The Governor Appointed Him.

The following story concerning Gov.
Bushnell of Ohio is told by Victor Smith
in the New York Press: When Bushnell
was a candidate for the nomination for
governor, Harry Prettyman, a farmer
with 5000 acres of the finest land in
Ohio, went to the convention and worked
for him. He was a delegate from Madi-
son county. He was unknown in the
state, but when the convention adjourned
every member had made his acquaint-
ance.
Whe Bushnell was elected the farmer
went to him and said abruptly: 'Gov-
ernor, [ should esteem it an honor to
be appointed a member of your staff
The governor hemmed and hawed, and
said he would consider the matter and
confer with the leaders of Madison colln-
ty politics, mentioning the names of
three prominent workers. Prettyman
held up his long finger and exclaimed
in his most dramatic style: Count me
out, governor; count me out. If it is
necessary for you to consult the three
men who have done most to injure you
in the convention and elsewhere before
you can decide upon my appointment, [
wash my hands of it, sir! If am to
be appointed it must be because you
recognize no one in the matter but Harry
Prettyman."
Bushnell looked at him for a moment
and said: ''Col. Prettyman, you are on
my staff

May Manage Next Campaign.

Henry c. Payne, who may manage the
next Republican national campaign, has
had good political training. During the
contest Of 1896 he was one of the most
able of Senator Hanna's lieutenants and
paid special attention to the work in
the Western states. Senator Hanna has
the highest appreciation of Mr.. Payne's
political skill and the general impression
is that should the present chairman re-
tire he would be his successor in the
management Of the next presidential
campaign. Since 1872 Mr. Payne has
served consecutively as secretary and
chairman of the Young Mems Republican
club of Milwaukee, secretary and chair
man of his county committee, and the
same offices in the state central committee
of Wisconsin. Since 1880 he has been
a member of the national committee, and
for ten years he was postmaster at Mil
waukee Mr.. Payne is a busy man at
present, being president of the Milwau.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FREE.

One Of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package of RED CROSS starch, one
large lOc package Of ''HUBING ER'S
BEST starch, two Shakespeare pic
lures, printed IN twelve beautiful col
Ors, as natural as life, or one Twenti-
eth Century Girl Calendar the finest
OF it's kind ever printed, all absolutely
free. All others procuring the Endless
Chain Starch Book will obtain from
their grocer two large 1Oc packages
of starch for sc, and the beautiful pre-
miums, which are being given away.
This offer is only made for a short
time to further introduce the famous
RED CROSS" starch, and the cele-
brated 'HUBINGER'S BEST cold
water starch. RED CROSS laundry
starch is something entirely new, and
is without doubt the greatest inyen-
ton OF the twentieth century. 1t has
10 equal, and surpasses all others. 1t
has won for itself praise from all parts
OF the United States. 1t has suppressed
ed everything heretofore used, or
known to science in the laundry art.
1t is made from wheat, rice and corn,
and is chemically prepared upon scien-
tific principles by J. G. Hubinger, an
expert in the laundry profession, who
has had twenty-five years of practical
experience in fancy laundering, and
who is the first successful and original
inventor OF all fine grades of starch in
the United States. If you would have
the best, ask for RED CROSS and
"HUBINGER'S BEST which are the
finest starcheS on the market to-day.
The jobbing houses all handle it, the
retail grocer has it on his shelves, you
find Il in all the homes, while the care
full housewife has adorned the walls
of the house with the beautiful Shak-
speare pictures which are being given
away in introducing cred CROSS"
and "HUBINGER'S BEST" starch.
