Tab, go out and bring in that gum
back log and put it on the fire. Tab
went out and surveyed the log. He
knew that it was no use explaining that
it was too heavy, nor prudent for him
to return without having it upon his
shoulder. His little sister, passing, was
not surprised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder horn, as
a 'possum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear signs
She brought the gun and Tab started.
He found the way through the woods
into Kentucky in 1891. After an absence
of eighteen years he was elected to Con
gress. A man of immense size and
strength, he started for Washington, go
ing by the way Of his old home to see
the folks who had long since given him
up for dead. Entering the little cabin
yard near bed time. he saw the identi>

Loaning Uncle Sans Money

Spgina1ield Ohio Special; The cam.
palgn IN some Ohio counties is beginning
to warm up now that all four political
parties have nominated State tickets.

to bankers at and per cent, and that
it ought TO loan farmers money at che
same rate. 1t seems from the following
letter, received to-day by the editor OF

Sherman has heard of no such loans by
the Government. He wrote from Mans

banks, but solely for the convenience OF the peo-
PIE ana the security OF the Govel nnent. In
such cases the bank has TO give security in
United states bonds equal to the amount OF de-
posits, and the money may be drawn by the
Government on call.
lit is also true that during President Cleve-
