ly. Where his convictions were en-
listed, he had no reservations, and he
used every means, every available
weapon, as I have shown. But he was
never self-seeking, never cheap, never
insincere. A leicester of all machine
politicians, he was statesman worthy
to be called the William Pitt of the
United States. The consistency Of
his career was a marvellous thing, be-
cause, though he changed in his be-
liefs, he was first to recognize the
changing conditions of our country.
He failed, and he is execrated. He
won, and he is forgot.

died of a disease of the lungs, yet
here again history is curiously mis-

which Nemesis took Of him for his
mistakes His last days were dream
like in their passing. His last speech
in the senate was read by one of his
friends, as Dr. Ward had advised him.
Some said afterwards that his illness
was that accused ssleeping sickness"

slaves. 1t were a strange thing had
John Calhoun indeed died of his er-
ror! At least he slept away.
1t was through John Calhoun, a

could see future for the west--that
we got all Of our vast northwest
realm. Within a few days after the
Palo Alto ball, a memorandum Of
agreement was signed between Min
lister Pakenham and Mr. Buchanan,
our secretary Of state. This was done
at the instance and by the aid of John
Calhoun. It was he-he and Helena
von RitZ-who brought about that
treaty which, on June Is, of the same
year. was signed, and gladly signed,
by the minister from Great Britain.
The latter had been fully enough i'm
pressed (such was the story by the
reports of the columns of our west
bound farmers, with rifles leaning at
their wagon seats and plows dashed to
the tail-gates. Calhoun himself never
ceased to regret that we could not

this he was thwarted by the impetu-

EpiIogue--Continued.

With the cessions from Mexico came
the great domain of California. Now,
look how strangely history sometimes
works out itself. Had there been any
suspicion of the discovery of gold in
California, neither Mexico nor our re-
public ever would have owned it!
England surely would have taken it..
The very year that my treaty eventu-
ally was ratified was that in which
gold was discovered in California!
But it was too late then for England
to interfere; too late then, also, for
Mexico to claim it. We got untold
millions of treasure there. Most of
those millions went to the. northern
states, into manufactures, into COM
meroe. The north owned that gold;

THE TEA PENALTY.

all his life and has always liked 1t

Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or SO, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him. some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste Of
1t. and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added 1t to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink it for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition Is so wonderfully inn
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and so back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep Is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made nc
other change In his diet
