 ssAll this time an army of men is hust- ling after him and every man wants good job.

Some of the Things a Politician Is
 Called Upon to Do.

From the New Ork 1lmeS
 "It's all we'll enough to have the honor and glory of being leader of your district if there is any honor and glory attached to it, but when you come to analyze the mani fold duties of the place you will discover that it's not so pleasant" The speaker was typical Tammy district leader, one of the big chiefs of the wigwam, and character who stands high up in the organ ization because of his ability to "carry" his district under the most trying circum- stances.
 The political district leader, as he is found here in New York, is a thing indig- enous to the metropolis. You find him nowhere else as he is here. He is an out growth of the old ward boss. He is pro- duct of the system of political organiza- zation that obtains here. The Tammy Header" is peculiarly interesting type of this product He is well known in his re- lation to the organization, and in a general way the public knows pretty well how he "runs" his and district and manipulates the machine vote. But there is another side to his life that less is known about and which is not without interest. Ao U1StTlCb lod16T, StlQ the IammanY man, "has more personal duties to per l form for constituents than many persons | have any idea of. He must be both father and mother to portion of his flock. He l is called upon to perform almost all sorts of services for his constituents, and it is in l doing these things that he gets much of l the spull" upon which his individual po- | litical strength is based.
 | There are many persons in every as- sembly district who look upon the district leader as the man who can help them out l of all their troubles. Poor Mrs. Smith is all out of coal and food, and Mr. Brown, l who knows the leader, hurries off to him and tells him of Mrs. Smiths trait. The leader ascertains what he can about the l case and then does his best to provide for l her.
 1 Very often he has to go down into his | own pocket to do it, but that is part of his business. Then, again, Mrs. Smith has no money to pay her rent and is about to be dispossessed. If she can only secure a few days more time in which to get the money to pay up she will be all right and then the leaders influence is brought to
 bear on the landlord.
 Cone of the leaders constituents dies
 and leaves will The widow does moi
 know what to do, and the leader is called
 on to aid her. Mrs. Smiths husband is ar.
 rested and is in sad need of bondsman
 Smith has many. friends, and each friend
 has vote, and the leader sees that the
 bond is procured and does what he can tc l pull Smith out of trouble. Sometimes il
 is Mrs Smith who gets Mr. Smith arrested

Leaves for Textile Purposes. rFro,,o tho New York Telegram

For cordage and other textile purposes numberless leaves are used, and they serve very generally for packing and wrapping up small parcels in India. In Guiana Tibisiri fiber is obtained from the inner surface of the spiral leaves of the Ita palm, Mauritia fexuosa It is used by the In dians for making hammocks, etc. The leaves are cut before they are open, and the midrib separated by drawing each di- vision of the leaf through the finger and thumb. After drying the fiber is ready for use without further preparation. About quarter of 8 pound may be pro duced from each leaf, and if the central leaf is left uninjured no evil effect is pro duced from the tree. Bags and mattings fiber,a as well as hats similar to those known as Panama
