Then the game began in earnest. Ba-

grow larger and the deposits smaller.
There were little overdraIIs every day

Seeley realized that he was indeed In
a big hole" and that 1t was gettinX
steadily bigger. So 1t went on from
week to week and month to month
and year to year. The checks grex
larger and more frequent, the ove.-
draft bigger and bigger, and Bakers
promises smoother and more maxnin-
cent. And Seeley still believed him.
He never threatened Seeley with
states prison. He was never brutally
dictatorial, as he might have been.
He was always regretful and hopeful.
but every day his checks came In AA

while Baker was living like a prince
and spending thousands OF dollars an
nually. He had an expensive family.
maintained a handsome town houss
and beautiful country home and was
able when he chose to take his family
to Europe for vacation.
During all this time the man who
was providing thousands for Bakers
speculations was pounding along on
$35 week, trying to meet his insur-
on his little house in Halsey street.

hours he went home clinging to .

the man whose tool he was could ride
in carriage.
But Seeley did not go entirely with

lines it was 81 to go to a baseball

times it was hundred dollars to meet
a debt, but these loans" of 81 or IS
or 500 never inconvenienced Baker,
because he had only to put out checks
for IS, $40 or $1,000, and Seeley had to
see them through.
All told Baker got about $35 900 Z
year from Seeley. Seeley got about
81 900 year out of Baker, and he paid
for it with an amount of misery and
suffering which few men endured. The
thefts began 1885, and for 10 years
Seeley was in never ccasing dread OF
exposure. He trembled when another
bOokkeeper looked at his ledger, and
quaked whenever an officer of the
bank passed him. The visits of the
bank examiners were seasons OF ter
ror for him, and he lay awake at night
brooding over the discovery which he
knew must eventually take place. He
was sometime sick, but he could never
stay at home. In all those years, from
1885 to 1895, he never took a weeks
holiday or day off, because he feared
that another bookkeeper would lis
cover the cheat.
All this time Baker continued to
make his gilded promises which he
knew he could never fulfill. At last
the system of bookkeeping was
changed, and the long dreaded expos

to announce that Hon. N. N. Nc
Lean has consented to make the
race for IA denomination. Mr.. Nc
Lean was the nominee Of the Re
publican convention two years
ago, and was one OF the six Re-
publicans who were elected to the
houses bin that year. In spite of the
handicap placed upon him by be-
ing member OF such a small mi
nority, Mr.. Mclean succeeded il
DONG much valuable work Tor hia
constituents, and made a record
for honesty and integrity in mark,
ed contrast to the large majority
of that body. In that mix up of
fusion, dishonor and treachery
known as the Twelfth General
Assembly. he was one of the few
members who proved true to his
pledges to the people and show
ed any regard for their wishes.
We believe he will be renominat-
ed and in that case he Is sure to
be re elected. The conditions
will change this winter. and the
small minority will be a majority
With this advantage added to his
past experience In that body,
there is no one in the district bet

IF there was no Presidential
campaign now we would probab-
Iy witness a unificatIon OF views
over the action of the President
Of the United States in upholding
the honor OF the American flag
and the dignity Of the American
nation in China that was witness
ed when we went to war with
Spain two years ago. 1t is simply
because one party desires to play
politics that it derides the party
in power for doing what every
right thinking man knows should
be done and what only the most
partisan persons dare to crlticise.
\ pretty good plan to follow is:
In foreign affairs there should be
flnlty; parlisansllp should be lett
10 domestic policies. The party
that opposes any action taken by
an administration to uphold the
dignity OF Americans abroad and
TO make the flag respected wher-
ever it floats will not be success

pOlinv has been so far above re-
pfoach that any hint OF criticism
will be sure to disgust patriotic
citizens OF the United States.

expec5ya'ions Ct the American peo-
pie four years ago III regard to the
duties OF the present admlnistra
tlon, many important eYents have
come to pass that We're entirely
unantlcipated. Though the fast

verglng upon many new and diff
cult problems Qf state. 1t was,
unconsciously, at the threshold OF
a period Of warlike conditions, and
since 1t swung open without warn
ing the blood of our soldiers has
been shed in Cuba, Porto Rico,
the Philippines and China. No
body talked OF coming wars in the
campaign OF 1896. The name of
the Philippines was unmentioned.
The idea that an American army
would be today in Pekin and Tlen
Tsin would have been considered
a wild flight OF fancy. just the
same a war with Spain has been
fought to a successful issue; a
large and. troublesome lnsurrec-
ton has been practically subdued
in the Philippines; and in China
our troops having accomplished
their main mission, are waiting
until the government of the en-
pire can be located and dealt
with.
Destiny has been at work with
the United States since the in
auguration of President Mckinley
and with rapid sweep that ad-
mitted of no hesltating action.
War is a test OF instant energy
and immediate resources. Ques-
tions Of national and information
al weight had to be settled by A
merican courage and arms at San
tiago, along the rivers and in the
swamps OF far-otf Luzon, and in
front of the walled cities of China.
But wherever the storm clouds
centered American regiments
have been there ON time. There
has been no laggard, hating or
insufficient handling of a crisis,
no matter how sudden. There
has been no failure. On the con
trary, success has been uniformly
prompt and positive. Americans
insisted on a speedy advance IN
China and kept on the foremost
fireing line. Wherever hoshlitIes
have been carried on supplies and
equipments have served the pur-
pose. Re endorsements have gone
forward as required. Compared
with former wars Ill any country
the management has been splen
ululN elleCIlNe.
All that was promised IN the
Republican platform OF 1886 has
been fulfilled. The platform did
not promise to strike down with
arms the oppression OF Spain IN
this continent, to expand the lin
its of the nation by just treaty
and to send an army to China to
rescue our citizens in extreme
peril But there was Il pledge of
sound, competent government in
every contingency. 1t has been
most amply redeemed. Prosper
ity came as had been offered. A
protective tariff and gold standard

tempt Chicago had made in this direc-

success. The results were marred by
contentious between directors and

Then it was that the Spanish war

should be regarded as part Of the

only after many delays hat he was

kind acts which made him so popular

but two years, however, leaving his

THE MOST COSTLY CRADLE.

The Marlborough Children Are Rocked
In the drawing room at Blenheim is
exhibited the wonderful golden cradle
in which each first-born son of the
house of Marlborough is rocked during
his infancy. In this cradle, which is
perhaps the most beautiful and costly
thing of it's kind in the world the pres
ent little Marquis of Blandford was
placed on his christening day, when he
had been given the name of John AL
bert Edward William Churchill. The
little heir, by the way, is named for
three well-known persons. John, for
the great duke; Albert Edward for the
prince of Wales, one of his godfathers,
and William for his grandfather and
godfather, William K. Vanderbilt. The
two children are very closely guarded
in the nursery, which consists of the
most charming suite of rooms in the
palace. Here the young duchess, who
is a most proud and devoted mother.
spends most of her time, with her ba-
bies. When they go out in their blue
and white perambulators for exercise
they are wheeled about in what Is
known as the Kitchen gardens"
among the fruits and vegetables, for
on show days the kitchen gardens are
not delivered over to tourists for in
spection. Thus the two little lords may
hold high carnival without fear of pub
lie intrusion and snapshooters. On
other days they are wheeled about
where their nurses will, within the $50
acres of private grounds, which are
walled off from Blenheim Park.-Ains-
