HISTORY BUILDERS.
Judge Holman's Rich Brother-in-Law.
BY DIR. L. J. EDWARDS.

The late William S. Holman-who
for many years represented one of the
Indiana districts in the House of Rep
resentatiYes at Washington-gained
an excellent reputation because he
keenly scrutinized every appropriation
bill so that he might be assured that
no extravaganza or unnecessary eX-
penditure would be permitted by the
bill when it passed the House. He
was often called the Watchdog of
the Treasury" and he regarded this
appellation as a compliment. Judge
Holman, by his industry and watch
fulness. saved the country many mill
lion dollars in the aggregate. Yet he
was a poor man and was dependent
upon his salary as member of Con-
gress.
Judge Holman, however, had a very
rich brother-in-law, of whose career
the judge sometimes spoke with pride,
referring to 1t as an excellent example
of the fact that in the United States
opportunity awaited every young man
no matter how poor he was when he
began active life.
The name of this brother-in-law
was Allen Hamilton. His boyhood
was spent in Montreal, his parents
having emigrated from the north of
Ireland to that city. While still in
his teens, Hamilton was persuaded
that opportunity awaited him in the
United States If he could only get
there. There was only one way for
him to travel. and that was by walk
ing. He tramped from Montreal to
Philadelphia, and when he arrived
there all but a few cents of his little saw
ings was gone. 1t was necessary that
he apply for work, and he found EN-
ployment in the store of a Quaker
who was attracted by the candor. SIM
phcity of manner and honest express
sion upon the face of the young man.
With this Quaker. Hamilton stayed
some two years, and in that time
saved almost all his wages. At last.
he felt sure he had accumulated
enough to justify his venturing into
what was then the far West-Indiana.
1t was about the time Abraham Lin
coin had departed from Indiana to
begin his career in Illinois. Hamilton,
at last, found himself in Indiana and
secured employment. He looked about
him to see where opportunity awaited
him. He learned that there were great
tracts of land that could be bought
for song, since the taxes upon these
lands had not been paid. 1t seemed
to him that some day Indiana would
grow so rapidly that these lands
would become valuable, and in that
Judgment young Hamilton indicated
his belief in opportunity.
Whenever he accumulated few
dollars he bought what was called
tax title land" and was always
careful to pay his taxes promptly.
Gradually, with the growth of In
diana, these lands appreciated in
value, and as the young man had been
wise in the selection of the land the
appreciation in some cases was very
great. Thirty years after he arrived

Autumn

Now when the time of fruit and
grain is come,
When apples hang above the orchard
wall,
And from a tangle by the roadside
stream
A scent of wild grapes fills the racy
air,
Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt
caravan.
Like a long gypsy train with trap
pings gay
And tatered colors of the Orient,
Moving slow-footed through the
creamy hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her coming
wear
Tints of Bokhara and of Samarcand;
The naples glow with their Pom
peiian red,
The hickories with burnt Etruscan
gold;
And while the crickets fife along her
march,
Behind her banners burns the GRIM
son sun.
