Benj min Harrison's Lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D. c., in the early sos,
he always brought his luncheon> to the
committee room. He carried it in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got it out as usual from his pocket
he looked it all over ruefully, for it
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near tsy. that
he guessed he must have sat on it &C.
cidentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: well,
by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on it,
I'll bet you sixpence it is frozen
so1fd," and Of course a shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and joined in the
laugh.

4 Il Near the Ctoss.
\ The most expensive work Of ma
tional campaign is done during the last
three weeks before the election. Every
doubtful state and city is closely
watched by men prompt to discover
every change in the political tide, and
money is transmitted in large sums 10
the localities in which it Is believed 1t
will produce the best results. A Few
days before the election in 1883 west
Virginia received $4,000 from the
democratic national committee and the
Republicans sent $4,000 to the same
state. About the same time the Demo
Gratis sent 100000 into Indiana; anc
three nights before the election Chair
man Quay of the Republican national
committee sent 100000 from New
York to trusted lieutenants in Fort
Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the
election In 1896 the Republicans be-
came doubtful about Iowa, says WORLDS
Work. Chairman Hanna at once re-
solved upon a personal canvas OF every
doubtful voter in the state. He pro-
posed that every voter not classed on
the polling lists either as a downright
Democrat or a downright Republican
should be visited by some jealous and
tactful member of the Republican par
ty. Before election day the thousands
Of such men in towns, in cities and IN
the country were sought out and ap'
pealed to by the Republicans most
likely to win them; and this canvass
is said to have cost the Republican
national committee more than $2OO,00O
Reckoning all the expenses in all the
states, it may be roughly estimated
that presidential campaign, including
also congressional, gubernatorial and
lesser campaigns, causes the total ex'
penditure of perhaps $2O,00O,O0O.

Incidents Concerning beginning OF
Limo Of Boats
The Collins line Of American steam
ers was established in 1847. Two years
later, on April ~, 1S49, its first ves-
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn in
1857, soon after the government had
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history of its steamers
briefly told, is as follows: On Septem-
Der q, 1854, the Arctic came into col
lision with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only a few Of her pas
sengers being saved; on January %,
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 24O persons on board, including
the wife of Mr.. Collins, and was never
heard Of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, ". Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
panyr and was afterWard used as
coal hulk in England; the Baltic was
in the government service during the
civil war as a supply vessel, and was
afterWard sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as old
Iron, she was converted into a sailing
ship and used as a grain carrying YES
