A Self-Made Statesman

Prom Farm Boy to Senator" may seem far-fetched fiction in the pages of Oliver Optic and Horatio Alger, but it stands for a transformation which has been accomplished many times in the real life of America. The "stur- dy yeomanry'' of free America have turned out dozens of solons and states men. Representative of the best type of this class of lawmakers was Phile- tus Sawyer, long a United States Sena- tor from Wisconsin. To-day marks the centenary of his birth in Whiting, Vt. Like many of the New England farm boys of that period, he had but a few months schooling, most of his time being spent in laborious toll on his fathers acres. "
 At the age of seventeen young Phi letus decided that he was a full-fiedg- ed man-the youth of that period de- veloped their ambition and sense of responsibility much earlier than the average youngsters of the present. and determined to strike out for him. self. Accordingly, as an honest youth he purchased his release from his father, to whom, by law and custom, he was bound for four years longer.
 For eight years thereafter he work

BELGIAN KING AGING
 UNDER STRAIN OF WAR

Flushing, Netherlands, Sept. a. King Albert of Belgium has aged un- der the heavy cares and sorrows of the present time, and his hair is be- ginning to turn gray, according to the latest news from the Belgian front. His Majesty never leaves the small strip of territory over which the Bel gtan flag still. flies, refraining from visits to places in France or to Ste: Adresse, where his government has its seat. If the King of England or President Poincare want to meet the Belgian sovereign, they have to go to this corner by the Yser.
 The soldiers deeply appreciate the fact that their sovereign and com mander-in-chief shares with them the monotony of this marshy bit of coun- try, waiting. like them, for. the day when Belgium shall be free once more His Majesty is frequently seen by his men-in the trenches, in barracks, on the sands and in the dunes. It is said, indeed that no one knows better than he the 25 or 30 miles of trenches where the Belgian troops keep vigilant guard day and night. He is particu- larly fond of visiting the advancing posts, and his troops always feel some amount of anxiety when they descry the kings tall figure traversing the footbridges only some hundreds of me- ters distant from the enemy.
 Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, has with her own hands bound up many badly-wounded men in the Ocean Hospital. Here she is in daily | attendance, speaking an encouraging | word here and there to the patients and distributing tobacco and cigarettes Instances are related in which she has | stood by the dying bed of simple sol | diers. Her Majesty is held in great veneration by the entire army.

ed in the Adirondack pineries, paying off his debt to his father. It was in 1S47, at the age of, thirty, that he went to Wisconsin, the state in which he was destined to win fame and for tune. Settling first at Fond du Lac. he soon removed to Oshkosh. where he engaged in the lumber industry.
 There were fortunes to be made in Wisconsin lumber at that period and Philetus Sawyer was not slow in real izing that fact. He was among the most active in seizing the many oppor- tunities in the new and growing state. and accumulated a large fortune.
 His political career began in 1856 with his election to the Wisconsin state legislature. During the civil war he was elected to Congress, serving in the House for ten years. He donned the senatorial toga in 1881, and for 12 years was one of the Republican lead CTS in that body. He died in Osh- kosh in 1900.

THE PASSING OF a
 HEINIE WAGNER

This year has witnessed the pass ing from baseball of one of its for mer starsICharles Henry Wagner, alias 'Heinie." He Is still a young ster compared with Honus Wagner. as he will be thirty-ffve tomorrow. The great little shortstop of the Red Sox. after being absent from the game for a year by reason of illness, tried to pull off a comeback in 1915. but the old pep" wasn't there. At that. Heinie was of great assistance to the red hose warriors last year in the capacity of assistant manager, for he has absorbed a lot of baseball lore during his long service, and is a dia- mond strategist of nos mean ability. Heinie was given his release by the Boston club last January, and got a job as pilot of the Hartford club of the Eastern league. As a manager he failed to live up to the expectations of the management and fans of the Nutmeg State capital, and was turned loose in June.
 sidered one of the finest men in the short-stopping business. Born in New York city on Sept. 23, 1881, he got his start with Columbus, O., in 1901, when he was in his twentieth year. In the middle of the 1902 season he was signed by the Giants, but after play ing few games he was released to Newark. After four years in the Jer- sey metropolis he was sold in 1907 to the Yankees, and turned over to the Red Sox. For several years he had the reputation-at least among Red Sox fans-of being the greatest
