state and of the United States courts, a
United States senator, a major general
and the president Of this nation for eight
years. His career was indeed a strange
and eventful one.
II was his military career more than
anything else, that won him the presi-
dency. although militarism was not his
profession. He was not a trained sol
der. His crowning laurels were won
during the war Of 1912 at the battle OF
New Orleans, where he gained a signal
victory over the British, completely
routing their superior forces and bring
ing the war to a close. Il IS the victory
he gained at New Orleans on the Sth Of
January. 1915, that Is the enduring basis
for the honors paid him with each re-
curing anniversary Of that day. II is
the light in his life Of patriotism that
makes him the idol Of his party.
AS shadows in the life Of Jackson his
duels and personal encounters stand
forth prominently At the time he was
Judge of the supreme court Of Tennessee
he had a political quarrel on the street
with Gov. Sewer Both men drew their
pistols and fired at each other. In their
excitement their bullets missed their
marks. and before they could renew
their fire friends separated them. On
another occasion, for an insult offered.
he was about TO horsewhip Col Benton
a prominent man Of Nashville. The son
OF the latter interfered and sent a pistol
bullet crashing through Jackson's arm.
In another quarrel, at horse race,
Jackson beat a young man named Swami
with a club. This last difficulty led to
the duel with Charles Dickinson. an
able and prominent lawyer Of Nashville.
who had espoused the cause Of young
Swami and denounced Jackson for his
actions.
The two men. with their seconds. met
the next day in a grove not far from
Nashville. The parties we're 20 stand
facing each other, "a feet apart with pis-
tolls down. At the word fire, they were
to discharge their pistols as soon as they
pleased. Dickinson got the first fire and
sent ball crashing through Jackson's

Dickinson reeled and fell, the ball hav-
ing passed through his body just above
the hip. from the effects Of which he died
a few hours afterward. The affair
greatly injured Jackson's popularity
for a time. for Dickinson was a favorits
throughout Tennessee.
Two Of these personal alterations Of
Jackson were caused in whole or in part
by disparaging words concerning HE
wife. This was the case In his difficulty
with Dickinson. His wife had formerly
been Mrs. Robards Her husband mis-
treated her, and they separated. he
went to Virginia and there applied for a
divorce. The news came 10 Nashville
that the divorce had been granted. Be
lieving It to be true, Gen Jackson and
Mrs. Robards were married. Two years
afterwards the legal papers came an
nouncing that the divorce had just been
granted In the courts. proceedings, for
some reason, having been delayed.
Thus for two years Jackson and Mrs.
Robards had been illegally married. To
remedy the defect. a new license was OBJ
tanned and the marriage ceremony was
performed over again. Their married
life was a happy one. He was ever a de-
voted husband, she a loving wife. He
was always sensitive when this first
marriage ceremony was questioned. In

presence on its sanctity without the fear

After the death Of his wife Gen Jack

was not fulfilled until after he had re-
tired from the presidency and gone to his
old home, The Hermitage" IN Tennes-

and. at the age Of three score and 10, he
became a Christian.
In the winter Of 1912 there was a
series Of religious meetings held not

AT HEIGHT OF HER GLORY
Melba, Who Will Sing Here, Achieved
Greatest Success the Past Year.

Within the past year Melba has
reached the climax of her artistic glory.
In view of her past successes turnout
Europe and America this is saying
much, but there is proof that it is true.
During her London season last summer
she developed such surprising bril-
Hancies in her operatic endeavors that
the music lovers assembled in London
from all parts Of Europe and paid her
astounding honors. For singing in
private at two affairs in the highest life
in London, she received the unheard-of
sum Of 1000 guineas, or $4,000.
Melba is hard and~willing worker
and is so much soughtsafter for public
performances that she has but little
time left for home life. After her suc-
cess in London she enjoyed brief rest
at her home in Paris and then started
on her present American tour. She
will hot have another respite until
season in London next summer
On the present tour Melba will be
surrounded by a most admirable COM
pany of renowned artists who will APP
pear with her at the Lyceum. Her as
sociates are Ellison Van Hosse, whose
tenor voice has thrilled two continents;
| Charles Gilbert, the great French barry
tone; Signorina Ada Sassoli, an Italian
girl Of scarcely 16, whom Melba heard
at Milan, marveled over, and then chose
from all the harpists of the world to ac-
company her on her tour; Mr.. North,
who stands second to none as master
Of the flute; and Miss Llewella Davies,
an English girl who has been with
Melba on many Of her trips as the ac-
companist for her greatest songs.
