after election he succeeded in making
Leedy believe he was responsible for
the several hundred gain IN Reno
county and his daughter was given
some sort of place at the agricultural
college, and his boy was made
engineer at the reformatOry. But the
boy was not a success, Then he tried
and succeeded in making Leedy believe
that his boy was entitled to place at
the argicultured college. But there
was a stubborn man on the board
of regents by the name Of Hoffman
who had several other stubborn men
with him, and refused to be con-
verified to Mr.. Highs belief, be-
cause of certain facts concerning his
fitness shown by reformatory officials,
Then Mr.. High concluded that the
place for which his boy was particu-
larry fitted by the Almighty was
the naval school at Annapolis, but the
examiners though otherwise and If the
Almighty had intended him for that
place he had made a mistake in one Of
his eyes on account Of which he failed
to pass the physical examination.
But the defeat'was not so great but
that an over kind congressman by the
name Of Simpson got it overcome by q
special order. Then the poor boy
failed to pass the examination, but in
the meantime time the wonderful en-
ergies Of his father we're not to be pent

awful Cleveland had removed him.

those discharged by Cleveland under

High and he was about to resume the
pressure of the old custom when Ches-

the president that High had become
Bryan supporter and again he was held
up dangling just enough above the
seat to discern the softness thereof
and be miserable-until he finally
abandoned hope came home and set out
to capture the pop county convention
and dictate its platform. He succeeded
In the platform but the convention
got unruly and spoiled the rest or his
plans. All through his stay in Wash
ington he had been assisted by Mr..
Simpson with great kindness but alasl
Mr.. Simpson could not get him job
and Mr. Leedy could not give his boy
one he could keep and he came to be-
