PRESBYTERIAN MEN’'S CLUB HONORS .LINCOLN’S MEMORY Meeting of Men'’s of First Pres- byterian Church Hears Address by C el C. E. Adams. Captain C. E. Adams of Superior de- livered the princlpal address at the Lin- coln day celebration of the Men's club of | the First Presbyterian church held last night. Captain Adams address was of spectal iInterest to the large number of vetérans gathered at the meeting. He is a leading candidate for the office of national commander of the Grand Army of the Re- public. ptain Adams took part in the memor- able march from Atlanta to the sea. He met President Lineoln as a boy of 12 when in company with his father they had gone to Freeport, Ill., to hear the Lincoln-Doug- las debate. “An incident of that meeting,” sald Cap- tain Adams, ‘‘showed Lincoln's love for children, Mr. Lincoln put his hand on my shoulder and sald, ‘I've been looking fo: & Wisconsin Badger for some time and I'l take you down to Springfield.’ “It Is unnecessary for me to say,” added the colonel, “‘that from that time on I be- gan to shout fot Linooln.” | the The speaker reviewed graphically great life work of President Lincoln and deplcted in striking terms the stirring soenes of the days which marked the close of the civil war. Ceptain Adams was introduced by Robert Dempster, president of the Men's club. The hall was brightly decorated with flags and patriotio colors. the Gettysburg spsech and appropriate songs were glven by W. W. Singer. The audience included visitors from Lin- colfl,"Frertiotit ¥nd 'dthér parts of the state. The majority of the veterans belonged to U. 8. Grant post No. 110, Omaha. They marched to the hall headed by a veteran playing & fife, followed by two drummers. Among the veterans were seated Depart- ment Commandeér Edward E. Richards df Fremont and Assistant A. G.

For sale by one Who has practiced stenography knows how hard it is to read notes after they become “‘cold,” but Mischler's word signs and phrasings scem to be as plain to him as the printed words, even after the pass- ing of months. As he gets time from the pressing dutles of an assistant secretary to the president, Mischler has his notes transcribed and files the typewritten coples away. When enough accumulates he sends them to the printer and has them bound. In this way he hes made up the sixteen volumes which condtitute the record of six years of speechmaking. These volumes contain an average of 400 letter-size pages each, and as perhaps half of the pages are written single space there probably is an average of "0 words per page. This would make some 6400 pages of typewritten matter in the set of books—nearly 2,000,000 words. The first volume begins with speeches delivered at Manila and the succeeding ones em- | brace all that have followed. All of these speeches will lished at an early date, but when the works of Willlam H. Taft are collected and published in years to come they prob- ably will appear in full. The works of Of | six or elght ofher presidents have been Al | collected and published. In the case of Washington they embraced more letters | than speeches, as speech-making was not 80 popular as it is today. Up to the time ot .Theodore Roosevelt the record as a maker of presidential literature was held by Thomas Jefferson, with twenty vol- umes. But even Jefferson's efforts have been made to appear brief beside the printed works of Mr. Roosevelt—and he Is not vet through. No other president has talked upon or written about such a wide varlety of subjects as Mr. Roose- velt. While Mr. Taft may exceed the Roosevelt record, so far as the volume of his speech-making {8 concerned, he can never hope to rival his predecéssor in the range of subjects or ‘the picturesqueness ot présentation. The speéches delivered by Mr. Taft have been delivered before all sorts of audi- ences and at all concelvable times. At high noon and at midnight, in the banquet hall and from the rear platform of a train at a water tank stop, before those who see and to those who are blind—even to the deaf. On his last trip he addressed a school for the deat at Jackson, Miss. The pupils seemed to comprehend every word the president spoke, although they looked at him more than at the signs of the Interpreter. In the case of many of the earller presi- dents all of their letters which could be found were embraced In thelr published works. For instance, in the case of Wash- Ington, one finds in his published works a letter to his stepson who was attending school at Annapolls. The boy had writ- ten him asking to whom he should look for pin money. The frugal old patript re- plied that he had been supplied with £6 and that with such a lberal supply of spending money such a question ought not agitate his mind. It manifestly would be impossible ever to publish all the letters of a modern president, even the ones dic- tated by himself. The White House miall ranges anywhere from 500 to 2,000 letters a day, and everyone is answered, directly 365 5 a trer of city h tor not be pub- tion city and ele- any the can u Want to Know The President’s Speeches. or indirectly.

