Shaped Calhoun's Education

er which very greatly impressed Presi-
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 we'll as of
contemporary government and poll
tics would, without doubt. II used to
that end. make Calhoun a man of very
great national prominence, and. per-
haps might bring him to the presi-
dency.
"Of course, this encomium greatly
pleased Calhoun, and It 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 a
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
dent in the law school at I.itchfleld.
Conn, saying that Calhoun could in
that way more thoroughly ground him
self in the fundamental principles Of
the law than by reading the books In
any lawyers Office.
'The Litchfleld law school was then
a young institution. not even its foun-
ders were certain that 1t would prove
a successful experiment. Calhoun at
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 letter to
the Litchfield law school. In which
he asked If he would be accepted as q
student. In due course he received a
favorable reply and shortly thereafter
enrolled as student in the school

PERSIA on ABOU ROSE
Nlohtlngale Sings Hls Frsnzlsd Lovos
Tor that FLOWER and Dies
*s .:s Beneath Rosebush. IS

Persian Legendary lore tells some
fanciful stories about the rose which
have great poetic charm. For.example.
the poet Altar wrote "The Book Of the
Nightingale = telling how all the other
birds appeared in anger, before tho,
throne Of Solomon. asking him to de-
:stroy the nightingale, which would. not
allow them to rest by night, but pour
ed forth It's lays when peaceful n
lence should rein all over the earth.
After prolonged argument the bird was
acquitted, for it explained with such
pathos that its cuntimely melody could
not be restrained because Of its fren-
zied love for the rose, q passion 50
hopeless and undying that It could
never be made voiceless. Another
Persian belief is that nightingales A.
ways die beneath rose bushes; stupe-
ned by the scent. jamie, Persian
poet. wrote Of how "the first rose ap-
peared In Gulistan at the time tho
flowers demanded a new sovereign
from Allah, because the drowsy lotus
would slumber at night. At first tho
maiden queen blossom was shown
white, and encircled with a protecting
guard of thorns, but the poor night
gale fell into such an ecstasy of love
over her charms, and 30 recklessly
pressed his lovelorn heart against
those cruel thorns, that his blood, SO
far as it could trickle into the flowers
bosom, dyed it crimson"
Another fancy states that the Per
fume OF the rose was gained from a
cup Of nectar thrown over it by the
little god Cupid, while its thorns were
those stings Of bees used by him
Al arrows In his wrath at finding
some roses scentless after all his
trouble.
The beds Of the Shahs of Persia in
ancient times were filled with rose
petals. which had to be often scattered
lest they become uncomfortable This
must surely have been the origin Of
the saying: HE would complain Of
a bed Of roses." It was also claim
ed that q rose liquor would by ono
glassful make the sternest monarch

The rose is emblematical of Joy and
love, and was consecrated to Venus.

Lincoln's Son Refused to Lead

Are you sorry that Blaine has been
nominated?" l asked.
"Yes, ! am sorry for his sake and
for his party's sake. because am con-
f1dent he is doomed to defeat" was
the reply. And am especially sorry
because, but for one thing, we could
have named a candidate who would
have swept the country. whose nomina-
ton and election would have wiped
out all factional troubles in the Repub-
lican party"
who Is that?" asked.
Robert T. Lincoln" General Hustled
replied. Il can tell you confidentially
now that movement was begun In
Illinois some months ago which had
for its object the nomination Of Robert
T. Lincoln for president by acclama-
ton by this convention after the first
complimentary ballot had been taken.
The movement had the support Of
many OF the friends Of General Logan.
and I am sure it would have received
the support of nearly all the leading
politicians Of the Republican party.
Months ago all of the strong Re-
publican leaders realized that II Blaine
were nominated by this convention
Senator Roscoe Conklings friends in
New York would knife him at the
polls. l myself am certain that enough
OF Conklings friends will knife Blaine
at the election in November to cost
1f rs
state. You know, the quarrel between
Conkling and Blaine was never healed.
On the other hand, it was doubtful
whether President Arthur, If he were
nominated, could carry New York state.
So 1t was suggested early in the spring
Of this year that we look around to see
If we could not find some candidate
who would receive the support of all
factions Of the party and who would
be certain to carry New York state.
From some Of General Logan's
friends in Illinois the suggestion came
that we take up Robert T. Lincoln. It
was splendid suggestion; the move
ment that sprang from it made consid-
erable headway. so that at last it was
thought best to put matters before Lin
coin himself. l think the better way
would have been to say nothing, but
at the right moment to have stamped.
ed the convention for him. But per-
sonal friends Of Lincoln were asked
to approach him and lay the matter be-
fore him. This they did, and after a
brief interview with him they reported
that the movement must stop then and
there. They said that Lincoln had told
them that he was the only member of
the Garfield cabinet whom President
Arthur had retained throughout his en-.
tire administration; he knew that Ar
thur craved a nominations; not so much
that he might be president again as
that there might be vindication of his
difficult administration; under the cir
cumstances he felt that it would be
rank disloyalty to President Arthur. his
chief, if he were to permit any move
ment of this kind to be made: and,
finally, If It went ahead without his
consent, he should take adequate
steps to put stop to it.
That ended it. So, today, Blaine was
nominated. And certain defeat is be-
fore U.S. But do you suppose that there
would have been any check to the en-
thusiasm Of the old Republicans as
they contemplated the opportunity of
voting for the son Of Abraham Lin
coin for president?'

