TOM REED A CZAR

WHEII TEACHER

Turning Point in Life of Fam

ous Speaker When at District School.

PRESIDENT PATTON

OF PRINCETON UNIV.

MORRILL WAS HIS FRIEND!

INTERESTING INCIDENT RECALL-

- ED IN CONNECTION WITH THE

DEATH OF THE FORMER KAN

SAS GOVERNOR.

Topeka, Kan., April lO. The death

of former Governer E X. Morrill at

his home at Hiawatha recalls some In

teresting Incidents in his life. One of

them is that when a member of a dis

trict school hoard in Maine he confinned the employment of the late

Speaker Thomas B. Reed as teacher.

and later stood by him and saved him when other directors and patrons of

the school sought to displace him.

It was 50 years ago, that Reed, then

about 17, appeared at the little village of Westbrook, 10 miles west of Portland, Me., and applied for the job of

teaching the district school. West-

brook, now a town of 8,000, was then

a hamlet.

E. N. Morrill, who later came to

Kansas and served this state as con

gressman and governor, lived on a farm near the Westbrook district

school. He had been elected a member of the school board, and among the

other duties devolving upon that body

was that of employing a teacher for

the eight weeks' school term during midwinter. Reed was a student at Bowdoin college and was doing chores

mornings and evenings to pay his way.

He had eight weeks vacation during winter and decided to put in the time teaching a country school at $25 a

month. He selected Westbrook be

cause of its nearness to Portland. Not a Happy Valley.

Dr. H. C. Linn, a Kansan who has

spent many years in Washington and was a personal friend of Speaker Reed and Gov. Morrill, in a reminiscent talk about the early friendship between

these men in the village of Westbrook.

said:

"I wish I could tell the story as I heard Tom Reed tell it In Washington

when he and Governor Morrill were in congress. Nobody on earth could put it in black and white as It was told in his inimitable drawl with the twinkle

in his kindly eyes, the Jolly laugh er

slowly coming smile that changed so

marvelously the whole expression of

his face.

And, after tbey leave the Jan 'that bold them now, what are they made Into? Who, for example, would connect a great pile of dry, thin twigs, neatly tied into small bundles, with sarsai parllla ? These twigs "are the creepling roots' and rootlets of a prickly shrub that grows In Jamaica; and they are worth from 10 to 50 cents a pound.

Aloes is the Juice of the big fleshy leaves of the plant of that name. This juice Is pressed or evaporated from the leaves and poured into chests or kegs in a semifluid state, hardening presently Into a solid block.

PALLADIUM "A NT AOS. PAY,

district was no Happy Valley by any

means. There was a neignnornoou broil always on the coals at Westbrook

and one was stewing away when he put

in his application for the district

school. It was there that his patl

crossed that of Governor Morrill, who,

though only five years his senior, was

chairman of the district school board,

Thomas B. Reed passed the examina

tion and was engaged to teach the school for eight weeks, Governor Mor

rill signing the certificate. Objected to City Methods.

"Reed didn't get along very well

even at the first, because, as he said.

he undertook to Introduce city methods into a country school. He was very

strict. He insisted that lessons should

be learned and proper decorum observ

ed during school hours.

"When pupils made poor recitations he sent them back to their seats and kept them after school hours, laboring

with them long and earnestly. Mis

demeanors were visited with severe

condemnation also. I remember hear

ine Governor Morrill ask Reed if he

wasn't something of a czar when a

boy.

"'Oh. hang it,' Reed replied, 'what's the use of doing a thing unless you do it properly? I was there to teach tho

school. I was paid for. it and I in

tended to earn my money If I had to

fight every day.

"In describing one . particular en

counter which led to Reed's arraignment before the school board, he said

his attire was sadly rent and disor

dered and he looked to have been the

under dog in a fight. Reed Wen Out.

" 'But,' the former speaker added

with a twinkle In his eyes, 'the othsr

fellow didn't look very pretty either.

"The neighborhood row that was going on finally involved the district

school, and charges of czarism against

the teacher or something akin to it

were preferred against him. and he

was accordingly arraigned before the

school board. The battle waged a

whole day. Chairman Morrill of the school board, standing by the sturdy

youth to the very end.

"Night came on and Tom Reed

walked out of the board meeting a con

queror. With Morrill's help he had been able to count a majority In his

favor. He taught the school to the

end of the term and so well did he suc

ceed that he was engaged for a second

and a third winter, and he might have

gone on indefinitely had he not grad

uated with honors and gone beyond the narrow horizon that environed

Westbrook.

More than 25 years later Tom Reed

and Mr. orrill were In congress together and the boyhood friendship was re

established. Naturally, when Mr

Reed's ambition to become speaker of the Fifty-first congress became known, among his most ardent supporters was

Governor Morrill of Kansas, together

with the rest of the state's delegation. During his lifetime Governor Mom!!

frequently talked of the ' Intimate friendship which existed between him and Mr. Reed. This was proven when

Reed was chosen speaker. He had it in his power to reward Morrill for his kindness to a struggling school teacher in the early days at Westbrook. : He

WESTERN BUSINESS MEN ANX

IOUS TO RETURN COURTEOUS TREATMENT EXTENDED AMERICANS IN JAPAN.

