grave, and poor Chapman has long been
there. But catching the inspiration Of
his secondhand correspondent, Chap
man did crow in the Sentinel, and as
the business Of Growing is usually done
by chantieleer, he brought out one of
those fine large birds at the head of his
columns. That was the first rooster
ever placed in the Democratic paper to
rejoice over q Democratic victory. As
the general results of that election were
against us, it was matter of derision
for the Wing papers, when any Wing
victory was obtained, to Oadd these words,
''TelI Chapman to crow" This assisted
to fix the matter in the popular mind,
and to natiOnalize the emblem. No bet
ter one could have been adopted. The
rooster is probably the most gallant and
bravest of birds. He is never conquer
ed rs long as he has life. Beaten to-day
he is ever ready to renew the fight with
his conquerOr tomorrow. He is also a
fine and handsome specimen Of the
feathered tribe, and no one more keenIy
enjoys a victory or loudly prOclaims it.
Mr.. Chapman little thought that by in
Producing that rooster into his columns,
he was giving his name a celebrity
which would never have been attained

The Democratic Rooster.

We are often asked how and when it
was that the rooster was adopted as the
Democratic type ofsuccess. 1t has been
asked us more frequently cinee the Dea-
con of the Gazette distracted it from our
office and appropriated tito his own use.
The rooster was unknown in the days Of
Jefferson or Jackson. It was not until
so late a period as 1910, the year Of the
log cabin hard cider and 'eOOLskin'
campaign, which resulted in the cleo
ton of General Harrison, that he made
his appearance. Indiana then had her
State elections in August. The editor
of our respected Democratic cOtempOra-
~, the Indianapolis Sentinel, was John
w. Chapman. In those days, ofcourse,
there were no telegraphs, and few rail-
roads, in the West. LoComOtion was
slow, and it required days, and even
weeks, to get any returns from the back
counties. 1t so happened that in some
particular county in Indiana, whose
name we do not recOllect, the Democrats
made o gain over previous elections. An
enthusiastic Democract wrote to a friend
in Indianapolis the news, and not know
ing Mr.. Chapman, the editor Of the Sen
tincl. personally, requested his friend to
communicate the facts to Chapman, ad-
ding these significant words, "Tel
Chapman to crow" He little thought
by that expression in q private letter,
that he was furnishing q powerful party
with an emblem which will last perhaps
for centuries. The writer Of this "a

SUNDAY MORNING.

How many pleasant breakfast tables
it looks down upon. No need to hurry
away to office, orstore, or counting room.
Fathers come leisurely down in dress
ing gown and slippers, and sip their cOf-
fee without danger of choking. They
have time to look round and see how
the children are growing, and that moth
ing in this world is so beautiful as a rosy
baby fresh from slumber. Mother too,
has the old girlish smile that comes not
often Oh a week day, for if it does,
father has not time to notice it,
and that, perhaps, after all, is the rea-
son it comes so seldom. It is pleasant
after eggs and coffee, to sit COmfOrta-
bly, down by the fire, the center of a
ring of happy faces, and hear the church
bells chime. Time enough yet to so for
this is the first bell.
Church bells are not, to my ear, "an
impertinence." One is free agent. I
am free to go, which I like to do; you
are free to stay, if you prefer; though I
may think you make a mistake. don't
say thatI should go every Sunday to hear
man who was always binding doc
trines together like bundles of dry sticks
and thrusting them athis yawning hear
ers. I want to hear a sermon that any
poor soul who straggles into church,
from any by-lane or alley, can under
stand, and carry home with him to his
| cellar or garret; not a sermon that comes
on chariot wheels, but afOOt, and with
warm, life like grasp for every honest
aye, and dishonest-hand in the as
sembly, defaulter or Magdalen; for who
babe you slam Heavens gate in their
faces?
want 4 human sermon. 1 don't care
what Melchisedek, Zerubbabel, or Ker-
enhappuk did, ages ago; I want to know
what am to do, and I want somebody
besides theological book-worm to tell
me, somebodywhO issometimes tempted
and tried, and is not ttoodignified to own
it; somebody like myself, who is always
SHINING and repenting, somebody who
is glad and sorry, and cries and laughs,
and eats and drinks, and wants to fight
when they are trodden on-and don't!
That's the minister for me. don't
want spiritual abstraction, with stony
eyes and petrified fingers, and no blood
to battle with. What credit is it TO him
to be proper? How can he understand
me? Were there only such ministers
in the pulpit, I wouldn't go to church
either, because my impatient feet would
only beat tattoo on the pew floor till
service was over, but thank God there
are! and while they preach I shall go
and hear them, and come home better
and happier for having done it.
So I pray you don't abolish my Sun
day, whatever you way do with yours. |
Don't take away my blessed Sunday
breakfast, when we all have time to
love another. Don't take away the Sab
bath bells, which I so love to hear. |
Don't take away my human minister,
whose God is so tyrant, and is better
pleased to see US go smiling home from
church than bowling onrheads IikeIa bull
rush, and groaning back to our dinners,
till all you anti-Sabbatarians are made !
to abolish Sunday-and no wonder.

