"Twenty miles as the crow flies, responded the native. "H'hl You mean as the mud fliew I am going by automobile.'' Congressman W. S. Holman of In diana When a Judge Determined to Assume the Task of Guard ing the National Treasury. T ncuestionably th* most famous of all the so-called "watch dogs" of the I nited States treasury has hai in the 1H1 years of Its existence was the late ^ illiam Steele Holman of Indiana, with the exception of eight years Dem ocratic representative in congress from 1S59 till his death, In 1897. So great were his "watch dog” qualities that for more than a generation he tk as known from one end of the coun try to the other not only as 'The watch dog of the treasury." but also as “the great objector,” and in these two appellations his fame lies. “Well, In time I -was sent to con i press, and 1 had been there but one j term when I became convinced that j there was gross extravagance !n the I ’rational appropriations Then I began ; to investigate a little, and pretty soon I made up my mind that the majority of the appropriations were anywhere : from ten to fifty per cent, larger than \ they should be That excess represent- , ! ed waste, careless waste. It wasn't my understanding of good, old-fashioned j Democratic doctrine, ar.d I made up my mind that it was my duty to mv constituents and my country to take upon myself—since no one else, appar ently. would—the onerous task of watching appropriations from the ' standpoint of plain, simple living. “I realized that the pledge I made | to myself to do this would cost me , some friends, and that occasionally I I should have to resist many personal i importunities. But I have kept that | pledge from that day to this, and in ! doing so the government has been saved millions of dollars that would otherwise have been wasted. “That is all there is to It; you see, my motive ail along has been a very simple one. And I am so well con vinced that what I have done has One evening, in the middle eighties. I called upon him by invitation at his modest W ashington home. He was seated at a somewhat dingy desk, evi dently the working desk of a student. Around him was a veritable encyclo pedic library, offering him every pos sible help In his sell-appointed task of tracing a proposed governmental appropriation form its source and ana lyzing it down to the most insignifi cant item. It was plain to be seen that he took a real delight in his workshop, as from behind steel bowed spectac.es and from beneath bushy eyebrows he keenly scrutinized an ap propriation bill that lay before him on the desk. “Judge." 1 said, after a time, “how did it happen that you got into the habit of becoming a treasury "watch dog," as most people put it?" The old gentleman—he was then past sixty years of age—looked medi tatively at the open grate fire for a moment. “I think." he began slowly, “this habit of mine—It is a very fixed habit by this time—is very likely due to my experiences as a judge. Ton know, I was elected a Judge in my younger days in my home county and served in that capacity for some vears. I was conscious of my deficiences for that exalted position, for 1 was quite young, and, 1 will confess to you. had not had very thorough preparation for the practise of law when I was ad mitted to the bar. But I had been trained as an old-fashioned Democrat, and the fundamental principle of the Democracy of my youth was to resist extravagance and constantly to incul cate plain and simple living As a judge I decided 1 would do all I could to uphold this principle and so 1 got in the habit of carefully examining all accounts presented to me for approval, scrutinizing every detail minutely. Greeley’s Secret Ambition Famous Editor Earnestly Wanted to Match the Record of Benjamin Franklin by Servng as Post master Genera!. One of the historic announcements made during the exciting political days a few years prior to the outbreak of the Civil war was that hy Horace Greeley, then the powerful editor of the New York Tribune, to the effect that the political firm of Seward. Weed & Greeley had been dissolved by the withdrawal of the junior part ner. The announcement was a sensation in the best meaning of the term. “What!” exclaimed the politicians. “Horace Greeley at odds with William H. Seward and Thurlow Weed* 'Why, that was the combination which cre ated the Republican party In New York state. It made Seward senator, and it was planning to make him pres ident." There were all sorts of explanations as to the cause of the withdrawal of the junior partner, but Greeley him self never explained. Finally, It be came to be assumed that he had quar reled with Senator Seward and Thur law Weed, and this surmise became a settle conviction when Greeley en tered the Republican national conven tion nt 1860 as a delegate. by proxy, from th»- state of Oregon. and earnest ly oppose-! the nomination of Seward tor president. Many years after this convention had passed tnto historv—in fact, after Horace Greeley himself had b**eome a badly defeated candidate for presl dent—Mr Weed met Montgomery Biair. who was postmaster general in Lincoln's cabinet. The conversation turned m>an Horace Greeley and his nomination and defeat for the presi dency "Mr. Weed." ashed one of the party, “did you ever know the reason why Mr. Greeley announced the dissolo tion of the famous political firm of Seward. Weed & Greeley bv the with drawa! of the junior partner?" “I ne\cr knew" replied Mr. Weed. “I have tried time and again to de clde for myself what occasioned that breach in our long-time friendship. It is the one great mystery ©t my eR tire political career." “Well. 1 thick I can tell you the reason" spoke up Mr. Blair. “At least I will tell you the reason as I have he.'