every step he took, and the low cut vest
displayed exactly in the middle OF Hat
and narrow chest diamond as big as a
hazelnut. Altogether the richest man in
Dakota'was q picturesque and ugly man to
look at.
'Drinks alone of course" sighed the man
who had called him ''Sam''-'tgoes right by
and drinks alone, although I own farm

A Stray Bit Of Politics.
Every adult of intelligence in Indiana
knows Sol Hathaway, editor of the Lade-
pendent, at Indianapolis. A strong face and
huge frame-a man full of stories and west
ern "reminiscences. The man by his side,
grav-bearded, lame and suave Of manner, is
Hughes East, long private secretary to the
late Thomas A. Hendricks.
John G. New is responsible for Presi-
dent Harrison, said Mr.. Hathaway-"New
and 'Lige Halford. They made Harrison
and Harrison is paying them pretty well
for it. Halford used.to write press notices
and send them to the country papers
throughout the State asking the editors to
insert them in their editorial columns, so
that the Journal could copy them.- 1t is a
weakness of the country press to be desir-
GUS of being copied In the central State
organ and about every one of them re-
sponded. In this way remarkable unan-
unity of public sentiment in Indiana ap-
peared to favor Harrison's nomination.
New owes every dollar he has in the world
to Harrison for services rendered in that
national bank case at Indianapolis. He
settled the score and had a balance in his
favor when Harrison was nominated. New
circulated 10000 copies Of his paper every
day at the convention. He wanted to be
of ha Troo
would liked to have appointed him,
only he dared not do it. But he gave him
place worth in hard cash as much as the
Presidency, and 'Lige is still Harrison's ad-
vance agent
A Pointer on Wheat Handling.
'I have been weighing wheat in South
Dakota" remarked living image of Sena-
tor Joe Blackburn, showing his hands across
a Palmer House spittoon as big as half
bushel, "and look at my hands. The grain
dust is worse than Chicago CRIME. I have
been at it now for eight years and this is
my first time of. All those who ever
worked with me are now dead. Two years
is the usual limit of such a life, but have
taken better care Of myself I always wear
a nose and mouthpiece of moist sponge on
duty, and the neglect of that precaution
will kill any man in two or three years
Line grain DUST IS not Wholly QlsdSreeaUle
and it thus deceives healthy men-it is
deadly. 1t goes into the flesh like flint
Under microscope it resembles splinters
of glass. I never go to bed without good
bath and hearty rub and by this con.
tinual fight have survived all the weighers
I ever knew. Only my eyes have suffered
and I am now consulting an oculist to see if
I can't get them fixed up. 1 have 100,00
bushels of wheat waiting my return.
Facts About Chicago Feet.
soTalk about Chicago feet" said travel
ing man from Philadelphia, 'Ive just sold
the biggest lot of shoes-I mean a lot of the
biggest shoes-st Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Never noticed the big feet there? Well if
you will go along the street and look into
the retail stores you'll see an average that
will strike you dumb about Chicago feet.
They are not in it. There are good many
Scandinavians up there and ethey all have
big feet, men and women. Northern
nationalities always have big feet-Southern
small ones and better shaped. 1 don't
know why it is but it is so. The feet of our
own Southern people are famous. My
house couldn't sell that bill of goods in
Louisville, except for the use of the negro
farm hands"
