What with canaigre, coffee
and sugar plantations and rice
as an issue the demand for
plantation tools is growing
apace. The clearing of coffee
land requires more tools, or as
many, at least as preparing
land for cane. Every first
class store should carry a
stock Of them but not all Of
them do. Ours is as complete
in these lines as others, and
there is nothing in the line Of
Plantation Tools as everything
else-you know what that
means.
Then there's the price. Our
method of buying means low
price in selling. We have a

2lO King street.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-05-10

The most delightful and interesting
accounts of the life led by James Mon
roe in his New York refuge are still
extant. He was a country gentleman
of the old school and was, of course,
deeply respected by all his neighbors
as an ex-president of the United States.
He daily walked down Marion street as
constitutional until his health gave
out completely. oddly enough, the
neighborhood still retains the quaint,
old-fashioned, almost colonial charac-
ter IL had during James Monroe's time.
Marion street, as you leave the door of
the immortal doctrines expounder, is
still occupied by the houses which
stood there in 1881. These houses be-
long to old families, among whom Mon
roe's name is personal tradition. The
sons and daughters of the children who
played about the door can tell you
about Monroe in his stockings and
stocks, because he saluted their parents
as they saluted him.
BY a singular stroke of fortune this
old house, with its three stories and at
tic, is still strong and intact. The
American people are very ready to con-
tribute to the preservation of Carlyle's
house, in London, while to-day the
house of the man whose name is on
everyone's lips, and whose creed is our
national religion, is utterly neglected.
The jingoes of congress have not a
word to say with reference to the
preservation of this Monroe relic. New
York has allowed il to rot away for
years Very soon, in the ordinary
course of events, the edifice will be
torn down. Perhaps 1t is better so.
While 1t stands 1T must always be
reminder to the American people that
they allowed one of the greatest OF
their presidents to die in restitution.
II was only natural that. during the
period in which Monroe lived at this
now decaying house, men of eminence
should come to visit him. Among them
was John Quincy Adams. He recorded
the visit very infinitely in his diary,
and commented feelingIy upon the mis-
cradle condition in which he found the
ex-president. Mr.. Monroe was indeed
very i'll and feeble. His condition was
so wretched, in view of his extreme
poverty. that John Quincy Adams drew
very moving portrait of the old man.
He mentioned the former magnificence
of Monroe, and, contrasting it with his
present Indulgence, made various rehec-
tions upon the mutability OF human
fortunes. Those who are curious on
such topics may consult Adams letters
and dairies with profit.
Monroe died at last, with the cannon
booming all about him in honor or the
nations birthday. His son-in-law,
Mr.. Grosvenor, afterward- told about
the melancholy of the old man, whose
heart had been broken by his country's
neglect. Congress had, with great par
simony. refused payment of certain OF
his claims. Monroe was buried in Sec
ond street cemetery, where his remains
lay utterly neglected and unmarked for
years, until the legislature of virginia
appropriated funds for their removal
to his native state. The usual bunet-
ing of fortune followed them, for van
dals stole the bronze from the grave
after the interment in Virginia. OF all
our presidents, Monroe has been the
least honored by memorials.

Among the many incidents OF the trip
of the gallant First Defenders" who
have been visiting the scenes OF 35
years ago is one that is related by John

Mr. Mckee is a prominent attorney
from Western Pennsylvania, and al
though small in stature, possesses a
stout soldiers heart.
"Everyone knows" said Mr.. Mckee,
"even the young schoolboy, OF the
warm reception which met the Logan

time in Baltimore. man among the
crowd on the platform addressed us.
He said he was looking for little
fellow who. 35 years ago, gave him III
with which to buy whiskey. He was
anxious to know If the little fellow
was with us, or If he had been killed
during the war.
81 went forward and claimed the
mans acquaintance, and he said. as he
shook my hand and looked me over:
"'Well. the little fellow who wanted
the whiskey was just bout your size,
anyway"
