• & Four families —Adams, Harrison, Lee and Sherman —have had a peculiarly iargeshare in the making of the. American nation from its ginning, and for nearly 300 years they have given their country-many notable men and some great men. It also adds interest to the subject that of these four families, two — the Adamses and, Shermans—are of the,' North and the other two are • of the South, writes Dr. B. J. Cigrand in the Chicago Inter Ocean. lhe Adams family were among those who early evidenced their independent and patriotic spirit in New England, and in colonial times the distinguished orator, Samuel Adams, lent inspiration to the cause of colonial rebellion. John Adams was the studious and shunned lad at Harvard, but when Massachusetts wanted a real, earnest and worthy representative in the councils of the Continental Con stress they came to the Adams family, and thus made no mistake. Then, following in the footsteps of his worthy father, came the -son. f John Quincy Adams. As a tot 9 years old he imbibed the spirit of ’76 and as he grew to manhood understood the significance of both Declaration and Constitution. As a Minister to St. Petersburg and St. Janu s he Was recognized as among the most learned and cultured at those courts. The son of J. Q- Adams, Charles

Francis Adams. waS a noted lawyer, < ono- the Minister to England,.and later candidate for the Presidency. The son of this distinguished geijHeman. named after the sixth President, was a learned man and citizen of political importance; His brother. Charles ’• Fi-amis Adams was a gallant soldier in the civil war and was commissioned . a Bri-mdft>r General. The learned publicist. John Quincy Adams of Boston, come<bf this sturdy stock. The most remarkable item in their long list of services relates to membership of Congress. For more than 125 years the Adams family has represented the Quincy district in Congress. 'The Harrison family were originally of the “Old Dominion. better known as ‘'Mother of Presidents.” Benjamin Harrison was the intimate friend of Washingtons. Randolphs, Lees. Masons, Jeffersons and Madisons. He was a brilliant scholar and a member of the Continental Congress. He was three times Governor Os Virginia- Like the Adamses, we find their name in the Declaration of Independence. The son of Benjamin, William Henry Harrison, was 10 years old when Cojnwallis surrendered. The atmosphere of all Virginia was surcharged wita military, patriotism, and the youthful Harrison, resolved to.be in the saddle. He hoped to be a mat. on horseback. His education and entire career shaped itself by the sword. In 1800 he was made Governor of this, vast -territory, and he distinguished | himself in the Indian wtjrs and the second war with Great Britain. He was appointed commauder-in-chief -of the Northwest; he was chosen a Rcpie serifative "hen peace was declared, then Senator from Ohio, and later eler vated to’the Presidency. Robert 11. Harrison, a candidate for the Presideney in 178|i. was of this stock., and was noted for his learning and patriotism. Benjamin Harrison, grandson of the niujth President, organized a-regi-ment for the eV?il war, was made Colonel. and after a daring, .courageous career was made Brigadier General. We next see him in the .United States Senate. He refused a place in the Garfield cabinet, and in 1888 was elected to the Presidency. At a time when the French and English were battling for supremacy in the Western world, we fiijd Richard Henry Lee raising a regiment and offering the same to the British General Braddock. .Later, when the sentiment for freedom from Great Britain took possession of the Virginians. it was Richard Henry Lee who was chosen to go to the Continental Congress an<? introduce the resolution that the colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent of,Great Britain. Orders were sent to the A irginia royal Governors that “this man Lee must be captured, dead or alive: this rebel . must be found.” This illustrates how valuable he was to the, colonial cause His brother was Francis Lightfoot Lee.- Then came Arthur Lee, also a member of a later Continental Congress, and a‘ committee to draft th*> great seal of the. United States. Henry Lee. the daring cavalry officer of ; the revolution; came of this sterling people.

HEN the spectacle was. presented recently in Nyack, N.

