HARDRMAN'S HISTORY.
BY HISTORIAN.

from the earliest days of its exis-
tence have been worthy of the high
est admiration for their industry,
economy and love of law and order
Those who came here in the 2O's
had to battle with the wild beasts
of the wilderness, the lack of help
and scarcity of transportation. Then
there were no roads, no bridges, 10
ferries, no mills and but few stores
Nevertheless, they cut down the
trees aud built their houses. Some
not having a broad AK, made their
houses of round logs, rove their
boards four feet long, aud cover
ed their houses without nails. Then
to stop the cracks, they daubed them
with mud. For floors they split
puncheons from the logs, hewed
them to line, laid them close and
pinned them down with wooden pins.
For doors they split long boards,
shaved them with drawing knives,
pinned them on heavy battens and
hung them with wooden hinges.
Their chimneys were constructed of
sticks and clay mortar. The backs,
jams and hearths were made of clay
mortar. Their gardens were made
by making thin, long palings and
''wotling" them between three laths
which were fastened 10 the posts by
being pushed through mortices made
through the posts and pinned with
wooden pins. Those houses thus
built were warm and comfortable.
Our fathers were heroic, for it re-
quired heroism TO do such labor
with no implements to work with
but ak, auger and some had hand
saw. Young men, never despair
because you are poor and have but
few facilities for your work. The
bridges were built across the creeks
and hoored with puncheons and
fastened down with wooden pins.
In those days our fathers made
troughs in big logs, tanned their
own leather and made their own
shoes. The wives and daughters
had spinning-wheels and looms to
weave the cloth to clothe the whole
family, and they did it. In the late
hours of the night, in mid-winter,
you might hear the hum of the
spinningwheel and the cheerful |
song of the good housewife.
Those rough homes were the
lbodes of health, wealth and thrift.
The boys might be seen crouched !
in the corner on low stool reading
Weem's life of Washington or Ma
ZION.
The plows of that day were forg
ID out on the anvil by the neighbor-
hood blacksmith, and stocked by
he farmer. Axes aud augers were
made then by the same smith. After
lapse of time, they began to saw
ogs, on high scaffolds, into plank
o floor bridges and houses. Then
aw mills were erected and lumber
vas plentiful. Nice, substantial
csidences were erected.
The old log school house on the
ill had the Puncheon floors pulled
p and plank floors took their place.
md the benches, which had been
lade of small logs split in halves,
'ere supplemented by benches
hitch had been made of two-inch
Imber sawn at the mills. Yet,
hey had no backs.
In such houses and on such
enches our ministers, lawyers,
Octors and statesmen were educat-
l. And they were equal to any of
lr day and some of them superior
en-. Think about it, brought up
nd educated in houses without
Ill or plank in them.

Death Of a Man Who Was
Befriended Here.
A. A. Crozier Camped on Diamond Head.
Case In Which Reverend d. B.
Rirnie Acted.

1t will be recalled by good many
town people that about two years ago
Rev D. P. Birnie, on his own account
and as agent for others of the city,
furnished relief to a man who had re-
tired to a spot near Diamond Head
distress was A. A CrozIer. He was a
man Of education and refinement and
was 10th to accept charity. He was
induced to accept such relief as could
be offered and was finally sent to the
States
Rev. d. p. Birnie writes from New
York City that he has learned of the
death of CroZier at Ann Arbor, Mich,
January 2S, this year. A full account
is given in the Michigan Agricultural
College Record, published by the fac
ulty of this institution at Lansing,
Mich. The very highest tribute is paid
to the industry, services, capacity and
character of deceased. CroZier was a
graduaet of this college and afterward
one of its professors. He held at one
time an important position in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, was assistant in the experiment
lege, and was secretary of the Ameri-
can Pathological Society.
The following are among the trib-
utes paid to deceased in the Michigan
Agricultural College Record:

1T is needless to say to those who
knew him, that he was an orderly stud
ent, patient, unaSSUmlng, successful
and Industrious in the extreme"
Few men have loved their work as
did Arthur. To him it was more than
meat, more than raiment. 1t was to
him his very life. To it he sacrificed
every waking hour, upon it he lavished
every power of his being. He was a
model of industry. scientist of the
highest type. He rests from his labors
but his works shall follow him. Not
the citizens of his native state alone,
but lovers of plants the world over
have cause for gratitude for the work
he has faithfully and we'll done.
LAS a man, he was beloved by his
associates in the faculty for his I'M
failing manliness, his purity Of life
his integrity and his persistent self
denial. He was a manly man through
and through; in him there was nc

VIII Make a Trip to Virginia Hot
Springs - Strain of the Past
Two Years Now Telling.

