lived In southern Virginia at about the
time Of the close of the Revolutionary
war. His beard was nine and half
feet long and correspondlngly thick

his arms TO their full length, and still

Washed His Mothers Dishes.
At the pleasant little Hoosier city
Of Salem John Hay was born in 1888
His father was a doctor in moderate
circumstances, so that the boy was
protected from the rough corners OF
poverty that have knocked greatness
into-or out of-so many of our public
men. While the future statesman was
very young The Hays moved to Illinois,
and 1t was In the common schools OF
that state that he began his educat ton.
John was prtss Sunday school schol-
ar and always took the prizes for
memorizing verses This created envy
in the breasts Of the other boys, and
they decided to humiliate the Sunday
school teachers pet. Hearing that he
washed dishes for his mother and that
he wore large sleeved apron in doing
SO, they decided to take around some
girls Of whom John was rather fond
and surprise him in the dish washing
operation. He promptly appeared with
a large pan full OF dirty water in his
hands and u promptly threw the con-
tents over his tormenters After that
he was permitted to wash his mothers
dishes in peace.
The education was pursued at an
academy in Springfield and finished at
Brown university at the age OF twenty.
Mr.. Hay afterward took a degree Of
riouS institutions all over the country.

caustic wit was In evidence, and the
other boys learned to leave him alone
on his off days, which fortunately We're
not frequent. He had a prodigious
memory, a fact of which he was not
proud. He was proud of his essays
however, and memorized nearly all of
them. He wrote verse then, but not OF
the Jim Bludso" variety. That came
later.
Returning to Springfield, young Hay
studied law and was admitted to the

Giant of Giants In Statecraft.
To say that man Is the greatest Of
such list Is to make him giant Of
giants.
Yet, measured by actual accomplish
ments in world politics, the late John
Hay measures with any of them, and
1t Is perhaps not extravagant praise to
say that he goes to the head of the list.
Certain 1t Is that he made the United
States the diplomatic center Of the
world, that he maintained the integrity
Of China, that he opened the diplomatic
door for the building of the isthmian
canal, that he united the Anglo-Saxon
world and made America its head, and
that he introduced to all nations new
and more direct sort OF diplomacy.
Even a greater distinction probably
belongs to him, though this is not gen
orally known, as the moves made in
international politics are mostly in the
dark. Then, too, 1t is hard to say what
would or would not have happened II
certain steps had not been taken. Yet
despite the veil of secrecy enough is
known to have created the general be-
lief that John Hay prevented general
European war from growing out of the
conflict in the far east.
Leading up to this eliminating role
on the stage of statecraft were many
minor positions In the diplomatic serv
Ice. These began shortly after the civ
II war, and the first period ended in
1870. But in these few years three i'm
portant places were held secretary OF
legation at Paris, secretary of legation
and charge d'affaires at Vienna and
secretary of legation at Madrid. The
second period began in 1879, when Hay
was made first assistant secretary OF
state, which place was held until a
change Of administration in 1881. In
that year the young diplomat held the
important and honorable position OF
president of the international sanitary
conference. The third period began
IN 1897, when one of the first acts OF
President Mckinley was to nominate
Mr. Hay as ambassador TO Great Brit
ain, from which position he was called
little over year later TO go to the
head OF the state department, where ht
remained till his death, few days
ago. While at London such a com
paratively short time, Hay remains
both In the American and English
public mind as the most conspicuous
of the long list of brilliant men who
have held the position OF Ambassador
at the court of St. James.