Spangler, it was by no means the first time that human credulity had bugti thus tested. Dates have often been set for the “enA of the. world." the first recorded prophecy of the kind being that of the bishop of Hippo

w

' in the year 305. Since then there has Ihh'ii no ejid of prophets and prophecies, but no movement of the sort ever created suet widespread excitement or attained so great a number of "believers as that of William Miller in 1813 and - 1844. ... William Miller was Ix>ru >n Pittsfield. Mats., in 1752. His father was a. captain in the revolutionary war. On his mother's side he was a descendant of Klnathan Phelps, a noted clergyman. At the outbreak of the war of 181 U he sc-rved in the field ai® was promoted to be captain at Plattsburg. After the war. he removed to Low Hampton, N. Y. At this time he was an aq,mirer of Hume, Voltaire and Tom Paine, but he was converted in the Baptist church and took up the study of the Bible with the zeal of a fanatic. Finally he becsygue convinced that lie had been given the key to the mystery of the • 4 prophecies foretelling the end of ttie world. In IS3I. after he had spent years in pondering the revelations, he decided to warn a doomedworld that the end was near. He had figured out that some time between March 21. 1843, and March 21, 1844, Jesus wofild appear in person to judge the world. 1 When the fateful day in March, 1843, came and went without the prophet's prediction being realized, be came to the conclusion that he had made an error in his calculations as between the Roman and Jewish calen- . dar. and the time was set for the following year. Among the Millerites all '“‘business was suspended, storekeepers freely gave away muslin for ascension robes and the throjigs gathered In the fields to sing and pray, while groups of unbelievers disturbed the gatherings with decayed eggs and toy torpedoes. The culmination of the fanaticism came on the appointed day. Some of the Millerites claimed that Christ had actually come, though invisible, and had closed the door of mercy to sinners. Although he made no further effort to fix the time, Miller continued to preach the speedy coming of Christ. In April, 1845, be called a convention of his followers, and a declaration of faith was agreed upon and the name “Adventists” was adopted. Prof. Edmund Scribner Stevens did not prophesy that the earth would' “be destroyed, but he did announce: “Old geographical lines will disappear, . dynasties will crumble, new states will rise. Established religions will fade away, except Christianity, and social forms will be revolutionized. Cities will be laid in ruins, mountains will be torn asunder, parts of continents will vanish and new lands will rise out of the sea.” Then there was Prophet Gustave Meyer Os Hoboken, who teld the world that the Czar of Russia would be assassinated last year. He also had grave fears for President Roosevelt’s life and hinted that New York'would have some disastrous fires.

comment. If the presidential succession act had been in force in 1795 a Charles Lee of Virginia would have been eligible to the Presidency. General Robert Edmund Lee distinguished himself in the Mexican war and held high position at West Point. The Lees of to-day are in the Federal’ and State regiments, and none more eagerly attest their patriotic support of the Union than these sons of the South. During the Tennessee exposition a Captain Loe Was delegated to act as guard of the'Declaration of Independence while oil exhibition. And when the battleship Maine was destroyed in the harbor of Havana it was General Fitzhugh Lee who displayed unusual courage and diplomacy as our Consul in rescuing the living and giving military burial to our dead naval boys. The Sherman family is of pure English stock and the American family begins with the arrival in 1634 at Watertown, Mass., of the Rev. John. Samuel. Captain John, and Philip. They all came from Essex, where the family was one of substance and standing—at Dedham stands the Sherman free school, founded in 1599. by Edmond Sherman, the father of Rev. Jolie and Samuel, The descendants of the Rev. John have been reputable rather than noted, farmers in tin* earlier generations, ami to-day tending to the law and literary work. Samuel was the progenitor of John and William Te- ■ eumseh' Sherman. Captain John’s line gave us Roger Sherman and many less ■ famous men. like William M. Evarts. George F. Hoar and Chauncey M. Depew. From Philip is descendeil James Schoolcraft Sherman. Easily the greatest of the blotjd and one of the most remarkable men this country ever produced is Roger Sherman. His position in American .history is unique, in* that ,he took part in the .making of four. great national documents —the stepping stones of our formative period: The declaration of rights, the Declaration of Independence, the articles of confederation, and the constitution. Os much the same type as Roger Shermdn was John Sherman. His 'public career, which is familiar to the present generation, extended for more than forty-three years, during which he was a member of the House and Senate. Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary-of State. Roger Sherman and John Sherman may become mere legends, but no such fate can overtake the name of William Tecumseh Sheiman. For. the great Rebellion will never be forgotten, anty to think of the great Rebellion is to think of Sherman. “Sherman’s march to the sea” ranks with the great military successes of history, and -‘Marching Through Georgia” will be a familiar air so long as the? last brass band survives. Peculiarly enough, the families of Adams, Harrison, Lee and Sherman were present at the birth of liberty on July 4. 1776, and/these four families 1 coincidentally were together when the foundation of our republic was planted ; in; the constitution of the United States. The families, are unquestionably great and still possess the elements and. qualities to carry onward and forj ward the spirit, impulse and noble aspirations of their praiseworthy anL cestors. . c *. ..

