AN OLD STORY,
But None the Less Worth Reading Than 1t
Was Generations Ago.


Was Generations Ago.
Corwin and a number of his Wing
friends were going from one place to
another, and were discussing the situa-
ton and laughing over the prospects Of
Shannon's defeat, when Mrs. Shannon,
whom none of them knew, entered the
stage at one of the minor stations. She
listened to their talk for few mo-
ments and then give them to under
stand that she did not think as they did;
that she was the wife of Governor Shan
non, and that there was no doubt of his
election. This abashed the several gen
tlemen for moment, but Corwin at
once recovered himself and soon began
conversing with Mrs. Shannon. He was
an accomplished conversationalist, and
in a short time she thought the dark
gentleman with whom she was talking
was one of the most polite gentlemen
she had ever met. He told her he
knew her husband well and talked at
length about him, skillfully parrying all
questions which might lead to his giving
her any idea of his own identity. They
finally got to laughing over the cam
paign, and Mrs. Shannon remarked
that it was not possible that such q
man as her husband could be beaten
by a fellow like Tom Corwin, who,
they say, was only wagon boy when
young.
Eyes" said Corwin, "and who goes
round the country speaking from log
cabin"
"And," continued Mrs. Shannon,
''who is as black as the ace of spades"
Eyes" returned Corwin, ''as black as
as black as / am.
So the conversation went on while
Tom Corwin complimented her in yari
Gus ways, taking her baby, which she
had with her, in his arms and handling
it and calling it ''the young Governor. >
When they reached Columbus Mr.. Cor
win carried the baby into the hotel for
her, and as he laid it down said: Mrs.
Shannon, am indebted to you for
very pleasant ride. will now lay down
the young Governor and few weeks
later you will find me laying down your
old Governor as well. | have the honor
to introduce myself to you as Tom Cor
win, the black-faced wagon boy of the
present campaign"
History tells how well Corwin sue
ceeded in verifying his prophecy-how
he was elected Governor in 1910, and
how, five years later, he was sent to the
United States Senate, which he left to
accept the portfolio of the Treasury,
During the time he served as Secretary
of the Treasury he entertained here in
grand style, but during the latter part
of his life he was poor and died bank
rupt. At least his liabilities were greater
than his assets, and it was his good ma
ture in bailing every man who asked
him to do so that made them so.--Ciaap,

NEW YORK FROM THE BAY.


Steamers Deck.
If that eminent English observer who
visited America in the primitive forties
could then write so beautifully of the
grandeur of New York as it appeared to
him when the packet on which he was
a passenger emerged into a noble bay.
''whose waters sparkled like nature's
eyes turned up to heaven" what could
he not say now of the glorious metropo-
lis? Then there lay stretched out be-
fore him confused heaps of buildings,
with here and there only a spire or
steeple looking down upon the frame
and brick work below, and here and
there, again, a cloud of hazy smoke, and
in the foreground forest of ships
masts, CHEEKY with tapping sails
and waving flags. Then there We're
ferry-boats laden with people, coaches,
wagons, baskets and boxes, crossing
from shore TO shore. and never idle and
stately among these restless insects"
were two or three large ships moving
with slow, majestic pace, as creatures
OF prouder kind, disdainful of their
puny journeys, and making for the
broad sea.
How magnified now is this picture
that even then was lovely! To the eve
of the passenger up the bay on bright
October day first breaks through
the veil of distant obscuritv a
broad channel, with sloping banks on
either side, dotted with pleasant villas
and made refreshing by turf and trees.
Then looms into view that dismantled
relic of the late rebellion and its silent
old yellow fortification. And then APP
peared the Battery, with numberless
craft OF sail and steam sweeping around
it from the North into the East river
and from the East into the North river,
and with towers innumerable and smoke
.impenetrable making its BACKGROUND.
Thinking upon the ear is the rattle of
cordage, the clank of capstans and the
joyful singing of whistles, while above
all is the roar and buzz of tho traffic on
the citys streets that can be distinctly
heard. Old slant-roofed dwellings have
been displaced by the colossal Produce
Exchange, the gigantic Mills building.
the tall Field building and the solid
looking gray stone barge office, with its
Jaunty revenue flag ailOrding bit OF
color; and as relief to all this aspect of
commercial life are the spreading green
trees with which the Battery park
abounds. The great bridge stretches
away in the distance, joining the two
cities of New York and Brooklyn, and
in the opposite direction are the biz
docks and elevators of the great railroad
lines that bring produce to the port for
distribution throughout the world.
AT nighttime scene is doubly enhanced
by the brilliancy of electric lights. From
the bay nearly every building is percep-
tible in steely light, and the waters of
che rivers dance with the myriad of re-
Elections. One evening" not long since,
the full moon was observed rising over
the bridge. 1t looked as big as the city
hall clock, and was the color of pump
kin. As it rose higher and higher from
the horizon one of the bridge lights APP
Feared directly in its center, looking
like huge diamond in an immense
gold setting N. Y Herald.

