Brand Whitlock, who doubles as
mayor of Toledo and as a literary
man, had a Chicago career. He was a
reporter on the old Herald when Pete
Dunne and Charley Seymour were his
side-kicks. Charley Chapln was one
of his city editors.
Chapin is now city editor of the
Hew York Evening World, and this
•story was told to Whitlock lately by
a correspondent who had him under
Interviewing fire:
A new reporter had been hired on
the Evening World, and he went to
work on a Wednesday. The pay day
on the paper is Thursday. In the
course of a week, when the recruit re
ceived his first envelope, he found
that he was a day short. He went to
Chapln and complained, only to get
this:
"Oh, well, never mind. When I lire

Coffee and Tea When One Cannot
Digest Them.
A farmer says:
"For ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
caused by the use of coffee (Tea con­
tains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee), until I got so bad I had to
give up coffee entirely and almost give
op eating. There were times when I
could eat only boiled milk and bread
and when I went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
"I doctored steady and took almost
everything I could get for my stomach
In the way of medicine, but If I got
any better it only lasted a little while.
I was almost a walking skeleton.
"One day I read an ad for Postum
and told my wife I would try it, and as
to the following facts I will make affi
davit before any Judge:
"I quit coffee entirely and used Pos­
tum in its place. I have regained my
health entirely and can eat anything
that is cooked to eat. I have increased
1n weight until now I weigh more than
I ever did. I have not taken any medi­
cine for my stomach since I began
using Postum.
"My family would stick to coffee at
first, but they saw the effects It had
on me and when they were feeling
!ad they began to use Postum, one at
a time, until now we al! use Postum."

N the early days of May, 1775, more
than two score gentlemen wearing
powdered pigtails, silk stockings,
and wide-skirted coats, wended
their way on horseback or in cum­
bersome, comfortless coaches from
all sections of the country toward
the city of Philadelphia. They
were members of the Second Con­
tinental Congress, and they had a
right to their grave faces, for Lexington and Con­
cord had Just been fought, and all of them knew
the disgusting details of the old British law of
treason.
Among those men were two whose fates from
that time forward were to be linked in strange
fashion. One of them rode down from the north,
the other up from the south. The northerner
was a somewhat sour-visaged man, nearing the
age of forty, whose big wig and the legalistic
turn of his talk betrayed the fact that he was
a disciple of the then living Blackstone. Some­
what inclined to be irascible, censorious and
vain, he was yet a man of high public charac­
ter and pure private morals—a diluted Puritan,
viewing the world through the Puritan's sus­
picious and somewhtit jaundiced vision. It was
the second time that he had ridden down to
Philadelphia, for he had been a member of the
First Continental Congress, in which his
knowledge of affairs, patriotic convictions,
high courage and keen legal mind had given
him an honorable place.
The man who rode up from the south was
younger by seven years, slender of frame, with
freckled skin, curly red hair and hazel gray
eyes that betrayed a kindly yet withal a de­
termined spirit. Though a Virginia gentleman
of large means, he displayed a disposition to­
ward what in later days was called "demo­
cratic simplicity.** He brought with him a
reputation, for science, literature and a happy
talent for composition. It was whispered that,
In addition to the classics, he understood
Spanish, French, Italian, was learning German
and contemplated studying Gaelic that he
knew how to calculate an eclipse, plan a build­
ing, set a broken bone, try a lawsuit, and
danoe the minuet. Those of his fellow-mem­
bers who came to know him Intimately dis­
covered that he was, in addition, a most agree­
able and considerate companion, that he was
passionately fond of playing the violin, and
that occasionally he wrote poetry.
These men were John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson. They speedily became friends.
Adams wrote of his fellow-member: "He was
so prompt, frank, explicit and decisive upon
committees and in conversation that he soon
won my heart."
A year passed, and the revolt that was be­
gun to preserve our fights as Englishmen
ripened into revolution. The time came when
a separation that already existed in fact must
be formally recognized In name also. And
upon the roll of the committee of five named
to prepare the declaration of that fact to the
world stood the names of Thomas Jefferson
and John Adams.
Jefferson wrote the Immortal document, but
the task of defending it before the Congress
fell chiefly upon the doughty Adams. And well
did he perform it. "He was our Colossus on
the floor," wrote Jefferson in grateful acknowl­
edgement.
Unlike as Jefferson and Adams were in tem­
perament, training, and political Ideals, those
anxious days of association in a noble work
created a bond of sympathy that time nor all
the bitterness of party strife could not de­
stroy.
For some years, however, their paths lay
In different places. It was not until they rep­
resented their infant country at two European
courts that they were again thrown into close
association. When the Adamses visited Paris
In 1785 they were frequently entertained by
Jefferson, and the relations between the two
families were so friendly that Abigail Adams
wrote: "I shall really regret to leave Mr.
Jefferson he is one of the choice ones of
earth." Subsequently, in describing the diffi­
culties of her husband's position at an un­
friendly court, she said: "In Mr. Jefferson he
has a firm and faithful friend with whom he
can consult and advise They have un
limited confidence in each other."
Our twain were next brought into close
association In the administration of Washing­
ton—Adams as vice-president and Jefferson as
secretary of state. And then began an unfor­
tunate "rift within the lute."
Adams, though of rather plebeian birth, in­
clined to aristocracy he believed that the
rich, the well-born and the able" ought to
rule. Shabbily as he had been treated while
minister at the court of St. James, he sympa­
thised with monarchical Britain in her strug-
gle with republican France. Jefferson, though
of axlstocratlc lineage, was not an aristocrat.
"Equal rights to all, special privileges for
none'*—a longer name for "the square deal"—
was his political creed. Not for the sake of
"It is one of the tricks of memory
that, while we recall with vividness
those who preceded us in college,
those who followed do not stand forth
in sharp outline against the receding
past," said Senator Lodge. "The old
«r men come out clearly defined upon

