SHERMAN FUNERAL WILL


health dates from August 21, when
he formally was notified of his nomi.
nation as vice-president. He was
warned that the exertion incident to
the ceremonies might have an ill-ef-
feet, but insisted that the program as
arranged be carried out.
"You may know all about medicine, "
Mr.. Sherman told his physician when
he urged him to arrange for a brief
and informal notification, "but you
don't know about politics."
1T was against my advice" said
DR.. Peck, that Mr.. Sherman particj-
pated in the formalities of the notifi-
cation ceremonies. I suggested that
it would be better for him to receive
the committee in the parlor of his
home, tell them briefly that, while he
did not want a denomination, he would
accept it in spirit of loyalty, and
let that suffice. When it became an
parent that he would not yield to
my suggestions | urged him to make
a speech of not more than five min
utes."

of the United States and the only
one re-nominated, was christened
James Schoolcraft Sherman. But. in
nearly quarter of century of public
life, Jim" Sherman he was to his
lntimates, and probably half the ma.
ton referred to him as Sunny Tin. ."
sobriquet he earned as one might
imagine by a never-failing, all-year
round sunny disposition.
Sherman belonged to the school of
Republicanism nowadays popularlv
called Regular" and he fought his
political battles shoulder to shoulder
with men Of his faith without compro-
mise or flinching. Like every public
man, he had critics, some bitter. but
he also had friends who were a match
FOR his enemies. The events he helm
ed to shape are so comparatively re-
cent that history cannot assign him
to his proper place until it also re-
cords the work of his contemporaries
To the House Of Representatives of
the Fiftieth Congress, he came in

twenty-seventh birthday, with the

Two sessions of Congress found
Sherman defeated and out of office,

Of Madison county, beat him by less

the Fifty-second congress. In
the interim Sherman went back

Ing more remarkable than the de-
velopment of arms and ammunition.
1t Is difficult to believe that at that
time there were no real gun factories
in America, although today it is one
of the nations great industries.
In connection with the early DAYS
of gun making in this country an
anecdote, of interest to every man
who owns modern gun, is told in the
little hunting book which is now be-
ing distributed by the Remington
Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Co., in
commemoration of this event.
"One day in 1915, two men. a smith
and his son, both named Eliphalet
Remington, were working busily at
their forge in Ilion Gorge, in New
York state, when, so the story goes,
the son asked his father for money
to buy a rifle, and met with a re-
tusal. The request was natural for
the surrounding hills were full of
game. Eliphalet, Jr closed his law
tightly, and began collecting SCRAP
iron on his own account. This he
welded skillfully into a gun barrel
walked fifteen miles to Utica to have
it rifled and finally had weapon
of which he might we'll be proud. In
reality it was such very good gun
that soon the neighbors ordered
others like it, and before long the
Remington forge found itself hard at
work to meet the increasing demand.
Several times each week the stall
wart young manufacturer packed a
load of gun-barrels upon his back. |
and tramped all the way to Utica |
where gun smith rifled and finish |
ed them. The broad shoulders of |
Eliphalet, Jr., ached under his load |
and he soon devised machinery with
which he could do the rifling for him
self. Thus the forge became com
plete gun factory, receiving material
as scrap iron, and turning out finish
ed rifles. Remington guns soon be-
came famous throughout the country
and brand new American industry
was begun"
This incident is typical of the be-
ginning of the American genius and
many similar anecdotes could be told

of the communities in this vicinity.
