delphia, and In 1t business Is tonduc.ed on
the same plan and scale as IN the Philadel-
phia house. The purchase Of the New York
concern was the largest operation Of the
kind in the history Of this country, II not
in the world
Mr. Wanamaker employs in his Phila-
delphia business between 5000 and 1000
persons; sometimes, during holiday sea
sons, nearly 5000. The relations between
the head of the great house and his en-
ployes have been of the most intimate and
cordial character. While enforcing abso-
lutte discipline in the conduct of his busi-
ness he has ever considered the material
welfare of those employed by him As
early as 1868 he presented to 40 Of his EN-
ployes a one year policy of life insurance.
According TO the plan instituted by him
some years ago such of his employees as
served continuously for seven years re-
ceived a percentage of the profits, and in
the first year after this arrangement was
effected the amount thus divided among
his salesmen, etc, was 500, .6S. includ-
ing $4,000 set aside as an addition TO the
pension fund for their benefit which Il
regularly sustained.
His Political Experience.
Mr.. Wanamaker's business career has
been supplemented by an equally useful
and successful participation in politics.
He has long taken an active part In local
political movements In the presidential
campaign of 1888 he served as chairman of
committee appointed to promote the Re
publican cause, which aided materially in
the successful outcome of that canvass.
When General Harrison entered the Presi-
Dental office in March 1889, he rendered
Mr.. Wanamaker n seat in the cabinet as
postmaster general, a position for which
he was pre-eminently qualified by his long
business training. He introduced into
the department the business methods
which had been so successful in his pri-
vate life, and Lader his management the
postal sarvice.of the country acquired
unprecedented degree of efficiency. Mr..
Wansmaller entered, with his accustomed
activity, upon the presidential campaign
of 1895. He made a tour of Pennsylvania
extending through twenty-four counties,
and at every one Of the many meetings
which he addressed he brought home TO
his hearers the vital issues OF the hour,
especially AS seen from the business mans
standpoint Great numbers of people
flocked to the meetings at which he was
announced to speak, and his face became
familiar to ten of thousands of our cti-
zens TO whom his name and reputation
had alone been previously known.
Should Mr. Wnnamaker be chosen TO
the United States senate, the Keystone
state would have brilliant representa-
tive in the hi CHEST Legislative body of the
nation; one in whom the citizens of the
comm monwealth might justly take pride.

"Oh, thank you"
you see it is like this: When we
were in Quebec think l told you
about that-the New York Argus sent
man to find out what we had report
ed, OF We're going TO report, to the Lon
don syndicate
Yes, you told me that"
"Rivers was his name. Well, this
same paper, finding that Rivers had
failed, after having stolen the docu-
ments, has tried a much more subtle
scheme, which promises TO be much
more successful. They have put on
board this ship q young woman, who
has gained n reputation for learning
secrets not intended for the public.
This young woman IS Miss Brewster,
who sits next TO Wentworth at the
table. Fate seems to have played right
into her hand and placed her beside
him. They became acquainted, and,
unfortunately, my friend has told her
a great deal about the mines, which
she seemed to have an interest in. Or,
rather, she pretended to have an in
terest in him, and so he spoke, being,
of course, of his guard. There is no
more careful fellow in the world than
George Wentworth, but man does not
expect that a private conversation with
lady will ever appear in newspaper"
Naturally not"
''Very well, that is the state of things.
In some manner Wentworth came to
know that this young woman was the
special correspondent of the New
York Argus. He spoke TO her about
it, and she is perfectly frank in saying
she is here solely for the purpose OF
finding out what the reports viii be,
and that the moment she gets tc

discovered to New York.

They walked up and down the deck
in silence for two or three turns.
Then Miss Longwood looked up at Ken
yon and said:
'Will you place this matter in my
hands?"
Certainly; if you will be so kind as
to take any interest in it."

"Have you any plan?"

"Ah, yes" said Kenyon, "but we
haven't the money, you see"
Never mind; the money viii be

more about it. am sure that can be ar

affairs, and have besides enlarged his
means of usefulness by bringing him into
personal contact with the leaders of his
own party in all parts of the Union. There
Is no doubt of his fitness-The Record
Claims to Confederation.
Mr.. Wanamaker's claims to considers
tion are specially enforced by the justice
OF the demand that Pennsylvania sena.
torship shall, at last, after lapse of sixty
two years, be filed by Philadelphian.
His large range of information, his ex-
perience, his persuasive powers of public
speaking, and his intimate acquaintance
with the problems of finance and business
which will engage the attention OF the
senate in the next few years, all go far to
commend him As man who could make
the voice OF Pennsylvania heard and re-
spected in the national councils.-The
Evening Bulletin.
The Logical Candidate.
1t is no disrespeet to the other distin-
guished men Of Pennsylvania who aspire
to position in the senate TO say that Mr.
Wannmaker embodies the best attributes
TO make an efficient, useful and honorable
career in the senate, and to reflect credit
alike upon him and the great state he
would represent in the highest legislative
tribunal of the nation. He is tho rhly
familiar with all the great financ som
mercial, manufacturing and indus .al in
terests of the commonwealth. Il not
only familiar with them in theory, at he
has acquired the practical infor alton
that is most valuable in statesm aship,
and he possesses also the ability to cefend
his convictions before the people or in the
forum of the senate. 1t was only logical,
therefore, that the Business Mems League
of this city should present his name to the
Pennsylvania legislature for the highest

