Great-Creat-G Great Grandson of Benjamin Franklin

very large mulberry with several other gentlemen
and two or three ladies, There was no curiosity
in Philadelphia which | felt SO anxious to see as
this great man. But who stood first in the
literary world, and had spent so many years in
the courts OF Kings, l conceived, would not be
of very easy access, and must certainly have much
of the air and grandeur of majesty about him.
Common folks must expect to gaze at him at
distance and answer such questions as he might
choose to ask. But how were my ideas changed
when l saw a short, fat old man, in a plain
Quaker dress, bald pate and short white locks,
sitting without his hat under a tree, who rose
from his chair, took by the hand, expressed
his joy to see me, and begged me to seat myself
close to him. The tea-table was spread
under the tree and Mrs. Bache, who is the only
daughter of the doctor and lives with him, served
it out to the company. She had three of her chill
dren about her. over whom she seemed to have no
kind of command, but who appeared to be excess
lively fond of their grandpaPa."
1t is Mrs Bache (Say Franklin) who in the picture
is shown pouring out the tea. She and her husband,
with their SIX children, lived with Doctor Franklin,
whose wife had been dead for some years. After
many years of exile abroad he enjoyed his home life
greatly Writing to a friend at that time, he said:
The companions of my youth are almost all
departed but | find an agreeable society among
business enough to preserve me from ennul,
and private amusement besides in converse

whispering: You know that the soul is inn
mortal; why, then, should you be such niggard

before you?' So being easily convinced, and
like other reasonable creatures, satisfied with
d small reason, when it IS in favor of doing what

to the already extensive list OF his
inventions, contriving among other
things a most curious chair which,
when desired, could be converted in
to a stepladder for the purpose of
reaching the. higher shelves in a Ii
brary. AS far as known, only one
of these chairs was ever actually
constructed for his own particular
use, and this is owned at present
by the Philosophical Society of
Philadelphia.
Benjamin Franklin, if he was
alive to-day, would be called a
Unitarian. Like his friend Thomas
Paine, he was, while free-thinker,
exceedingly religious, having firm
faith in an everything Provi-
dence and in the immortality
of the soul. These beliefs he
has put on record in many
of his writings. During the last
years of his life, in Philadelphia,
he went regularly to Christ
Church, where Washington also
worshiped when as President he
came to the Quaker City to live,

7 VERY effort is to be made to render the cele-
r bration of the bicentenary of the birth of
- Benjamin Franklin, in Philadelphia next
month"; an affair of sufficient Importance to draw
the attention of the world Delegations of sCien-
tifc societies from all of the civilized countries
will attend; President Roosevelt is expected to be
present and to deliver an address at banquet
given in honor of the foreign guests and three days
are to be devoted to ceremonies for the carrying
out of which the Legislature of Pennsylvania has
appropriated twenty thousand dollars.
1t is greatly regretted that the house on Market
St in which Franklin spent the last years of his life
covering the period between his final return from
the court of France and his death, should have
been preserved as historical relic. 1t stood on
patch of land that ran nearly through to Chestnut
St between Second and Third, and in front of 1t
was q large garden, with gravel walks and old
fashioned hower-beds. There was also unusually
large rnulberry-tree, under which the sage, who
during his long residence in France had acquired
the habit of sitting much out of DOORS loved to re-
pose himself in an easv-chair summer afternoons,
while receiving the many people who came TO see
him and to listen to his quaint and interesting
talk.
1t happens fortunately, that this scene, in which
one beholds the philosopher during his last days
surrounded by his family and resting from the
labors of a long and somewhat stormy HE, has been
preserved in a remarkable way by the pen and
brush of contemporaries. At that period every
stranger of distinction who visited Philadelphia
went as matter of course to see Doctor Franklin,
and one SUCH Frenchnan, who must have been
a nainter of mark transferred to canvas his I'M
preston of the scene beneath the mulberry-tree
with so much faithfulness and Vlvldness that,
having looked upon it. one feels If he himself had
babeld that little household on a summers after

begin another game"
Much as he was accustomed to preach of economy
and the advantages of saving, Franklin was an
extremely. generous man. During these last years
of his life he INDUCED a lavish hospitality, and
frequently as many twenty five or thirty people
were gathered about his table He was accustomed
to entertain every distinguished stranger who
to Philadelphia, being himself, as Manasseh Cutler
implies. of the principal sights of the city.
Though abStemiOus in both eating and drinking
he keenly enjoyed a little conviviality and on
occasions would even contribute a song Two or
three drinking songs composed by him are still
tant as well versi6ed recipe for the manufacture
of punch. Punch in those days meant rum punch,
and the good doctor was not unskilled in brewing
it. The receptacle used by him for the purpose
was curiosity in its way-a small cask of china
held horizontally in a wooden frame. The in
gradients were introduced at the bung-hole top,
and spgot served for drawing the beverage into
tumblers
1t was at this period that Franklin visited
by Sir Samuel Romily, who, in describing the in
cident, wrote: "Of all the celebrated persons
whom in my life | have CHANGED to see, Doctor
Franklin, both from his appearance and his con-
versation seemed to be the most remarkable. His
venerable, patrarchal appearance, the simplicity
of his and language and the novelty OF his
observations impressed me with opinion of him
as one of the most extraordinary men that ever
existed"
At that period the philosophers health had
failed him to a considerable extent. He suffered
from govt and the stone which, with complications,
eventually carried him off. But he was always
exceedingly cheerful even when suffering, and
of his friends has recorded full of anecdotes and
learning" Even at this time in his life he added

quaint old Market-st. dwelling. To-
dav nobody knows who the painter
was, and the picture itself seems to
have disappeared; but luckily an
engraving was made from 1t, OF
which two copies are still eH-

