I
One Hundred Years Ago
the President of the Con?
federate States of America.
Was Born. & & & &
EFPER80N DAVIS,
first and only presi?
dent of the Con
federate Btates ot
Anicriea, was the
ni o s t conspicuous
figaro on the losing
side of UM most
spectacular war In
ninan history. In?
to the eighty-one
years of lils life en?
tered ns much nv
niance, honor, trag?
edy and pathos as
any Individual ca?
reer ins Sun ? the world began.
Mr. Daria was born June 8, 1808, in
Christ lan county, now Todd couuty,
Ky., and died Dec. ''. 1889, In New Or?
leans. Eight months after his birth
not many miles away in (ho same stats
V, as born Abraham Lincoln, who was
to "play opposite" Jeffen on Darli dur?
ing the four yean of civil war which
made both of them historical person?
ages. Each In his respective spiers
served as s helpless target for the darts
of vituperation and abuse from those
who on the one side or the other held
that the war could have hoon handled
hotter. Practically all through his
service as the Confederate president
Mr. Davis was charged with incompe?
tency hy a Richmond newspaper print
close to his official chambers that
he could almost smell the ink. The
I resident of his own government,
Alexander H. Stephens, wrote a letter
declaring his belief that President
Davis aspired to income a dictator and
in substance that ids object, Instead of
fighting for Independence, was the sui>
<:i of human liberty.
As sevil through historical perspec?
tive fifty years from now, when all the
count is mai'.e np, when prejudice and
passion shall have given place to calmer
HOME
Judgment, the likelihood ls that Jeffer-j
soo Davis will he regarded as one who
did nobly and ably what lt was pos
sible and Imperative for him to do In
that tried men's souls. For the
present, in connection with the cen?
tenary of his birth, lt is sufficient to set
forth some of the salient features of
his career as a man, as a soldier, as a
atateaman and ns a scholar. It ls con?
ceded that his service to the United
States as soldier, as lawmaker and as
cabinet minister were highly credit?
able. Mr. Davis first went to congress
from Mississippi in 1S45. John Quincy
Adams, the "grand old man" of the
house, who had been president of the
United States, listened attentively to
the tirst speech of the young Mississip?
pian.
"That young man," he said, "is bound
to make his mark."
Less than two years later the young
man made his mark as a soldier. Ile
had re-signed lils seat in tho house to
enter the military service In the war
with Mexico, being a West Folnt
graduate. lie was elected colonel of the
first Mississippi volunteer riflemen.
In the fierce battle of Buena Vista,
though severely wounded, he saved
th" day by an exploit which won the
warm praise of the venerable Duke of
Wellington and other noted military
men of Europe. That was tho famous
V movement. Colonel Davis formal
his forces in the shape of a V open
toward an advancing host of mounted
Mexican lancers much superior In num?
bera, When tlie lancers rode down In?
to Ihe V, t'ne American riflemen caught
them in a withering fire that mowed
them down like weeds before a scythe.
A few years later Sir Colin Campbell,
at Inkerman, V shaped his forces and
repulsed B heavy body of Russians,
taking his cue from Colonel Davis of
Buena Vista.
A dozen years before, when a young
lieutenant In the army, Davis had
loved and won a daughter of Zachary
Taylor, his Immediate commander at
the time. The marriage was practi?
cally an elopement. Mrs. Davis died a
few weeks after the event, her hus?
band having resigned from tho army
and retired to plantation life In Missis
Changed AccompsriTicnt.
One can bardlj be expected to have
"music in his soul" when there is dis
cord in bis stomach.
Husband?What was that you wert
playing, my dear?
Wife -Did you Uko it?
"It was lovely the melody divine,

"It is the very th 1 last
evening, and you said it was horrid."
"We'd, tiie steak was burned last
evening."?Stray stories.
w
i Davis Ce
slppl. In 184.") Mr. Davis remarried.
Until the battle of Buena Vista there
was an estrangement between Davis
and his first father-in-law. General
Taylor was in command of the anny
there. After the brilliant success of
the V movement the old warrior
clasped Colonel Davis in his arms and
sent to the war department a report in
praise of tho young colonel.
After his return from Mexico Mr.
Davis was appointed United States
senator hy the governor of Mississippi
to fill a vacancy. Ile was unanimous?
ly elected when the legislature met. In
1 *->."!c lie was elected to a full senatorial
tenn, which he resigned the next year
to run for governor of his state as the
"state rights" candidate. Ile was de?
feated hy a small vote. Mr. Davis soon
returned to Washington, however, be?
ing made secretary of war In tho cabi?
net of President Franklin Tierce, a
post which ho filled from 1853 until
18S7 with signal ability. Probably no
abler war secretary ever held tho port?
folio.
