MIR. CLEvELAND's KINDNESS
People With Hard Luck Stories Re.
cefve Sympathy and Help.

October Century.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends have any
number of stories about his own kind
heartedness to both men and animals.
When fishing he limited the number
or fish he caught with q view to some
reasonable use, and he killed his fish
as soon as they were caught. When
lying I'll at Westland he greatly en-
joyed 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 I remember his worrying
for days about 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
chivalric descent upon the young hood
lums by reflection as to the crowd and
conspicuity that would have attended
the rescue.
The presidents family were amused
by the frequently grotesque begging
letters that poured in upon them. But
the numbers Of tirese applications and
the absurdity Of many of them did
not by any means cause the president
to disregard them all; he gave atten-
ton to some appeals, indeed, that
might be thought to have little war
rant. I remember the case of a
youth who had the nerve to ask the
president to assist him financially
through college. The young man had
no claim at all upon Mr.. Cleveland,
but here was something about the
letter that interested him, so, instead

lent neighbor some seven hundred

seafaring venture. nearly all Of which

many "old farms and other small
real estate 'investments' of his were
made simply for the purpose Of help
Ing out some unfortunate owner, some
times an entire stranger to the pur-
chaser. 1t would be easy to multiply
instances Of this sort, but will men
ton only one more case that I learn
ed about only after his death. A law
yer friend told me about it 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
or some five thousand dollars-in q
case where he thought the man had
been unjustly treated, though mis- BEN
eficiary was kind of man for whom
Mr.. Cleveland really could have little
sympathy. Surely, all through his
life Mr.. Cleveland was "fortifying his
own heart" with acts Of kindness. No
wonder he understood so well that
trait in Lincoln.

hundred years ago. and got along very well without it,
he said, and he did not why want it today
Gould he be regarded anything other than freak,
this judge might be made the subject Of interesting

the Birmingham Gazette Nescence is the state of not
Knowing, lack of knowledge ignorance The ques
ton has formed itself in many mind in this country It
really that there is position in which ignorance
is so easily hidden in that Of the bench.
What the English judge says of the telephone may
so be said of the telegraph, steam railroad steamship
and thousand other modern necessities. People got
along very well without them hundred years ago. But
the who gets along without them today is hundred
years behind the times
Any man in business who would ignore these modern
time-saving distance annhilatng devices would be
bankrupt. Any lawyer praccing before court without
awaiting himself of these advantages would win few
But the judge may be far behind the times as he
peases and be ignorant he chooses and still hold
his own.
The judges job is one in which other people, not him

ignorance remark be made about it without the
mourning of severe penalty.
Taken all in all, the safest place in the world for an