Why have the Hens _ Jone on a Strike ? Sjißl

feemarkab/e /d /be ess crop jd a// of /be coG/n/ry. ' The American hen has - gone on a strike. The union has called her off the nest and has ordered that she shall . not return until certain awful terms have been acceded to. It was recently announced that they were paying -86 cents a dozen for eggs in Boston and that the dealers were offering 55 cents a dozen in New York for the strictly ! fresh fruit of the hennery. •Why don’t I bring eggs?" said a farmer to a St. Louis commission man

“Pretty question to ask a feller. Better go and ask, my hens why they don i lay no eggs. This time, last year? Well, I reckon I know what 1 was bringiu’ in this time last year. I ain t forgot. Ive got upwards of 3,000 hens and I'm lucky to get twenty eggs a day. We don't eat none of ’em. and 1 supply a hospital that’s been takin’ fresh eggs of me for ten year. I can’t go ba’ck on that contract, and it takes every egg we can coax out o’ the lazy critters, just to keep the hospital goin’. This time last year it took all our time to gather and crate the eggs. This yqar it takes.all our time chasin' the hens to try aiid make-l.em fay. A good many poultry raiseys did not have the feed to use during the summer, when chickens ought to be foraging for themselves, ajid the crop was so poor that there was not much on hand for the winter, so they just sold off their stock, and now they haven’t the hens. Poultry has been very plentiful this pa#>t season, and that is partly what makes eggs so scarcje. The egg crop was short last fall, and the long dry spell had something to do with it, was the verdict. Th,e industrious hen, wh§n she really gets down to business, is a factor to be reckoned with in the economics of the country. From a recent report the information is forthcoming that in 1007 the sales of chickens, feathers - and eggs in the United States amounted to $800,000,000. , Spell it out and contemplate it. Why, beside the American hen, Rockefeller is a pauper. Fully one-half of that appalling sum was for eggs. The ordinary consumption of fresh eggs in a city the | size of St.'Louis is 1,500 cases a day. That is 45,000 dozens of eggs, and that does not take into account the cold storage eggs, to which the commission men refer with, a supercilious sniff of the nose. Eggs are put in cold storage chiefly during the months of April and May. " . . /

COUPLE REUNITED __ 1 AFTER FORTY YEARSThere Is a lore which grows cold as soon as the embers are unfanned by emotion. There is another love which lives on and on and keeps warm through years of separation and vicissitude. This last is the kind of love which has tinallyMilessed two lives, by i causing to be united in marriage Jaeob Lewis, of Shelby, 0., and Mrs. Jennie Cole, of Hicksville, O. Forty years ago this couple were lov- !. ers. They seldom were seen apart, i They went to the same schools ami the same church. They were always together at pienicS; and parties. T!i“read the same books and enjoyed the same pursuits. They became engaged and plans for the marriage were on foot, when suddenly there came a misunderstanding. Words were| hastily spoken, but n»t to be so hastily forgiuteii. There came recrimtnations a d reproaches. Then there was a i;:<t meeting, when the girl, white-faced, but determined! returned to the b<>y the ring which had meant so much to them both. He took. it- quietly, turned on his heel, and left her. Not long after the girl met another man who asked her to be his wife. Torn by a hundred emotions, she accepted him. and they were married. The boy. desperate. gave his hand and name to another woman. For years life in the two homes moved on. happy after a fashion, but always shadowed by lit vague r<>gr : whicit needed only thought to l»< • • something more poignant. Then death intervened. ' The girl—a woman now. a teuii>ertxl by suffering and sweetened by the experiences of marriage and motherhood, became a widow. Shortly afterward the wife of the boy—now a man—-was taken away. Still these two who-had once loved’so dearly did not meet. v Then one dhy Mrs. Cole went to Defiance. 0.. on a shopping trip.