?->
OF JEFFERSON DAVIS AT BEA!
Mississippi would not let Jefferson
Davis rest on his plantation. Ho was
sent hack to the United States Benate
shortly after his retirement from the
cabinet. After serving four years of
his third fractional term as United
States senator he resigned and passed
forever out of ofticlal connection with
the government of the United States.
Davis was tho Democratic leader of
Hie Thirty-sixth congress. Ile opposed
Stephen A. Douglas' "squatter sov?
ereignty" proposition, but upheld the
John C. Calhoun doctrine of the right
of the states to*seeede.
Mississippi seceded on tho Oth of
January, 188L Senator Davis was of?
ficially notified of this fact on the
24th, and that day he announced his
resignation in a notable speech. Davis
was an orator of the Ciceronian school.
Ills addresses were literary produc?
tions. His arguments were expressed
in clear, concise, forceful English, de?
livered with the austere diguity of an
old Roman. Ills tall, spare form
loomed in the senate like the figure of
an ascetic who in fasting and solitude
had given deep consideration to the
questions at Issue. In all things he
was a serious minded man, almost to
solemnity, and totally lacking in that
saving sense of humor which upheld
his executive antagonist at Washing?
ton, the story telling Lincoln, in the
years of sore trial. In his farewell
speech Davis defended tho south in its
declaration of withdrawal from the
Union, denied the right of coercion
and begged pardon of all those whom
he might have offended during his
senatorial career.
With his military education and
service and his long experience as war
secretary. Mr. Davis naturally was
ambitious to lead the armies of the
south. Before reaching his home he
had been appointed commander iu
chief of the army of Mississippi, but
on the 9th of February the Confed?
erate congress at Montgomery elected
him provisional president of the new
government. A year later he was
elected president of the Confederate
States of America for the full consti?
tutional term of six years. Shortly
after taking the executive helm Mr.

Davis urged that the Confederate cap?
ital be removed to Richmond, and
when this was done he removed thither
and took up his residence in the fine
old mansion near the statehouse which
is now a Confederate museum. In his
first message to the provisional con?
gress he mado his famous statement
as to the attitude of tho south, "All we
ask is to bc let alone," but ho promised
to resist "subjugation" to tho utmost.
The world knows what followed. Aft?
er four years of obstinate and heroic
resistance. Jefferson Davis was a
fugitive, thou a captive, confined for
two years in Fortress Monroe, man?
acled for several days, indicted on
charge of treason, never brought to
trial, finally liberated and at length
included in the amnesty.
Most of the remaining years of Jef?
ferson Davis were passed in his mod?
est home at Beauvoir, Miss. There he
wrote a history of tho Confederacy and
from time to time mado dignified re?
plies to attacks upon his official career.
So great was his fame that nobody
ever visited that part of Mississippi
without going to seo the executive
leader of "the lost cause." The hospi?
tality of Mr. Davis was unbounded.
Ho entertained in fine southern style
ali who came. Tho consequence was
that most of the surplus yielded by his
plantation was eaten up by American
and European admirers, and in his
latter years he was in financial
straits. Friends devised several bene?
fit schemes, all of which Mr. Davis dis?
countenanced. Ile was content to suf?
fer with the rest of the south, hoping
that the royalties on his book would
be sufficient to rescue his estate from
embarrassment. Even in this he was
disappointed, the publishing arrange?
ments proving unsatisfactory.
Tho human side of Jefferson Davis
has been presented by his daughter.
JVOIR.
"Winnie'' Davis, and by many intimate
friends. Miss Davis, in a long article
written shortly after her father's death,
laid particular stress upon his Innate
kindness of heart She told how when
she was a little girl her father re?
proved her for stepping on a beetle.
"Is there not room in the world, lit?
tle daughter, for you and that harm?
less insect, too?" he said.
The daughter also related that Mr.
Davis' tenderness extended even to
trees and plants and that he had been
known to tend a bruised shrub long
aud patiently not because its preserva?
tion enhanced the beauty of tho land?
scape, but because ho pitied lt
The wide range of knowledge which
Mr. Davis possessed was a source of
constant wonder to those who had the
privilege of hearing him talk. He
seemed to be Interested in all lines of
human endeavor. He loved poetry and
music, aud he knew good poetry from
bad poetry and good music from bad
music. His tastes were exalted. Ile
was In all essentials above vulgarity.
History, quite naturally, was one of
his favorite topics of study. But ho
did not confine himself to the study of
mere human development All life in?
terested liini, as has been Indicated,
and it is said that once a noted sports?
man who believed himself to be an
authority on dogs visited Mr. Davis.
