Of the Solomon islands are very quick at
perceiving distant objects, such as ships
at sea, and will pick out birds concealed
in dense foliage some 60 or 20 feet high.
Shepherds and sailors are blessed with

family in Washington and receives many
tender missives from youthful admirers in
her old Ohio home.
Jesse Coxey, the son, is rather harum
scarum youth whose love of adventure not
long ago led him to take a sea voyage Of
nine months duration, during which he
visited South Africa, Ceylon and the West
Indies He also showed the independence
of his character by aiding and abetting
the detection of the "great unknown"
during the march over the Maryland noun
tains, but in due time he repented of his
folly and returned, like the prodigal son,
to his forgiving parents and the family

Mrs. Coxey is tall brunette, quiet and
sensible who is more interested in house
wifely arts than in the mysteries of polit-
ical economy. Just now she is engrossed
in the care Of pudgy baby boy about 8
months old who rejoices in the name Of
Legal Tender. This youth has already
shown decided oratorical abilities and
promises to take vociferous part in the
political discussions of the future

Sympathy and encouragement, for he Is
pre- -eminently self reliant man and &C
cepts the homage and support of those
about him as a matter of course.
Mrs Coxey says that when her husband
first told her of his purpose to march to
Washington she laughed at the idea, but
when she saw that he was really in ear
nest she acquiesced in the plan, and now,
like the dutiful wife that she is, she ex-
presses enthusiastic confidence in his
scheme for good roads and lots of money.
The influence of Coxey's predominating
personality is also shown in the readiness
with which his son Jesse and his daugh-
ter Caroline have followed his varying
fortunes over the rough roads leading to
the national capital.
Miss Caroline Coxey, who is rather
bashful maiden of IS, with blond hair,
blue eyes and rosy cheeks, is daughter
of General Coxey by his first wife, now di-
vorced Although the girl lives with her
mother at Massillon, the general had no diff
