Butler Ames has been nominated for
Congress by the Republicans of the
Fifth Massachusetts District In ac-
cepting the nomination he said that
he is q Progressive, that heiis opposed
to Speaker Cannon, because 1 think
Congress should elect Speaker of

is exactly what Congress is going to
do. and it looks as If his name will
be Clark. 1t would be more like the
right thing. however. II the people

IIUYLER.

To millions of people in every part
of this country the name "Huyier' mas
meant nothing more than the
patronymic of a manufacturer of sweet
meats. TO thousands who knew the
man, John S. Huylor was fine type
of the large-hearted Christian gentle
man. or deeply religious nature, he
practiced equity and charity in his
business, and his employees now SIN
cerely rise up and call him blessed.
Here is the simple tribute of an un-
known snleswoman in one of his stores
published in the New York Times
He was never too busy to have a
cheerful GOOD morning" and klnd
and encouraging word for the humblest
OF hts people. 1t was his custom TO
give his girls Mt the beginning OF the
summer two or three shirtwalsts
(Which means lot to WorRlhb
girD, two weeks vacation with pay
every year, a turkey at thanksgiving
time. and at Christmas week
salary and a two pound box of candy.
He offered to all membership in the
Young Women's Christian Association
and the privilege of taking up music
or any other course they desired, free
of charge or expense to them.
These are only few OF the dseas
Of this godlike man. and there are no
more sincere mourners to-day than his
old employees.
Though he accumulated millions, ne
never lost his simplicity and democracy
of manner, he never surrounded him
self with cquipagcs and establishments.
Much of his time in later years he
spent in the mountains of North Caro-
lima. living plainly and cherishing as
his best friend a poor, but cody zap
fist preacher. His life long, Mr.. Huyler
practicod the principles of Christian
ity as completely IS mortal man may.
1t is said that he followed the scrip

Turning to the United States, 1T is to
be noted that the autographs OF Andre,
Nathan Hale and Thomas Lynch, Jr.
are the most highly priced. Three of
Hale's letters sold in 1892 for s1,s75,

him with abusing her. When all the

and escorted to the patrol wagon.
Just as he reached the street. though,
he was possessed with a determina>

~ did a lot of good running. No
sprinter could have overtaken him
