VERSATILE Mr.. REVERE

Paul Revere, the 2O0th anniversary
of whose birth occurred last year, is known
to fame chiefly because of his historic ride
from Boston to arouse the minute men"
on the night of April Is, IT'S, before the
engagement with the British at Lexington
and Concord. But, aside from this notable
exploit, he was an uncommOnly active and
versatile citizen.
He had taken part in the Boston Tea
Party, and became lieutenant-colonei
during the Revolution, after serving as a
lieutenant of artillery in the Crown Point
expedition of 1856, during the French and
Indian War.
In civil life he displayed a variety of
talents which a recent biographer thinks
entities him to be known as Americas first
lack of all trades" He was goldsmith,
(. copper roller, dentist, an engraver, a
powder manufacturer, maker of picture
frames, hardware merchant, and, de-
plorable as it may seem, seller of hard
liquor.
Documents recently made public by
his great-grandsOn include bills of lading
showing that Paul Revere sold a consign-
ment of lum at 60 cents gallon also gin
at a proportionately low figure. This same
great-grandson now heads copper bust
ness founded by his distinguished ancestor,
which still bears the name of Revere, in
Boston,.
2 I'M But Revere's chief pride seems to have
been in his dental skill, and he once sent a
circular to prospective clients, which
would be considered highly unethical to-
day, in which among other things he said
referring to human teeth: 'He fixes them
in such manner that they are not only an
ornament, but of real use in speaking and
eating"
Longfellow immortalized Paul Re-
vere's ride, but he didn't tell the whole
story.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER

An article in the National Republic
gives some interesting information con-
corning the first speaker of the national
House of Representatives, an able man
whose name few of this generation ever
heard.
He was Frederick Augustus Conrad
Muhlenberg, born in Pennsylvania in 1850,
the son of German pioneer, a Lutheran
preacher. The son followed in his father
footsteps and also became a Lutheran
preacher at the early age of 20, six years
before the Declaration of independence.
Young Muhlenberg was staunch sup
porter of the Revolution, and because of
his patriotic expressions was chased from
place to place by the British. Nothing
daunted, he continued to preach liberty as
we'll as the pospel, and was elected to the
Continental Congress.
After liberty had been won and the
new constitution had been adopted, Muh-
lenberg was sent to the First Congress and
was. elected its first speaker, and was sub
,sG;qfbnehtly speaker of the Third Congress.
Before going to the national Congress he

MUST BE HARD ON THE
PRESIDENT

It must be a terrible blow to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt to have their
son marry into the Du Pont family. The
daily press of last Saturday told that
Mr.. and Mrs Eugene Du Pont had an
nounced the engagement of their
daughter, Miss Ethel Du Pont, to
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., son of
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The
wedding will take place the latter part
of June.
In addition to all his other burdens,
this disgrace ~ will be exceptionally
hard for the President to bear up under.
During the recent campaign, whenever
the democratic organization wished to
tie anything particularly obnoxious on
to the republicans they trotted out the
awful Du Pont family and warned the
public to beware of those 'malefac-
tors of great wealth." those corruptors
of the public morals, those slave driv-
ers, those oppressors of the down trod-
den, and their close affiliation with and
support of the republican party. And
now, the Presidents own son is go
ing to marry Du Pont!
Now that the campaign is over, the
news of this alliance comes out We
hope the President will be able to bear
up under the shock.

that Daniel was not resident of the

The test case is brought to settle def
nitelY matter that might result in
endless legal difficulties if it were al

will now follow in district court will
settle beyond question whether or not
Mr.. Daniel can legally act as commits
sioner of commissioner district No. /.
The matter will also undoubtedly be
settled in time for him to take office
on January 4, 1887, if it is determined

Logging Operations
Moving to LtOnia Area

Work was started during the past
week on the construction of a camp in
the Leonia district by the j. Neils Lum-
Der company of Libby. About the end
of this month, the company's logging
operations south of Libby will be sus-
pended and soon thereafter will be
moved into the Leonia territory. The
camp is being constructed to accommo-
date about hundred men.
The logs will be shipped to the Libby
sawmill and will come from rather
large body of timber purchased by the
local company some months ago from
the Libby Lumber company. 1t is said
the holdings in that region are suf-
ficient for about four years operations
but the time element will depend also
upon future purchases Of timber by the
local company. 1t is understood there
is considerable other timber in that
area that will come onto the market.
The new camp is being built under
the supervision of Frank Pival. Lum-
Der was hauled from the Libby saw
mill to the site of the camp by the
w. H. Kemp outfit.