W
But time works great changes, Jefferson's
administration, especially during the first few
years, proved so successful that most Federal­
ists turned Republicans. Though he had bit­
ter enemies who even plotted the formation of
a "Northeastern Confederacy," they were not
numerous enough to figure largely In the elec­
tion returns. After all, Adams hated Hamilton
and his satellites far more than he hated Jef­
ferson. His son, John Qulncy Adams, unable
to swallow such British outrages as that com­
mitted by the "Leopard" on the "Chesapeake,"
severed his relations with the feeble remnant
of the pro-British Federalists and became a
Republican. When Timothy Pickering pub­
lished a pamphlet arraigning the administra­
tion, John Adams replied to it, thus appearing
as a supporter of Jefferson's policy.
In 1804, Jefferson lost his "ever dear daugh­
ter," Mary. "I, of my want," he wrote sadly,
"have lost even the half of all I had. My
evening prospects now hang on the slender
thread of a single life."
The news proved too much for great-hearted
Abigail Adams. Without her husband's knowl­
edge, she wrote Jefferson a letter of con­
dolence, In which kind feeling, goodness of
heart and a proud, unforgiving spirit were
curiously commingled.
Jefferson's reply was that of a noble man
to a noble woman. After thanking her In
suitable language, he made an earnest effort
to revive the perishing friendship between
the two families. Several letters were ex­
changed, but the wounds the Adamses believed
they had received still smarted, and cordial
relations were not then restored.
In 1811 Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia
expressed to Jefferson a desire to bring about
a reconciliation, and Jefferson gladly em­
braced It. In a letter to Rush he said many
complimentary things of Adams, and added
that in the preceding summer two of his Vir­
ginia neighbors. had visited Balntree and that
Adams had said to them: "I always loved
Jefferson, and still love him." "This," wrote
Jefferson, "is enough for me. I only needed
this knowledge to revive toward him all the
affections of the most cordial moments of our
the heights, distinct, Olympian. The
younger seem like a great army from
which the leaders and those we know
gradually and Increasingly detach
themselves, and yet even with difficul­
ty tell the year of their graduation.

two years. I remember 1dm well.
He had served, although a mere boy

"xoTrrrczizo"— mgaoitz of moz-as
setting up aristocracies and monarchies had
our forefathers emigrated to America, subdued
the wilderness and won Independence. "Born
free and equal" was a phrase that must have
concrete reality.
Against the aristocratic tendencies that he
saw about him Jefferson set himself to fight
wiUi a quiet but grim earnestness. For a
time, however, the Adams-Hamilton party tri­
umphed. Adams was elected president to suc­
ceed Washington Jefferson was forced to be
content with the vice-presidency. Then came
the quasi-war with France, and with It a de­
cided reaction against Jeffersonian republican­
ism. But In the pride of their might the Fed­
eralists overreached themselves in the fatal
alien and sedition acts, while Adams bravely
refused to be pushed Into an unnecessary war
with France by the reckless Hamiltonlans. By
so doing he wrecked his party, but rendered
his country the greatest service of his career.
Years later he said: 'I desire no other Inscrip­
tion over my gravestone than this: "Here lies
John Adams, who took upon himself the re­
sponsibility of the peace with France In the
year 1800."
During these years the friends frequently
reminded each other that there was nothing
personal In their political conflicts. But per­
sonal pique inevitably crept In, and neither
was always able to refrain from attacking the
other. His defeat In the election of 1800 was
a great blow to Adams. Deprived of the cov­
eted second term, he behaved with a pettiness
that was out of keeping with his real great­
ness. After putting Federalists In every va­
cancy on which he could lay his hands, he
shook the dust of the capital off his feet, and
on the early morning of March 4, 1801, before
his triumphant enemies were astir, drove off
northward without waiting to see his succes­
sor Installed In office. It was seemingly a final
sad ending to a friendship between two men
who, each in his own way, were as sterling
patriots as ever lived.

