on the man who accomplished
f.n. j . a n is at years of age. His
father was wounded In the battle of Kene-

Mountain Landla. According to the usual
.,. , r.me to bar this historic
t.. u-- hum on tha day of tha
battle. As a matter of fa t ha did not see
the lleht until nearly two years aner uw
civil war had ended,
lint., tinriia ta ultureoue In app-ar

of the New York Sun. Ha was private

always been a warm friendship between
Qresham and the l-andia family. When
Judge Gretibam waa starting for Washing
ton to become secretary of state In. the
cabinet of a democratic president and asked
young Landts to go with him as private
secretary, Landla turned democrat and ac
cepted. He had practiced law in Chicago,
but clients were few and the chance of an
oftinal experience In the nation s capital
was too alluring to resist.
The State department woke up when
Landla came. Ills manner was new, his
style of address original, and his seeming
profundity was Intermixed with a humor
that left the uninitiated in doubt aa to
whether the young man was a Joker or
person of great depth.
Diplomatic Taaales.
There waa much Important work done In
tha State department while Landla was
tliere. The Cleveland policy to put back
Queen LUiuokalanl on the Hawaiian throne
waa undertaken, the Bering cVa arbitration
was on, tha Venezuelan boundary contro
versy with England waa conceived and
the Alltanca affair occurred. Many people
l ave forgotten the Alllanoa affair probably,
but It was a stirring question at the ttine.
The Alliance, an Amarc.lan passenger ves
sel, was overhauled by a Spanish gun.
boat wbon outside tha three mile limit of
Cubon Jurisdiction and searched on sus
picion of being loaded with munitions of
war (or the Cuban Insurgents. The gun
boat fired Ave shots to make the Altianca
pull H When the news got to this country
thero waa a great bubbub, a d a strong
I sentiment was developed In tavor of de
manding an apology from Spain.
It was said about that time that Landis
came near to "running" the State depart
ment. Secretary Qresham was too 111 to
come to the department and I'resldcnt
Cleveland had gone down the Potomac on
a duck hunting expedition. Mr. Cleveland
had failed to leave his address and there
was no wireless telegraphy In those dny.
Meanwhile the country cried out for action
in the, Alllahca case. Edwin 11 Uhl ot
Michigan was acting secretary of state. He
was all at sea as to what to do, but finally
yielding to the popular cry of "It there an
American In the Slate department?' ha
wrote a telegram to Hannls Taylor, the
United Statea minister at Madrid Instruct.
Ing Mr. Taylor to demand an apology ot
the Spanish government, and In accordance
with custom he signed It: 1'hl. aetlng."
By the merest accident Private Secretary
Landis saw the telegram before It waa sent.
He took tha responsibility of withdrawing
It from the department's telegraph op.
erator and hurried with It over to Mr.
Gresham. Under Landis' advice Mr.
Gresham scratched out "Uhle, Acting,"
and signed his own name. A few days
later this telegram got Into the newspapera
with Mr. Greaham'a name attached and tha
dying secretary of state was praised from
one end of the country to the othei. Ac
cording to Land!' view, the responsibility
was Greshara's and to him belonged the
credit. When Pr'ealdent Cleveland returned
home and learned what , had occurred ha
was furious. Ha declined to sanction the
demand (or an apology and redress and
it looked for a while as If he would haul
Lajidla over the coala.
News Leaks.
There were news leaks in the State de
partment in that stirring period. These
teaks disturbed Mr. Cleveland. The Im
portant information that Minister Willis at
Honolulu had been Instructed to put the
crown on Llliuokalanl's head again got Into
the newspapers before Mr. Willis received
hla instructions, and the news that the ad
ministration had demanded the recall of
Lorrln M. Thurston, the Hawaiian minister
at Washington, was printed prematurely.
When the newspapera got hold of the
Thurston incident Mr. Cleveland decided
i to do something. He made inquiry and
found that Landis was a frequent vlsttor
at the local prefca club. This excited hia
suspicion and be told Secretary Greaham
that Landis would have to go. Mr.
Gresham re&punJed that Landis was inno
cent and if Mr. Landis was dismissed Mr.
Cleveland would have to And a new secre
tary of state. Mr. Cleveland wouldn't have
It that way and both Gresham and Landis
remained. Aa a matter of fact. Landis was
entirely Innocent of any connection with
the Thurston story leak.
Later on Mr. Cleveland became attached
to the young private secretary and off. red
to send him to Venezuela aa minister. Hm
Landla has serii enough of diplomacy to
know It waa not to his liking and he de
clined. He preferred law and politics.
When Oresh&m died Landis went back to
Chicago to practice law. He formed a
partnership with Mr. Chi, who had been
ambassador to Germany after leaving the
State dtpurtmerit, and Fr.ink Jones, who
was first assistant postmaster general In
Mr. Cleveland's second administration.
Aa the youngest member of the tirm,
Landis was supposed to go out and get
business. After a while I.andis withdrew
from the partnership. He wa. asked us
to what hud happ.-iifd. "Oh, 1 Just called
In Uhl and Jones and discharged thorn,"
was his way of putting It. He was ulumj
about 30 years old then.
Law and Politics.
Two of JudgH Landis' brothers are
I Charles B. and Frederick. Chuilee Is a
member of congress from Indiana and
I Frederick served in the house for forty
years up to lust March. He was defeated
: In the election of 19o5. Another brother,
I Waller, Is the postmaster at San Juan,
'Porto Hlco. The remaining brother, John,
a physician, has neer In Id a federal of-
flee. After Landla was appointed a United
' State Judge, a man from Washington
J was introduced Ho him In Chlcutjo.
"Judge," said tut man,-"I know your two
I brothers who are 'n congress am y. ur
brother who Is postm-istcr In Pan Juan."
"An, yes," remarked JudKc Landis, "thev
are offlrel.Lld. rs; I am a luhllc servant."
Afttr his return to I'hKa.'o Judge I.andis

"Whdt'i; Kenesaw doing?" he aakrd.
"Oh, he's trying to get Frank Idn

"But Low den la a republican and Kene

In Muskogee, I. T., a negro who drlvea tha
street sweeper, has a Una bird dog. which
carries a lighted lantern In hit mouth.
The other night as he was crossing the
railroad track he stopped a minute to look
bacR and see If the sweeper was coming.
Being a dog of happy disposition he wagged
hla tall, and Incidentally his head wagged
at the same time." The switching crew aaw
the light moving and stopped their train.
