MEMORIES OF SENATOR CULL0M Anecdotes of Presidents l.lncola, Johnsoa, lleveiond, Harrison nil Itoosevelt Noted lie. hind tbp Scenes. Senator Shelley M. Cullom of Illinois pulls back the curtains from a perspec tive of public life extending hack to war times and tells about the leading figures in the scenes, of which he was a part, In his book of recollections brought out by A. C. McClurg A Co., Chicago. Sena tor Cullom Is now 82. IU has been In public life or close to It all his man hood life, and a politician all the time. At might be expected Ids recollections of men and events cover a long stretch of time and abound with characteristic anec dotes. In Ids' relations with IJneoln. Cullom discovered that the martyred president was something of a politician himself. For Instance, Just' before Lincoln's re nomination, In 1864, Cullom. who was a strong Lincoln man, found In his frame up of the situation that It looked prettv luid for the president. Bo be Went to the White House and told tho 'resident what ho bad discovered that In this and that locality the whole sentiment was against him. la't hhn tell in his own words how he discovered that Lincoln was a hetter politician than be was: " 'Well, It Is not unite so bad as that.' be said. He took down his directory and 1 soon discovered that he had a far more Intimate knowledge of the situation than i had. Ilu bad every one marked, knew how ho aiood, and the list made a belter showing than 1 bad expected." Lincoln, In fact, was an Incomparable politician and never left anything to chance. "He was reminded," says Cullom. "of a llltlo slory. A couple of Irishmen enme to America and started out to foot Into the country. They traveled along until they came to a piece of woods. They thought they heard a noise, but did not know what It was. They deployed to either sldo of the rosd to find out, bu1, were unatue to do so, und flmtllv one called to the other: Tat. Fat, let s go on; this Is nothing but a dommed noise." " Anil' .loll n son's Time, One of the strungest stories told by Cullom Is about how tieorge H. Hout well, In other respects a sane man, "firmly believed President Johnson to have been a conspirator in securing the assassination of Mr. Lincoln." Against Johnson Cullom pits "Old Ben Wado" of Ohio, the candidate of tho radicals for tho presidency of which they proposed to rob the man duly chosen for It by tho people. Cullom himself was an anti-Johnson man; yet be ia pleased that Hie conspiracy to place Wade In the White House failed. "Than Wade," lays be, "there was 110 more unsafe man in either house of con gress." The plot to drive Johnson out and put Wade In waa unquestionably en gineered by the great revolutionist, Thaddeua Stevens. Wade at first was for Johnson. "John 011," said ho. In hla first Interview with the president, "we have faith In you. By the gods, there will bo no more trouble lit running the government." Wade must have meant that the trouble they had bad with Lincoln would now disappear. When ho found that the new president was bent on carrying ou't Lln- ioIu'b policy this confidence disappeared "There were," says Cullom, "two strik ing points In Johnson's character, aud I knew hi in well. First, his loyalty to the Union and, second, hla utter fearlessness of character. He could not be cowed; old Hen Wade, Sunlner, Stevens, all Hie great leaders of that day, could not through fear Influence him one particle." In 1.161, when thu Confudeiates threat ened him, the ono southern senator who was loyal to the I'nlon, Johnson, had said this, which Cullom declares the key to his charucter: "I want to say, not boastlngly, with no anger In my bosom, that these two eyes of mine have never looked upon anything In the shape of mortal man that lb s heart has learcd." Keiialor Hoar's I'artlnar Knot. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts ho calls "the most cultivated man In the senate." When Hoar opposed the taking of the Fhlllpplnea Cullom Irritated him greatly by attacking him, and Hoar came to il in and said that "If three-fourths c( the 1 topic of his state were not In har mony with his position lio would resign." Kindly as he was, Cullom saya Hoar "be came very Ill-natured with his republican colleagues" who supported expansion. But, looking back on It all ten years later, Cullom candidly says, "1 do not know but that the passing of time has demonstrated that Senator Hoar was right In his opposition to acquirement of the riiillpplnes, but at the (Inie. It seemed tiiat the burden was thrust up us, and wo could not shirk It." When Roosevelt was completing the rape of l'anama, he sent for Hoar to induce that senator to support him. Cul lom waa present. The president wanted Hoar to read the message he had pre pared, and he explained I1I4 position to Hoar "in his usual vigorous fashion,' trying to get the senator's attention to the message. Senator Hoar seemed averse to reading It, but finally sat down and without seeming to pay any parlicu lar attention to what he was perusing, he remained for a minute or two, then arose and tald: " 'I hope I may never live to see the day when the Interests of my country arc placed above Its honor.' "He at once retired from the room without uttering another woid, proceed Lug t) tho capltol. i.aier in ine morning ne came to 111c with a typewritten paper containing the conversation between the president and himself, and asked me to certify to its I I GAL XOTICKH.

