cob McGraw, Websters commission
was given to paint the features OF
Capt Wilder. In the course of time
the portrait was completed and the
artist waited patiently for Webster to
claim his picture and pay for it, but
yolrs went by and never a word from
the great man. Finally in conversa-
tion oHe day with the artist. Mr.. Nc
GIcw declared
Well Mr. Hoyt, | guess Dan has
forgotten all about the picture and |
don't believe he will ever take it,"
The artist agreed with the lawyer,
and the result of the talk was the pur-
chase of the picture by Mr. McGraw,
who kept it until his death, twenty
five years ago. when he directed that
it be given to his niece, Mrs. Hassard.
The background of the portrait is
now dark with age, but the figure Is
quite distinct, and the features are yet
clearly defined and luminous. The sub
ject was in his eighty-fourth year
when he sat for the portrait.

Prince Henry of Prussia according
to story told by diplomat who was
once attached to the British embassy
in Berlin, was one day chatting with
an English friend in a cafe in Bonn.
when he became an object of suspi-
sion to a minor official The prince Is

of state in a public place. but on this
occasion some subject arose which.
while not of general interest. related
to the imperial family. The conver-
sation was in English, and the spy
ing official was acquainted with that
language At length Prince Henry
remarked:
why, my dear fellow, don't you see
that the emperor would be even era
zier than some people seem to believe
he is If ne did anything like that?"
The official leaned toward his royal
highness and said:
"Sir, are you aware that there is a
lese majestic law in this country? Let
me hear another remark of that kind
and I make a complaint against you"

gion story long forgotten
OF Daniel Webster, his impulsiveness
and his carelessness. This portrait Is
that OF a hero OF the American reyolu-
tion-Capt Luke Wilder-who was a
chum of Webs.ers father, Ebenezer,
the latter, also having been an officer
in the Continental army. Wilder was
one of the closest friends of the great
orator.
Capt. Luke Wilder was born in Ian
caster, Mass. and afterward moved to
Salisbury N. H., the home of the
Websters, and where the statesman
was born in 1882. He was a man of
splendid physique, standing over six
feet in height, and was noted for his
strength and courage. At the break
ing out of the Revolution he at once
offered his services to the Colonial
government and formed a company,
receiving captains commission. He
took his company to join Gen. Stark S
forces, and they performed valiant
service at the battle of Bennington.
After the close OF the war Captain
Wilder engaged in various business
enterprises, farming, numbering and
trading. with varying success. Hav-
ing suffered a serious financial re-
verse, he moved to Maine, and was
located for a time in the town of
Hudson, not far from Bangor, after
ward going to Bangor. where he
died on November "a, 1886.
When Capt. Wilder went to Bangor
the place was a mere village, where
some lumber was manufactured for
shipment to the West Indies, and
where trading was carried on with
the Tarratine Indians, agriculture
conducted by primitive methods sup
plying the majority of the people
with rather a scant subsistence. The
! friendship between Capt. Wilder and
the Websters was kept up through
correspondence, and in 1904 Daniel
and his brother Ezekial visited
in Bangor. At that time there were no
bridges across the Kenduskeag
| two parts, and local historians relate
that the Webster boys were obliged
to make their way over the stream on
a raft of logs.
Capt. Wilder bought what is known
as the Bruce farm. few miles out of
the city, on the banks of the kendus-
keag stream-a fine, large property, in
picturesque location, but covered for
the most part with a dense growth of
pine and other woods. He cleared
much of the farm, and built there a
good house, in which he spent the lat
ter years of his life and where his
children were born. This house was
burned, and in 1925 Capt Wilder's son
built the present mansion, which is a
fine example of early New England
homestead architecture, with wide
wainscoting, huge tireplaces, curiously
wrought stair rails and capacious
chimneys. In this house the pres
ent occupant has lived since infancy
and here hangs the painting of the

SPEED WAR.
Results From Fast Time Made
by New Rock Island Train.

Chicago. May 2o.-The fast time made
by the Rock Islands new train from
Omaha has started a speed war between
the western roads. A speed war which be-
gan last fall was settled in December by
an agreement between the executive Of
ficers OF the roads, that the fastest time
OF passenger trains between here and
Omaha should be 13 hours and 30 min.
utes and between Chicago and st. Paul
IL hours and So minutes.
The Rock Island train runs from here
to Omaha In 13 hours and makes the re-
turn trip in IL hours and 80 minutes. or
an hour less than the minimum time fixed
by the agreement of the highest officials
of the western lines.
Today the Burlington. Northwestern
and ST. Paul roads notified Chairman Nc
Leod OF the Western Passenger associa.
ton that they considered themselves ab.
solved from further maintenance of the
speed agreement because of it's violation
by the Rock Island road. The first road
TO retaliate against the Rock Island is
the Northwestern, which has added a
sleeping car to its mail train. This train
runs from Omaha to Chicago I'm II hours.
The Burlington road undoubtedly will re-
duce the time OF its trains between here
and Omaha.
