Der Of the quartet is said TO have re.

that If the harmonizers of four years
ago met with such little SUCCESS on
the Wilson-Won't-Win proposition,
the "meistersingers' and "minnesin.

BY JAMES 3. MORROW,
in the Philadelphia Record.

AyONE of the Weekses, save John
IN Wingate, the senator and the
- Massachusetts candidate for
president-toiling as they all did
among the granite humps of New
Hampshire-was ever noted for his &C
cumulation of cash or property.
They were farmers mostly, begin
ming with Leonard Weeks, who, emf
grating from England in 1856, became
the head and source of the family.
Agriculture sternly practiced among
the embedded rocks and irremovable
powders taught them to be resource
full and to keep at least one eye open
to opportunity.
So William D., the father Of the sen.
ator, was a probate Judge, and once
essayed to be a manufacturer. With
the cooperation of neighbors, likewise
alert and adventurous, he started a
factory at Lancaster for making starch
from potatoes.
Il will never forget the look on my
fathers face, Captain Weeks told me,
when, on a Sunday morning, Just as
we were leaving church, we saw men
and boys running down the street and
heard them crying: The starch fac
tory is burning

Let the candles be now lighted;
there is no guilty person here. If the
man ever had any money he must have
left it in some other place" said Dow.
But, stop!' he exclaimed suddenly;
'let US now examine the hands," This
was of course, the main point in the
whole affair. 1t was found that one
man had not rubbed against the pot.
There, y said Dow, pointing to the man
with clean hands; there is the man
who picked your pocket" The thief at
once confessed and gave up the money.
1t IS reported that on one occasion az
couple came to BOWS home to be mar
ried. 1t was stormy day. and Dow,
beng too sick to leave his room, order
ed the couple to come and stand under
his window, while he raised the window
and performed the ceremoney, using
the following brief words:
Under this window, in stormy
weather,
JOIN this man and woman together;
Let Him alone who made the thunder
Part this man and woman asunder."
Lorenzo Dow was a remarkably gift
ed, but i'll balanced, man. He preach
ed for thirty-nine years, travelling ex-
tensively in England and Ireland, and
repeatedly visiting almost every portion
Of the United States. Sometimes he
would have a chain of appointments ex-
tending 1000 miles across the United
States. With all his eccentricities and
clownish ways, his purity of purpose
and beneVOlence of character can hard
ly be questioned The following ex-
tracts from his journal will give some
idea Of his labOrs and hardships. Il
have travelled GOO miles during the
past eight months, through heat in the
valleys and cold in the mountains. and
frequently sleeping with blanket on
the floor where | could look up and see
the stars through the bark root. the
frCst nlpplng me so that | lost the skin
Of my nose, hands and feet, and from
M ears it pealed three times. Some
times travelling all night to make an ap-
pOintment in time, and no stranger to
hunger and thirst while travelling many
miles through the drifted snow without
path to follow. Though nv sorrows
were great, the Lord was still precious
to my soul, and supported me through.
After preaching at Ebenezer's :, l
silently withdrew, and taking my horse,
Travelled all night until 10 O'Clock next
morning, when | spoke at Bethel, and
then jumping out of a window from the
pulpit, rode seventeen miles to Union,
thence to Duck Greek Cross Roads,
making nearly eighty miles travelled
and five meetings without sleep.
He closed his erratjc life at George
town, ID. C.. February >. 1884, and was
buried in the city Of Washington.

midst of the congregation. Instantly a
man lodged his heads behind the pew.
Now" said Dow, 81 will expose you
no further; but if you don't leave that
axe tonight where you got it, l will
publish you tomorrow. The axe was
promptly returned. The truth of this
story has been vOuched for.
Some of these anecdotes have the air
of incredibility and extravaganza, when
related of minister of the Gospel; but
when we remember the notorious eccen-
tricities of Dow we shall be disposed to
receive them as true. We shall relate
some others that we'll accord with his
character.
After long and tiresome journey,
he stopped about nightfalI at the rood
of country tavern in West Virginia.
He retired to his apartment, but was
much disturbed by party of revelres
who sat at their cups and cards, until a
late hour. Near midnight one of the
company discovered that he had lost his
pocketbook, and search was proposed.
The landlord here remarked that Lo-
renzo Dow was in the house, and that
If the money had been lost there, he
could certainly find it. The suggestion
was adopted at once, and Dow was
aroused and requested to find the rogue.
AS he entered the room he glanced
searchingly around, but could see no
signs of guilt on any face. The loser
was in great trouble and begged Dow
to find his money.
Have any lett the room since you
lost your money!" inquired Dow.
Monochrome, replied the man.
Then, said Dow, turning to the land
lady, go and bring NE your large din
ner pot.
This excited no little astonisment; but
as they accorded to him supernatural
powers. the order was promptly obeyed.
and the pot placed in the center Of the
room.
Nov" said Dow, ego and bring
the old chicken cock from the roost. "
The amazement grew apase. How
ever, the old rooster was brought in,
placed in the pot and securely covered.
Let the doors be now fastened. and
all the lights put out, " said Dow This
was done.
Nov" said he, EVERY person in
the room must rub his hand hard
against the pot, and when the guilty
hand teaches, the cock Will crow.
All then came forward and rubbed, or
pretended to rub against the pot, but
the cock cid not crow.

If there had been a navy of re-
spectacle size in 1881 John Wingate
Weeks would now be a captain in
stead of a senator. Nor would he
ever have become banker and thus
have set at naught all the traditions of
the Weeks family for self-respecting,
capable and wholesome poverty.

inherited traits might show that the

In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is a large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be 250 pounds.
His stature, perhaps, is five feet and
eleven inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
at the naval academy he could slowly
raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his
head with his right hand. Then, kneeL

an S7-pound dumbbell with his left

CHARITIES AND CORRECTION,


Vermont is the last of the eastern
States to take steps to organize a State
Conference of Charities and Correction.
The need Of conference and coopera-
ton has been strongly felt by many
engaged in work for the dependent, the
handicapped and the deficient. At a
preliminary conference it was decided
to call meeting for the purpose of
organizing such a conference, and COM
mites were appointed to carry that
purpose into effect. The members of
these committees have arranged to hold
the first State Conference in Burlington,
January II and II. Able speakers have
been secured and it is believed that the
conference will be one of great interest
and usefulness. The committees unite
in inviting all persons engaged in
charitable or correctional work and all
persons interested in such work to at
