-Well. I can do that.” said the old

et and pulled out an old weather-beat
en leather pockrtbook. and a single
glance at which would satisfy any
man that it wo* made years ago out
of crude material and with anything
but up to date machinery.. As the old
man untied a atrip of cotton cloth used
ns a string to keep the pocket book
closed, nnd then unbound the wallet,
showing that ita full length was over a
foot, he said:
"This old pocket-book I made my
self In January, 1812, out of the boot
leg of a dead yankee soldier, while sit
ting on a log near the brick house six
miles below* Fredericksburg. Va., on
the Rappahannock river. It was after
the fight, and having a little Confed
erate money and no pocket-book, cut
some leather out of the boot-leg of a
dead yankee nnd made the pockctbook
with nn old carpet needle and some
cotton string. I have curried It ever
since, and It has contained every cent
that I have had since 1 come out of the
war."
When the old veteran had Ashed
out a five dollar bill from the bottom
of the wallet, he tied It up again se
curely. nnd then drew out a piece of
rag, and from Its folds unearthed a sil
ver dollar, which he placed upon the
five dollar bill nnd handed the pile to
Capt. Harrison. In payment of his ac
count with the state, thereby qualify
ing himself for a admission to the
home.
"I have got aome more money In thla
old pocket-book,” said old man Ed-
wnrds. "and 1 wish you would tell me
what to do with It."
"How much?” inquired Capt. Harri
son.
"I don’t know exactly.” anld he. "but
It la a good deal. I must have a* much
a* forty dollnrs. With It I could get
something to eat for a long time, but
when It is gone I wouldn't be any use
to anybody. You see. I have been sav
ing every cent that I could for years,
nnd now’ don’t want to lose IL I have
been living the life of a bachelor ever
since I came out of the war; have done
my owm cooking and cleaned up my
own room. My expenses have not In
consequence been very heavy."
Capt. Harrison advised the old vet
eran to give hi* surplus money to the
superintendent of the home.
'Til do that a* soon a* I get there,
said Edwards. "And now captain." he
<A>ntlnue, “I brought along with me my
old feather bed and tw*o or threo blan
ket* and a lot of old clothe*. They
ain’t much but they are all that I have
got and would like to take them to the
home with me.”
"AH right, you can do so,” answered
Copt. Harrison. "The superintendent
will have them brought out for you.”
Having transacted all of his busi
ness the aged veteran under the guid
ance of one of the porters of the state
house, left the buildlin to catch a street
car for the home. "A rich old charac
ter 111 beL” said Capt Harrison to sev
eral friends who were in the office at
the time, and then he returned to the
usual routine work of the department.
8aya His People Are Satisfied With
Their Name, and Refers to Signifi
cance of Recent Election for Presi
dent in the United State*—Archbish
op Thank* God for Roo*evelt
LONDON, Nov. 24.—The annual
Thanksgiving banquet of the Ameri
can Society at the hotel Cecil tonight
was marked by the presentation to Am
bassador Choate of a portrait of him
self painted by Hubert Harkomer and
paid for by subscriptions by members
of the socletly. An unusual note for
such a gathering was introduced by
Sir Edward Clarke, who, proposing
Mr. Choate’s health, sarcastically de
rided the title "American ambassador,"
declaring that the word American Im
plied domination over the whole of the
western hemisphere, which the United
States docs not possess and is not en
titled to, as Great Britain Is territori
ally a larger power on the American
continent than the United States. Sir
Edward suggested that a more suita
ble title would be Usona, signifying
United States of North America.
Americans Satisfied. ^
Ambassador Choate, replying, saief
thnt Americans were quite satisfied
with their name, and then referred to
the recent election in the United States
as a splendid tribute of devotion and
affection to a great man. Having re
marked upon the regeneration of public
life in America, regardless of party,
now in progress. Mr. Choate alluded
to the ever-growing friendship between
Great Britain and America as reason
for thanksgiving, nnd added:
"I asked Lord Lansdowne if he was
ready to negotiate a treaty of arbi
tration. 'Why? said Lord Lansdowne,
*lt goe* without saying.’”
Continuing. Mr. Choate maintained
that many things go without saying
between Great Britain and America,
above all thnt they should avoid all
possible cause* of offense and settle
all differences by peaceful means.
He paid a high tribute to the arch
bishop of Canterbury* "re-discovery
of America," and dilated upon the
value of visits to America by such
men as the archbishop and John
Morley.
Thanks God for Rooaevolt.
The archbishop of Canterbury, pro
posing President Roosevelt’s health,
expressed his sincere thanks for, the
great hospitality with which ho was
received In America. He said
America faced problems greater than
the world had ever seen, but by a
stroke of genius had found the man
to conquer the difficulties. "We on
this side." said the archbishop, "not
less than brothers to you gcross the
Atlantic, thank God and tnke courage
because the destinies of America are
safe In Roosevelt’s hands."
