the sleigh bells Jingle in winter just as mcrrily
as ever.
There have been some changes in sleigh bell
customs. Shaft bells and bells fixed on the sad
die OF the harness have TO some extont taken
the place OF the old.time string Of bells on
straps, but the strings OF bells are still tho more
commonly used. Probably a third of tho bell
outfits sold nowadays are Of the kind that fas.

two-thirds are strings OF bells. The bells ex-
ported arc In about the same proportions. The
bells attnched.to shafts and harness are open

shaft bells are made with all three in n set

Service In the State Government Has LED TO
Higher AOnOrS.
Attention was directed some time ago to tho
fact that Martin Van Buren,, afterward Presi.
dent of tho United States. held in 1915 the
post Of Attorney General OF New York In Al
bany, and that Aaron Burr. afterward Vice
President Of the United States and q candidate
for the Presidency, held the same office some
years before. The Attorneys-G General OF New
York have not been particularly distinguished
in the records OF political life, but the other
posts OF executive authority In the State Gov
eminent have been held by many men after
ward celebrated.
Nearly forty years before he became Cover.
nor of the State John A Dix was Secretary Of
State IN Albany and Chauncay II. Depew, then
Q private citizen Of Peekskil, Westchester
county, was elected Secretary Of State thirty
four years ago. William l.. Marcy and Sllas
Wright. two OF the most distinguished New
held the office OF state Comptroller. which was
held also by Willard Fillmore, who resigned IL
dent OF the United States; BY Washington
Hunt. who resigned 1t TO become Governor; by
Sanford E Church. the nrst Chief Judge OF the
present Court OF Appeals, and by Lucius Robin
son, afterward Governor. In fact, there have
been few posts in the State administration in
to higher political hon5rs. HoraIo Seymour
was Speaker OF the Albany Assembly many
years before he became n candiuate Tor tho
office OF Governor. Alonzo b. Cornell was
Speaker OF the Albany Assembly Dix years be-
fore his election to be Governor, Daniel y.
Lamont, whose success in the field OF politics
has been remarkable. began his official career as
chief clerk IN the office of The Secretary OF State
when John Bieelow was at the head Of II, and tho
list of New York Governors and Lieutenant.
Governors who have risen on the political
ladder is a pretty long one. These Governors
OF New York were Observation-Disclosures for
the Presidency; George Clinton. Martin Van
Samuel J. Tilden. and Grover Cleveland. WIZ
liam II. Seward. after having been Governor
Of New York, was Secretary Of State in the
Cabinet of Abraham Lincoln, and Hamilton
Fish, under like circumstances. occupied II like
place In the Cabinet Of President Grant. John
Jay. former Governor OF New York, WAS Chief
Judge OF the United states Supreme Court.
and Stewart L. Woodford, elected Lieutenant
Governor more than thirty years ago, Is how
United States Minister In Madrid.
Perhaps the fact that New York has long

something TO do with this, but. be the reason
what 1t may. the fact Ii undeniable that very
few ambitious american statesmen have any
reason 10 regret their service in the old town
