Will see by this that we are stlii IN Cai-
ifornia. and although we have hao more
rain than usual we have enjoyed the
winter very well, with the help OF Inc
journal, which we receive every week.
December 31st our daughter, Mrs. Cora
Perkins, her daughter Olive, my wife
and myself, took an auto stage and went
to San Diego to see the opening OF the
Exposition. We went on to the grounds
about 8 p. M, where we met number
OF our Ramona neighbors, and there was
so much to see and hear we did not get
back to our hotel until a a. m. 1t was
something grand. After three hours
sleep we started out to see the city.
About p. m. January 1st we started for
home. 81 miles, arriving there about 6. ~.
Tuesday, February 23d, we took the
Ramona auto stage to Rosemont RaHch,
the home of our daughter, Mrs. Cora
Perkins, whose birthday occurred on that
day. The forenoon was taken up with a
Visit to Table Rock and stroll through
the woods and pastures, gathering wild
flowers. At noon the neighbors came in
with nice large birthday cake. After
dinner, which all enjoyed, a walk was
taken to Mrs. Schlenter's, where an hour
was spent singing and playing on the pi-
ano, the party then returning to the
Ranch for supper and more music on the
graphophone. Mrs. Perkins received a
number of nice presents, At 7 O'Clock
we took the auto stage back home to
Ramona, S miles, having had a nice out
ing and very enjoyable day.

address at Bowdoin College, and near
that time entertained his classmates at
dinner at the Cumberland Club. He
was then apparently in good health.
November %, 1902, he was guest at
dinner given by George Harvey to Mark
Twain. He went the next morning to
Philadelphia, where he had an appoint
ment, and from there to Washington,
where he had business before the Su-
preme Court, and was taken i'll there.
His physicians decided that he had had
acute Bright's disease for years, and
his wife and daughters were summoned
to Washington and were with him in his
last hours. He died December 6, 1902.
This is a mere outline of the life and
services of one of Names most disting-
uished sons-a big man, mentally as we'll
as physically-one who ever had the
courage of his convictions, and whose
fame is secure. He is fortunate in his
biographer. Mr.. Mccall, an intimate
personal friend and party associate, has
shown rare discrimination and judgment
in preparing this volume. 1t is not a
eulogy, but tells the story of Reeds pub
lie life and faithfully portrays him in his
private life and social relations. He
was always student, and at his home
in Portland had the largest private lib
rary in Maine, some 5000 volumes, in
Guiding the best in literature In prose
and verse, some five hundred volumes in
French, and the New Testament in half
dozen languages. For several years
he kept diary in French. Walking was
his favorite exercise, and when at his
summer place at Grand Beach, Maine,
he learned to ride a bicycle. He was
apt in retort and noted for his ready wit,
and ohn Clark Williams of Mississippi,
who had been Democratic leader in the
House, referred to Reed as s'that ever
memorable genius, the ablest running de-
bator the American people ever saw

of the novel exhibits at the Panama-Pa-

pally as an advertisement, this enormous
machine also serves another purpose of
as great Importance, since it is used for
writing newspaper bulletins that can be

is 81 it. wide and Is ft. high, is reported
to have cost $500, 600. The type are in.
in height and print letters which are
spaced in. apart from center to center.
The weight of the carriage is $500 h.,

the part of the machine ordinarily press
ed by the finger, is in, while the hol-
low cylinder is large enough for man
to crawl through. For using the ma

There now hangs in the Office Of the
Collector of Customs an oil painting of
Colonel Daniel Lane, the first collector of
customs at this port, and beside it,
framed, are the commissions issued to
him In 1918 by President James Monroe,
and in 1881 by President Andrew Jack

Milk street, Boston:
Dear Sir. l have portrait in oil Of
my or andfather, Col. Daniel Lane, who
was the first collector of the port of Bel
fast.
Having no convenient place for it l
thought you might like to hang it in the
customhouse as curiosity. l don't
know just when it was painted, but
think it must have been about rs or 80
years ago. 1t is in pretty good state
of preservation and has an almost new
gilt frame. My grandfather was Lieut.
Col. in the war of 1928, 33d U. S. In

1882, and Mr.. Bingham was cashier from
1886 to 1910. Ed.

If you will accept the portrait l will
have it boxed and expressed to you.
Mr.. Conant promptly replied accepting
the gift, and was notified March 18th of
its shipment by express. In note Mr..
Bingham said: 1.-THE canvas was not
in as good condition as I expected, but
considering the fact that it is about rs
years old it is not to be wondered at
that it was TENDER" The portrait is, in
fact, in a very good state of preserva-
ri.n, and Mr.. P. A. Sanborn, who was
called by Mr.. Conant to inspect it, adj
vised against any attempt at renovation.

office, discharging its duties to the en-

did not engage in any active business
after the expiration of his official term,
but devoted large portion of his re-

tee he ''displayed deep interest in all
matters of parliamentary procedure. -
The Greenback issue was paramount at
that time, and Reed then and thereafter
stood squarely for an honest dollar. He
was renominated in 1880 and was opposed
by Democrats and Greenbackers in hot
and decidedly personal campaign that
called into play call his resources of wit,
eloouence, argument and invective." He
was elected, but only by 100 votes, which
was the smallest plurality he ever re-
ceived. His biographer says: although
the relations between Blaine and Reed
were not those of intimacy, and they
sometimes differed upon questions re-
lating to the politics of Maine, they were
usually found acting together and Reed
was faithful to Blaine during the years
when the. latter was the leader of his
party in the nation and when his position
as leader was made difficult by opposi-
ton within his own ranks. Reed was
generous in his expression of admiration
for Blaine's talents on more than one
occasion, He once said of him: His
rush was very hard to withstand; he
never paused to defend and never ceased
to attack"
In his third Congressional term Reed
found himself a member of the majority
in the House and was urged by his many
friends to become a candidate for the
Speakership. That honor. however, was
conferred on Gen. Keifer Of Ohio. Reed

Every newspaper and magazine in the civilized world
has told It's readers of the wonOus beauty of the San

number OF persons in San Diego who, talking stran
gers are continually decrying the exposition.
This is referred TO illustration of the fact that
there is no public enterprise valuable to community
as to escape the chronic crouch.
just in the same way, have here an agricultural
region which amazes all who look upon it, but because of
general disturbance Of industry that is worldwide in it's
scope some individuals here nothing but despondency
and give themselves up to grouchness that hurts every
body.
There is place in the world where the opportunity
to do things worth while is greater than here but there
those who have lost their grip who cringe before
fate of their making and who refuse even try to
do things
1t is time for this to stop. 1t is time for mutual
