Nominated For Governor of Ohio
CHICAGO PLATFORM ENDORSED.

GAINESVILLE, o., Aug. 30.-The Dem
ocratic State Convention closed to-
night after dav of dramatic plays.
While there were half dozen other can
Slidates for Governor,the Mclean men
have claimed everything with such
confidence that they undertook TO be
msgnanimous in the minor parts, al
though they were at the same time
careful that the star candidate was
not eclipsed. They stated early in the
day that the first ballot would nave
none of the second vote for Mclean,
that none of the reserves would be
called out till the second ballot, and
that all candidates would have their
respective votes on the first ballot. In
this play Mclean was nominated on
the first ballot by half vote and the
figuring was so close that the dra-
matte scene of changes on tue
ballot with second ballot with second
choice reserves flocking to the Mclean
standard did not take place. 1t is
claimed that Mclean could have had
47S votes out of SO2 on the fret ballot,
instead of 1921, aud that he would
have had over 900 on the second bal
lot. -.
Hon. A. w. Patrick was chosen as
the nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
The platform endorses the Chicago
platform in its entirety; endorses
Bryan; opposes imperialism, trusts,
etc. takes a whsck at the Hanna and
the Mckinley Administration, and is
q first-class Democratic instrument in
every respect.

ruE NAME STEWART.
what Il the Correct Spelling Of the
Eaue7

Manner
At a recent meeting OF the Clan
Stewart Society in Glasgow. Col. John
Stewart Of Ardvoirlich, who presided
referring to the different ways OF spell
ing the clan name, said that the 'dif-
ferent ways Of spelling the name arose
either from accidental causes or other
well-deflned reasons. The final letter
4 was substituted for the d. Of the
original name Steward for the sake
Of euphony. The spelling Of the name
Steuart was quite accidental, arising
probably from the illegibility Of the
writing Of some member; while the
spelling Of Stuart was caused by Queen
Mary. on her return from France, u.s.
ing the French spelling Of her name, to
which she had been accustomed, and
many clansmen perpetuated the royal
spelling. But In whatever way they
spelt their name, they all came from
the original stock. Nor does this end
the matter, for It may be remembered
by many that the Earl OF Galloway re-
fused TO take part in the collection OF
the Stuart exhibition" In London in
1889. because the committee refused to
spell the name Stewart" as his lord
ship himself does. He maintained that
this was the only correct photography,
and held alcof from the exhibition
which disregarded this assertion. This,
however. seemed rather high-handed,
especially when we discover by refer
ence to historical documents that near
/ ly all the famous people of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries spelt their
names in two or three different ways.
/ In short, there was no proper spell
ing though Mary Queen of Scots al
ways wrote Stuart" for the simple
reason that she was educated In France
and the French alphabet had no w.
Earlier kings OF her race spelt theiI
names Steward" or Stewart" OF
STUART" at the fancy OF the moment
when they held the pen. We have near
ly thirty different ways on record o.
spelling the surname Of Stewart II
English, Gaelic, French, Latin, Italian
Spanish and Dutch, as follows; Stew
ard, Stewart, Stewart. Stuart, Stuard

Edmond Gosse has written paper on
"Stevenson's Relation with Children, +"
in Chambers Journal. In it he relates
a story of his youthful days, as mar
rated to himself by Stevenson. He was
still little fellow when in the summer
holidays, after reading a number of
detective novels of bad kind, he was
passing one Sunday afternoon along a
road in an Edinburgh suburb. There
he saw a deserted house, furnished, but
without caretaker. 1t struck young
Stevenson that it would be a fine thing
to break into the house. which he ac-
cordingly did, roaming from room to
room, looking at books and pictures in
great excitement, until he thought he
heard a noise in the garden. Terror
seized upon him as he imagined him
self handcuffed and conveyed to prison
just as the church folks were returning
home. He burst into crying, then man

REASONS WHY HORSES SHY
Humorous Explanation of Their Fear of
Newspaper.


Newspaper.
The mortal terror OF newspapers to
which even the most intelligent horse
is prey is certainly a mystery. If a
horse meets a torn newspaper lying
in the middle of the road he is seized
with a conviction that it is on the
point of tearing him to pieces, and
accordingly he falls into a spasm OF
terror. l presume that the scientific
explanation of this fact is that the
prehistoric horse was severely abused
by the newspapers OF the time. and
that his descendants have thus inner
tied a horror OF newspapers. But like
most scientific explanations of familiar
mysteries. this would not be worth no
tieing. Why should the prehistoric
newspapers have insulted the horse?
Did the cave men lose their money on
horse races and then write abusive let
tiers to the newspapers, pointing out
the untrustworthy character of the
horse? It is very doubtful IL they did
anything of the sort, chiefly for the
reason that newspapers did not exist
IT, prehistoric times. To come back to
the horse and his fear Of newspapers.
1t may be said that the newspaper ter
rifles him SSeis BECAUSE i moves in the wind
and he thinks it is ai7Se; bu. the
leaves Of trees move in the VIVIAN
the human boy moves with or without
wind under the very hoofs of the horse.
yet the horse is not afraid of these
things. Clearly he is not afraid of a
stray newspaper because 1t may be
blown across his path. Moreover, he
is as much afraid of newspaper that
does not move as he is of one which is
in motion. The true exhibition of a
horses fear of newspaper is that in
the code of equine etiquette it is con-
sidefed good form to appear to- be
afraid of newspapers. All animals have
their ideas as to what is good form
and cling tenaclously to them. The dog
does not bark at very young children,
because it is contrary to canine ETH
quette to do so. The cat, who is an

with half-dead mouse merely because
playing with half-dead mice is consid-
cred among all cats of good breeding
to be the correct thing to do. The
horse, knowing that II he did not pre-
tend to be frightened nearly out of his
life by a newspaper he would be re-
gsrded by all other horses as an ignor-
ant and ill-bred beast. SHES whenever

Day dreaming and the building OF
fantastic castles in the air is not half
so innocuous and harmless a pleasure
as it seems. The day dreamer. accord
ing to medical experts. is akin to q
lunatic. Children and old men who
revel in day-dreams have mental char
acteristics of the insane. Often they
tell lies, not because they lack the
moral sense. but because they have
distorted in themselves Imagination
Gradually they lose the requisite will
power to concentrate their minds on a

gin to wander. Then it is only race
