B. W. PERKINS name. When he
was informed what to insert in the one
blank space he wrote ''R. w. Perkins
and handed the document to the gov
ernor, who in his bold hand attached
his signature. Secretary Smith then
carried it to the office of the secretary
Of state to secure his signature and the
great seal of the state.
Secretary of State Higgins was in
the office of Judge Ben F. Simpson for
a final chat over the chances of his
friend. He had given up, however. and
had only the most forlorn hope that
Simpson would be chosen Not five
minutes before he had predicted that
Perkins was the man.
Secretary Smith sent for the secre-
tary of state and he came down stairs
The commission was presented to him
He read it carefully and reluctantly
attached his name to it Had his
deputy been in the office it is altogether
probable that his signature would have
adorned the paper instead of that of
the secretary of state
The commission was at once returned
to the governors office and presented
to the newly made senator as a New
Years gift

FATHER OHRwALDER, who recently
escaped from Omdurman, has written
a letter to the widow of Oliver
Pain, describing her husbands death.
Ohrwalder says that Pain. after
being captured by the Mahdi, was
chained as a spy and caught fever
while en- route to Khartoum. He was
not allowed to halt, however, but was
hoisted on a camel and being too i'll to
retain his seat he fell head foremost
and was then buried alive.