1t is obvious that the painter,
whoever he was, must have Wis
tied the place himself. The pic

of verify, while corresponding
closely in its details to the de-
scriptions of that scene given IN
writing by more than one OF the
philosophers contemporaries. For
example, Manasseh Cutler, who
went to see the doctor at the
Market-st. house in G787, says:

Mr.. Lobdell glanced at the first page

Huynminx Birds

When first crawled in among the
pushes close to the nest the little moth
er darted at me and poised a foot from
my nose, as If to stare me out Of coun-
tenance. She looked me all over from
head to foot twice. Then she seemed
convinced that l was harmless.
She whirled and sat on the nest
edge. The paintings opened wide their
hungry mouths. She spread her tail

the nest side. She craned her neck and
drew her dagger-like bill straight up
above the nest. She plunged it down
the baby's throat to the hilt and start
ed series OF gestures that seemed
fashioned to puncture him to the toes.
Then she stabbed the other baby until
1T made me shudder. 1t looked like the
murder of the infants. But they were
not mangled and bloody. They were
getting a square meal after the usual
humming bird method of regurgitation.
They ran out their slender tongues
to lick the honey from their bills. How
they liked 1t! Then she settled down
and ruffied up her breast feathers to
let her babies cuddle close to her
naked bosom Occasionally she reach

WITNESSED UNIQUE DUEL.
Three Bears and a Colony of Rattle
snakes Engaged in Fight.

Three Bears and a Colony of Rattle
snakes Engaged in Fight.
Frederick linn and Mortimer Gray,
while fishing for trout in Panther run,
saw unique duel between a mother
bear and two cubs and colony OF rat
tlesnakes, according to the Philadel-
phia Record
There is prevalence belief that rat
tiers and bears often hibernate togeth-
er, but this occurrence shows that
there are times, at least, when there is
deadly enmity between the two. The
fishermen were attracted to the spot
by the squealing Of the bear cubs, and
they left the stream in the hope that
they might be able to capture the
youngsters But the sight they beheld
was sufficient to destroy all ambition
to capture bears I'm such a place.
The place Of battle was not more
than a rod from the creek, on the ris-
ing slope and on the sunny side. A
series Of shelving rocks ended in
large surface rock almost as level as
table and perhaps twenty feet in area.
OF the edge of this grew an oak tree
Of good size, but hollow Of trunk about
eighteen feet up.
One of the cub bears had sought
refuge up on the first limb Of this tree,
while the second youngster was hang
ing to the trunk, not more than yard
below, like a bat on a limb-head
downward. Both the cubs were squeal-
ing for dear life, and the spectators
soon saw what the matter was, so far
as they were concerned. The hollow
oak was bee tree and the bees by
the hundreds had swarmed upon and
about the young bears and were sting
ing their paws, noses and ears and ev-
cry other spot that the fur failed to
make impregnable.
| The fishermen soon observed that
there was more doing than the serio-
comic act of the bee tree. Near the
| foot Of the tree the mother bear was
doing a dance for her life, and the
unmistakable sounds of the whirring
Of snakes rattles told the tragic tale
TIE bears, in their path to the bee
tree, had got into a colony of rattlers
| that were summing themselves on the
rock shelf and the reptiles had COM
bined to do battle. But the old bear
was making short shrift of the venom

much like dog-tooth and claw-and

as rapidly as they could scamper down
off the tree.
linn and Gray made an Investigation
of the scene of the battle and found
fourteen dead rattlesnakes, their bod
les bitten and torn. They also killed
seven others that in little while VEN
tured out Of their retreat. One of the
rattlers was almost five feet long and
had a string Of sixteen rattles.
The following day the men returned
with two large milk cans and made a
raid on the bee tree, smoking the bees
to death and confiscating the honey
Whey they had gathered the whole lot
they had small bucketful more than
would go in the milk cans.

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wape,lo, Iowa, Sept. 11.-(Special.)
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa county is that
Of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs.
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured her. Speaking Of her
cure, Mrs. Hart says:
''Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after / was in bed for eight months,
and know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago, and / have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time started taking them l
was able to make my garden. Nobody
can know how thankful 1 am to be
cured or how much l feel / owe to
Dodd's Kidney Pills."
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nine-tenths Of the
suffering the human family is heir to
will disappear.
