Is gt the Hotel Port land, accompanied by bis daughter. In 1864 Mr. Dempsey began cutting timber In Mlohlgan. Two years ago hs retired. His home Is at Manistee,, which town be has watched grow from nothing to a city of 16,000. During that time Mr. Dempsey has held nearly every positlen In ths city from mayor down. Lawrence Neal and J. J. Dempsey, three of his sons, are In the lumber business at Tsooma. Some time ago their mill burped, and now they are rebuilding. Mr. Demnsev and his dauxhter have been there visiting the boys. Mr. Demp sey leavee ror ijos Angelas tomorrow. I engaged In the lumber bualness at a time when there was anything else naroiy in the state but timber." Mr. Dempsey aald thla morning. "Then I began to climb the ladder Of sucoaa. Now and then a round or two broke, and I would slip back a few pega But I kept on climbing. It was slow work, and' that ladder was a long one, and It waa steep. "Bometlmes It looked as If I'd never manage to get to the top. I sometimes hesitated, in the beginning, and looked back. It was so far from the bottom where I had begun that I soon decided that this retrospective business wouldn't do. Then and there I determined never to look back again until I had finished my task. I "Several years ago tbe timber gave out I was then compelled to quit the lumoer business. utnerwiae wuuiu still be there climbing and pegging away trying to reach tbe top of that ladder." Mr. Dempsey is TS years old. He doesn't look more than 10. He says he never held a state office although, be had the opportunity. "I was always too busy trying to reacn tne .top oi urn laaoer to pay mucn attention w poii tics," Mr. Dempsey eiplalna. "Thraa of mv bora are now follow. Ing in the footsteps of their father," Mr. Dempaey eontinuea. i gave tnern a start some time axo. Ana incident ally, they are getting along mighty fine. They couldn't do better. "You might say I threw them out In the middle of the big pond and let them F addle for themeelvee. Now and then go and take a look over the lake and If I should see either of them about to go under I'd reaoh In and grab him and drag mm to snore. And then I suppose I'd get back in the lumber bualneas ths same as or eld. "But the boys are mighty good swim mers. They eeem to be staying on top better man l aid at tne start, ana so I'm satisfied with them in every war. "I tell you, It'a mighty fine, to have a lot of children and see them xettlna along well In the world." Mr. Demneey travele a areat deal now ana always taxes ma aaugnter with him.

"I've figured It all out there Isn't so much In a name, after all," said O. W. Mersey of Memphis, at the Hotel Port land this morning. My name la George Washington Mersey. I never did any thing great. But it wasn't my fault that I waa given this name. nut, as i wss saying, mere isn t so much -in a name. For Instance, there are 23 men In the Tennessee state peni tentiary whose names are George Wash inaton. Think of that! Twenty-two convicts in one prison, all with the name ot the father of this country. It's enough to make the old man turn over In his grava "Every one of these 23 either lied or stole otherwise he wouldn t be In the pen "Washington la a pretty name and at 1 merous every day. the aame time It la much abused. There are so many George Washing tons among the colored people of the south that If you yell George' or 'Washington' on the streets of any southern city several dosen men will probably answer. "But I suppose there will be aa many Theodore Roosevelts all over the land in It or 20 years from now. "In addition, there is a state named Washington. And then the capital of the nation.
