The period when the greatest
number of ex-presidents were
living was from the 4th of March
1861, until the 1st of January,
1862. When Abraham Lincoln
took his seat as president in 1861
there we're five ex-presidents liv-
ing: Martin VanBuren, John Ty-
Ter, Willard Fillmore, Franklin
Pierce and James Buchanan. At
no other time in the history of the
United States have there been so
manyliving ex-presidents. When
John Quincy Adams took his seat
in 1925 there were four ex-presi-
dents still living: John Adams Sr,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe.
VanBuren and Tyler both died
in January, 1862, Buchanan in
1868 and Franklin Pierce in 1874
and Andrew Johnson on the 31st
of July, 1875, so that from that
date until the 4th of March 1877,
there was not a living ex-presi-
dent. During Cleveland's first
term there were three living ex-
presidents, Grant, Hayes and
Arthur. AT the beginning of his
second term there was but one
living ex-president, Benjamin
Harrison. Cleveland himself has
now the distinction of being, the
only living ex-president,-Ex.

Dear Brother ond Sister, will
answer your letter found waiting
for me when 1 got back. was
80 days on the trip over, includ-
ing 3 day stop in Honolulu. We
had very stormy weather from
San Francisco to Honolulu, but
very nice weather the rest of the
journey. Arrived here about the
goth of March; there was about
1000 on board, which would make
a respectable little town on land.
We enjoyed ourselves with con-
certs, prize fights. theatres and
games, so that the time did not
pass so slow. am getting to be
quite an old sailor having travel
ed near 10000 miles by water
since 1 first started for here in
January 1899 and have about, 900
miles more to make this fall when
1 come back.
spent the three days we were
at Honolulu on shore and enjoy
ed the time in sightseeing and
learning all 1 could about the Ha-
waiian Islands and its people.
Honolulu is beautiful place and
it appears more than beautiful
when viewed the first time thru
eyes that had been storm tossed
and cooped up on transport for
nearly nine days. The streets
and avenues are lined with al
most every variety of tropical
tree and flower and a stroll thru
them in the early morning is an
experience well worth going a
long ways to indulge in, Among
the many things and places of in
terest visited was the palace, a
large modern building, formerly
the official residence of the queen
when royalty had its sway on the
islands. 1t is now the territorial
building. 1 visited Camp McKin-
ley, 81 miles out from the cen
trail part of the city, where Bat
teries and K of the 9th Artillery
are stationed, the only troops
there excepting some native mill
tia, l was up on the Pacific
Heights, some $40 feet above the
city which is reached by electric
railway. Here fine bird's-eye
view can be obtained of the city
and harbor and surrounding
country for miles. One of the
most superb panoramas, in my
estimation lever had the pleasure
to see and l have seen most of
the famous bits of scenery in the

The whole island of New York
was originally bought of the In
dams for an equivalent of about
twenty-five dollars. To-day New
York has a population of about
100000 which is exceeded by
only one other city-London. Its
wealth is enormous; it's annual
expenditures are more than twice
those of the Republic of Mexico,
and almost one-third as much as
those of the German Empire
with its population of $4,000, 900.
And it has become the financial

The ground IS plowed by steam
plows and the growing cane is ir-

by artesian wells. The natives

raw. They never have dyspep-

One of the most remarkable
proofs of the amazing growth of
that vast region of our country
commonly called the Northwest,
with its numerous sisterhood of
States and its population of more
than seven million people, is the
fact that it is only little more
than eighty years since the first
white baby was born there. The
child was a girl, the daughter of
a regular army officer, and she is
still living. A fascinating account
of her eventful life, the early
years of which werespentamong
