April Ist WAS a beautiful day. bat the
number Of people here from the country
Was not as large rs on former similar
dates. This was perhaps attributable To
the farmers being unusually busy. but
more to the fact that April lst is no longer
regarded as the most suitable occasion for
the settling up of business affairs The
two National banks, however, were kept
quite busy from the hour of opening to
closing time, and the volume of business
transacted was quite large Money was
easily obtainable on good security.

The Woes of Hanna.

There is no rest for Mark Hanna. Three
years ago he started his campaign forth
nomination OF Mckinley yfor President That
was a comparatively easy task, as the peo-
pie were with him. Yet Mr.. Hanna put in
two years Of solid work to make sure of sue
cess. Last year he had upon his shoulders
the burden OF q great campign. No sooner
was that victor woa than Mr.. Hanna found
himself surrounded by officeseekers. For
seven months they have been after him
day and night. Now Mfr. Hanna has another
big job on his hands 1t is to carry the
State of Ohio at the fall elections and save
his own seat in the Senate. Is 1t any Won
der that Mr.. Hanna is getting tired?
Mr. Hanna moves his office from room to
room and from floor to floor in the Airing
ton Hotel where he lives. As soon as the
offIceseekers locate him in one room and
overrun him. he moves between midnight
and daylight to quarters far away in the
big house, downstairs or upstairs. In q
day or two the crowd has found him out.

The Ira.cible Whistler.

One night Whistler dropped into Sir
Henry Trvipg's rooms 60 dinner. Other
guests were present, but Whistler alone
was silent TWO Of his landscapes adorned
the walls, and apparently he wanted no

utes he would jump up from the table to
get better view of his own work. At
length, after a prolonged examination OF
these studies in the moonlight and moor
land. he cried out, Irving, Irving, look

inquired irving, walking up to- the pic