NEW YORK, May "a Times spe-
cial from Washington says: President
McKinIeyis announcement that he will
on Monday leave the White House for
a visit of two or three weeks TO Hot
Springs, Va, is heard WIN satisfac-
ton by some Of his friends but with
unconcealed anxiety by others. The
reason for his going is admitted to be
i'll health but care is taken to assure
inquirers at the White House that it is
not a serious illness and that the Pres
ident expects to derive so much 5ene-
fit from the rest and use of the waters
as fully to justify him in separating
himself from his usual post OF duty.
The trouble with the President, it is
explained, is a tendency 20 Theuma-
tism which occasionally asserts it
al to close application to business. But
rheumatism, it is suggested, is but the
manifestation of a disturbance of his
normal functions and seems to Indicate
to his solicitous friends that the Pres
ident is more seriously burdened with
duties than is suspected by many who
meet him every day. He has been I'M
der tremendous strain for two years,
and during last summer was never
free from anxiety.
The President returned from Georgia
just about a month ago. Since his re-
turn he has been admonished by his
occasional lapses into WEAKNESS and
rheumatism that he needed more rest.
il has been with some discontinue that
he has at times joined the Cabinet on
regular meeting days.
The imperative necessity of relieving
him of much of the drudgery of receiv-
ing calls. some of them idle, but not the
less wearing has led to a stricter reg
ulation of official calls, restricting in
terviews to those who ought TO be seen
in the interest of the dispatch of public
business and the absolute refusal of
interviews on Cabinet days. In this
way the President has been able to
command more time for rest and atten-
ton to absolutely necessary confer
ences, but he has not been able TO COM
mand that complete rest that a private
citizen in need of rest to recruit his
health could have enjoyed.

An Opposition to the Leader Is Build
ing Up IN the Southern States.
AUSTIN, Tex, May 5.-Democratic
eaders in the Texas Legislature are in
eceipt of advices that there is an or
,anized movement on foot in all the
Southern States to down Bryan by
having concerted action taken in the
matter of fighting the trusts. The
movement was started in Arkansas,
the home of Chairman Jones, by the
introduction in the Legislature Of an
antitrust bill, and it is reported here
that the movement will be carried all
over the Southern States.
The politicians in the movement,
am told, believe that by pushing this
fight against trusts to the front they
can overshadow Bryan and his views
on silver and Imperialism and can thus
relegate him. to the rear While he is
opposed to trusts. he makes it a sec
ondary consideration, and the political
leaders propose to make it one of the
great issues.
In fact, according to information re-
ceived here, the next Presidential cam
paign will find this antitrust scheme
the main issue.

Napoleon and Wellington Both AVerse
to Use of the Weed.
In his Bright Sides of History" in
ST. Nicholas, E. H. House tells that
Napoleon and Wellington were alike
in one thing, neither OF them could
bear to smoke tobacco. Both tried it
once in their lives. and that was more
than enough. Wellingtons expert
ment was at a hotel in Portsmouth,
just after his return from the Spanish
campaign He was induced by a party
Of hardened smokers to try pipe, but
it gave him horrible sickness before
the first bowl was finished, and he
never made a second attempt. NapO-
Icons ordeal Awas still more quickly
over. His curiosity was excited by a
superb Asiatic pipe, which an Ambas-
sador from Persia had brought him,
and, with the blind confidence of igno-
rance. he announced his determination
to test its quality. Having been suffi-
GENTLY instructed. as he thought, he
set himself brayely at work. One puff
settled the business. He drew the
smoke into his mouth, but did not
know how to let it out again: and a
part went down his throat, while the
rest escaped through his nose. As
soon as he could stop coughing he be-
| gan to scold furiously. and ordered the
| servant to carry the denomination out
| of his sight This was his only expe-
rience with tobacco in that form
though he took snuff profusely in his
! later years"