Spokane, Wash., April 10. Fifty

members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Japan, including fifteen trade experts and representatives

of the commercial .organizations- at

YokohamaT'Kobe, Tokyo, Osaka and

Kyoto, will be guests of the chambers

of commerce of Spokane, Tacoma,

Seattle and Portland early next Sep

tember on a visit to these cities and

an ocean-to-ocean excursion on a special train. The party is to make

stops in practically every prominent

commercial, financial and industrial center between the Pacific ocean and

Long Island sound and the International boundary and the Gulf of Mexi

co. , v '

Route of the Tour.

"The trip probably will be through

the northern tier of states as far as

the Great Lakes," said Frederick E.

Goodall, president of the Spokane

chamber of commerce, in making the

formal announcement, "and after vis

iting Chicago, New York, Boston and other cities in the eastern and New

England states, the party will stop off

at Baltimore. Philadelphia, Washing

ton. Pittsburg and other cities, going

thence through the southern states

and zig zagging back through Ohio,

Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kan

sas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Oregon. The trip Is to oc

cupy from 60 to 90 days, depending

upon the length of the stay in the

east."

To Return Courtesy. The purpose of the receptions at

Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Portland and the transcontinental excur

sion are to make official recognition

of the many courtesies extended to

the delegates from Washington and Oregon at the trade conference in the chief cities of Japan last fall, and to

show what the various centers in the United States offer to Japan in a trade way, also to establish and main

tain closer commercial relations between this country and the Land of the Rising Sun.

New York. April 10. At this season

of the year, with eggs leading the bat

ting order at every breakfast table, and In a great many homes playing three

games a day, it seems particularly ap

ropos that Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich Egg. of No. 10$ West Eighty-first street, should ask Supreme Court Justice

O'Gonnan for permission to "lay" Egg aside and substitute Eck. They gave

so many eggcelent reasons that Justica

O'Gorman granted the request and set

April 29 as the date on which they

might tear off their present shells. Then they will be dropped Eggs. Most persons get tired of eggs about Easter, but when you use the same Egg for 34 years, as Egg has done, it Is bound to become monotonous. Mi's. Egg has been wearing the name about three years, and she admited yesterday she was only waiting for the opportunity to scramble out from under it. Not that their friends have grown tired of the Eggs, but the Eggs feel that they have furnished the comedy for their friends just about long enough. Both are perfectly good Eggs, but say they are almost cracked from listening to the feeble jokes cracked at their expense. Egg in the Restaurant Business. Each has a sense of humor and this is the only thing that has prevented them boiling over on more than one oc

casion. It didn't help matters any io have Egg in the restaurant business, and in his petition to the court asking

for permission to shed his name he set forth a list of annoyances, which proves that he has Job looking like a

nervous bridegroom at a church wed

ding. Mrs. Egg presides over the fashionable dressmaking establishment at No. 5GG Fifth avenue, and she couldn't recall a single Instance where

her name had helped her any. She

is a handsome woman and laughed merrily while her husband discussed

the situation.

"I've been in hot water ever since

I've had the name," said Egg.

"Then you must be hard boiled by

this time," said the reporter.

"I'm done on both sides all right;

laughed Egg. "In Switzerland, where we come from, the name Is pronounced

Eck, and besides it has a different

meaning."

How did you come to marry your

husband?" Madame Egg was asked.

I was always fond of Eggs," she

said, "and I guess that had something

to do with it"

I'm pretty much of a nest egg," was

Egg's next contribution. Here h

wife gave her Egg a nudge that threat ened to break It.

"Are there any small Eggs?" asked

the reporter, joining in the cackle.

"Not yet," came in chorus. "Guess

if we did have three or four children we'd be known as the half dozen Eggs." "I think I had better beat it," said the reporter, "before I'm whipped to a froth." "Won't you have a little refreshment before you go?" asked the boss of the house. "If It's all the same to you, I'll have sherry and egg," said the reporter. "Make' nine an egg shake," laughed Mads EggTJbf.you think you're going to like your new name?" "It will be hard getting used to it for awhile, but anything is better that Egg. I tried the new one on sever, friends today, and they thought I had the hiccoughs." v."' After wishing Mr. and Mrs. Eck as much prosperity under their new name as they have had under the old one, the reporter withdrew, feeling as though he had been poaching on their good nature. They live in a fine brownstone "crate" and have the confidence of all their neighbors, which is moie than some eggs can boast. Just one paragraph from the petition to the court nnswers Shakespeare's query as to what's in a name: That his present name of Egg caus

es him and his wife a great deal of

trouble and annoyance and humilia

tlon among his and her friends and acauaintances: that would-be facetious

friends and acquaintances invariably

ask him after they are well enough ac

quainted with him, whether he is hard

or soft boiled, or fried, or scrambled, or whether he is fried on one side or

both sides, or whether he is only vu omelet.

"That those acquaintances who have since become enemies usually refer to

him as good, bad or rotten, with dif

ferent inflections, according as they desire, to be Ironical or brutally

frank."