I have never seen or heard cf the paper since." Fuller's Close Call. Cullom tells the story of the narrow escape Melville W. Fuller bed when I'res Idcnt Cleveland nominated him for chief Justice of the l.'nited States. The senate was republican, and, of course. It was not possible to prevent the nomination and appointment of a democrat; hut Senator Edmunds, then the leader of the senate, had set his heart on the appoint ment of Edward J. l'helps of his own state, and when Fuller's nomination came In he was outraged, and determined to defeat It. In executive session he at tacked Fuller "most viciously," says Cullom, as a copperhead In the civil war. Cullom hail already talked with Cleve land and had strongly Indorsed Fuller. He had in his desk a ropy of a speech l'helps had made during the war "at tacking Mrs. Lincoln In the most out rageous and undignified fashion." When Edmunds made his attack on Fuller's war record Cullom promptly arose anil read the l'helps speech, which was so much worse than anything Fuller had ever said that the republican leader was routed and Fuller confirmed "much." adds Cullom, with relish, "to tho chagrin and mortification of Senator Edmunds."

Cleveland, always auspicious of the motives of politicians, received the congratulation surlily and aald he had never had any intention of making the appointment. The conversation became strained, and finally Cullom lost his (empcr, and exclaimed: "I don't care a damn whether you ap point him or not, Illdgely'a a democrat, anyhow."

It chocolate creams wsr msde one at a time by hand the process would be slow and laborotis and expensive. As matter of fact they are mads In large numbers at once and with great rapidity by tha aid of simple but Ingenious machinery. There are first made a great number. thousands, of plaster cones exactly alike In slse and shape, and of the precise di mensions of the cream It Is desired to make. Home hundreds of these cones are attached in uniformly spaced rows on the under side of a board that Is maybe three feet long by a font and a halt or two feet wide the mould board- tin another board of precisely the same dimensions they build up a covering or layer of prepared starch, which Is levelled off perfectly flat on top and which In Its thickness depends on the also ot tha cream to be made In this operation; the layer ot starch may he an Inch, more or less, In thickness. This Is the starch board. v The mould board, with all those rows ot little cones or moulds projecting from Us under side. Is held In a mechanical con trivance over a liorlxontal endless belt, and now a little further away they place on this conveyor the starch board, whoso coating appears now with that smooth, flat, unbroken surface; but In a minute tho conveyor baa brought the starch board along tn a point where It la ex. actly under the mold board, and then me chanically the, mould board cornea down and presses Its hundreds ot moulds all at ones Into the coating on the starch board; which you see again a moment later, no longer presenting a smooth unbroken sur face but with, hundreds of uniformly spaced cavities. A Utile further along In the direction In which the starch board Is traveling you sea set crosswise of the conveyor belt and Just above It a tank which at ths bottom Is wedge shaped and from which, uniformly spaced across from side to side, project downward a largu numbor of abort little spouts. Ths tank Is kept filled Willi the cream material at this stage of such a con sistency that it will flow somewhat freely, apd now hers comes along moving steadily on the conveyor belt one of those startch boards full of exactly spaced rows of cavlttes, and tho Instant the first row comes under ths row of spouts tha spouts all open at once, while from each there flows Just cream enough to fill tha cavity under It. As ths starch board keeps moving so ths spouts keep oil filling the cavities row after row. Tho opening and closing of the spout is done by a nicely adjusted mechanism, timed to the movement of the starch board, which opens ths spout ths In stant the cavities begin to com under them and closes thsm Just at the In stant they pas beyond; there la no drip from row to row. Out from under the tank the starch board conies with sach and every cavity In every row full of cream; and then the board, Juat s It Is, goes to the drying room, where It remains for trohv twenty four to seventy-two hours for the creams to harden. Then, taken from the dry room, the board with the creams all still tn it I put put Into a contrivance that spills them all out Into another carrier tht carries tho cream along between camel' hair brushes, which blush off any par ticles of starch that may adhere to them, and then the creams are ready to go to tho dipping room to be dipped In cho colate.
