Unnumbered zons have rolledaway 
since a luxuriant tropic verdure flour- 
ished beneath the Polar Star. Slowly, 
silently, sublimely, the Frost-giants 
exerted their power, forcing towards 
the equator the myriad forms of life 
that formerly basked in the humid, 
perennial sunshine of the Tropic Pole, 
till naught remains to tell the story of 
that genial clime save coal-bearing and 
fossiliferous strata and the congealed 
remains of the long-extinguished mas- 
todon. 
Untrodden by human. foot, unseen 
by mortal eye, the snowy wastes, 
chaotic floes and grinding bergs have 
drifted hither and yon through un- 
known centuries at the mercy of ocean 
stream and changing moon. 
Coeval with man’s advent upon the 
earth was an all-consuming passion for 
greater knowledge concerning the 
planet which was his birthright. Step 
by step he enlarged his boundaries, 
establishing such landmarks as As- 
syria, Egypt, Phoenecia and Greece. 
Solemnly the centuries rolled into 
oblivion, bearing upon their recurrent 
crests kingdoms, empires and princi- 
palities and strewing the shores of 
time with a mighty wreckage. 
True to the spirit of exploration and 
conquest, Rome, returning from the 
Indus and the deserts of Lybia, poured 
her legions over the Alps, half sub- 
duing the Pagan tribes of the German 
wilderness, until her camp-fires illu- 
mined the Danube, flickered in the 
Batavian forests and were finally 
smothered in the drenching fogs of 
the Baltic. Her triremes and mer- 
chant galleys crossed the Channel, 
skirted Britain and fixed for a time 
Ultima Thule, “farthest north,” in 
the Shetland Isles.

ULYSSES. G. HASKELL. 
His Past Career and His Qualifications for 
Office of District Attorney. 
Ulysses G. Haskell, a Beverly man, 
is this year a candidate for the office 
of district attorney of this district. 
Although Mr. Haskell has lived in 
Beverly many years and is well known 
to the people of the North Shore, it 
may not be amiss to give to our read- 
ers at this time a brief sketch of his 
life, showing in some degree the char- 
acter of the man and his qualifications 
for the district attorney’s office. 
HASKELL 
ULYSSES G. 
Mr. Haskell is in the best sense of 
the word a self made man. By dint 
of hard work, perseverance, and 
steady application, he has slowly but 
surely worked his way upward until 
today no man on the North Shore 
commandsa greater amount of the 
respect and good-will of his fellow 
citizens than does Mr. Haskell. 
Mr. Haskell was born in Chatham, 
CARD 
CATALOGUED, 
N.H., in 1863, but at the early age of 
one year his family removed to Bev- 
erly, where he has made his home 
ever since. He attended the public 
schools in Beverly and graduated 
from the high school in 1880. After 
that he went to work in the shoe 
shops here, but after four years work 
he entered upon the study of law, for 
which he had always had a liking, in 
the office of the late Arthur L. Hunt- 
ington, where he remained for one 
year. While a student he went to 
Washington in connection with the 
French Spoliation Claims, to assist 
Judge Landers in preparing petiticns 
to the U.S. Court of Claims. While 
there he took the civil service exam- 
inations and obtained such high rank 
that he was at once appointed toa 
clerkship in the pension office under 
Gen. John C. Black, notwithstanding 
that it was a Democratic administra- 
tion and he was an avowed Republi- 
can. 
He remained here four years and 
during that time attended the How- 
ard University law school, frcm which 
he graduated with high honors, and 
was admitted to the bar of the Dis- 
trict of Columbia in 1888. In 1890 he 
was appointed special examiner of the 
pension office in the field and was 
sent to Kentucky to examine pension 
claims. 
In 1891 he voluntarily resigned his 
position and returned to Salem where 
he began the practice of law. Since 
that time he has built up for himself 
a reputation asa lawyer and at the 
present time has one of the best prac- 
tices in Essex county. 
However, Mr. Haskell has not con- 
fined himself to his private law prac- 
tice; he has always taken great inter- 
est in all matters pertaining to his 
home city and in the affairs of the 
state and country at large. 
Holding office under the old town 
government, he was one of the prime 
workers in the establishment of the
