Watterson was living breathing and,

than fifty years Of American history He was
the friend and playfellow and adviser Of the
great and near-great Of three generations.
Knowing politics better than most men, he
gave valuable counsel mpartaly to Repub-
and Democratic Presidents 1t was always
kindly received and what is still more Won

A lover of convivialty and good talk, he
was to be found at tables in New Yorl or in
London or in Paris in Washington where
good talk abounded and whore the walters re-
spected the guests taste in wine.
With an unusual musical talent and strong
taste for the drama, he was the friend Of the

Some men wait to learn of life and people

too impetuous for that. He came out Of the
Civil War boy, but boy with an overwhelnl-
ing curiosity and the confidence in himself
that amounted to genius. At twenty-elght,
after visiting London and meeting many OF It's
greatest men, he returned and got himself
job editing a newspaper in Louisville. tie got
that job because, even though he was twenty
eight, everybody concerned knew that he was
the man for it. From that day he began the
task of bringing the North and South to
full and complete understandings task which
was completely accomplished when he bade
farewell to his beloved world few days ago.
That was his life work, and he devoted him.

he schooed on his newspaper. If they de-
veloped newspaper talent he kept them or
suffered them to 90 to higher places. If they
developed political talent he sponsored their
ambitions and dcljghtedly watched them climb
to the great places in the nation.
Hard work he loved, but only for short
spells. He knew perhaps better than any one

Willard where Sumner and the other great
Unionist lights Of the Senate used to converse
in rolling phrases which were more speech
making than talk Watterson had been

Sections broke out, and served to the end.
This gained him many new friends among the
abIest leaders &C The South, but he never,
even in the bitter years that followed the war,
lost the esteem of the Union men whom he
knew as a reporter in Washington.
In London, when still young man, he had
met Tyndall, Huxley, Herbert Spencer and
John Stuart Mill, listening eagerly to their
conversations At that time Artemus Ward
had just taken London by storm and Waiter
son formed an intimacy with him which lasted
till the humorists sad death in a strange land.

continued to form throughout has long life
