Heart toHeart
Talks.
AN UNUSUAL MAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

This is about man who tried to do
right and was true to his convictions
incidentally he made and lost mil
lions.
A few days ago Ferdinand Schu-
macher of Canton, O., passed away.
He was the pioneer in the breakfast
food Industry in the United States.
Fifty-two years ago Mr.. Schumacher
came to Akron from Germany. He
began to prepare oats for the table by
shelllng, cutting and cooking them. In
side of twenty years he had four big
mills working night and day to supply
the demand for his cereals.
Other companies initiated Schuma-
cher, and the industry grew until IL
was absorbed by the trust
Mr. Schumacher did not understand
the ins and outs of "high finance" and
in 1896, after making an assignment,
he left the American Cereal company.
Though at one time millionaire, he
died with nothing. His friends say he
was manipulated out of his money.
Anyway, the man himself, and not
his millions, is the important consid-
Grafton.
Schumacher was one Of the original
{ Prohibitlonists Of the country, and,
what is more, he practiced what he
| believed
An instance:
When his immense cereal mills at
Akron burned in 1885, large quantities
Of grain in his elevators became wet
and sprouted. The breweries wanted
10 purchase the damaged grain for dis
tilling purposes. Mr.. Schumacher re-
fused to sell the grain, preferring to
J lose rather than have the stuff made
into intoxicants.
Quixotic?
Possibly. Bat it proves the stamp OF
the man. What he believed he believed
with all his might, and he stood ready
to suffer for the cause he had espoused.
Another instance:
| l.
a town company at Marsellles, ILL.,, In
which he invested nearly S1,00O,OOO.
He attempted to make the place
model town and a total abstinence COM
munlty. The venture failed.
Nevertheless the man did his best.
He showed his good intentions. He
carried his philanthropic desire to the
verge.
Here is the point in this mans ca
reer:
He made no pretenses. He put his
manhood. above his money. And he
stood four square to all the winds that
blow. You may not agree with his be-
Iliefs. You may call him crank. BUT
you must respect him as you must re-
spect every man who makes good In a
righteous cause.
Men like Ferdinand Schumacher are
scarcer than we could wish.

Mississippi would not let Jefferson
Davis rest on his plantation. He was
sent back to the United States senate
shortly after his retirement from the
cabinet. After serving four years or
his third fractional term as United
States senator be resigned and passed
forever out Of official connection with
the government Of the United States.
Davis was the Democratic leader OF
the Thirty-sixth congress. BE opposed
Stephen A. Douglas "squatter soV-
ereignty" proposition, but upheld the
John C. Calhoun doctrine Of the right
of the states to~secede.
Mississippi seeded on the 9th OF
January, 1861. Senator Davis was Of
Gcially notified of this fact on the
24th, and that day he announced his
resignation in a notable speech. Davis
was an orator of the Ciceronian school.
His addresses were literary produc-
tions. His arguments were expressed
in clear. concise, forceful English, de-
livered with the austere dignity Of an
old Roman. His tall, spare form
loomed in the senate like the figure OF
an ascetic who in fasting and solitude
had given deep consideration to the
questions at issue. In all things he
was a serious minded man, almost to
solemnity, and totally lacking in that
saving sense of humor which upheld
his executive antagonist at Washing
ton, the story telling Lincoln, in the
years Of sore trial. In his farewell
speech Davis defended the south in Its
declaration Of withdrawal from the
Union, denied the right Of coercion
and begged pardon Of all those whom
he might have offended during his
senatorial career.
With his military education and
service and his long experience as wal
secretary, Mr.. Davis naturally was
ambitious to lead the armies of the
south. Before reaching his home be
had been appointed commander In
chief of the army of Mississippi, but
on the 9th of February the Confed
crate congress at Montgomery elected
him provisional president of the new
government A year later he was
elected president Of the Confederate
States of America for the full consti
tutional term of six years. Shortly
after taking the executive helm Mr.

LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.

In the pauper's graveyard at Cofey-
vile, Kan, lies the dust Of man who
wrote the song, There's Light In the
Window For Thee"
Rev. Edmund Dunbar wrote other
popular songs, but the one mentioned
above is pathetically associated with
his erratic career in life.
Dunbar spent three years In the Min
nesota penitentiary for bigamy and
then became a wanderer on the face
of the earth, q vagabond. He turned
up at Coffeyville and applied at the
city Jail for food and lodging. He died
the same night. Letters on his body
identified him. He was buried in the
| potter's field, and his body was recent
ly taken back to the home Of his child
hood
Factory boy, sailor, student, minis
! ter, convict, tramp-that was the cres-
cendo and diminuendo in the theme OF
Edward Dunbar. a theme constituted
mostly of minor chords.
When he was lad working In fac
! tory late at night his mother always
kept a light in the window for him.
! When he went to sea on a long cruise
his mother still kept the light burning,
and when she died before he came
back her last words were these:
"Tell my boy will keep light burn
ing in heaven for him."
| Therefore the song.
On the stormy night Of his death In
q common calaboose did his spirit, as
! it beat its wings upon the battered
cage of a worn and weary body, see
light in the window? Maybe so. At
any rate, his story illustrates again
Stevensons immortal tale of "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde"
| Dunbar was at one time brilliant
minister, an evangelist Of unusual
power who always struck a sure note
Of pathos. But there was bad streak
In him somewhere. He was sent to
prison for promiscuous marrying and
| afterward went TO pieces, degenerating
into common tramp.
There are those who believe that
genius is alteration. Anyway, this Is
true of US all, genius or otherwise.
We are all doubles. We are both DR..
Jelyll and Mr.. Hyde.
In man are both brute and angel.
II is only the angel that sees the
light in the window.