In this way, as In others, a marked
man at college. In his kind fashion
he insisted in later days that he re­
membered me at Harvard, but I
have always suspected that the kind­
ness of heart was stronger than the
memory, for the gulf which divided
the freshman from the Junior was
both deep and wide.
"In due time we went forth into the
world and took
our
y#
lives." Thus encouraged, Rush addressed to
the two fellow-laborers in the cause of free­
dom an eloquent appeal to bedew their "let­
ters of reconciliation with tears of affection
and jpy."
The hopes of the peacemaker were realized.
Although Adams answered the appeal in a
facetious and somewhat deprecatory letter, he
ended with a half promise to comply with
Rush's wishes. Taking as an excuse' the send­
ing of some specimens of New England home­
spun, he wrote a friendly letter to his old com­
rade and rival.
The joy with which Jefferson received this
overture is visible in every line of his happily
worded reply. Without even waiting for the
arrival of the homespun, he hastened to write
an answer that in part was as follows:
"A letter from you calls up recollections
very dear to my mind. It carries me back to
the times when, beset with difficulties and
dangers, we were fellow-laborers In the same
cause, struggling for what is most valuable
to man, his right of self-government. Labor­
ing always at the same oar, with some wave
ever ahead threatening to overwhelm us, and
yet passing harmless under our bark, we knew
not how, we rode through the storm with heart
and hand, and made a happy port.
"Of the signers ef the Declaration of Inde­
pendence, I see now living not more than half
a dozen on your side of the Potomac, and, on
this side, myself alone.
"You and I have been wonderfully spared,
and myself with remarkable health, and a con­
siderable activity of body and mind. I am on
horseback three or four hours of every day
visit three or four times a year a possession
I have ninety miles distant, performing the
winter journey on horseback. I walk little,
however, a single mile being too much for me
and I live In the midst of my grandchildren,
one of whom has lately promoted me to be a
great-grandfather. I have heard with pleasure
that you also retain good health, and a greater
power of exercise in walking than I do. But
I would rather have heard this from yourself,
and that, writing a letter of mine, full of ego­
tisms and of details of your health, your hab­
its, occupations and enjoyments, I should hare
the pleasure of knowing that in the race of
Hfd you do not keep, in its physical decline,
the same distance ahead of me which you have
done in political honors and achievements."
Thenceforward no cloud was ever allowed to
come between them. Both had wrongs to for­
give and forget, but they did It nobly. Though
they never again saw each other in the flesh,
they wrote long and frequent letters, telling of
their dally lives and discussing politics, reli­
gion, philosophy and other topics.
In one of Jefferson's letters occurred what
seems almost a prophecy of something strange
to come. "The simultaneous movements In
our correspondence," he wrote, "have been re­
markable on several occasions. It would seem
as If the state of the air, or the state of the
times, or some other unknown cause, produced
a sympathetic effect on our mutual recollec­
tions." Could It be that between these two
great minds there existed a sort of mental
telepathy? At all events, a more touching In­
timacy of patriotic souls was never beheld.
In the fulness of years and of honors, did these
two venerable patriarchs, once friends, then
enemies, and now again friends, march In con­
cord down the path of time toward a day that
was to link their names yet closer in a glorious
immortality.
Eight years passed. Jefferson was eighty
three and Adams ninety, yet both retained the
full enjoyment of their faculties. It was the
year 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of the na­
tion's birth. Throughout the land great prepa­
rations were making to observe the national
holiday. Party feeling was sunk In common
love of country, and the attention of the pub­
lic was universally turned toward these ven­
erable patriots who, with Chas. Carroll of Car
rollton, were the sole survivors of the "Sign­
ers." Both men were in the feeblest of health,
and were aware that their end drew near, but
both desired to behold the glorious day and
life, like a flittering taper, prolonged itself in
severfel ways. The
currents of life carried us off in, dif­
ferent directions. The® suddenly," I

once more when he was a leading
spirit at the Chicago exposition, and
there began that great public work

