Dr. McClung brought the family

Induced them to take flight In the night. The next morntng the family received no call to breakfast. They began to look around and found the colored servants and all their belonging* missing. With much difficulty breakfast was prepared at lasb—a bakery j being n«ar-and two Irish aervants took •the Place of the family of five; negroes. Mrs. McClung was having th" time of her life, for they were s very competent aervants. but soon « I letter was received from the colored | people telling of homesickness and , the treachery of the people who had Induced them to,leave a good home.j where sll their wanta were suppUed.

Sloan and contintanJ for many years. My father had traveled in the west and thought the prospects^f Ihdianapolls wt?re very bright, »o7 returning to Pennsylvania, he sold out a prosperous business and Mtarted for the west, securing John Hloan for a partner. They made common furniture and also made to order fine upholstered sofa* and chair* of mahogany and walnut. My father designed several unique pieces, among them a writing desk with a solid mahogany top which, being lifted, disclosed a place for writing with place* for pen* and a gins* Inkstand and nandboxes to match.'. No envelope* were in use and every school boy and girl wa* taught to fold a letter and one place wu* for a wafer, a small red disk which was moistened and fastened the letter securely. A place was in this desk fqr deeds and valuable paper*. The one In our possession contains the original papers containing the notices of the assassination of Lincoln, Gar

I have never seen any account of this firm, but remember .Mr. Ramsey and bis business at a later day. Mr. Sloan whs the father of George W.

Men rushed In crowd* to the Bates house and there on the balcony stood Governor Morton, who in tones loud enough to reach the last one in the crowd proclaimed the alirm: "Morgan i» coming! He has crossed the Ohio! He Is in Indiana! Go to your wards and receive yotir guns and be
ready to defend your homes." Men of all classes poured in by
every train, as the news flew Bke ^lldflre through the state. Opposite oar bouse were fields with rail fences owned by William Sheets. The rails were thrown down and in marched the soldiers with their guns for the night. They were to rest on their arms, to be ready any minute. Many of them had come for mlJes and had nothing to eat. so my mother and others mady coffee by the gallon and

But Morgan, hearing of the preparation, switched off Into Ohio, and farmers had their horses hidden in the woods. OpeUady in Indiana, a southern sympatbixor. drove her carriage and two fine horses to meet Morgan. She encouraged the officel-s and told them she would do anything to help them. They said. "You have two fine horses ours arc almost spent.” and. unharnessing her horses, put in their places the wornout onea. She drove home with her enthusiasm somewhat
dampened. ^
Speaking as Alma Winstead Wilson does of the house occupied by Mrs. Sarah T. Bolton, the well-known poet, remind* me of a call I enjoyed when Bayard Taylor returned from California. He called on Mrs. Bolton. My friend. Miss Nannie Maguire, daughter of the auditor of state, and t were 'calling at the same time on Mrs. Bolton's daughter. We enjoyed the, conversation Immensely, ss Mrs. Bolton was a fine conversationalist
cused him of exaggeration. "You can not exaggerate the beauties of California." This* was when little was known of this country. Two of my uncles joined the forty-niners, as the people who had the thirst for gold were called. Letters received from California at that day were marked 50 cents (no stamps were known), and we gladly paid the money. If the people of the early days could see our conveniences and our automobiles and the skyscrapers of Indianapolis they would sfand aghast at*the improvement. , # ELLEN ESPY VINNEDGE. Savannah, ,Ga.

A letter diseiissiqg I he economic and political conditions in Europe. u»d particularly in France, has been received by Warren S. Gibson. 2035 Broadway, who formerly was in the V M, f, A service in France. The letter \v»» written by Martha Phelut, a member of a French family with whom Mr. Gibson became avquaiijted While be was in France. A transla-
tion follows:

"Europe needs an effort to recover her former economic prosperity. Deprived of the best of her nyn. she has
tad to fight against diseases; she has grown weary and worn prematurely by .all the hard trials she went through. The world’s catastrophe has shaken minds and hodies; we hardly renlix. yet th# extent of the shock, but w# notice that even the most energetic have not been spared; ■ sorrows, miseries and pains have wormed our organism and we need some time before our nsrvous system will be
entirely sound again.
‘Both this physical and intellectual discomfort have a heavy effect on the social and economic life of all states. We have to remake the world. This war has altered the hhole world— everything must b« renewed—social and political Systems have received a fresh start, life of the nations and life between them have to be utterly
modified.
•How will nation* support this crisis? Will prosperity ever come back to Europe? "Years ago Europe has been badiv , upset by similar eatastroplfles. hut ( avery time from the scattered ruins, ew world has risen. Already, nt I different periods of her history France has been grievously wounded v and wa* disabled. Wasn't she on the verge to succumb at the time of th. *L»i?u#v (th# struggle between (*athoilex and Protestant* in 1575). and of the 'Guerre de Cent an*‘ (lOO years war), under tho Uuimnutiou ox the
and' political struggles. Everywhere, hatred, shame, misery and* oppression T»rovall«d. -After a row years of peace France recovered possession of her means, her army and navy wore reorganised, she succeeded to develop her agriculture, trer trade iAul her Industry How endless nrb the reserves of will and onergfy of France to allow her to live again after such catastrophes. Are those phases of the past not the best pledge of her glorious future! - ' "Our American friends who came so readily todtelp tts to figM for freedom and Justice art* sure.to have noticed our steady and- industrious spirit, our sense of duty. our culture and our morale. They have seen France doing her utmost to resist the tremendous attack upon the liberty of the world they have seen her struggling against the rush of the barbarians for the sake of Justice, for an ideal of beauty and of good. After so hard a fight France sees her economic life weakened: great are her human and financial losses, hut she has fulfilled her duties, she knows that the nations who have shared her sufferings and grief, trust her. sho is worth their eateeem and their friendship With their help she will surmount this crisis and grow happy and strong again, but it is urgent that our friends across the ocean trust us on tho economic grounds, as well as they did confide in us when we fought for freedom. We depend one on the other,, our financial interests are similar. the alBes must unite and develop Their economic resources. We* must unite and form an international and economic league that will allow us to restore our prosperity; and return gradually to' normal conditions. • Shall onr American friends fail to help us in this work of h-genenition? We are sure that they shall not. because we know their generous and practical smrit. because we know bow generous their hearts really are. because we know how they will devote themselves to this noble task; liberat-
ing the nations."
