Outside of his frontier career, the
general has some interesting family
history.

Mexico is the general's relative. Gen-

States. The Creel who. after the
trial of Burr, purchased Bleunerhaa-

Parkersburg, West Vlr-lnia, was a
great uncle of the general.

young wife and settled on the Island

palatial hon.e was built, tilled with

The bus eptible Blennerhassett who
was to finance the scheme, was won

siveness of the man who had once
been vice-president of the United
States, hut was now plotting treason
against that government which had
so signally honored him, having once
lacked but one electoral vote of be
ing its president.
Burr and Blennerhassett were both
tried for conspiracy, but the govern-
ment failed to convict. Burr filled a
social outcast's grave, dying without
a friend; Blennerhassett went to

He returned to Ireland, where he

against adversity for a time, support-

Charity, and died in a hovel. The
entire Blennerhassett fortune had
gone down In the Burr conspiracy,
including a half million belonging to

"The House That Bill Built"
Ere Willie'Wise w as w ed a week, or lived in double bliss, he
got a letter from a friend, a letter just 1 ke this:
Dear Willie Wise, old college chum, my best regards to you;
best wishes now to Sail, your wife she well deserves them. too.
I've known her Will, Tor many years e'er since she was a child.
She is a girl that's true as steel, she's gentle and she's mild. She
is a bird, my old time friend, that's wiley for her age. I'm proud
to know that Willie Wise has got her in his cage."
When Willie read this letter through, he took a hearty laugh.
"That lioy does know a lot of things, hut doesn't know the half, for
If It hadn't been for Sail's bright mind, I now would have no
house, and this you know would mean just this, 1 then would have
no spouse But when she put me wise- about the Comley Lumbar
men, 1 bade farewell to every doubt, and boldly waded in."
