Odd Method of Trauel
Called "Ride and Tie"

Salmon P. Chase, Lincolns secre.
tary of the treasury, showed financial
ability early in his life. When he
went from his New Hampshire home
to Worthington, Ohio, to live with his
uncle. he was accompanied by an older
brother as far as Cleveland, where he
was given instructions as to how to
reach Worthington. Finding that he
had to wait several days for a coach
to take him as far as Medina, he
obtained a canoe and earned several
dollars by ferrying people across the
CuyahOga river, relates ]. 81. Gal
braith, Ohio historian. In Medina he
met two young men from Worthing-
ton, whom he was to accompany on
their return trip. They had come on
horseback, so young Chase was intro
duced to the "ride and tie" method of
travel. One Of them would mount the
horse and ride forward several miles,
of course Outstripping the one who
walked. Then the rider would dis
mount and tie the horse by the road
side and press on by foot. The other
would reach the horse, mount it and
passing his companion, would tie it
and 60 ahead on foot In this way the
horse was spared a double burden
and the travellers made good speed.

Dominion Sought as
the Perfect Freedom

The history of the struggle for lib
erty in the deeper sense is thus not
merely the history Of wars fought and
battles won in the name of deliverance
from oppression. 1t is the history of
the struggle of mankind for dominion |;
and dominion is only another name for
the perfect freedom.
Man has achieved not only freedom
from the beast, but dominion over it,
not only freedom from enemy man but
dominion over him. He has achieved
at least partial safety from the ele-
ments, and exercises at least partial
dominion over them. He has learned
to divert and dominate the lightning;
he has made fire and water his slaves,
and only on occasion do they rise
against him; he has subdued the hard
earth with the share, and converted
its minerals and metals from dead
weights into the ministers of his Eom-
fort. He has made the labor Of an
hour the achievement of a minute; he
can travel in day by sea the weeks
distance of his grandfathers, and by
land the distance of their month; he
has vanquished the air. In these
ways and others he has won new lib
critics. In these ways and others he
is seeking liberty still-through the
control of natural forces, the con.
troll of disease, the control of intelli-
gence, the control Of passion, the con.
troll Of men in masses and 'ngly.-

California Chronicle.

Visitor Surely Had
Impressed Small Boy

There was great excitement in the
Jones home out on Long island. A
real lord was paying them visit.
He was now sitting at the dinner table
and Mrs. Jones fluttered as she urged
my lord to eat this and that.
Mr.. Jones, swollen with sense of
the great honor bestowed upon his
household. began each sentence with
lord and ended it the same way with
a worshipful not to say reverential,
air.
AS special privilege-thinking that
he might talk about it in his maturer
years-little Willie Jones, aged five.
had been permitted to attend the func-
ton on condition that he refrain from
talking unless spoken to. Mindful of
this pledge. the little fellow sat in
silence, his large round eyes fixed
in a stare upon the face and form Of
the stranger.
But when he saw the visitors eye
roaming hither and yon across the
laden table as though seeking some
thing, an innate sense Of hospitality
moved him to speak.
"Moml Oh. mom!" said Willie.
"What is it. Willie?" asked the
mother.
God wants a pickle. "-Everybody's

Jackson by No Means
Lacking in Education

John Quincy Adams declined to at
tend the ceremonies at Harvard col.
lege in 1888 when the honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws was conferred
upon Andrew Jackson. then President
of the United States.
His reason. according to his diary.
was that "as an affectionate child of
our alma mater, l would not be pres
ent to witness her disgrace in con-
ferring her highest literary honors
upon barbarian who could not write
sentence of grammar and hardly
could spell his own name"
Adams estimate of Jackson has
been challenged by DR.. Archibald Hen
dersOn, who tells in the Raleigh IN.
c. News and Observer, the result Of
his exhaustive researches regarding
Jackson's early life. He finds that
Jackson, as a boy, received a better
education than the average child of his
station in life.
Later he attended Waxhaw academy.
He continued his studies in that part
Of Carolina known then as New Ac-
QUESTION. An account of the life Of
Rev. Francis Cummins, once teacher
at Bethel, S. c., shows that Jackson
was one of his pupils and there is
evidence that for a short time Jackson
attended Queens museum in Char
lotte, N. G.

Colunbus' Debt to Wife

If 1t be true that there Is woman
in the background in every notable
achievement. there seems to be JUS
LITIGATION in calling Dona Felipa, the
wife of Christopher Columbus, that in
fluence in the life of the man who
was later to discover the western
world.
When Columbus talked to her about
his exploration enthusiasms, she was
sympathetic and his ambitions appear
to have found grateful nurture, at their
fireside. There is tale of how Dona
Isabella, Columbus mOther-in-law. pro-
duced an old box containing maps and
logs-piously kept relics of her hus-
bands. 1t may be that something
found in this box prompted in Column
bus the conception, later to become a
flaming article of faith, of land be-
yond the horizon.-Kansas City Times.

Jews Protested Stamp Act

Although no list of signers has been
found of the New York agreement Of
merchants to make all past and future
orders for British merchandise con-
tingent on the repeal Of the stamp act,
it is believed that the Jewish mer-
chants of the city Of that day joined
with their fellow business men. The
original agreement entered into by
Philadelphia merchants, however,
shows that the leading Jews of that
city were among the signers. They
were Matthias Bush, David Franks.
