Meriwether Lewis, President Jeffer.

Demanded in Fiction.
When a writer comes to the fashion.
Ing of a hero usually he wants a tall
young man-—the ladles love that sort.
Meriwether Lewis was a tall young
man, goodly In inches and in thews., A
hero must have courage, or the ladles
will not like him. What hero of fact
or filetion ever showed more courage
than he did? I question if Christo-
pher Columbus ever needed more cour-
age or ever showed more than Meri-
wether Lewis,
A hero must be a trifle of an ele-
gant also, else the ladles will not like
him. Meriwether Lewis was once
called “a splendid dandy.” He was
not only President Thomas Jefferson's
business assistant, but his soclal sec-
retary as well, and arbiter of good
form in the early days of Washing-
ton.
The ladies like a hero with a past,
with a certain air of melancholy about
him. No author need Imagine these
things for Meriwether Lewis—there

he died as he had lived, surrounded
still with a very halo of mystery, en-

The wealth of a nation must be de.

Even if the days of absolute conquest
are past, there are yet a thousand
Habilities to violent encroachment on
the honor and rights of a people which
they cannot be passive under without
sacrificing a national spirit and well
nigh dissolving the bonds of govern-
ment Itself. But where lies the
strength of a nation's defense? In
such things as money purchases
ships, fortifications and magazines of
