assist him financially through college. The
young man had no claim at all upon Mr..
Cleveland, but there was something about
the letter that interested him; so, instead
of throwing it into the waste paper basket,
he made careful inquiries and actually
granted the request.
l found out that, at Marion, he had lent
a neighbor some 500 for what seemed a
reasonable seafaring venture, nearly all Of
which sum was lost. I do not know how
many 'old farm and other small real es-
tate Investments" of his were made SIM
ply for the purpose OF helping out some
unfortunate owner. sometimes an entire
stranger to the purchaser. 1t would be
easy to multiply instances Of this sort, but
1 will mention only one more case hat I
learned about only after his death. A law
yer friend told me about II at the time of
the funeral-how, not a great while before,
Mr.. Cleveland sent for him and confessed
that he had made a fool OF himself again"
and wanted TO be helped out OF the scrape.
In other words, he had gone security for
a perfect stranger-to the extent OF some
$5,0OO-in a case where he thought the man
had heen u~nJustly treated. though his bene-
fioiary was a kind OF man for whom Mr..
Cleveland really could have little sympa-
thy. Surely, all through his life Mr.. Cleve-
land was terrifying his own heart with
acts Of kindness. No wonder he under
stood so well that trait in Lincoln.

Admiral schIey at 10.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
United States navy. retired, reached the
age of 70 years on the eth inst. Tokens
from friends arrived at his home III Wash
ington before he had risen and when he
came Down to breakfast he found many
messages of cheer and flowers in profusion.
The famous old naval officer is hale and
vigorous, both in mind and body, and is
living a life Of contentment. He said:
1T is not different from a birthday
thirty years ago. 1 do not feel as though
my strength is impaired in the least. I
feel just as able to work, and work hard.
as / did thirty years ago."
Because Of his experience in the northern
seas Admiral Schley is counted an au-
thority in polar explorations. He has taken
the position that both Cook and Peary
reached the pole. He stated that there is
not the slightest doubt in his mind that
Cook was the first man there.
The Cook-Peary controversy is some
similar TO the Sampson-Schley con-
troversy," was suggested.
1T was no controversy so far an 1 was
concerned" he replied quickly.
There was a parallel, however, between
the two. But the American people have
two great abiding principles, and 1 know,
because I have lived with them and
worked with them for seventy y-ears-they
believe in observation-disclosures and fair play.
The man who does not have these two
things gets knocked out every time. II
has been so IN all such controversies In
the past and 1t will be so this time"

1t goes without saying that the kaiser

Lehman.

astonished when the soldier replied, Il

What do you mean?" demanded the
kaiser, in an assumed temper.

Griscom went to Cuba as a captain on the

hostilities, declining promotion in the regu-
lar army, he was appointed by President
Mckinley secretary of legation at Con-

the good will and friendly interest of the

An eighteen months stay at Teheran as

Mr.. Cleveland's friends have any num-
Der OF stories about his own klndhearted-
ness to both men and animals. When
fishing, he limited the number OF fish
caught with a view to some reasonable
use. and he killed his fish as soon as they
were caught. When lying III at Westand,
he greatly enjoyed the singing Of the birds
In the early morning in the trees about
the place. and was anxious that the cats
should not be permitted to get at them.
Once when he was living in New York
l remember his worrying for days about
a cat that he saw some boys chasing; he
blamed himself for not getting out Of the
street car and defending the frightened
animal. He was doubtless restrained from
such hivalrie descent upon the young
hOodlums by reflection as to the crowd and
the oonspicuity that would have attended
the rescue.
