The ncr Wehsfer

Daniel Webster as lad is thus de- Bcribed by John Bach McMaster, the historian, in the first of his illustrated papers on the statesman, published in Century: ''As the boy grew in years and stature his life was powerfully affected by the fact that he was the youngest son and ninth child in a fam fly of ten; that his health was far from good; that he showed tastes and mental traits that stood out in marked contrast with those of his brothers and sisters; and that he was, from in 6ancy, the pet of the family. Such daily work as farmers lad was made to do was not for him. Yet he was expected to do something, and might have been seen barefooted, in frock and trousers, astride of the horse that dragged the blow between the rows of corn, or raking hay, or binding the wheat the reapers cut. or following the COWS to pasture in the morning and nome again at night, or tending logs in his fathers sawmill. When such uvork was to be done 1t was his GUS tom to take a book along, set the log, ihoixt the gates, and while the saw passed slowly through the tree-trunk, an operation which, in those days. con stunned some 20 minutes. he would settle himself comfortably and read"

Rouqh Rider Buttons.

Chicago Record: The rarest speci-
mems of a campaign button in the city
belong to a batch which was carried from
Chicago by Col. Roosevelt when he
started to round up the cowboys of the
northwest. Less than a score of them
are in the city, and the men who own
them prize them highly. The button is
made of some composition which re-
sembles Roman gold. In the center Of
the button is a well-executed bas-relief
of a miniature bucking broncho with Col.
Roosevelt astride. Above, in tiny letters,
are "The Rough Riders Brigade" Col.
Roosevelt is branding the republican
cowboys with these buttons, and he puts
them on himself. AS but a limited mum.
Der were made, the few in Chicago have
risen to the dignity of rare and valuable
souvenirs, and the lucky owners have as
sumed the naughty air of men who have
been signally favored by Roosevelt.
