campaign helping in the hurrah for
Mckinley at the head of band Of
forty pieces.
One night there was huge political
meeting which was attended by all
the big Republican guns. Mr.. Dawes
was there among them. The band be-
gan playing. A longing came over
the comptroller of the currency to fin
ger the holes OF piccolo once more,
so he went to his old friend and ask
ed permission to play just one selec-
tion with the band. 1t was granted,
Chairman Hanna and Secretary Heath
of the Republican national committee

colo to fiat. Mr.. Dawes declares that
the bandinaster said he played admir-
ably, but Mr.. Hanna tells different

Outlook is Good.

A Leader reporter interviewed a
number of prominent business firms

SHIRT WAIST STATESMEN.

The Texas Legislature has officially
declared in favor of the shirt-waist.
The resolution was introduced in the
House, setting forth that, "inasmuch
as this session of the Legislature is
being held during the hottest month
of the year, its members be allowed
to participate in the proceedings of
the House in their shirt sleeves, or if
they can procure any of the popular
shirtwaists they be recognized as in
business attire upon arriving at the
House."
The resolution was adopted by a
vote of 81 to 43, thus aligning the
members of the Texas Legislature on
the side of the shirtwaist.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

"Give me the boy from the country.
He is the best RAW MATERIAL for
the making Of a business man to be
found anywhere. You can't keep him
down if he's halfway representative
of his class"
This is what the manager of big
Chicago mercantile house said to me
the other day. Stick pin through
this saying, for it means something.
The man who said it is close
mouthed, long-headed and phenome-
nally successful. He handles trade
that runs high into the millions every
year; his employees number about
1000, and when he talks he has some
thing to say.
There is good hard sense in this
comment on the country boy. EX-
PERIENCE proves it-has steadily
been proving it ever since the big
cities began to swallow up the most
energetic, ambitious and progressive
boys bred in the country.
Whatever common experience
teaches has behind it common rea
son hard to get at. So in this case.
1t doesn't simply happen that coun-
try boys pan out better than city rear
ed boys. There is a reason for it
several of them in fact.
One of them is that the country,
with it's wholesome, natural surround
ing, grows firmer, SOLDIER, MEN
tai MEAT than the SPICED DIET
OF THE CITY. Association with
the fields, the woods, the streams
build a SOUNDER MENTAL TISSUE
than can be had from the artificial
environments of the city.
Fill the eye with a flaming bill
| board, then turn to serene and rest
ing landscape and note the differences
in the two mental impressions. Then
think what is meant when the pic
lures are thrown daily upon the high
ly sensitized plate of boys nature in
its most impressionable and formative
stage.
One makes for an attitude OF
EARNESTNESS, of REFLECTION
of simplicity, of DIRECTNESS, OF
poise, of familiarity with the forces ol
nature, and implies a habit of repose
The other is instint with restlessness
excitement, with passing show oI
THINGS GLITTERING and SOR
DID, with an unceasing parade of the
ARTIFICIAI-full of it's FALSE
VALUES its complicated standards
and its unresting surface of Shallow
ness and Frivolity.
The wholesome life of the country
is the BREAD OF EXISTENCE; tha
of the city is CAKE. The former Is {
pabulum which builds bone and sin
ew; the latter EXCITES rather thar
NOURISHES. One is the natura
nourishment of the young mind; tn,
other has its place as a dessert for tn,
mature mental digestion.
Look to literature for an illustra
tion: Edgar Allen Poe. with his NOR
bid artificiality,was a typical city pro

duct; William Dean Howells, with his
marvellous sympathy, his deep insight
into the human heart and his rich but
sane imagination, is as true result
of couhtry influences.
The true COUNTRY BOY is not
afraid of work; he has no silken,
DANDIFIED NOTIONS of the dis
tinctions between the various kinds of
labor and their relation to his dignity;
his eyes are NOT FIXED ON THE
CLOCK and his whole interest in life
on the strike of the quitting bell. He
lives little during working hours
and his whole existence is not center
ed in the prospective excitements of
the evening. He has serious inter-
est in his occupation, for seriousness
has been bred into him with every
breath of country air, with every look
at the country landscape.
These are some of the reasons why
the captains of metropolitan industry
are looking to the country for the
best of their raw material, and by the
same token you may determine why a
great majority of the men who are at
the FRONT of BIG AFFAIRS came
from farms and villages.
THE COUNTRY is THE BEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD TO BE
BORN IN Be glad if it holds the
record of your nativity. 1t will help
you for the highest honors in the
STRENUOUS BATTLE OF AFFAIRS
in the big city.-Forrest Crissey, au-
thor of Country Boy Sketches"

