The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-03-03

With all our boasted education, we
have yet to utilize those lessons Of
acknowledge and self-respect which
should inspire each young boy and girl
not to look forward with greedy eye to
the possibility Of becoming a great
statesman or leader of fashion or star,
but to search diligently for his or her
capability, and to develop it, what
ever It may be, in all earnestness,
faithfulness and loyalty.

Eugene Hale, Defeated for Reelection
to Congress by stonecutter Named Z
Murch, Started His Political Ca
reer Anew, and Succeeded.

Eugene Hale, who retired from the
United States senate last March, is to-
day the country's most famous man
from Maine. He had been in the SEN
ate since 1881, a longer service than
any other member now In the senate,
and he had been in public life and
public office practically continuously
since he came OF age in 1867. But, so
far as l know, It has never been told
in print how, after he had been a
county attorney for nine years, a
two years and a member of the lower
house of congress for five terms he
began his political career all over
again.
A few days after Mr.. Hale had
been sworn in as United States SEN
ator for the first time l met Thomas
B. Reed in a telegraph office in Wash
ington. He was in one OF his delight
full philosophical, contemplative moods
and he spoke Of the great enjoyment
he was then experiencing through his
discovery OF a French classic. After
while the conversation drifted
around to national politics. then to
Maine politics and then / reminded
Mr.. Reed that in 1879, when a stone.
cutter of the name of Murch had de-
feated the new senator from Maine
in his sixth candidacy for congress,
predictions were freely made that
that was the end of Eugene Hale po-
litically."
Well" drawled Mr.. Reed, THAT
might very well have been the end of
Eugene Hale If he hadn't begun all
over again. At any rate, I'm certain
that he wouldn't have got into the SEN
ate so soon If 1t hadn't been for the
Greenback craze that swept over
Maine and leveled him, among others.

Not long after this fellow Murch

'T have not been unmindful of the

Believed II Imperative That He Re-
main at His Post to Meet Pos
sibIe Attacks Against Founda-
tions of Commonwealth.

Melville w. Fuller of Chicago be-
came chief justice of the United
States in 1888, being at that time
fifty-five years of age. In 1908,
after he had served twenty years, and
when he was seyenty-f1ve years OF
age, some of the more intimate of his
personal friends ventured to hint to
him that 1t would be well. In view
of his advanced years, If he should
give some thought to retiring from
the bench. They intimated that he
would find abundant opportunity for
the cultivation of those refined and
studious tastes which he had not en-
tirely neglected while serving as chief
Justice. Some of these friends knew
that he was as Industrious as In the
early days of his career at the bar.
which was characterized by unusual
habits of industry. Sometimes, often,
his studies were prolonged until late
into the night.
To these somewhat vague but well
meant hints the chief justice at first
paid no attention. He turned them
aside by some kindly remark, some
times intimating. for example, that
he was still physically strong, and
sometimes in spirit of jest, asking
his friends If they detected any men
tai impairment in him.
Therefore, after time, the matter
was dropped. But about year after
the first suggestion Of this nature
was made to him, Chief Justice Full
ler's friend again, in a kindly and
sincere spirit which he fully appre-
ciated. ventured still more earnestly
to urge upon him that he owed it to
himself to his family and to his
friends that he take early advantage
of the opportunity for retirement
from the bench, which had been his
at any time since he had been sew
enty years of age. This intimation
was followed by others. and from
the same sources, and at last the
chief justice, perhaps conscious of
the fact that already intimations had
appeared in the public press telling
of his contemplated retirement at an
early day, was persuaded that the
time had come when he should take

Fish Stops Ship.

Il is not often that a FISH is large
enough to stop the progress OF
steamer, but an incident of this nature
occurred recently off the coast OF Aus
tralia, when huge sunfish became
wedged under the port propeller OF the
steamboat Fiona. The engine, as the
account states, was brought up all
standing and the steamer stopped to
investigate the cause of the trouble
1t was impossible to extricate the fish
at sea and the steamer, which for
tunately was provided with twin
screws, proceeded slowly on her way
with only one engine working. The
fish was removed at Port jackson and
found to weigh two tons fourteen hun-
dred weight. A fine specimen of the
sunfish, though infinitely smaller than
the one Just noticed, is shown in. the

After Cleveland had -etired from

of public men he met during those

son was. in fact, nothing but exces-

shyest of all the men in public life

course caused some self-conscious-

And l came to know what his kind

executive mansion perfectly fitted for
our comfortable reception in every
possible detail. This service Presi-
dent Harrison himself had done, or
it was done under his direct over
sight. And this experience confirmed
me in my earlier impression that Cen

was due alone to excessive shyness.
