There has also been erected to Lincoln

column in front of the city hall at the inter-
section of d and Az streets and Louisiana

RECORD
That Is Wonderful

Something About Mr..
Levin Lake
Whose Picture Will Adorn Head
quarters Of u. G. T.

A portrait of Levin Lake, who Is
said to be the most remarkable travy
cling man in the United States, will
soon adorn the walls Of the hendquar-
ters OF the United Commercial Travel
ers' In Columbus. The portrait Is TO
be made from a photograph presented
by G. l.. McCloud, Of Chicago.
Speaking Of Mr.. Lake, the Columbus
Citizen says he Is accredited with the
following remarkable attainments:
He Is the oldest active travelling man
in the United States.
For 81 years he has represented Il
single house in Chicago.
In this third of century he has
never made a sale that has proved n
bad account.
He made the first trip on the first
railroad train ever run in the United
States.

trains, and travelling an average OF
1000 miles month.
The story of Mr.. Lake may be told
with the variations that become the
travelling man and which are expected
of him. This, however, 10 the real
story:
| 1t Is conceded that Mr. Lake was
born at an early age,-on Sept. 7, 1917,
his parents choosing the eastern coast
of Maryland for that event. which has
been Of such importance to Mr.. Lake
In his after life. Following this event
the United Travellers association has
lost track Of his record UP to the time
of his marriage in Washington. d. c.,
just II years later The honeymoon

stage from Washington to Jackson.

lost sight Of Mr.. Lake, especially until
in 1868, when he received at oxford
Miss, a commission to travel for Philip

was the territory assigned and for 81
years he has been in the active ser.
vice Of this house.
One Of the first Of Mr.. Lakes exper.

the maiden trip of train that was run
over the first railroad extending from
Baltimore, 12 miles to Ellicotts Mills

CANDLE
DECORATION
Paraffine Beauties Succeed the
TaIIow Dip Of Ye Olden Days.

Like many another quaint accessory
of our forefathers, the candle is again
coming into vogue, not only as an ar.
ticle of household necessity, but as a
means of beautifying the home, draw,
ing room candles now being considered
an almost Indispensable factor of decor
alton for the o'clock tea, the dinner
party or formal reception. OF course the
candle of modern make, with its rich
veneer of color, Is q far different prod
uct than the old tallow dip with its ill.,
smelling smoke that taxed the eyes of
our ancestors. The decorative candle
Of today is an accurately proportioned
stick OF pure paraffine that burns
with light as clear and white as the
CLEAN of the evening star Clothed in
tinted shade Of shimmering silk, or
even paper, It enhances the beauty Of a
room or table hundred fold.
| From the custom Of decorating the
house with candles has sprun1 the pres.
ent day fad Of decorating candles with
| appropriate designs. There is no end
to the beautiful effects and suggestive
emblems with which a candle can be
orna mented, little paint small
brush, and gift of originality being
the only requisites to success. Every
holiday can be made the subject of
emblematic designs, while every dinner
party has many special features that
can be illustrated by candles.
At some Of the select functions given
Mt New York City recently the decora-
tions on the candles were masterpieces
OF artistic skill greatly admired by the
guests, many Of whom are collectors OF
decorated candles.
The fact that in nearly every family
there is someone with more or less ar
tistic ability makes candle decoration a
popular pastime, and II Is not surprls.