MUSICIAN DAWES.

When Comptroller Charles G.
Dawes was in College, he used to play
q piccolo in the band connected with
the institution. He has given up the
instrument now, but he admits he still
takes a lively interest in the manipu-
lations of the picollo player every
time band passes the treasury build
ing. During the recent presidential
campaign the old band leader who had
given Mr.. Dawes his first instruction
on the shrill toned instrument came
into tie Republican national head
quarters and secured an audience with
Mr.. Dawes. The bandman was still
making music for living, but just at
the time of his call on Mr. Dawes he
was in serious financial straits. He
rocited his troubles to the man who
keeps an eye on all the national banks
in the country and before he left the
headquarters Mr.. Dawes had arranged
matters SO that his old friend would
have steady employment during the

INCREASE OF CRIME.

1t is a matter of much regret to
know that official figures show crime
to be on the increase in Ohio; and
this will be good opportunity for a
sermon on the subject: "Is the world
growing better or worse?"
Statistics compiled at the office of the
secretary of state show that the total
number of prisoners confined in Ohio
jails during the year ending June 30,
1901, was 1877 as compared with
1853 for the year ending June 80,
1900. The total cost for maintenance
for 1901 was s129,197.35 and for 1900
$116,57992.
Of the prisoners confined in, Jail
during the year just closed 84SS were
born in Ohio and 1885 were native
born. OF the 1912 foreign jail birds
474 were Irishmen, 379 Germans, 19l
English or Welsh, 103 British Amer
leans or Canadians,95 italians and "a
Frenchmen. The white numbered 12,-
267 and the colored 1910. There were
1921 male prisoners and 1896 female.
The wholly illiterate numbered 119,
and 12,62S were able to read or write
Of the total number of prisoners 1910
were colored. Those under age num-
bered zoos and three died during i'm
prisonment.

General Catchings, of Mississippi,
who recently closed his eighth term in
the House, in an interview says: MY
Congressional career took a big slice
out of my life. | went into the House
at 3S and now that | am 54 | shall
try to practice law and make some
money" This is more good evidence
that public official stands a very
poor show of accumulating the much
desired competency for a rainy day.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS DISCOVER
MUCH SMUGGLING.
MORE DUTIES COLLECTED
Experience at New York May
Cause Method to Be Great
ly Extended.

Washington, March 2O-Collector of
Customs Bidwell of New York was in
the city today conferring with Assis-
tant Secretary Of the Treasury Spauld-
ing regarding the r~eorganized condl-
tions at the New York customs house.
He brought figures to show the duties
collected from passengers Oh four
steamers arriving last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday we're $22, 600 greater
than from passengers aboard steamers
of the same lines on corresponding
days last year. i.
The extent of smuggling disclosed
by the new system in New York has
almost d~umbfounded the treasury Off
cials and steps are being taken to ap-
ply the new system as far as practical
BILE to other ports Of entry. Investiga-
tions resulting from these disclosures
have revealed the fact that a large
number of transatlantic passengers,
supposedly women Of wealth and
fashion, were in fact milliners and
dressmakers regularly smuggling
goods from Paris and other European
capitals.
It is asserted that the disclosures are
likely to result in the near future IN
some radical changes at Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and other large
cities whence trans Atlantic liners sail.

C0RMAN'S PLAN WINS
Both Houses of Maryland Legis-
lature Pass Disfran-
chising Bill.

