President Timothy Dwight Of Yale Ad-

School at LItchfield.

John G. Calhoun was graduated
from Yale college in 1904 when that
seat of learning was under the admin
istration Of the first President Tim
othy Dwight After his graduation
Calhoun became a student In the first
law school established IN this country,
at Litchfeld, Conn, within q stones
throw of the birthplace of Henry
Ward Beecher. He received diploma
from this pioneer school in 1907. was
admitted to the bar of Connecticut on
the credit of that diploma, and then
went Immediately to his native part
OF South Carolina and set himself up
in the practice Of law. At the time
Calhoun studied law 1t was the al
most universal practice for young men
who aspired to be lawyers to prepare
for admission to the bar by reading IN
the ONCE of a lawyer. So far as |
know, no biographer OF Calhoun tells
why the great South Carolinian broke
away from this custom of long stand
ing.
Briefly. he WAS persuaded to do so
by none other than a Connecticut
Yankee; and my authority for this
statement Is Rev Jonathan Brace,
who for many years was a promi-
nent Congregational clergyman In
Connecticut. and who. when Calhoun
was beginning to gain great promi-
nence. secured his information from
the family of President Dwight OF
Yale.
I'm his early manhood Calhoun was
a stanch Presbyterian, and so he
should have gone to Princeton IN
stead OF Yale college," said Mr..
Brace But certain intimate family
associations with some of the Yale
instructors induced Calhoun to enter
Yale. where he speedily became a
great favorite with President Dwight.
He entered the junior class. In his
senior year he had many conferences
with President Dwight. and there was
one based upon their different views
as to the true source Of political pow

er which very greatly impressed Prest-
dent Dwight. 1t was an argument that
lasted all evening. and when 1t was
over President Dwight ventured to
say to Calhoun that his gift for pro-
found reasoning. his ability to per-
suade those who heard him argue that
his argument was sound, and his
knowledge of historic as well as OF
contemporary government and poll

great national prominence. and. per-
haps might bring him to the presi-
dency.
"Ot course, this encomium greatly
pleased Calhoun, and 1t may have
done something to persuade him to
take up politics very early In his ca
reer. However, at the time OF the ar
gument that drew forth this praise
Calhoun's ambition was TO make
great lawyer Of himself, and after his
graduation from Yale he sought the
advice of President Dwight respecting
his preparation for admission to the
bar. The elder man strongly advised
Calhoun to enroll himself as stu

1.-THE Litchfield law school was then

first was doubtful about the wisdom OF
following President Dwight's advice.
so he started to read law In an office
In Charleston; but while he was thus
engaged he came to the conclusion
that President Dwight had laid out
the proper course for him to follow
and he sat down and wrote lester to

he asked II he would be accepted as

Sensational Climax of Debate Between
John p. Hats, the AntI-SIavery
Leader of New Hampshire, and
Gen. Franklin Pierce.

John p. Hale Is a name forgotten
probably by all but a very few of
those who were personally familiar
with the leading minds in public life
OF the era which closed with the ter
mlnation Of the Civil war, To the
younger generation at this time Mr..
HaIe's name has no significance what
ever. Yet he was for quarter OF a
century one Of the leading figures in
our public life. He was three times
elected United States senator from
New Hampshire. He was twice nomi-
mated by the Free-Soil party for presi-
dent, and he was United States min
lister to Spain through the four years
Of President Johnson's administra-
ton.
Hale was one of the great anti-slav-
cry leaders of the late forties and the
f1fties of the last century; at one time
he was the only anti-slavery advocate
with membership in the United States
senate. He opposed the annexation Of
Texas on the ground that it would be
slave territory, and he alone, of all the
senate, refused to vote in favor Of the
resolution rendering the thanks Of
congress to Generals Scott and Tay-
Tor for their victories in the Mexican
war, which made it certain that this
country would have Texas. Not until
Chase and Seward entered the senate
in 1849 did Hale have any help in
waging his anti-slavery fight on the
floor of the senate. Two years later
Hale was Joined by Charles Sumner.
Senator Hale possessed a national
reputation as a political orator. He
was man Of impressive personal ap-
pearance. His voice was clear and res
Onant, yet 1t had almost a musical
quality in It; and he possessed per-
sonal magnetism which caused him to
be numbered among the most effective
speakers in the years between 1845
and 1855. One of his greatest tri-
umphs Of oratory came when he set
out alone in 1845 to win his native
state Of New Hampshire over to the
anti-slavery cause. He went to work
in the face Of an apparently invincible
Democratic majority; he addressed
meetings in every town and village Of
the state. and when the votes were
cast he had the satisfaction OF know

slavery leader. The interest in the
debate was state wide, and the church
in which the debate was held was
packed to suffocation on the appointed
evening.
Let me tell you right here that
General Pierce was an excellent speak
er and a sincerely conscientious Dem
ocrat; he was a much ADLER man than
many persons gave him the credit of
being. And what a speech he made
that night in reply to mine, which, of
course, l made as strong as I was ca
pable of doing. 1t was late when we
had said our last says. and then, just
at adjournment there occurred the
most interesting incident of the whole
debate Somebody never knew who
it was-cried out in a voice that car
ried all over the church: You ought
to go home proud because you have
been hearing tonight man who is
sure to be president Of the United
States!' The people cheered. Mr..
Pierce and 1 exchanged compliments.

Berlin Robbers Return Booty to Own

"Rights."

Berlin.-A certain boot and shoe
manufacturer in Berlin Is accustomed
to display in his shop windows boots
and shoes for the left foot only. keep
ing the corresponding right boot OF
each pair in his stock rooms behind
the shop. Arriving at his premises
the other morning, he was disguised
to find that his windows had been
broken and over 100 boots and shoes
carried OF. Police efforts to trace
the thieves proved fruitless. and for
several days the shoemaker ruefully
contemplated his stock of odd right
boots and shoes. for which the left
foot fellows were missing. Finally,
however, he received through the post
communication written in typical
Berlin slang, of which the following is
a translation:
Dear Mr.. Shoemaker; You will
probably have noticed already that
we allowed ourselves the pleasure OF
visit to your shop windows. But the
boots were all for the left foot. We
were not aware that the people IN

attracted to her and when he ap-

her lot with the circus folks, she
yields and leaves her beautiful home
for the wandering life of a circus.
Under the tuition of her admirer,
she becomes a gifted member of the
"haute ecole" The new life fasc;-

and exciting. Months pass, and alas,
she becomes disillusioned, for her Ru-