obedience to wills that had not flinched before
the wrath of kings.
On the thirtieth of June, the orator for the
celebration at Quincy called upon Adams in
his home and asked for a toast. "I give you,"
said the feeble patriarch, "Independence for­
ever!" Asked if he desired to add anything to
the sentiment, the old hero replied: "Net a
word."
The great day dawned and John Adams still
lived. But the candle had burned to its socket
and could give but a feeble flicker. 'Tls a
great day! 'Tis a good day!" he said to the
anxious relatives who surrounded his bed. Rea­
son wavered, but the fluttering mind in its last
earthly moments recalled the friend of Monti*
cello—the old comrade who had stood with
him shoulder to shoulder in the fight for free­
dom. "Thomas Jefferson still survives," he
murmured in a voicg so feeble that the last syl­
lables were scarcely distinguishable. Those
were his last words. His spirit departed with
the descending sun.
He dle3 In error. Thomas Jefferson did not
survive. For days the good Democrat had felt
the approach of death and had prepared for it,
desiring only that he might live until the
Fourth. On the third the stupor into which he
had fallen became almost continuous. 'Ah,
doctor," he said, awakening in the night, "are
you still there Is it is Fourth?" "It soon will
be," answered the physician. As midnight ap­
proached those watching noted anxiously the
passing of the minutes, hoping and praying
that the feeble thread might hold and death
be hallowed by the great anniversary. The
wish was granted. Not until fifty minutes past
the meridian did the soul of the great com­
moner exchange immortalities.
It was before the days of telegraphs and
railroads. The news spread slowly. Five days
elapsed ere the denizens of Baltimore and
Washington learned of what had happened at
Braintree. Meantime the inhabitants of Vir­
ginia and neighboring states mourned the
death of Jefferson, marveling greatly over the
strange coincidence that one who had been
the author of the Declaration should die upon
the fiftieth anniversary of its adoption.
Then came the news from the north, and
men realized that not one but two patriarchs
of liberty had departed on the day when hearts
were bounding with Joy over blessings which
sires of a former age had handed down—that
almost simultaneously these two had been
translated in the midst of the acclamations of
millions to the Judgment of their God. Hpd
steeds and chariots of fire descended to f&ke
up these partners In earthly fame and coheirs
of eternity It might perhaps have been more
wonderful but not more glorious.
As the news spread over the land to the vil­
lages and the hamlets, "it raised everywhere
a thrill of emotion, such as has never been
caused by any public event. It was not the
wail of grief, such as is drawn forth by the
sense of privation by the loss of valuable lives.
The advanced age of the persons, if nothing
else, neutralized that. It was the offspring of
the mixture of feelings, the chief, of which
was the surprise at the strangeness of the oc­
currence, veneration for the men themselves,
and delight in the splendor which it would re­
flect upon a page of the national annals. Cer­
tainly the fabulous passing away of the first
Roman king, nearly on the same anniversary,
in the midst of elementary chaos, does not
compare with it In grandeur. Men loved to
meet each other and to dwell on the most
minute particulars, as they were sedulously
laid before the public by the newspapers, and
to read the comments raised to unusual elo­
quence by the tone of the general mind."
"Never has it fallen to the lot of any com­
mander," wrote the adjutant general, "to an­
nounce to an army such an event as now calls
forth the mingled grief and astonishment of
the republic. Never since history first wrote
the first record of time has one day thus min­
gled every triumph with every tender emotion,
and consecrated a nation's Joy by blending 11
with the most sacred of sorrows."
For weeks the newspapers contained little
else but descriptions of the lives and deaths ef
the departed patriots. In every city in the
land memorial meetings searched sacred and
profane history for a parallel. Of the hun­
dreds of such orations one at least will sur­
vive, Webster's classic on "Adams and Jeffer­
son." In his message to Congress, the noble
son of a noble father, in calling attention to
the country's loss, reverently announced that
"the time, the manner, the coincidence are vis­
ible and palpable marks of Divine favor, for
which I would humble myself in grateful and
silent adoration before the Ruler of the Uni­
verse."
Nor was such language extravagant. The
passing of the two patriots formed not only
the strangest coincidence in the annals oi
mankind, but it marked the end of an era—of
the heroic age of American -history.

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily, or 1*
fretful, It is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative Is very often all that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant Is Indi­
cated, manyof the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation Is admitted­
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart*
Ics and purgative waters. It Is very
pleasant to the taste and Is an Ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes It especially de­
sirable In the case of children, a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de­
sired result next morning, with no at­
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere In 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon

very glad to send a trial bottle with­
out any expense to yon whatever.

bad shape. I was troubled with heart­
burn and gas. I lost weight end my
strength was all gone.
"I took medicine from a doctor and
tried several other remedies and lini­
ments but nothing helped me until I
tried Dr. William^ Pink Pills. 1 had
taken them only a short time before I
could feel the new blood and after a
fair trial I was able to walk. The pais
made me a strong, healthy woman and
I am entirely cured of the rheumatism.
I know I would not be living today if I
had not tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
