Unusual Public Career.
The man honored by the memorial, Ed
win McMasters Stanton, had one of the
most unusual public careers of any man
in the history of the country. He was
appointed to the cabinets Of three Presi-
dents--Buchanan. Lincoln and Johnson
and was appointed by fourth-Grant-
to the position of associate justice of the
Supreme Court
Born at Steubenville. of Quaker parent
age. December -. 1919, he was educated
at Kenyon College, where he later stud
led law, and was admitted to the bar
in 1886, beginning practice at CadfZ, Ohio,
where he became prosecuting attorney
year later. He then practiced in Steuben
Vile and in Pittsburgh. and in 1856
moved to Washington. where he took
up pleading before the United States SUI
preme Court
He was appointed Attorney General by
President Buchanan at the time of the
reorganization of Buchanan's cabinet in
1860, succeeding jeremiah Black. Origi-
nally a Jacksonian democrat, he became
a stanch anti-slavery advocate. In 1861,
upon the election of President Lincoln
he retired with the rest of the cabinet
but was afterward presented by Lincoln
with the portfolio of War Secretary.
Famous Fight With johnson.
After the assassination of President
Lincoln he rendered his resignation, but
was induced by President Andrew John
son to remain in the cabinet. During the
famous breach between the President and
Congress he took sides against the Presi-
dent. who then called for his resigna-
ton August ;. 1867. He refused to
withdraw, saying it would interfere with
the execution of the reconstruction acts,

How the Mole Lives

Moles feed entirely IN earthwormS,
~burrowing grubs, and on insects, and
have a remarkable appetite, together
with love, passion and hatred in en-
ergy and voracity.
They are built particularly for their
business-fore limbs and shoulders
remarkably strong, full OF muscle, and
have a hand, spade-like, supplied
with claws. making a capital digging
machine.
In observing a mole when put on
the ground after being caught it will
Immediately plunge its sharp snout in
the earth and give wv or three fear
full strikes Of fore-paws enough to
bury most Of his body-the hind feet
give q comical kick in the air and
the mole gets out OF sight with a
startling quickness and find him if
Q can.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1911-12-26

The mole-hills which we see are
not homes but composed Of material
which is worked over in forming tenn
porary passages looking after pray.
A moie's only true home, fortress
or kingdom, is located at a distance
from the hunting-grounds with which
communication is kept up.
A mole will consume the weight of
its body in a remarkably short time.
Snails and slugs it seizes from be-
hind before they know a mole is af-
ter them. Another wonderful thing
is how soon a mole Will Succurnb
without food, as a twelve hours fast
will result in death for the little ami
NAL and ali Of it's family.
Therefore, the poor mole has to
work hard most of its life for a living,
and especially is this true in the Win
ter.