1t is related that Horace Greeley,
when going to California overland in
pre-railroad days, found II grape which
to his taste was most delicious. But
when at great trouble and expense he
had procured and planted a vine in his
garden, and it had borne fruit, TO his
great surprise he found it uneatable, his
only explanation was, that when eating
in the mountains he had been hall
starved.

A CLOSE SHAVE.

A Railroad Mans "Reminiscences of Pioneer
Days on the Border.
A party of men were telling stories in
st. Louis, when one of them said he had
seen a good deal of service on the Dor
der, and had had good many adven-
lures, only one of which ever impressed
him much. Down at Granada, on the
Santa Fe Road, when it was first opened,
he had had circus all one night with
a party of robbers.
Il was in the office in the evening""
he said, getting ready to close up,
when four or five hard men came in.
They didn't say much at first, but
seemed to be looking the ground over.
We were always on the lookout for that
kind of chaps. and as the machine was
ticking | pretended that somebody was
asking me question. l laughed little,
and Selling the key, | broke in with,
'Everybody-Don't stop the express

eyed me sharply, but said moth
ing. The sounder kept up a

of them covered me with pistol the
others tied me flat on my back to set

After they got me there | began to think
what sort Of a scrape | had got myself
in. The train would come presently
and would 90 flying by, and then those
cut-throats would murder me Just for
the fun of it. | had thought the thing
over when l heard a sharp whistle and
a roar. The men ran out to the plat
form with masks on and revolvers in
hand. One of them had the lantern,
which he swung vigorously. In going out

well. | began to hope that the
train would stop, for l knew that it con-
tanned men enough to do up that crowd

roar came nearer and nearer, until at
last | knew by the sound that they were
not going to stop. With the whistle
blowing at full blast and the dust flying
in clouds, she swept by like streak of
lightning. 1t was all up with me,
thought. The robbers dropped the Ian
tern and began to swear. Then / could
hear them talking, and pretty soon /
made up my mind that the train had
stopped down the road a way, and that
they were watching it. Before long
they took to their heels, mounted their
horses and were gone. When the train

Winchesters, was the only occupant
They released me and told them what
had happened. A couple of them stayed
there with me and the train went on.

AT a meeting of the New York
Academy of Medicine, DIR. A. L. Ran
ney recommended the internal use of
hot water in the treatment of nervous
diseases. The theory of its action is
that the nerves of the stomach are di-
rectly influenced by the introduction of
heat into the empty organ, and that the
accessory digestive organs are stimula-
ted by it.-M y. Sun.

Two Poisons.

The Progress Medical describes two
new Oriental poisons, both of which
cause death by aTesting the hearts
action. One of them comes from
Borneo, and is an arrow poison. Almost
all that scientists yet know of it lies in
the number of unfortunate dogs they
have destroyed suddenly with it. OF the
other poison tits stated that an animal
Of medium size wounded with an arrow
whose point has been imbued with it,
would make one bound and then fall
back dead. Even an elephant will sue
cumb to its effects after running half a
mile or so. The composition of the
poison is not yet known, as it is kept
secret by the Mois, from whom a
specimen was obtained by a subterfuge
The substance is said to be innocuous
when taken into the stomach.
