TO nominate Mckinley. So much for the
size Of the investment up to the nomina-

PETER of Kansas is doing considerable
talking about politics just now. He has
had three or four interviews in the papers
within a week, and the campaign is just
fairly begun. PETER has picked cut a
presidential ticket for the populists. Gov.
Holcombe of Nebraska and Tom Watson
Of this state are his favorites. He says
the populists do not want Teller for Presi-
dent, and that Taubeneek and the other
members of the steering committee that
went to s.. Louis perpetrated a treacher-
Gus impertinence when they attempted to
speak for the populists in behalf of Teller.

Cincinnatus Bland is at home, on his
farm at Lebanon, Mo. while mis- man
ayers are hustling for delegates for him.
Dispatches from Lebanon says he IS fol-
lowing the plow steadily day after day.

1t is stated that since Maj. McKinley's
nomination he has received as many as
1900 letters a day from admirers" con-
graduating him and predicting his sue
cess. In campaigns of the past it has been
the most practiced custom to visit the can
didate personally, to shake his hand and
whisper in his ear the name of the office
the visitor felt it his duty to accept. 1t
seems that this year the republicans are
going to vary the programme by writing
letters. Or it may be that they are going
to write and make personal visits also

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE NOBODY MAN.

I walked one day, long, long way,
Down to Topsy-Turvy Town.
Where it's day all night, and it's night all
day
In the Land Of Upside Down.
And who do you think was walking round?
Imagine 1t II you can:
In the land of Upside Down found
The Nobody Man!
His head was bowed, and he groaned aloud,
With the burden that he bore:
Misdeeds and mishaps, a wonderful crowd,
TIL there seemed no room for more.
"And why are you so heavily tasked,
On such an unequal plan?'
As / sat on a wayside seat, asked
The Nobody Man.
He sat him nigh with doleful sigh,
And he said: 'It needs must be;
What Nobody does at home so sly
Is shouldered here by me.
The slips and mishaps that are, soon or
late,
Denied by the careless clan,
In the Land of Upside Down all weight
The Nobody Man."
He passed along with doleful song,
This overburdened wight,
And, bowed with the weight of other folks
wrong.
He hobbled out of sight;
And don't understand how It all can be,
Or why he should bear this ban,
But-well, twas wonderful thing to see
The Nobody Man! Hra n
Winthrop Packard, in st. Nicholas.
