Memories Clustering Around the Seats
In City Hall Park, New York, Led
to Their Preservation by
the Off7ciais.

I never go to New York." said
Charles M. Faye, who for many years
has been managing editor OF the Chi
cago Daily News, without taking time
to visit City Hall park. and to see for
myself that the old benches are still
in their accustomed places, lining the
walks and encircling the old foun-
tain in front of the City Hail. l am
always delighted to find them there:
they occupy tender spot in my men,
ory. And. possibly, l am the only
man now living who can tell why 1t
Is that these benches have remained
for years undisturbed in the little plot
OF ground that lies about the seat
OF government Of the nations me-
tropoiis.
When was boy most of the busi-
ness life and incident of New York
city centered about City Hall park. At
a Broadway corner of Chambers
street. which bounds the park on the
north. A. T. Stewart. then Americas
greatest merchant prince, had his
store. When noontime came 1t was
the almost invariable custom Of Mr..
Stewart, the weather permitting, to
leave his store for one OF the benches
in the park. There he would have
brought large lunch basket, and
around him would gather in the course
OF the next few minutes a little group
of men prominent in the business, pro-
fessiona- or political life of the city
Then Mr.. Stewart would open the
lunch basket, and he and those whom
he had invited to take lunch with him
would spend perhaps an hour eating
leisurely and chatting and laughing
as though they had never a care in
the world. The last time l remember
seeing Mr.. Stewart lunching in the
park he had with him Fernando Wood,
then serving his third term as mayor
of New York; Daniel e. Sickles, then
a member of congress and destined to
play an important role at the battle
of Gettysburg, and Charles A Dana.
then managing editor of the New
York Tribune. l can see Mr.. Stewart
now, in the center of the little group,
his alert eyes peeping out from I'M
der the brim of his little low-crowned
hat, his little turned-up nose appar-
emily trying to make connection with
the brim.
"This was of antebellum happening
A little later, when the Civil war
broke out, recruiting station was
opened in the lower end of the park.
From that end, too, companies and
regiments of soldiers started to the
front. and on the benches round about

the soldiers were accustomed to re-
ceive the members of their families
and their friends for the last good

enlistment, awaiting the coming of
my mother and myself. There he bade

learned one day that 1t was the inten-
tion OF one Of the city officials to have
these benches, around which clustered
SO many historic and romantic asso-
Citations, removed from the park. 1t
seemed to me that what he purposed
doing was almost in the nature of a
sacrilege, and determined to do what
could to prevent it. l called upon
Mr.. Dana. then editor of the New
York Sun. whose editorial windows
overlooked the park. 1 asked him If
he recalled the time when he and
Mr.. Stewart and others made those
benches their noontime luncheon
headquarters. l reminded him of the
many pathetic. the many final part.
ings that had taken place on those
benches during the war days. Then
I told him Of the plan that was on foot
for the removal of the benches, and
I closed by stating that it seemed to
me that, for associations sake, the

Knott a Disappointed Man

He was engaged in studiously reading
small volume, Latin classic, and
the contrast between the popular con-
ception of him and my horse-car view
of him was striking Yet / venture to
say that in that car l had a good
glimpse at the real Proctor Knott
We fell into pleasant conversation.
Il suppose. Mr.. Knott" l remarked.
that there is no member of the lower
house of congress whose name is bet
ter known than your own"
He smiled and shook his head sad
iy. What is reputation of that kind
worth?" he asked. Il sometimes see
people come into the gallery; | am
pointed Que by some one who is with
these strangers, and / see them look
ing at me intently. / know what they
are saying to one another. They are
saying, That is Proctor Knott, who
made the Duluth speech They don't
give a thought to my serious work In
congress; | am not known an iota by
it; l am simply. Proctor Knott, who
made the Duluth Speech and will be
to the day of my death"
II take it, then, Mr.. Knott" I ven
tured to say, that yon believe a gift
of humorous expression and the use
OF it by a man in public life constitute
dgsripent to his career?'
Sshs Tit qT6asss sss 'sssccsssfui men in public
hfe," Mr.. Knott replied, ARE those
who are either intensely serious or
who maintain that appearance. l am
a very serious man. but l sometimes
nNl OF hSv,e h- 1H0 it
were, and have been told that that is
the essence of humor-forced like
nesses between things that are unlike.
This is my weakness. and because
once made a humorous speech that
attracted attention have never there
after been taken seriously. Except
in my committee room, l am without
much influence in congress.
IF / were going to give any advice
to a young man who desired to make
a public career" Mr.. Knott continued.
II should say to him: Never make a
humorous speech. Cultivate wit. II
you have a gift for 1t. That helps.
Cultivate irony. That helps. You
may tell funny story to illustrate
a point-but always be serious in your
speech. Shun humor as you would
the plague. Bear always in mind that
IL you make successful humorous
speech you never will be taken seri-
ously thereafter
1t was plain that Proctor Knott
looked upon the Duluth speech as the
fatal mistake of his public career, al
though it gave him national reputa-
ton, something that he might other
wise not have attained

Macdonald added his slip for five

and in silence they faced their cards
on the table. while a general tiptoe-

among the onlookers. Daylight
showed four queens and an ace; Mac
Donald four jacks and an ace, and
kearns four kings and a trey. Kearns
reached forward with an encircling
movement of his arm and drew the
pot in to him, his arm shaking as be
did so. Daylight picked the ace from

Incident While He Was Trustee Of the

Measuring the Ability
of Men.

of the famous life insurance investiga-

Communications upon which might
be based the selection of men to fill
sach vacancies as might occur in the
society's board Of directors. The OBJ
ject of this was to secure for the pol
icyholders representation in the direc-
ton of the affairs of the society. Every
recommendation that was made to the
trustees Mr.. Cleveland personally care

task, but he was as faithful in the per-
Torrance of it as he had been in his
oversight of every detail which came
to his attention when he was presi-
dent of the United States and which
called for official action or judgment
on his part.
In response to the trustees request
for recommendations to fill certain
