Intimate trlendS Sald tnat MT.
Beveridge frequently would work far
into the night, disregarding the hour
in his passion for the work. His
tirelessness in this work was his
predominant characteristic at the
time he was stricken.
To his friend. Clarence Martin,
State Supreme Court judge. Mr..
Beveridge told of the fatiguing work
he had done in gathering new ma
terial for Lincolns biography. Much
of the material, he said, had not been
unearthed by Lincoln's earlier BIZ
ogrraphers. He had gone to Spring
field, ILL.,, and there pored through
the original journals of the Illinois
General Assembly, not indexed. to
find Lincolns S every vote on motions,
bills and other acts of the Legisla-
ture. What disposition will be made
of this mass of reference data has
not been decided.
Became Companions
Judge Martin checked a great deal
of the manuscript for the Life of
Lincoln and through this intimacy
with Mr.. Beveridge became his COM
panion on many of the author s
walks about Indianapolis.
Walking was his only relax
ation," Judge Martin said. "Mr.
Beveridge had what he called his
short walk and long walk. When
time was short he took the short
walk The course was from his
home. north on Washington Blvd. to
Forty Sixth St. west to Meridian,
then to Forty.Third st. and back
home.

He Liked to ak

when demands for time were not
so pressing, it was Mr.. BeveridSe's
pleasure to take his long walk He
would have his chauffeur drive him
to Fairview Park, where he would
light and walk down along the can
al to Northwestern Ave. There his
chauffeur would meet him again.
."On the many walks / took with
Fin. he always led .he conversation
and it chiefly concarned the Life
OF Lincoln Martin said.
Mr. Beveridges home at 4164
Washington Blvd, was built eight
cen years ago. In its spacious lawn,
in the shade of its old trees and
shrubbery, Mr.. Beveridge was to
be seen frequently. reading or work
ing on his manuscript. Spring
and sumner he spent at his home
here: winters at his Beverly Hills
farm, acquired twelve years ago.
Tells Of Friendship
"Mr. Beveridge at first bought
only a small tract where his home
now stands" Judge Martin related.
HE was young attorney at the
time. and when Granville S. Wright,
who owned the land, urged him to
buy larger tract, he replied he
couldn't pay for it, Wright, how
ever, insisted that he take it, saying
he wasn't worried about his not pay
ing for 1t, and Mr.. Beveridge eX-
tended his holding through to Penn
sylvania st"
judge Martin said their friendship
was opened by n letter he wrote Mr..
Beveridge when he was Senator.
Martin commended the Senator
warmly for his utterances, and to
his surprise received a gracious re-
ply of thanks. When Mr.. Beveridge
returned to Indiana he sought out
Martin at Lawrence, Ind, and out
of their acquaintance grew a warm
| friendship.
college Politics"
Mr.. Beveridge's last public utter
ances were at banquet OF Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity of which
he was a member at De Pauw Uni
versity. He retained an active inter
est in affairs Of the fraternity and
university. A leader in college
politics" it was frequently said OF
Mr.. Beveridge, that he learned his
political tricks" at the Green
castle institution.
His close contact with newspaper
men made him a warm friend Of the
profession. On speaking engage
ment in southern Indiana a few
years ago, he was asked by a report
er, now with The Times, what the
nature of his afternoon address
would be.
"You observed the mastery way
in which I said nothing this morn
ing" he answered.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
EASY

It is easy enough to be cheerful
AS the poets so frequently state
When you haven't a cause to be
fearful,
And the wolf doesn't wait at the
gate.
1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When you haven't care to deplore,
When YOU have enough cash for the
present,
And know where to go to get more.
1t is easy enough to be happy,
And to look upon life as all fun
When your mind is efficient and
snappy,
And your work is no job to get
done. ~
1t is easy enough to keep smiling
When it's not the le&t trouble to
smile
When the Heavens are Slue and be-
quilting
And existence is wholly worth while.
1t is easy enough to be jolly
And to feel that the future is
I bright,
When some past inexcusable folly
Doesn't keep you awake half the
night.
It is easy enough to be merry
With never moment of dread
When your load is no trouble to
carry
And the roadway is pleasant ahead.
r 10 10 11aN Il 1aG
Or the joy of existence to feel
When the cards have been crookedly
shuffled
And you're getting the worst of the
deal.
If you Danish all thoughts of resent
ment
When you're broken and pushed to
the WALL
And still sing song of contentment,
You simply aren't human, that's all.