His | tragic death resulted fn a veritable flood | of fll-prepared biographles, most of them published by the time his body was lald in the tomb at Canton. They wers gotten out merely to catch the subscription book trade and with littje view to thelr perma- nent value. Grover Cleveland paid little attention to Iotters untll after his second term as pres- idént, but from the end of his career in the White Heuse to the date of his death he found ready rale for the articles and beoks written by him. The royalties from | his published books are said to afford his tamfly a comfortable ineome. Benjamin Harrison wrote two excelient books after | leaving the White House. Chester A. Ar- | thur was little given to literary endeavor, | and In the big card index of the library of congress there is not a single card show- ing a printed document from his hand, Aside from his messages and routine pa- | pers he has left nothing to literature. In | James A. Garfield the presidency had its only minister of the gospel. He was also | a college president. While his utterances in congress are a comprehensive resume of reconstruction times, he left little °|!P] to the ablding literature of the country For profitable endeavor in literary work first place will have to be accorded to General Grant. Ground down to sheer poverty by the Grant & Ward fallure, he forced to write his memolrs In order to provide for his family. He had written but littie before, but it developed that the | fighter was also a writer, and his auto- | biography has had a’sale far above the | 500,000 mark. Mrs. Graut received one, check for §200,000 and another for $150,000, to tay nothing of smaller ones. It Is sald | that the royalties on the memoirs of Gen- | eral Grant represent the highest reward that has ever come to the authcrship of a single work. Lincoln enjoyed few educational advan- tages, yet all the world recognizes his Gettysburg address as one of the classics of American literature. I1is writings have "been collected into elght good-sized vol- umes, and reveals the many sides of this wonderful man. Aside from Washington he 1s perhaps the most written-about of all the presidents. James Buchanan wrote a review and defense of his administration before he died. George Bancroft, the historian, col- lected the letters and diaries of James K. Polk, and intended to publish them. They are now bound in twenty-two quarto vol- umes and are in possession of the Lenox tibrary, New York, Wililam Henry Harrl- | son once wrote a pamphlet on the abor- igines of the Ohio valley, and Martin Van Buren published an inquiry into the origin and causes of pplitical parties, John Quincy Adams was a literary man, and some of his poems and essa: have sur- ‘Yived in the popujar mind. His poem on ‘Man wants little here below, nor wants that little long," has, found an abiding place in Amerlcgp Jjterature. (o Monroe, who lives in the popular mind a8 the author ofthe Monroe doctrine, wrote an extended essay on the conduct ot the executive, and another on a tour| of obtervation he made. His state papers are among the- most interesting written | by any president. Madison's Notes on | the Constitution, and those on the Conted- eration, are documents referred to by constitutional writers to this day. Jef-| ferson's Declaration of Independence, his menual of Parllanmentary Practice, which still remains a general code ef rules for| the cenate and house, and hiy Notes on | Virginia, are among the most interesting | productions from the pen of any presi- dential man of letters.

The loss to Roos & Co., is $2.806 with $1400 insurance. John Larson's loss on his grocery stock is estimated at $00 and on” household goods at $2. The Larson family occupled rooms above the store and great quantities of water flooded the kitchen and other rooms of the residence apartment. It will take $L600 to put the bullding in repadr.

The republicans made the mild demand for three judges and clerks In the repub- lican wards, that is, the First, Second and Fifth wards. Here s where the disagreement came. The democrats apparently wanted' to name all the judges and clerks and refused Lo | consider the proposition of the republi- | cans.

Great Music Requires A Great Piano F someone in your household is a fine pianist, that in itself is the best argu- ment why you should not be content with any piano less than the Weber. Even in homes where no one plays especially well, it will pay in .the end to buy the Weber. On occasions when skilled pianists visit the hnusle.hold, the presence of a Weber piano is a potent invitation to play. The greater the pianist’s ability, the more cultured the ear of the hearer, the higher will be the appreciation of the Weber's rich and colorful tones. The Weber is an instrument apart from all other pianos. It embodies a distinct individuality, bringing to the surf_ac.e _thc. best there is in composer and pianist alike.
