There was a shrill shrieking whistle.
to put up his share Of the stakes, and
a month in which to prepare for the
race.
After that Hezekiah went into tenn
porary retirement. He spent nearly all
his time in the old shed. and he al
lowed no n else to enter it. When
he was there is was kept locked, and
observations made through the cracks
were not very satisfactory.
1t was nearly a month later hat the
town was thrown into a state of wild

course he chose the night time for his
experiment, but one of the neighbors
had seen him and had reported that
the old thing could not cover a mile in
thirty minutes. 1t wheezed and
whistled and groaned as it labored
along, and even then had finally
broken down and been pulled back to
the shed by a horse. Naturally there
was great sport at the postoffice that
evening, when all gathered as usual to
wait for the distribution of the 6
O'Clock mail. Everybody had some joke
to spring at the expense Of Hezekiah's
"hossless kerridge."
The new invention was tried several
times at night before the day of the
final test, and all sorts of rumors were
afloat as to the results. Those who
were fortunate enough to see 1t in &C
ton all united in saying that two or
three miles an hour was the limit of
its speed. but Hezekiah never lost CON
fdence in it. Indeed. he seemed to be
so absolutely certain of success that
the men who had contributed to the
$500 fund could not help feeling nerv-
Gus. Their reason told them that they
could not possibly lose unless the blind
mare broke a leg or died on the course,
but Hezekiah's calm and sanguine ONE
and bearing whenever the subject was
under discussion had the effect of max
ing them inwardly restless and doubt
full.
The day of the race the entire popu-
lation of the town turned out, and sur

A PRESS COMMENT.
A Remarkable Man

''s
Major Frank A. Wolcott was at Lin
coin. Neb., last Monday and heard Mr..
Bryan speak in the evening in that
city. He bears witness to his marvel
u achievements on that day. Mr.
Bryan left Lincoln at ) 80 a. m. and
went out into the state, lie made he
first speech at 7:3O and then went to
Holdrege. following up with eleven
more addresses in different parts of
the state. He returned to Lincoln be-
fore Z o'clock in the evening and made
a speech that was remarkable for its
CHEEKY confidence, eve to a point of
eXhileration that was contagious. He
earnestly urged his friends to vote for
the fusion congressman, as he wanted
good legislation to be submitted TO him
for approval. His voice was rs clear as
a bell, not a discordant note, and as
strong as when he entered the cam
paign. The major admits that the eff.
feet upon him was such as to make him
feel hat the speaker was happily on
his way to the White House.
After his speech the great campaign
orator went to Omaha, wherr he made
three speeches in the city and from
there to South Omaha, where he spoke
to a large and enthusiastic audience,
holding the crowd until long after mid
night. Indeed, it was 1870 befre he
started home. He arrived at Lincoln
in the morning and vas up and around
before 9 o'clock, as fresh as a daisy,
showing neither fatigue. nor annoy
ance, though it is said that at Omaha
he had received intimations from his
political friends that there was doubt
as to the result. This will probably
on the day of election. in which he
thanked his friends for their loyalty
and closed with these strange words:
Il think we shall succeed today. But
if we fail, be it so, we shall nave the
proud consolation of saying to our
conscience and to the departed shade
of our country's freedom that the
course approved by our judgments and
adorned by our hearts, in disaster, in
change, in torture, in death, We never
faltered in defending"
The address was received with
cheers, but it's effect could not have
been otherwise than discouraging, as
it must have sounded quite different
from his tone and utterances of only
the previous evening.-Leader.
