann Arbor, Mich.
He Was One of the Three oldest Living
Ex-Members of the United States
Senate-His Friendship for the
Poet Long fellow.

The death of ex-Gov. Alpheus Felch
removed not only one of Michigan's
greatest men, but a national character,
the associate of Webster, Clay and Cal
houn, and the schoolmate and intimate
friend of Longfellow and Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
Michigan's "grand old man" is the
title that the people of that state in af-
lection and gratitude gave to this man,
whose name is written upon every page
of'the states history, and upon whom
the people of Michigan have bestowed
all the honors in their power. AS a
member of the state legislature, auditor,
bank commissioner, judge in the su-
preme court, governor and United
States senator he served the people well
and won for himself their reverence
and affection.
Gov. Felch was born in Limerick, Me-,
September 2s, 1906. At the age of Is he
entered Phillips (Exeter) academy, and
graduated from Bowdoin college when
81. In 1880 he was admitted to the bar
at Bangor, Me-, and three years later he
came west, settling in Monroe, Mich,
where he remained ten years, when he
removed to Ann Arbor, where he lived
for over so years. His political life be-
gan in 1885 when he was elected to the
legislature. Serving in this body two
years he was appointed bank commits
sioner, and in this capacity gave valu-
able assistance toward the destruction
of what was known as the wildcat"
banking system. In 1912 he was elected
to the state supreme court, where he re-
manned until elected governor in 1916.
1t was in 1s47 that he was sent to the
United States senate to represent the
state of Michigan in the grandest gath
ering of intellectual giants this country
has ever known. There he was engaged
in the great intellectual battles in which
Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Benton were
the leaders and against the compromise
slavery measures that postponed but
could not prevent the civil war. Gov.

From time immemorial the mouse has
been classed with the pests with which
mankind has had to deal. The little ami
NAL has three leading and discreditable
characteristics i. e., thief, trespasser and
destroyer of property. 1t is therefore
not surprising that human ingenuity
has been ever actively employed against
the unwelcome creatures life.
Besides the chemist with his poisons,
and the wood and wire workers with

a natural foe in the cat; but notwith-

Miss Winnie Anderson will appear

There is more of interest and more of
fascination than attends the ordin-
Larry attraction of this kind, both be-
cause of Miss Anderson's well known
power and again because of her re-
cent successful tour to the old coun-
try, where she was received with the
most marked signs Of favor by sa-
wants of England's metropolis. or
Miss Anderson's power and ability
there is no room for doubt, no OPP
portunity for question; things that
she does under the tull glare of light
are but little if any short of the mir
aculous, and the feats that she per-
forms call to mind but far eXcelling
those famous feats of Davenport and
his followers. There is and perhaps
always will be vast amount of the
idle curiosity about the subject of

OF the deepest interest to those whd
desire their curiosity to be aroused

More Sion.

The worthy Mr.. Green who per-
ports to run Democratic newspaper
in Logan, and who imagines he Is
the only democrat In the county,and
of whom the democratic party in
Hooking knows that il the said party
is Green and Green only that he is
democrat, undertakes again to mix
up little slop and smear it on his
toilet sheet, concerning the music
that was furnished at the Governors
reception Tuesday evening. We
feel no necessity of saying word to
the contrary of his statements, be-
cause forsooth but few readers has
he and they know his capacity. But
for few that may be misled by this
dirty, sloppy liar, we will say that
Mckay nor Mr.. Huls either assisted
in the music Tuesday evening. The
affair perported to be II nonpartisan
gath ering and scores of Democrats
paid their money and attended. IN
lieu of this the committee asked that
two members of the Campbell quar-
tette, Marshall and DollisOn, and two
members of the Bushnell quartctte
Sanderson and Bright, should form
quartette, and render one selection,
which they did, and which was the
only singing of the evening. Now,
Green's poisoned, filthy, decayed
brain puts it that the Bushnell Glee
Club, composed of Sanderson, Nc
KAY, Huls and Dollison furnished
the music, and he was present and
knew that Huls and Mckay did not
sing at all.
That is the kind of Il man or a
nothing that Green is. Itseems that
Dollson is the manager of n Hook
ing county paper called the OHIO
DEMOCRAT, and Is going along fairly
well, thankful for small favors. The
paper is giving its whole life and at.
tention to the principles and success
of Democracy, which success Green
claims to foster; then agreed upon
one aim in life we cannot understand
his position in opposing us. Editor
Mckay should oppose us, but when
Il man is struggling along in II cause,
and strong assistance comes to his
aid, we think he should be glad of
our coming. But, Green does not
like us, somehow. He does not like
anybody, and nobody likes him. He
snarls and snaps at the dust as cur,
thus ostracizing himself from good
people and society. But we have all
the sympathy in the world for him,
and forgive his short comings; and
good readerif he snaps at you. please
likewise forgive him, for he knows
where of he speaks.
