One version of ''The coffee sack breeches'

mother. in these words:
You see, 1t was In the fall when Ben

old he committed his first fragrant act of
disobedience to his parents. He had begged
to go into the Union army, and had been
repeatedly refused. Bundling UP his scanty
wardrobe, he liked for the railway, and
slowed himself away in the corner of a
freight car bound for the front. He was
hailed back to the parental roof. but not
to the woodshed, for 1t was decided to al
low him to go.
Capt. Glenn was raising a company at
HillsborO at that time, and Ben Foraker
assisted in the recruiting. The company
formed part of the S9th Ohio and went i'm
mediately into active service. He was made
second lieutenant, then FIRST lieutenant.
Late In the summer of 1868 he was sent to
Ohio to recruit for his regiment. He was on
duty when the battle of Chlckamauga took
place and reached Chattanooga on the night
before the battle of Mission Ridge. Re
ceiving no orders he entered his regiment
as 1t was going into battle, instantly took
command of his company, led 1t to the
charge and was the first man of his regi-
ment over the Snemys works. He served

After the fall of Atlanta he was placed
on duty with the Signal Corps. In Sher-
mans march to the sea he was the
staff of Maj. Gen. SlOcum, commanding the
army of Georgia. He remained with Slo-
cum in the campaign to the sea and
through the Carolinas. He was mustered
out June 49, 1865 while serving as abide

The boat ran aground several times in the
darkness and barely escaped capsizing, but
took to the fleet the first news of Savan-
nah's capture.
Foraker was nineteen years old when
mustered out of the army, but his three
years of service in the south had aged
and matured him. He had an Unsuitable

he went to work on the farm and In the

pre March 3, 1909
Senator Foraker has changed very much
sin he came to Washington. Those who
know him best and who knew him in the
strenuous days in Ohio, realize that his ma
ture has mellowed. His strongest charac
terstic in the old days was partisanship.
With the memory of his army service still
fresh in the mind, and with his finger on the
pulse of the people of Ohio. among whom
partisan feeling still ran high, he was moved
frequently to harsh and bitter invective
against the opposition, and especially against
the south.
He was recognized as the type of the mil
liant spirit of the north that refused to for
get the dark days of 81 to 50. When Cieve-
land wanted to return the confederate bat
tie flags an element in the north almost had
a conniption fit and Gov. Foraker was
chiefeSt. Now the battle flags are being re-
turned and no man raises voice of protest,
but all bask in the sunshine of good feeling
that is waxing between the sections.
Senator Foraker is essentially politician.
He Is handler of men. can lay a political
mine and charge political breastwork with
the best of them. He is cordial in DISPOSE
ton, but quick to resent aggression. He
hits hard in battle and forgives readily after
victory. He Is a great fayOrite with news
paper men. and his long public service has
taught him how to deal with them Fora
ker won't lie to YOU Is an expression often
used ABOUT MIN. II ne cannot give the III
formation desired-and he will do it if 1t is
within the range of possibilities-he at least
will not miSlead a man. He has always
recognized the power of the press and at the
same time admitted the right of the press
to get the news.
Prominent in the Senate.
Senator Foraker has played a prominent
part in the Senate. He was active In the
preparation of the legislation leading to the
freeing of Cuba. He has been in charge of
all the legislation in the Senate relating to
Porto Rico and Hawaii during his term of
office, and has manifested deep interest in
the insular possessions of this government.
Through the practice of law and fortunate
Investments he has amaSSed moderate for
tune and lives in comfortable fashion in this
city where he owns his home. He is still
in the prime of life and in good health. He
Is an early riser, a hard worker and stu
dent and reader There is nothing to indi-
