bearer for the Presidency He was, in
fact, the pioneer of the Mckinley boom in
the Northwest. When Minnesota selected
its delegates to the National Republican
Convention, to be held in st. Louis in
June 1896 it named the former governor
as chairman of its delegation. When Mr..
Merriam appeared at st. Louis he was not
only recognized as the Republican leader
of the Northwest, but as the great cham
pion OF the political fortunes from that
section of Mr.. Mckinley. He was made
a member of the committee on resolutions
in the convention, and has been credited
with the honor of having drafted the
financial plank of the platform.
He is in every sense man Of affairs.
gentleman of fine business qualifications,
who made, it is said. most excellent
governor. He has been on intimate terms
with the leading politicians of the country
for number of years. and has enjoyed the
intimate friendship of Senator Hanna, with
whom he has at various times had more
or less business relations. 1t is not known.
nor is il stated, that Mr.. Hanna was in any
way responsible for the selection OF Mr..
Merriam for the place of Director of the
Census.
1t Will be remembered that about three
months ago Mr.. Merriam purchased a very
handsome residence in Nineteenth Street,
where he now resides. Like many other
gentlemen OF means. he has selected
Washington as place OF at least tenn
porary residence, where he and his family
may enjoy the many social opportunities
at the National Capitol.
There were a number of other appli-
| cants for the position, all of whom We're
| highly recommended as possessing special
| fitness for the position.

| the name of Mr.. Merriam was seriously

How To Keep Young.
From Harper's Bazar.1


II we take a little leaf out of the mind
cure books we can have physical reJuvena-
tion through youthful spirit, which must
find expression. Cast away sadness-for
that is hateful to youth-and cultivate in
stead a real interest in all that is going
on. whether in the world about you or IN
the great world. Observe a young girl OF
normal intelligence who has not been
spoiled" Could anything be more strik
ing than her keen voracious interest in
contrast 10 the tired apathy Of her elders? =?
Keep your interest alive. feeding it on a
catholicity Of subjects. as you value your
youth for If certain mental muscles are
not used they will atrophy and you Will be
old. no matter what is the date of your
birth. Every human being you encounter
is the central point of the universe from
his or her point of view; how, then. can
such a one escape the interest OF others :?
Every life has It's life aims Just as vital as
yours. Interest yourself In others. and
with no such intent at heart, y0U will find
the spirit refreshed.
Away back IN nursery days We learn OF
the little girl who wept in contemplating
the bridge she did not have to cross after
all; but the lesson did not so very deep, for
we keep on worrying, until we have lines
up and down the forehead and lines across.
THE thirty-year marks" they call them,
but that is mistake. Thirty years Of wor-
ry would wrinkled a marble forhead, but
thirty years OF optimism would keep
smooth the most delicate skin. Worry
spoils the digestion and brings ill-health,
which in turn ruins beauty. Worry en-
wraps the mental faculties and prevents
them from free exercise, hampering judg-
ment and shutting out light. Even those
who do 1t most know these things well, yet
still keep on; for not TO worry means q
condition OF spiritual strength and eleva-
ton which is only attained by gradual
process, and every one has not learned the
way. The lines on the face are the ex-
preston Of ''the body's guest" They will
come; but who could object to a crinliiing
around the eyes that make a smile the
merrier, or lines about the corner of the
mouth that have kindly meaning? Such
lines stamp the face with undying youth.

AN EMBARRASSING PROXY.
The GuiIeIess Minister and the
ThouwhtIess Ohlce boy.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
A local Clergyman was down town one
of the recent ultra-Zero mornings. and de-
string to call upon a parishioner whose
place of business is in Water Street, he
stepped into the Office of another parish
ioner on the Avenue. near Erie Street. with
the intention of calling up the Water
Street man by phone and finding out how
long he would be in his Office, the pastor
not relishing the idea of the long walk in
the piercing cold
The Avenue parishioner was not in His
Office boy had the big room all to himself.
My lad" said the pastor, Il wish you
would call up Mr.. Dash. main steen-
nOught. and ask how long he will be in
his office, and, if ne isn't there, find out
when he will be in. My fingers are so cold
don't think could hold the receiver"
Yes, sir said the polite boy. Who
shall | say wants 10 know
REV. Mr.. Blank" replied the pastor. as
he drew up a chair beside the steam radia-
tor.
Pretty soon he heard the boy say:
is this main 'steen- nought?"
There was a brief silence. Then the boy
went on
Yes, yes. I've got 'em-HuIlo. Is the
boss in?-what's that?-Who's this
talking? Why, it's the Rev. Mr.. Blank
No. Blank-Blank, Blank, Blank,-What's 5
the matter with you, Lizzie? This is the
Rev. Mister Blank, Got it?-Don't get
funny, grille What do | want to know?
Say. / asked you that half an hour ago.
Is the old man in?-who is it talking
Well, I'll be jiggered. Now, take off your
earmuds. Mabel. an do a little listenin