When It comes to age and roman
tic history, however. old Fort Santi.
ago is far ahead of Corregidor. Ma
ntla's walled city. a town in itself, con-
sisting of several city blocks with
paved streets, business houses and
large dwellings is surrounded BY q
stone wall about thirty feet high and
from thirty to forty feet thick.
The walls once were skirted on the
outside by deep moat, filled with wa
ter having drawbridges at the various
gates. Most If not all Of the moat
has now been filed in, but no doubt
the walls will stand for years If for
no other reason than for their histori-
cal interest.
OF this vast yet crude system of
defense Fort Santiago stands as the
key. What the Tower of London is
to England, what the Vatican is to
Rome, what the Bunker Hill monu-
ment is to the United States, Fort
Santiago Is to the Philippine Islands.
The Spanish invaders made Manila
their headquarters in 1871 and began
to fortify 1t about twenty years later.
The first stone construction was the
circular wall, which is still standing.
Since the American occupation of the
fort its armament has been taken
away and the buildings within the
parks have been converted into bar
racks and storerooms.
Commodious office buildings have
been erected on top Of the walls along
and overlooking the Pas1g, and here
the commanding general of the Phil
ippine division has his headquarters.
In one Of the beautiful parks within
the fort is located the military arsen-
al, with its big steam and electric
workshops.
Some Of the maps and plans Of the
fort are now in the British museum,
In London, where they were carried
after the British. conquest of Manila.
The fort, mostly in It's present form.
has stood for 800 years. There are all
sorts Of stories floating about concern.
ing secret chambers in the walls and
wings.
So far as the secret chambers are
concerned. there is some truth in the
rumors. The filling OF the old moat
closed many Of the entrances to these
chambers, probably forever. When the
wall in Gale Aduana was removed. an
inner chamber was found filed with
human skeletons.
Natives have wholesome terror of
tho old place, and absolutely no desire
to see anything below the surface of
the thick old walls. Americans who,
with electric lamps. have started ex-
plorations have given up. owing to the
foul air. crumbling passages and 9TH
Or hindranc4s.
Only three flags have flown above
Fort Santiago. For 32S years the
Spanish ensign was unfurled to the

TEXTILE MEN EXPRESS
THEIR FEAR OF WILSON

PHILADELPHIA. July 12.-LocaI
textile men are almost a unit in say
ing they fear that Governor Wilson. II
elected to the Presidency, would seri-
ously injure their business. Charles j.
Webb, president of the wool firm Of
Charles ]. Webb & Co.. for the textile
men said:
I'VE want Taft. The textile, wool
and kindred industries will be best
protected by the reelection of the Pre-
sident. Governor Wilson would be
dangerous to these interests, as he
leans too much toward free trade He
is a student Of Bryan, who favors
free raw material. The general busi-
ness of the country might not be dan
gerously affected through the election
of Governor Wilson. but the wool busi-
ness would be until there was a read
justment Of the tariff.
Richard II. Blythe OF the r. A.
Blythe Company said that while Gov
ernor Wilson is a pretty good man the
wool trade would look upon him with
distrust. 1--WE are high tariff men and
we favor President Taft" he said.