formed the exploit of following the
Connecticut River to its head-of going
around it, in fact-with no other incen-

Dor, who was a bridge-builder.

to the exact locality of her husbands

leave.
That very afternoon he departed on

change of linen, tied in a blue-checked
handkerchief, hanging from a stick over
his shoulder, and whistling cheerily as
he left the dull old town behing him.

appeared before the astonished mechan-
ic, exclaiming:

alone in the worId-a sad condition,
which he, however, took very philOso-
phically, consoling himself by sagely
commenting on all the ills which mar
ried men and heads of families are heir
to.
Though usually idle and vagabondish
in his habits, he was q man of wonder
fuI energy and perseverance when once
his spirit was up. On one occasion,
when he had extended a ramble to the
vicinity of Hartford, he found himself
at the ferry, opposite the city, without
u shilling in his pocket. He proposed
to the ferryman TO allow him a free pass

An Ice Cave,

NEARLY all the ice used on the Pacific
coast is obtained from q never falling
ice cave in the northern part Of Oregon.
This remarkable subterranean cavern
where the ice remain in a perfect state
the year around, is situated on q stream
know as the White Salmon, which emp
ties into the Columbia river, on the
Washington Territory side, about thirty
miles below the DaIIes. The entrance
to this icy chamber is near the base Of
Mount Adams, which stands twenty
miles from the Columbia, and whose
melting SHOWS coustitute the waters OF
the White Salmon. The dimensions
Of this cave are vast, extending many
miles under the snowy mountain, and
the scenery inside IS supremeIy grand
The ice is found in columns formed by
water falling from above and congaaI-
ing as 1t falls. These columns are cut
out in blocks and conveyed on pack an
imals to the CoIumbia river, and thence
are shipped to al the markets on the
coast.

Tho Veto Power In Ohio.

THE question is often asked why the
people Of Ohio have not clothed the
Chief Magistrate of the State with the
veto power, which is done in all the
other States Of the Union. The reason
is this: Before Ohio was organized as a
State, in 1902, and while it was under
its Territorial government, the Cover
nOr,-Gen. Arthur st. CIair.-had an
absolute veto over ali the acts of the
Territorial Legislature. He was a Fed
eralist Of the hottest kind, and the Leg
islatuTe was Democratic. The conse-
quence was that he vetoed nearly all
the laws that were passed. His exercise
Of the veto power was so sweeping and
indiscriminate that it disgusted the peo-
pie. When they came to form a State
Constitution, the delegates assembled,
under bitter feeling of resentment at
the abuse of the veto prerogativs. They
refused to lodge the power in any future
Chief Magistrate. This provision Of the
Constitution of 1902 was continued un-
der that Of 1851. There are a great MANY
who are ignorant of the fact. It was
only few years ago, that one of the
Republican members of the Legislature,
telegraphed from Columbus to this CITY.
that certain bill had been passed, and
only needed the signature of the Cover
nor to make it Iaw.-Cin. Eng.

HOW Matches are Made.


Large planks are cut up into blocks,
double the length Of the match, and put
one at a time upon the cutting machine.
Two large knives converging at the
points, are driven back and forth upon
the blocks, and numerous little flaps be-
meath, wide enough to let one match be-
tween, are pressed up, each taking of a
match at every passage Of the knives,
at the rate of sixty a minute The par
ticles are packed in. square frames and
placed in kiln dryer, over the furnace,
where they remain twenty-fOur hours.
They are then taken out, and by means
of curious machines are coiled upon an
ordinary cotton band. On each coil
there is a gross, or Ii, 400 matches, and
the band is between each layer.
A curious arrangement Of the ma
chine is that it will coil nothing but a
perfect match, and throw the defective
one aside. The coiling is slow and one
man can tend five machines, which will
ordinarily coil about a hundred gross
per day. After the coil is made up, the
ends are planed down even and put on
hot iron, which opens the pores Of the
wood. Both ends are then dipped into
melted birthstone, into 4 composition
Of PHOSPHORUS, glue and other mater
ials, and hung upon n rack for ten min
utes, at the end Of which they are dry.
The coils are then unrolled, the match.
