wentup behind her with a lighted match,
and touching the fame to its hair, there
was bright halo around the dolls head
for an instant. and then the cranium was
as bald as if the little thing hadn't been
in the world long enough to grow even
red hair. Rce!elie, seeing what had hap
pened, burst into tears
Twas witness of this bit of ruffian-
ism, and although at that age had con-
siderable contempt for girls in general
and the prevailing contempt for Reddie,
was shocked.

among them, with her baldheaded doll
in her arms, her own bair making up in
illuminating properties for what had been
lost by the singeing of the dolls head.
Throughout that brief struggle until
found myself unable to continue, it
seemed to me that there was but one
visible thing present, and that was Red
dies head.
I limped away from Dick and the
circle, inwardly. planning revenge on
Dick Mclean before the end of the term.
Indeed, I at once told my father de-
sired to take boxing lessons, and receiv-
ing his assent, after three months secret
practice, went up behind my enemy
with a lighted match and burned his
back hair off up to tho crown Of his hat.
Dick turned like fury. His uncontrol-
able anger and my Skill gave me the
day, and I left him with the injunction
that if he wanted any more hair burn

As had expected, after my defeat on
my first encounter, I was set down as
champion of the ugliest girl in the school.

to see her standing BY me, shyly. with
her hand stretched towards me and
something in it, in sight Of half dozen
pupils, was too much.

"You SEEM SURPRISED. -

That was the last saw of Reddie at
school. The next day she was taken
with symptoms which developed into ty-
phoid fever, and was kept at home. Her
absence was great relief to me, and I
wished when she recovered if she ever
should, that she would go to some other

"Shall spin 'em New Years yarn,
auntie2' asked the old gentleman of a
white haired lady who was knitting by
the light on the center table, at the
same time giving her knowing look.
"Of course not" she replied, half
.frowning and half smiling.
'"There's only one thing ever happened
to me on New Years eve, and I've re-
:membered that always"
"Is it love story?' asked one of the
girls.
"Well, a kind of one. Bring out some
nuts and apples, and give us another
stick of wood for the fire, and I'll see
what I can make Of what happened to
me on New Years eve, 1851"
The old gentleman's requirements hav-
ing been attended to, the boys and girls
ranged themselves round the fire and the
story was begun. He looked straight at
|'Auntie" while he told it, evidently en-
,joying its effect upon her more than on
the younger listeners.

! She was the homeliest girl inthe school;
there can be no doubt about that. She
was freckled, her hair was red, not q
dark shade Of red, but fiery. She had
struggled with whooping cough, and
measles, and scarlet fever, and every
other disease that childhood is heir to
until she was little more than skin and
bones. There were girls with faces
more expressive Of disagreeable DISPOSE
tions, but for pure homeliness Reddie
would have taken the prize in any hon
estly conducted show for ugly girls.
Reddie was not her real name, but every

GENERAL FREMONT.

The death of Gen. John Charles
Fremont removes from the stage
of action one of the most interest
ing figures in American history.
He was born in Savanna Jan. 81,
1872, and consequently was in his
18th year. His father was q French
man, his mother was Il Virginian,
and he married a daughter of Sem
ator Thomas III. Benton. Gradual
ed at Charleston college in 1880, he
became instructor of mathematics
in the United States navy in 1888.
Appointed second lieutenant of
Typographical engineers in the
summer of 1887, he began in the
Cherokee country the following
winter the famous explorations
which gave him the sobriquet of
"The Pathfinder" and which cul-
minated in his wrestling Californ-
ia from the NJ exicans, thereby ex-
tending the union from ocean to
ocean. In 1850 he received in rec
ognition of his scientific research
es a gold medal from the king Of
Prussia and another from the
royal geographical society of Lon
don. When the Republican party
was formed in 1855 he was the first
candidate for president and at the
convention of radical Republicans
held in this city i'm 1864, was again
to the same Office.
When the war broke out he was
in Europe. Returning In May,

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

| AhE OVNVhL Loo1VNAL Sll OA AlVN'
At this time, on the very eve OF
the Convention, the situation in
the Congressional candidate ques.
tion presents this aspect:
Fairfield County will appear
backing John G. Reeves with its
full strength. Just how much
more strength Mr.. Reeves will
draw cannot be predicted with
certainty, but Judging from the
distribution of candidates in other
parts of the district it will be small.
Hooking, also presents a candi-
date in the person of o. w. H.
Wright, the popular and eloquent
young attorney, who is making an
active canvass and if nominated
will be strong candidate.
Col s. Weldy is also a candidate
but is moving more quietly than
Mr.. Wright and will not receive
as large vote from the Hooking
delegation as will Mr.. Wright, but
no other candidate need expect
favors from this county until the
chances of these favorities are
finally disposed of. The vote of
Perry county is conceded, at the
start, to Speaker Hysel. who halls
from that ancient and honorable
baliwick.
Morgan has no candidate of her
own and is said to favor Hysel.
Vinton has sable steed, i'm the
person of Judge McGilvery, who
may enter the rateto win should
the track be in good condition.
Jackson will present and stand by
their honored and honorable son,
Irwin DUNCAN.
No one of the candidates has a
match on his hands, for all |
who are named are honorable men
and worthy of support.
We belive Hooking can win the
prize by united and honest effort,
but to do so they must finally
agree on and give undivided sup
port to but one candidate.
The contest promises to be long
and lively, but with the best of
telling.
For the DEMOCRAT we will
say that our voice and influence
shall be first for Hooking County
md in the end for the nominee of
he convention, for,
"We could be happy with either.

"Mr. Haddon may be the only
person guilty, but it points with
unerring and invincible aim at him
(Foraker) possessing guilty knowl-
ege of the whole transaction and
willing to pay money for hushirg
it up"
So much for the state of facts as
found by Gen. Grosvenor, a Repub-
lican, after full investigation.
But the people of Ohio had heard
and passed upon the case in adj
vance of the congressional com.
mittee, and repudiated Foraker
and his methods. Here the matter
might have rested, had not the
rulers of the Republican party in
Ohio seized hold On this defunct
politician, this politician corpse
and attempted to galvanize it into
life at the recent State convention
which was meeting the, primary
object of which was the glorifica-
tion of Foraker.
AS the matter now stands every
citizen who votes the ticket an
nounced in Cleveland, endorses
Foraker, Ballot Box Forgery, and
all the lying and perjury connect
ed with that crime.