.rd it from a source very close to Mr Greeley. ’ You know that they have some times called Mr Greeley "Our late* Franklin.* “ ’Yes.' Interrupted Mr. Weed, and I have always thought that Mr Gree^ ley at one time was a little vain of the fancied facial resemblance be tween himself and Franklin * “Well.” continued Mr. Blair. “Frank lin was a printer, and so was Greeley Franklin was a great postmaster pen erul in the days before our present government was established. an.! Gree ley. for many years, had a secret an* hition to match the record of Benja min Franklin in that resoect by serv ing as postmaster peneral. He wouM like to have been t*ostniaster peneral in President Taylor's cabinet. But be was not. as you know, nor was he ever asked to accept any important office, never holding any office, tr. fact except when he served a brief term In congress to fill a vacate; caused by death He thought that all the political honors were going to Seward, he got tired of that, and so. finally be dissolved the all-powerful “olttV-al firm of Seward. M eed * Greeley by withdrawing from it.” For a moment Mr Weed looked the astonishment he felt. "I never knew that. I never even dreamt ft." he said, slowly, as if to himself. “I thought he had come to the same determina tion respecting public offiet that 1 had—never to accept any. Why. gen Demon. If we bad suppose*! tha* Hon ace Greeley was anxious to hold office we should have fairly crushed him w ith offers. And to think that he kept this secret from ns all those years, when to get office he had but to iatf mate what he wanted. Now.

The Thrush, he elected to make a brief visit to Quebec. On the Sunday morning of his ar rival in the old French capital a party of Americans, including General James Grant Wilson, went &t an early hour, and bet ore service began, to St. An drew's church, the oldest Church of England edifice in Quebec. Through the historic little cemetery that lies about the church the party wandered. Finally near the grave of Thomas Scott, who was Sir Walter Scott's brother, one id the party tound a four leaf clover and handed it to General Wilson, who declared his intention of sending it to the descendants of Sir Waller Scott. Then the genera! an nounced that he would leave the party. devoutly, in all the responses and the hymns that were sung He paid close attention to the reading of the les son and when the short and si tuple sermon teas preached he bowed his head reverently and unostentatiously at every prayer; and when, finally .the service had been brought to Its cu» ■ ternary close, he and his companion, waiting their turn to leave their pew, joined in the congregation as it de parted from the church, and once out side walked leisurely In the- direc tion of the harbor front An hour or two later General Wil son met his friends at their hotel. He seemed somewhat disturbed. “1 did not see the duke, as I had planned,” he explained. "Everybody v.s disappointed. He did not attend rciigious services this morning." Yes, he did." was the reply of Y.'.omas H. James, former postmaster i general under Garfield. He attend ed services at St Andrew's church. He came in shortly after us and was I shown to a pew right in front of us 1 recompiled him instantly, having been introduced to and having chatted with him in Montreal a few days ago: and once during the service he turned and saw me and gave me a smile of recognition. Of all that congregation about him I was probably the only : person who knew the heir presume five to the British throne was a fel low-worshiper. 1 am sure that the “I must hasten, too," he added, "be cause I am anxious to secure a good seat in the cathedral. The duke of York, who has just arrived in the city, is to attend services there at 11 o'clock, and I want to get a good view of the possible future ruler of ring land.” With General Wilson on nts way to the cathedral, the other members of the party lingered in the cemetery un til the bell of St. Andrew's called them to worship. Presenting them selves at the door, they were shown to a pew off the center aisle about half way from the chancel. They had hardl> got eomior.ably seated when the same usher w ho had escorted asm showed two young men into the vacant pew immediately la front of them. And jus: as the usher had displayed courtesy towards the Americans, so he treated the two new arrivals, who. according to custom in the Church of England, knelt for a brief space in silent prayer before settling themselves in their pew. A few moments later the ehoir and clergy entered the church In solemn procession, and all through the reg ular service that followed the elder appearing of the two quiet-mannered young men in front of the American party joined quietly, but none the less usher who showed him to h!s pew did ! not know it. Nor. evidently, was the rector any wiser. And lust as he came quietly and unannounced and un j identified into St. Andrew s, so at the ! end of the service, the duke w ith his i companion, left It."
