UNCLE DICK OGLeSBY.
Two Characteristic Stories of the Genial
Ex-Governor of Illinois.

Two Characteristic Stories of the Genial
Ex-Governor of Illinois.
I think it was during the Cleveland
Blaine campaign that ex-GoverID Dr
Oglesby CT Illinois, Uncle Dick, as
he is familiarly known, first made a stay
of any length i'll New York.
He and companion had sumptuous
luncheon. .ered of course by the intro
ducer, who wound up by inviting the
governor to smoke The clerk at the ci-
gar counter handed out some fine Havana
cigars Uncle Dick was about to take
one, when some thought arrested his
hand, and he asked:
whats the price of these?"
Twenty five cents, " was the reply.
Holy smoke - calculated the govern
on. Put 'em backl Put 'em back,
quicki"
but, governor. this is my treat,
said his friend
"Daren't do It'll Daren't do it Put
'em back!''
Yes, but governor
ST tell you / daren't do it. Why,
man, if they should ever find out in Il
inois that / smoked % cent cigar in
New York, they'd turn me out Of the
church, and it would ruin me politically
forever. Daren't do it Ten cent cigars
are good enough for me in New York
and centers at home.
Uncle Dick always prided himself on
his success in campaigning when called
upon to reach a man s vote through his
family pride
On one of his tours he passed through
country town in Illinois, when he
came suddenly upon a charming group
"a comely woman with bevy of little
ones about her-in garden with high
picket fence in front of it. He stopped
short. then advanced and leaned over
the front gate
Madam. said he in his most in
gratiating way, may kiss these beau

Certainly, sir, the lady answered
demurely. there is no possible objec-

The lady continued blushing.

Indian Reform.

Indian Territory affairs would b.
reformed into order, if not into OF
ganized civilization, under the system
which the administration is about
to lay before congress.
And the proposed commission
would be the most powerful body O.
the continent. Put on such a con-
mission some of the fellows Grar.
had about him and they could in two
or three years retire to palaces. Tie
system proposes to endow the presi-
dent with a power of veto upon all
Indian legislation. The commission
is to represent the president and do
the supervising.
The provision which gives the
Federal courts supervision and re-
view of Indian courts is so entirely
good that it would atone in practice
for many defects.
Though the proposed commission
would offer immense opportunities
of abuse, the reform, considered as a
whole, would be a godsend to the
people in and adjacent to the terri
tory.-St Louis Republic,
