Grandfather's Stories

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I think the subject you have given
US this week is fine.
OF all the heroes in all American
wars l think l like George Washing
ton best. But there were some other
brave men who helped to obtain our
freedom, among these Paul Revere and
Lafayette.
The one I like second best is Abra-
ham Lincoln. because he freed the
slaves. General Grant and General
Sherman were also brave men. My
grandfather was soldier and marched
under General Sherman. like to hear
him tell about the war.
This is the second time i have writ
ten you. I enjoy reading The Herald
Junior very much.

Brave Young Americans

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Andrew Jackson was born in 1877,
soon after the death of his father. His
mother, though not destitute, was poor.
Andrew and his brothers had very little
schooling, and like other backwoods
boys went to school in little log cabin.
The home of the family was in the
line of the British army. Andrew and
his brother Robert took part in fight
ing the enemy.
Once when Andrew was thirteen he
was captured by the enemy. The
troops had been marching in the mud
and when they stopped to camp An

Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The subject that we have to
write about is very good. l think
so because it revives the MEM
DRY of James Biddle Eustis. He was
born in August, 1884, in New Orleans,
Louisiana, and died in Sept. 3, 1899.
He was a soldier and a stateman.
He descended from a creole family,
received a good education and gradu-
ated at Harvard law school in 1854
Subsequently he practiced law in New
Orleans, but at the outbreak of the
civil war entered. the Confederate
service as Judge advocate of the staff
of General Johnston in 1862, with whom
he remained until the war closed.
Soon after he resumed the law prac-
tice and was elected to the lower house
of the Louisiana legislature in 1872.
The Democrats elected him to the
United States senate in 1876 but he re-
signed three years later to accept the
chair of civil law in the University of
Louisiana and was elected to the SEN
ate, where he served from 1885 to 1891.
President Cleveland appointed him
ambassador to France in 1898, in which
capacity he served with dignity and
activity for four years. When he was
living in Paris he translated Guyots

Three Famous Presidents

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My favorite heroes of American war;
I like George Washington because he
was one of Americas ablest command
ers in the Revolutionary war. He won
a great many battles. Washington and
French fleets surrounded General Corn
wallis, one of England's best COM
manders at yorktown. The French
fleet shut him off by sea. while Wash
ington and his army shut him off by
land and CORVALLIS was compelled
to surrender. This ended the Revolu-
tionary war.

 Literary Memorial.

The early home of the late Thomas Bailey Aldrich at Portsmouth, N. H.. known as "Rivermouth" in the au- thor's books. has just been dedicated as a memorial for the noted writer. It was not long after the death of MT. Aldrich that the mayor of Portsmouth, Wallace Hackett. started an agitation which soon resulted in the formation of the Thomas Bailey Aldrich Me morial association, and this associa- tipn had soon raised the necessary funds to purchase the old house in Portsmouth. which belonged to kr. Aldrich's grandfather. Thomas Dar- ling Bailey, in which the poet spent his boyhood, and which is endeared to thousands of readers of The Story of a Bad Boy" as the ''Nutter House. A plain fireproof brick building was erected in the rear. in which Mrs. Aid rich and Talbot Aldrich. the poets surviving son. have deposited his al most priceless collection of first edi- tons, valuable manuscripts and auto graphs. with other relics of Aldrich. The old Nutter house, which had be- come a tenement house, was cleared of its tenants, and the work of restor- ing it to its original condition. which required many weeks of hard, work, was begun. Mrs. Aldrich and her son undertook to restore the interior as nearly as possible to its old-time ap- pearance. which has become familiar by the word pictures of the poet in his books.
 The present representatives of the Bailey family replaced fin the house most of its original furnishings, and the result has been to give the Ameri- can people literary memorial of his toric interest and one rich in personal associations.
 The "Nutter House" is of severe colonial type. with small paned win dows and huge brass knocker on the front door, which Is also protected by big storm door of green blinds simi- lar to those at the windows
