In everything that Pomeroy says that deeply Impresses a visitor. The writer had not seen Jesse since about 1868, when both were boys In Charlestown. Jesse being then about seven years old, a little, chubby youngster with curly hair, carefree and happy. The writer was some years Ills se nior. Both went to the Winthrop school and they lived near each oth er. It was by liis invitation that the writer called on Pomeroy at the in stitution. There was recognition in Jesse's eye the minute he saw the writer among the visitors in the ro tunda. His step was light and springy and the grasp of his hand cordial. Pomeroy to-day is a little uuder medium height, weighs 142 pounds, has a reddish mustach, a thin head of hair, bright grayish eyes, a firm chin, no special pallor, and a pleas ant mien. The pictures of htm that have been printed do not do him justice now, for he Is not rough looking. The once very prominent blemish in one eye seems to have faded and is not now very noticeable.

Fifty years is a long time to con template, yet in one hour's conver sation Jcsso went first back to rem iniscences of his boyhood days, named persons and events with which his visitor was perfectly fa miliar, and seemed to enjoy talking about old Charlestown more than anything else. lie spoke warmly of the kindness of. the warden and all the ofllcers of the institution. As to what lie did with his time, he skipped details as to occupation and said he liked the evenings and alt sparo moments when He could read. Heading and writing are his chief recreations and lie also takes 'much pleasure in all entertainments that are given. He branched off on the war, and talked intelligently of the princi pal battles, and praised In the warmest terms the bravery of the American soldiers and sailors. He had relatives in the Civil War. What impressed him most he said were the giguntic problems the war produced. He said that all the Inmates are "red-hot Americans." and have fol lowed the war movements with the keenest interest, "all rejoicing at the successful outcome of it."

OPPOSITE COURTHOUSE 1 /'' thought the boys who' had not' been sent across, hut hud slaved in camps and wero now being dropped should be given more praise In the press, and that tho Leglslautrb should pass some resolution thank ing them it were. There should be correction of tho idea soriie individuals have that Pomeroy Is not a fairly-well educat ed man. He modestly disclaims high scholarship, but declares be read and studied a great deal during his solitary confinement of more than forty years. "After spending two years on laitin," be says, "ami then two years on French, in October, 1890, 1 began the study of Spanish. In those days we did not have the cor respondence school, which dates 1 think from tho 90's; and if there was a school here in 1880 I knew nothing of it, although the school house on the south wing was in use In 1889-90. J struck out Tor myself, selecting Spanish. In a few months 1 was able to write and read correctly, and with understanding, the Spanish langu age." Apropos of Potneroy's reading, tt appears that he has always been fond of history. In an essay on "Some Momentous Events In His tory," printed in the Mentor, an in stitution paper, he writes very fully and accurately of events that oc curred before and after the Chris tian era.'

His reading has been extended to vari ous forms of poetry. Bpeaking of the value of books, he says: "And what opportunities we have who like poetry. It shows a refined and discriminating mind—folklore, ballads, epic poetry, drnnia all touch the realistic experiences of hamuli life, and their charm Is grav en on the mind." • American Aid in War Recalled by Premier Il^a'ds. —"I shall never forget that morning when 1 sent a cable mes sage to President Wilson telling him 'what the facts were and how es sential It was that e should get American help at the speediest pos sible rate and inviting him to send 120,000 infantry and machine guns to Europe," said Premier LJoyd George in a speech to 3,000 persons here.
