drick instead Of Henry, for it was
while in the service of the Dutch East
india company that the English navi-
gator discovered the great river which
bears his name Moreover his own
country was so jealous of his prowess
as discoverer for another nation that
on his return TO the old world Hudson
was practically impressed into the
British service and was not permitted
to enjoy his full reward for the sue

Hudson perished miserably In the
service Of British interests. This was
when he made his disastrous voyage in
search of that long hidden northwest
passage which Mred SO many mariners
to defeat or doom and which was final
ly discovered by Captain Road Amund
sen nearly three centuries after IIud-
sons death. Hudson sailed into the
vast northern bay which, along with
the gloriously picturesque river, keeps
his name on the map of the world.
There was mutiny aboard, and the
mariners set the great navigator adrift
In small boat in the Icy waters with
his son and a few other adherents.
The fate of Hudson and his party is
still mystery of the frozen north.
For the people of the United States
Hudson's chief achievement wls the
discovery of the wonderful river at
the mouth of which has grown up the
second city Of the world in population
ana the first in commercial impor-
tance.
Hendrick Hudson sailed northward
around Sandy Hook and entered the
river in September 1909, in the Dutch
ship Half Moon. The explorer spent
a month studying the stream, going up
as far as the site Of the city of Albany.

v VERY early In his career stephen
a. Douglas became known
VI throughout the country as "the
Little Giant" The sooriquet was
fit one. Physically he was short and
slight-a little man. Mentally he was
big from his boyhood. His head was
large and correspondingly brainy. He
was a giant In intellect.
Douglas was duringly ambitious. His
goal was the presidency of the United
States. AS schoolboy in Vermont and
western New York the familiar para
doxical fact that "any American boy
can become president" seems to have
taken possession of him. He settled In
new state, Illinois, TO grow up with
the country and work himself into lead
ership. Though he failed of the pres
idency, he was In the whitest heat OF
the presidential linelight for years.
Perhaps no man IN American history
rose to national eminence so rapidly
as did Douglas. He almost won Il
nomination for congress at the age Of
twenty-five. Only three years later
court of Illinois, resigning this office
at the age of thirty to enter congress.
In the lower house Douglas became al
once national figure. Entering the
senate few years later. his fame
widened and deepened with each sue
ceeding year. Douglas was far more
prominent man In 1852 than was
Franklin Pierce who defeated him for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident and was elected. Douglas was
still under forty. -Four years later the
engrossing slavery problem had so
divided his party that again he failed
to win the nomination. In 1860 he
was nominated by the northern Sec
tion of the Democracy.
1t was his espousal of the doctrine
Of "squntter sovereignty" which con-
tended that every territory should be
permitted TO vote for itself on the
question Of slavery, that cost Douglas
the presidency.
Douglas died at the early age Of
forty eight. few months after the IL
auguratlon Of his greatest opponent
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is to his ever
lasting credit that he upheld Lincoln
in the effort topreserve the republic.
This fact may be taken as the moral
measure Of the faan. His last words
to his political adherents were:
There can be ,no neutrals In this
war"

BY these two speeches, which neryed

all capacities to which he was called

however, Patrick Henry perked up and
astonished the Virginia natives. He
studied law about a month and man
aged to obtain admission to the bar.
In surprisingly brief time he was a
leader in his profession.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Patrick Henry was his ability
as q decliner Of Office In his later
years. He declined a seat In the Unit

state; he declined the appointment TO
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court OF the United States; he declined
another eleetion 10 the gevernership OF
Virginia, though he did submit to elec-
ton 10 the house of delegates, but died
before taking his seat.

Trading in the market is dragging
along at snail's pace, although conf
dence in the speedy return of better and
livelier times remains unshaken. As a
basis of this confidence the publication
of some of the internal revenue returns
for the fiscal year 1907-08 just closed
may we'll serve. As expected, these dis
tricts show a decrease too, but sur
prisingly small one considering the gen.
eral effect of the severity of the late
panic. Surprisingly small one also in
comparison with the falling off of our
industry in the Metropolitan districts.
For the decrease in the Ninth Pennsyl-
vania district, the largest Individual ci-
gar manufacturing district in the coun-
try, was but IL per cent, and the First
Pennsylvania district only 8 per cent,
while the decrease in the Metropolitan
districts amounted to 25 per cent. The
suffering of the cigar industry from the
panic was therefore equally divided, but
the email percentages of the Pennsyl-
vania reduction are most encouraging
sign of the healthy maintenance OF the
cigar lndustry's prestige. In the course
of the next few months these small re-
duction percentages are sure to be wiped
out altogether. Yesterday the last OF
the Amsterdam ante vacation inscrip-
tions took place and with it, il might be
said, has the chief supply of Sumatra
stopped too for the year, as the few fall
Inscriptions rarely furnish perceptible
quantity for the American market. With
the purchases made yesterday it is esti-
| mated that only about 10000 bales have
been so far acquired for the American
market from the Sumatra crop offered
I! this year, which indicates that our Su-
| matra importations this year will be by
10000 bales less than they were last year
1t does not, therefore, look as if the Su
| matra market in this country will be
| over stocked even il our decreased cigar
output does not require the quantity o.

years-Journal.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The new tobacco crop is coming along
under about as favorable auspices as the
grower could wish for. The warm
weather is promoting tremendously
rapid growth which indicates that top
ping is only short time away. There
has been plenty of timely rains so far to
give an uninterrupted advancement,
while in some states, notably Ohio and
Pennsylvania, drouth has materially
hampered the growth. The next month,
however, will be the trying one for the
crop, for the absence of sufficient mois-
ture then, after topping, might effect
the size of the leaf and the relative value
of the crop. At the present. however,
the prospects could hardly be more en-
couraging, and that it may continue to
the harvest is the hope of everyone.
There is probably no class of business
men that are so easily frightened as
those who manage the insurance COM
panies of this country. Little incidents
often times strike them with alarm. An
instance coming to notice this week will
suffice to illustrate the contention.
Shortly after the publication of dis
patch sent out from Eau Claire last
week concerning suspicious fire which
destroyed tobacco warehouse and hint
ing that night riders might have had a
hand in it, a leading agency in the to-
bacco section received notification from
one of his companies reciting the cir
cumstance and saying the agency might,
If in it's judgment it thought best, can
eel all tobacco risks held by that COM
pany. Note what calamity it would be
to the tobacco trade If insurance could
not be had on this property in store!
Insurance is the basis of all loans secur-
ed by the trade, and without this pro-
lection business would be handicapped
beyond measure. The experience which
the insurance companies have been SUBJ
jected to in the South the past year puts
them in such panicky condition of
mind that the very mention of might
riders" strikes them with alarm. Let us
hcpe we will have nothing of it ir the
Wisconsin field.

The late heavy rains have been worth
a fortune to the tobacco growers of Lam
caster county. The plants were simply
standing still for the lack of moisture,
and a little more dry weather would
have shrigeled them up The generous
rains have changed all this, and the
plants have taken new lease of life.
Warm weather and plenty of rain are
what the tobacco needs for growing and
these it is getting to the fullest. The
little hail that has fallen in spots has
done no damage. for the plants we're too
small for that.

We have lived to see the back bone of

fields of tobacco that will not come up to
the standard, but with the favorable
