“I have tried to touch here and
yqiider on a few of the historical
events of the past, and show you
that civilization is the greatest
force v.v have. I come now to the
purpose, the main object of our
meeting,—the long, useful, and
patriotic life of Jesse Ellhu Luth

one hundred years ago today. The
long life and remarkable versatili

ply matter for a volume, rather
than my brief* sketch. The great
events of the hundred years have
had their influence upon the mind
and character of this interesting
man. Let me begin one hundred
years ago today, and call to your
mind a few of the happenings
ot that time and since. In 1843.
Tyler was President of the Unit

tion was about one-halt century
old. Postage stamps were not
used on letters and other mail un
til four years later. If you wish
ed to mail a letter, you paid the
money to the postmaster. The
postage rate was by the miles your
letter had to go. Six cents for not
more than thirty miles, ten cciils
for fifty -.niles, twelve and one-
half cents from eighty to one
000 hundred and fifty miles,
eighteen and three-fourths cents
from one hundred fifty to four

for over four hundred. People