Tho venerable man talked dog to his
visitor, thereby proving his unfailing
courtesy.
"After about an hour," admitted the
dog fancier, "Mr. Davis had told mo
more about dogs, their history, develop?
ment, uses and racial characteristics
than I ever had Imagined before."
In person Mr. Davis always WM
scrupulously neat It is related that
upon one occasion, when bo was not
feeling well, dinner was announced at
his home, and Mrs. Davis urged him to
sit at the table in his dressing gown.
He declined, though no "company" was
present
"I know no one for whom I have
more respect than yourself," he said to
Mrs. Davis. "I hope 1 shall not take
cold, but I cannot sit at dinner with
you in my gown."

Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.
AN UNUSUAL NAN.
This is about a man who tried to do
right and wa3 true to his convictions.
Incidentally he made and lost mil?
lions.
A few days ago Ferdinand Schu?
macher of Canton, 0., passed away.
He was the pioneer lu the breakfast
food Industry lu the (Jolted States.
Fifty-two years ago Mr. Schumacher
came to Akron from Germany. He
lugan to prepare oats for the table by
shelling, cutting and cooking them. In?
side of twenty years he had four big
mills working night and day to supply
the demand for his cereals.
other companies imitated Schuma?
cher, and the Industry grew until lt
was absorbed by the trust.
.Mr. Schumacher did not understand
the Ins and outs of "high finance" and
in 18110, after making an assignment,
he left tho American Cereal company.
Though at one time a millionaire, he
died with nothing. His friends say he
was manipulated out of his money.
Anyway, the man himself, and not
his millions, ls the important consid?
eration.
Schumacher was one of the original
Prohibitionists of the country, and,
what is more, he practiced what he
believed.
An instance:
When his immense cereal mills at
Akron burned in 1896, largo quantities
of grain In his elevators became wet
and sprouted. The breweries wauted
ta purchase the damaged grain for dis?
tilling purposes. Mr. Schumacher re?
fused to sell the grain, preferring to
lose rather than have the stuff made
into intoxicants.
Quixotic?
Possibly. B it lt proves the stamp of
the man. What he believed he believed
with all his might, and he stood ready
to suffer for the cause he had espoused.
Another instance:
Mr. Schumacher was the promoter of
a town company at Marseilles, 111., In
which he Invested nearly $1,000,000.
He attempted to make the place a
model town and a total abstinence com?
munity. The venture failed.
Nevertheless the man did his best.
He showed his good Intentions. He
carried his philanthropic desire to the
verge.
Here is the point in this man's ca?
reer:
He made no pretenses. He put his
manhood above his money. And he
stood four square to all the winds that
blow. You may not agree with his be?
liefs. You may call him a crank. But
you must respect him as you must re?
spect every man who makes good in a
righteous cause.
Men like Ferdinand Schumacher are
scarcer than we could wish.
A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW
In the pauper's graveyard at Coffey
vllle, Kan., Iles the dust of a man who
wrote the song, "There's a Light In the
Window For Thee."
Rev. Edmund Dunbar wrote other
popular songs, but the one mentioned
above ls pathetically associated with
his erratic career in life.
Dunbar spent three years lu the Min?
nesota penitentiary for bigamy and
then became a wanderer on the face
of the earth, a vagabond. He turned
up at Coffeyville and applied at the
city jail for food and lodging. He died
the same night. Letters on his body
identified him. He was burled in tbe
potter's field, and his body was recent?
ly taken back to the home of his child?
hood.
Factory boy, sailor, student, minis?
ter, convict, tramp?that was the cres?
cendo and diminuendo in the theme of
Edward Dunbar, a theme constituted
mostly of minor chords.
When lie was a lad working in a fac?
tory late at night his mother always
kept a light In the window for him.
When he went to sea on a loug cruise
his mother still kept the light burnlug,
and when she died before he came
back her last words were these:
"Tell my boy I will keep a light burn?
ing in heaven for him."
Therefore the song.
On the stormy night of his death In
a common calaboose did his spirit, as
it beat its wings upon the battered
cage of a worn and weary body, see a
light in the window? Maybe so. At
any rate, his story Illustrates again
Stevenson's immortal tale of "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde."
Dunbar was at one time a brilliant
minister, an evangelist of unusual
power who always struck a sure note
of pathos. But there was a bad streak
lu him somewhere. He was sent to
prison for promiscuous marrying and
afterward went to pieces, degenerating
into a common tramp.
There are those who believe that
genius is aberration. Anyway, this la
true of us all, genius or otherwise.
We are all doubles. We are both Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
In mau are both brute and angel.
li Is only the angel that sees the
light In tho window.

much."