Annapolis, March 2O-The new
election bill, DISTINGUISHING illiterates,
passed the senate at noon. The house
adopted the senate amendments and
the bill was sent to the governor for
approval.
The more important change in ex-
listing methods accomplished by the
enactment Of the new law, lies i'll de-
priving illiterate voters of the assist
ance of ballot clerks i'll preparing their
ballots. Under the previous practice
these clerks accompanied such voters
into the booths and marked their bal
lots for them or showed them how to
do it, The democrats claim that this
practice utterly destroyed the secrecy
of the ballot and made it possible for
corruptionists to learn whether bar
gains made with corrupt voters had
been carried out.
The effect of the law is, of course,
largely a matter Of conjecture and one
upon which the party leaders widely
differ. The democrats expect that II
will ~disfranchise about 80, 900 negroes
and perhaps 16, 900 white voters. Vi
| these it is claimed all the negroes and
about so per cent Of the whites vote
the republican ticket. With these out
of the way it is held, the state will Of
safely democratic for many years &c
come and the immediate result would
be a democratic legislature next fal
and the election Of a democrat to sue
coed Tinted States Senator Wellington
in 1902.

RECEIVES A WINDFALL
Hard Working Switchman Finds
Himself Heir to Vast
Estate.

Holland, Mich, March 20-T. P.

Oklahoma Authorities Round UP Alleged
Partner of Noted Outlaw.

Perry, o. T., March 2O-Sherif
Foster and deputies returned today
having in their custody a wounded
man giving his name as Charles john
son, and three horses. From all indl-
cations the man was Ben Craven's
companion in the Red Rock murder
and who received his wounds in the
fight last Monday night in which AL
win Bateman, bookkeeper for
Schwartz & Co., was killed.
Johnson had a bullet hole in his
wrist, the ball lodging in the upper
arm under the shoulder, and another
wound in the head. He says he was
held up Monday night in the Otoe
reservation and was shot with a load
of buckshot by two men who robbed
him, taking his coat and horse. 1t is
the general opinion here that johnson
is the robber that was dressed in
woman's attire at Red Rock, and re-
ceived his wounds from Bateman.
The Perry militia has been called
out to guard the prisoner, as it is
feared that all attempt will be made
to lynch him, by the enraged citizens
of Red Rock, who may come here
upon learning of the capture.
After the Red Rock murder Sheriff
Foster traced the bandits to the home
of a man named Cunningham, near
Pawnee. and his house was surround
ed. Demand was made for the sur
render Of the men and in reply a vol
ley of shots was fired into the posse.
Deputy Sheriff johnson was mortally
wounded and in the melee the bandits
again escaped in the timber and made
for the reservation.

TO PREVENT TROUBLE
Reason Given for Reinforcing
British Troops at
Tien Tsen.

Tien Tsin, March 2O-The British
reinforcements, consisting Of 80 ma
rines, which arrived at Tien Tsin last
night from the Taku forts to replace
the Indian guards on the disputed
land, are explained as due to a fear
lest any incident arising out OF the
Russo British land question should
cause the French troops, whose con-
duct has given much trouble, to pre-
cipitate a collision. The British COM
manders desire to have enough troops
in Tien Tsin to preserve order in the
streets. In addition Australian out
posts. from the lines of communica'
ton, are coming in to be in readiness
in case of necessity.
The British are under arms to pre-
vent the settlement being rushed, bu1
they do not anticipate such actions.

ONE GOT AWAY,
Negroes Prowess as Fighter Prevents
Double Lynching.

Terry, Miss, March 30 Jerry Bell,
a negro, was lynched tonight by a
mob. Bell was discovered this morn
ing in the room Of a young woman
visiting the family of R. G. Terry.
He escaped to Bryan, Miss, where he
was arrested. After being brought
back to Terry he was arraigned and
bound over to the circuit court. The
officers intended to take him to Jack
son tomorrow for safe keeping, but a
mob collected and hanged him.
Later developments implicate
another negro, Charles Hollingsworth,
whom the mob meant to hang at the
same time and place with Bell, but
he fought his way through a small
army of men and although 80 shots
were fired at him, he escaped in the
darkness.
