OVING the Amen Corner benches to the Hoffman House will help perpetuate the memories without continuing the essential fact. What | made the old corner in the Fifth Avenue Hotel of so much conse- quence was the men who assembled there, the Presidents of the United | States, generals, admirals, Congress- | men, Governors, foreign princes and wom e the reporters who wrote about) > them. | fa Of the Presidents of the United | © States who sat there all are dead. Neither Mr. Cleveland, who is the only) living ex-President, nor President Roosevelt was a frequenter of the) Amen Corner or is in the habit of meeting his friends in a public place. ~The Generals are gone, Grant, McClellan, Sheridan and Sherman, who} “used to sit on the red plush settees. | Who of the readers of this paper knows the name of the present! *yanking General of the United States Army, or of his predecessor, or of tthe next in rank? | z Of the men whose political power and public fame made the Amen Corner, Senators Plait and Depew and former Gov. Odell are almost the | conly ones left. The two Senators conducted the Amen Corner obse- | qQuies. They, too, except in a physiological sense, are dead. = What public places are there in New York where men now meet “socially? % Nowhere is it easier for a man to lose himself than in New York. = Nowhere are friends or acquaintances less likely to meet by chance un-| pless their livelihoods are in similar business channels. | Re People from the same country village live in New York for years} in ignorance of each other’s whereabouts. Men in the same class in s college may go along in New York a decade without running across “each other except at a prearranged dinner.

It is almost as much a prison existence as a penitentiary, where the convicts have only numbers, In one sense jt fs more so, because every penitentiary convict has a definite date when his term expires, while the life that so many men lead in New York knows no release from its routine monotony except the uncertain day of death. ' ¥ There are many places where men go to make money off each fother. The exchanges, trade clubs and mercantile and Professional asso ,Ciation rooms have their frequenters. That is not social life or friend- ship, but money hunting. j Instead of the old time social § House, old Tom’s, Pfaff's, Pedro’s, | Sieghortner’s, the old New York “Hotel, the Sinclair House, the old chop houses, the old Engel’s, the old Brown's and now the old Amen Corner, the social gathering Places have become feminine and not masculine. Peacock Alley and the Palm Room at the Waltiorf, the tea rooms of the Plaza, the women’s committee and luncheon places, in- dicate more and more that New York has become a city where men i resorts like room No. 1 in the Astor in solitude spend a monotonous life making money and where women in social competition do the spending of it.

Tall, lean, angular; long of face, homely, \ large featured, bushy haired, CAROLINA boy of thirteen, lean to starvation and clad in rags, lay on A the floor of the British barracks at Camden, 8. C., bleeding from @ sword cut. He had not recelved the blow in battle, but as punieh-” ment while a prisoner for refusing to blacken a British officer's boota, The lad was Andrew Jackson, eldest son of a poor widow. When the British troops swept the Carolinas in 1780 the Jackson family were turned out of thelr hovel. The mother and two brothers died from the hardships they suffered during that period of torture. Andrew joined a local militia , regiment, fought like a little tiger, was captured and set to servile tasks: in the officers’ quarters. There he was beaten, insulted and etarved. The sword cut from an angry officer was the climax of a long series of mi» fortunes which combined to give him a lasting hatred for his country’s foes. Great Britain was destined to pay with hundreds of ves for her} soldiers’ treatment of that ragged little Carolina boy. At fourteen, all alone in the world and utterly penniless, he became a harnessmaker's apprentice. Then he tried to teach school, and at eighteen took up the study of law. He was almost without education. To the end + of his life he could never speak or write correct Eng!

Jackson saw a splendid chance of revenge upon his British foes. He raised ) men, placed himself at their head and declared himself ready to capture Florida or any other place to which he might be sent. The Government, alarmed by his attitude, began to fear trouble from the hot-headed, lawless Southerner. Nor was the fear wholly unfounded, as shall be seen. The most exciting scenes of Jackson's stirring career were at hand. enough to make a bitter public la statesman’s hostile attitude the latter's trial for treason.

HE birth of beer occurred before the dawn of history. It was brewed by the Iberian aborigines of Spain, and |t Is brewed to-day by tribes im Darkest Africa. The story of beer !s that of the human race. Game winus was the legendary Wiscoverer of beer in its better sonse. Who was Gam- orinus? Some say the name is a corruption of Jan Primus, Duke of Brabant, * who did not disdain to be portrayed holding a tankard, Others believe the namo o be that of some mythical, beneficent saint who gave the amber nectar to mor- als, Beer is'more than a beverage~it 1s a civilization, says a writer In Harper's Weekly. There are two races, and only two, which rule the worhi to-day—the wine-oll. race and the buttor-beer race. The Une of demarcation {ts clear and lean; {t runs along the northern bouniary of the wine lands. The Russians, Germans, Scandinavians, Belgians, English and people of northeast France belong to the butter-beer race; the people of the Mediterranean littoral to the wine-oll. All drinking terms run through all languages with little disguise; thus “wine’’ somes to us almost unchanged through Latin, Greek and Hebrew. “Mend” has a similar history. ‘‘Whiskey" goes back to the Celtic “usquebaugh,” because the } felts Invented the science of distillation, or at least first adopted it from tly Arablans. D we think of language as a vocal medium for conveying thought and emo- tion from one individual to others, the bugs and bees may be sald to be dumb. For insects have no true voices or organs of speech, such as belong to articulate speaking men. They also lack the means of uttering cries character- Istio of birds and beasts. But tf we take language as simply an understanable nedium for expressing evotions, insects are thus endowed. They express emo. tons by bodily gestures. And mimetic language, though far more limited, rot loss intelligible than vocal speech. Indeed, it may be argued that a glance 4 Baia, aaa There Are No More Dumb Brutes. R.