HOME OF JEFFERSON DAVIS AT BEAUvoIR.

"Winnle" Davis, and by many intimate
friends. Miss Davis, in a long article
written shortly after her fathers death,
laid particular stress upon his innate
kindness Of heart. She told how when
she was a little girl her father re-
proved her for stepping on beetle.
SIS there not room in the world, lit
tie daughter, for you and that harm
less insect, too? he said.
The daughter also related that Mr..
Davis tenderness extended even to
trees and plants and that he had been
known to tend a bruised shrub long
and patiently not because its preserya-
ton enhanced the beauty Of the land
scape, but because be pitied it.
The wide range Of knowledge which
Mr.. Davis possessed was a source OF
constant wonder to those who had the
privilege Of hearing him talk. He
seemed to be interested In all lines OF
human endeavor. He loved poetry and
music, and he knew good poetry from
bad poetry and good music from bad
music His tastes were exalted lie
was in all essentials above vulgarity.
History. quite naturally, was one or
his favorite topics Of study. But he
did not confne himself to the study OF
mere human development. All life in
terested him, as has been indicated,
and it is said that once noted sports
man who believed himself to be an
authority on dogs visited Mr.. Davis.
The venerable man talked dog to his
visitor, thereby proving his unfailing
courtesy.
After about an hour" admitted the
dog fancier, "Mr. Davis had told me
more about dogs, their history, develop
ment, uses and racial characteristics
than I ever had imagined before"
In person Mr.. Davis always was
scrupulously neat 1t is related that
upon one occasion, when be was not
feeling well, dinner was announced at
his home, and Mrs. Davis urged him to
sit at the table In his dressing gown.
He declined, though no company" was
present
81 know no one for whom | have
more respect than yourself" he said to
Mrs. Davis. 81 hope | shall not take
cold, but l cannot sit at dinner with
you in my gown"

Judgment the likelihood Is that Jeffer-
son Davis will be regarded as one who
did nobly and ably what 1t was pos
sible and imperative for him to do In
a time that tried mems souls. For the
present, In connection with the cen
tenary of his birth, it is sufficient to set
forth some of the salient features Of
his career as man, as a soldier, as
statesman and as a scholar. 1t Is con-
ceded that his service to the United
States as soldier, as lawmaker and as
cabinet minister were highly credit
able. Mr.. Davis first went to congress
from Mississippi in 1915. John Quincy
Adams, the grand old man" of the
house. who had been president Of the
United States, listened attentively to
the first speech Of the young Mississip-
plan.
THAT young man," he said, lis bound
to make his mark"
Less than two years later the young
man made his mark as a soldier. He
had resigned his seat in the house to
enter the military service In the war
with Mexico, being a West Point
graduate He was elected colonel of the
First Mississippi volunteer rifemen.
In the fierce battle of Buena Vista,
though severely wounded, he saved
the day by an exploit which won the
warm praise Of the venerable Duke OF
Wellington and other noted military
men of Europe. That was the famous
V movement. Colonel Davis formed
his forces in the shape Of V open
toward an advancing host Of mounted
Mexican lancers much superior in num-
bers. When the lancers rode down In
TO the V, the American rifemen caught
them in a withering fire that moved
them down like weeds before a scythe.
A few years later Sir Colin Campbell,
at Inkerman, V shaped his forces and
repulsed a heavy body of Russians,
taking his cue from Colonel Davis OF
Buena Vista.
A dozen years before, when young
lieutenant in the army, Davis had
loved and won a daughter of Zachary
Taylor, his immediate commander at
the time. The marriage was practi-
cally an elopement Mrs. Davis died q
few weeks after the event her hus-
! band having resigned from the army
and retired to plantation life in Missis
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1908-05-30
4 a X

reer has known since the world began.
Mr.. Davis was born June 3, 1903, In
Christian county, now Todd county,
Ky, and died Dec 6, 1885, in New Or
leans. Eight months after his birth
not many miles away in the same state
was born Abraham Lincoln, who was
to play opposite" Jefferson Davis dur
ing the four years of civil war which
made both of them historical person
ages. Each in his respective sphere
served as a helpless target for the darts
of vituperation and abuse from those
who on the one side or the other held
that the war could have been handled
better. Practically all through his
service as the Confederate president
Mr.. Davis was charged with incompe-
tency by Richmond newspaper print
ed so close to his official chambers that
he could almost smell the ink. The
vice president of his own government,
Alexander II. Stephens, wrote a letter
declaring his belief that President
Davis aspired to become dictator and
in substance that his object, instead of
fighting for independence, was the sub
version Of human liberty.
AS seen through historical perspec-
tive City years from now, when all the
count is made up. when prejudice and
passion shall have given place to calmer
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1908-05-30

sippi. In 1915 Mr.. Davis remarked.
Until the battle of Buena Vista there
was an estrangement between Davis
and his first father-in-law. General
Taylor was in command Of the army
there. After the brilliant success of
the V. movement the old warrior
clasped Colonel Davis in his arms and