Community from an Humble Begin
ming.
John Wanamaker, whose name is now
most prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with the succession to Cameron in
the United States senate, is a typical
American, and the story Of his life might
serve as an illustrative example of the
career open to every American as intelli-
gent as energetic, rs industrious and as
honorable az he has proved himself TO be.
He was born on July Z. 1888, in the lower
part Of Philadelphia county, which was
then 'in the country, though since in
cluded within the city limits. His father,
Nelson Wanamaker was a brickmaker,
and the education his son received was in
attendance ar the Landrcth public school.

tered upon his long and successful busi-
ness career as boy in book store, the

wept over the loss of sight and hearing
and teeth. But the baby Who could
stand beside little bit of grave like
that and be satisfied and thankful In re-
gard to the resurrection? Not Mary
Tyler, certainly.
'Why couldn't the Lord a-talien herr"
Mrs. Tyler stood in the door Of her little
cottage; her eyes were gazing down the
road as she strained her ears to catch
the sound of child's voice sobbing.

and also came to the door. cts hard

Pete Tyler, tell you there's some'n

Pete went back to his chair, for what
words of comfort could he offer? She
wouldn't hear of going to church; she
wouldn't listen to any talk of the far-of
resurrection. She wanted her baby
close in her arms. She wanted its
morning kiss, she wanted to rock it to
sleep at nights.

the woman in the doorway. She had
thrown her apron over her head and was
leaning heavily against the frame.
"Give her back to me. Lord!"
"That amt a-doin' no good" said the
man, soothingly.

The man walked heavily across the
floor and into the bedroom. This
mood was worse than the other. PEG.
pie had always called Mary Tyler a
sensible woman; but she had never
had any rea! trouble before, only fruit
spelling on her hands and the like.
She had been good woman, too, and
It did seem hard that the Lord should
try her beyond her strength. 1t did
seem awful. too, to hear Mary talking
IN that desperate fashion about giving
the Lord a chance. How much better
it would be to stand by the Uncovered
mound and, bowling to the Almighty's
will, be content to wait. Life after all
was short, and the baby, why the baby
had gone out of heap Of trouble, not
doubt of 1t. a warm tear splashet;
on Pete Tyler's rough cheek. She was
such cunning little maid. If Only
the old ceremonies were not altogether
laid aside, If only it were possible that
woman, praying all night with her
eyes upon graveya; i, could cause
the resurrection of that dainty faxen-
haired baby. With what an amount
of energy she used to pull his boots
across the floor in the evening, get
ting them out of sight. How quietly
she used to sit on the stool at his feet
and "iink!"
Mary Tyler turned the lamp dim be-
fore she took up her vigil at the win
dow. She had worked herself into TIE
right spirit. She was humble and sub
missive; she called herself hard names
to the Lord, but she wanted her baby;
more than anything on earth or in
Heaven she wanted her baby. She
would be thankful for the favor;
though she lived to be an old, old
woman she would never get over be-
ing thankful. She would be model

continued the woman's voice, with n
plaintive ring in it. THAT little thing

fer to git to Heaven; but my baby was

starin' at me hard. Lord, take thath
and let me hev mine."
"Come in and shet the door," urged
Pete.
''The church bell is ringin'," cried
Mary, dropping her apron and turning
her fearful eyes toward her husband.
"All them people will come a-crowdin'
up from the village. They amt got no
sorrow; they kin set and listen and be-
lieve; but can't"
She came in then and shut the door.
She went to work and cooked the sup
per. She put it on the table and seated
herself behind the steaming teapot; but
she did not cat.
"Help yourself to drop Of the tea, "
said Pete; "it'll make you feel better"
Mrs. Tyler shook her head.
'Let me give you a bit of the toast.
Folks must eat fer to live"
II can't eat said the woman. "After
awhile the bell will ring agin. After
awhile the people will git out Of their

acquiesced the woman. "Pete. I'm
Sunnc tell you some'n. I'm gunno sit

yard and pray. Tn gunno asst the Lord
in the right sperit fer to let her come
back. Sech things has ben done-thc

&. A dubious expression stole over
Pete's face. "Therc amt none of them

lessly. "You'd best 60 to bed, Mary;
and eff you want TO pray, why in the

"When you hear the singin'," re.
peated Pete, with sigh, you'll git

"Mebbe as I'll hev her in my arms
when I hear the singin'."
All the sadness had gone from Mary
Tyler; there was q jubilant light in her
eyes. "Mebbe when you como out from

up in my lap. Mebbe as her head'll be