you've got it now. have you, birdie? So
kind of you-yes yes. I'll forgive you this
once Now. agitate your Cinderellas into
the old mans Office an see il he's there.
Yes tell him the Rev. Mister Blank is at
the phone an wants to know il he's out.
Don't be idlin' round when there's souls
to save. Get q hustle on you"
At this point the pastor got so fdsety
that he walked over TO the phone.
Just hold on a minute. my boy he
beseechingly cried.
But the boy waved him aside
I'm getting him" he said.
Then he turned back to the phone.
Who's this?" ne cried. Who? Mr.
Bunner? | don't want yOu-yes. this is
the Rev Mr.. Blank. Blank. Blank
Who's swearing? Don't get fresh, Bunny.
Yes. Rev. Mr.. Blank. Yes, reverend

There. don't get gay. What's that? Won't
be back for three months? You amt
kiddin'? Well. that's all. Yes. it's quite
enough. Funny Bunny. Byby."
And the boy slammed the receiver into
its hooks.
Then he turned to the perspiring cicr
gyman and deferentially remarked:
Mr.. Dash has Just stepped out. sir. an
won't be back for three months"

Fresh from the press at Camp Columbia,

$ll6 to 5000 per month, and only well bal

The editor states that his remarks about
the officers will be continued.
Apropos of the drink question the Clip
pings reporter has this to say:
They have a concoction here they call
cognac pronounced koh-nee-achl, made by
mixing equal parts OF wood alcohol. ker-
osene and rain water. Recipe for taking:
Make your will, take three fingers OF ahoyc
mixture after shaking. and don't kick when
the colonel gives you twenty days You
get so bad that you will take money out
of your khaki pants and switch it to your
blue ones and all the time you think you
are robbing somebody"
From the news columns OF the Clip
pings 1t appears that the command is IN
excellent health. and that the surgeon
says this is due largely to the fact thai
the boys are lighting shy o. eognac and
bad wine and to their keeping their fees
warm and their heads cool.

Gulch, so named because two or three lease
hands have lost their lives there by aeef-
dent, the wells are crowded in thick. There
are eight of them on a piece OF land 120
by 400 feet. The wells are located in
the back yards of eighty -fye-foot lots
The gulch is a deep gully that runs from
the upper end OF the college campus back
to the top of the mountain. The derricks
are built right down in the gully, with
the tanks below. and there is scarcely room
to turn around between them. There is
either a derrick built or one under way on
every lot in the entire hall mile OF the
gully. II tank of oil at the head of the
gulch should happen to catch fire, wave
of flame would roll down the steep ravine
and the houses on both sides. between

Mr.. sierriam is not unknown in political
circles throughout the country. In 1888
he was elected Governor of his State. In
1890 he was reelected TO that position,
therefore serving four years as executive
OF the North Star State.
Mr.. Merriam was born in the State OF
Minnesota. His father. John Merriam, was
one Of the pioneers of the great Northwest
In the middle forties he settled in st. Paul.
and, 10 use a modern phrase, grew up with
the country. He was a gentleman OF fine
ability and soon became one Of the leading
business men Of that progressive section.
in the evolution OF time he became one OF
81. PauIs most influential bankers, as we'll
as its greatest inancier. He accumulated
great wealth and at one time was rated
as one of the very rich men OF the golden
Northwest
Mr.. Merriam, the appointee of President
Mckinley, began his political life as a
member of the State Legislature. At the
time OF his election he was vice president
of the bank of which his father was presi-
dent Upon his election TO the legislature
he was, at the assembling OF that body,
elected its Speaker. He served with dis
tinction in that office and made for himself
aud his party a most excellent reputation.
The son. being naturally ambitious for po-
litical preferment. announced himself IN
1885 as a candidate for the goyernorshlp.
He had as his antagonist for the nomina-
tion some of the best known and most able
politicians of his State.
His most formidable opponent was Al
bert Schaeffer, the president of one OF ST.
Pauls well-known and reputable banking
institutions. Another was Charles Gilmer.
known in those days as the farmer 5
friend. Air. Merriam was nominated for
the office OF governor on the second bal
lot by an almost unanimous vote OF the
convention. Those who are familiar with
The history OF that political gathering will
remember that fgnatius Donnelly, the
Sage OF Nininiger." was the first to take
the platform and declare himself for the
nomination Of Mr.. Merriam. This set the
pace, and It was not long until every
county in the State followed, and Mr.. Mer-
riam was made the unanimous choice OF
the convention.
After Mr.. Merriam had served two terms
as governor he retired 10 his banking
business. where he remained as chief ad-
visor OF the institution and a member oi
its directorate. He still holds the same
interest in the banking house, although q
few months ago he became practically {
resident of the city OF Washington.
Mr.. Merriam and President Mckinley
have been friends for a number of years
