As (message came from the battle he glanced at it hurriedly, hut Jose scrutiny, and then handed 'the group of breathlessly waitatchers. , . was no sleep in Washington Jght. No one seemed to be the dawn broke and the first f the sun illuminated the great "f the capitol, the vigil continuInally, when reports began to the l nion army and the crisis d past, the president rose from pah and strode from the room Jt comment. ^he company of 10 who watched |>e shoulders of Lincoln disthrough the doorway after :tefu| night, the boy of 15 who t>|‘d the drama is probably the still living. He is Colonel W. Mercer, who for the past two s made his home in I’ortland. to that he spent many years tie ranch just north of Eugene, as also an eye witness to inin American history which to lunation are hidden by the haze s. He has had intimate contact hrp e presidents—Lincoln, Mcand Roosevelt. In informal conhe uses the first names of s whose deeds enliven the history.

book of adventure, lomance and achievement. Most valued to him of all his recollections is that of the Gettysburg address. When Lincoln rode from Washington to Gettysburg Mercer rode in the same railway coach. At the cemetery where the famous address was made he stood within 30 feet of the president. Of the hundreds of times the colonel saw Lincoln he never appeared so forlorn, so sad, as upon this occasion. “Heart-sick and weaiy from the ravages of war, the president sat listlessly on the platform, eyes downcast and shoulders drooped under the soiled linen duster which he wore, awaiting the conclusion of Edward Everett’s eloquent address, the very eloquence of which added to his moroseness” says Colonel Mercer. “People cheered loud and long when Flverett brought his two-hour address to a dramatic conclusion, but when Lincoln had sai l those few words of the Gettysburg address there was nothing but silence, which he mistook as an indication that his speech was a failure.” Born in Greencastle, Ind., October 30, 1846 the son of a Methodist frontier circuit rider, the channel of William Mercer’s life flowed naturally toward the ministry. At the age of 15 he was within a few weeks of graduation and ordination from Asbury university, since named DePauw when his father, fearing his son might run away, as many of his classmates were doing, and enlist in the army, sent him to Washington, where he attended school for eight months under the guardianship of an uncle. It was because the uncle was an aide-de-camp to one of Lincoln’s -taff officers that young Billy Mercer came into close contact with high officials at Washington. When President Lincoln issued his second call for 300,000 troops, Mercer was successful in gaining his mother’s consent to enlist. He was then just 16. He laughingly tells of th< minor Wound he received during the following years in which he saw active service every day. “Bullets ripped through my pack and blankets tore holes in my hat and injured my horse under me, but when an old ‘spit ball’ smashed out flat 1 against the pummel of my saddle and fell into the yawning bootleg which my leg did not by any means fill, it burned a water-blister which I will never forget,” he says. His army life ended when the march with Sherman from Atlanta to the sea in addition to the rigots of the proceeding two year-, proved too much for a mere boy and he was sent tc Washington a c< f valescent. Colonel Mercer, is a familiar figure it the Oregon state capitol. F'or eight years he was chaplain and sergoant-it-arms of the senate anil for 16 years lid not miss one session of that body. He is the author of Oregon's present election law and fathered the idea of condensed records of the proceedings of both houses.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19. (UP)— Flappers of 1929 may not wear a ton of clothes but the few ounces they do wear are kept clean, in the opinion of Clifford "Happy” Goldsmith, of the Cleanliness Institute of New York. Goldsmith will deliver a series of talks in Indianapolis this week under the auspices of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association. “The modem girl depends upon absolute immaculateness for that wellgroomed hok and what she does wear she keeps clean,” he believes.
