As to Presidential Hatcheries.

The excruciating hot, dry weather of June, while not good for growing crops. appears to have been peculiar lv favorable for propagating preslden- tial booms. Brother John Wesley Gaines is incubating a boom for some Southern statesman, Senator Narmack preferred and John Wesley reports that his scheme is taking like wildt1re, which most assuredly is not the way in which the Depew- Grosvenor boom for President Mckinley for third term is taking. MT Mckinley himself with great promptness and wisdom souelch- ed that fire before it started. several senators are nursing booms or boom lets. Touching these Senator Stephen B. Elkins remarks that "the house Is A much better hatchery for presidents than the senate" That remark is en- tirely too sweeping. No senator while In service was ever elected to the presi- dency and only one representative while in service, James A. Garfield, who was also a senator-elect. Every
 body regards the vice presidency as sort of presidential gravkyard. No body ever seems to think of the speak ership of the house in that light,and vet only, one ex=speaker, James K. Polk ever reached the presidency, while Vice Presidents John Adams Thomas Jefferson. Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Willard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur all at tained to that exalted honor, the first three by election and the last four though the death of their, chiefs. So that, on the doctrine of chances, vice president has prospects three times as good of becoming chief magistrate of the republic as a speaker has.

 Besides Garfield, the only men who had served in the house of representa- tives and not in the senate to reach the presidency were Madison, Fillmore

Neither Taylor nor Grant nor Cleveland ever served in either branch of congress.

Judge Porter's Mot.

Judge Porter not only slept a great deal but he was an enormous eater. No man since the days of old Epicurus more thoroughly enjoyed dining. Judge Porter was the author of this mot: A turkey is too much for one man to eat and not enough for two" .That is a most remarkable statement when 1t IS remembered that in his circuit bronze turkey gobblers frequently weigh from 70 to 50 pounds. He would have been a fit table companion for the Emperor Maximian or that more famous Emper- or Charles V, whose favorite diet even when an Invalid in his old age was lampreys and eel pies.

TALES OF CLOAK-ROOM
 TOLD BY CHAMP CLARK
Why Lawyers Succeed in Getting to Congress. House and Senate Not Stepping Stones
 to Presidents Chair.

ecopyright, 1901, by Champ Clark)
 Freauently the fact is referred to Tn the newspapers that large majority of represenIati lives and senators are lawyers That is true and propduiS will continue 10 be true so long as the republic lasts. It grows out or tnese facts:
 First.-The American people are the greatest admirers of oratory on the face of the earth. All lawyers are not orators, nor do all lawyers get to con gress, but their business compeis most lawyers to become at least intellfgiole speakers No other class of our clu- zens is so much given to public speak ing as lawyers save preachers, and very few of the latter aspire to public sta tion; hence the lawyers have the call, or. in race horse pariance, the pole, when 1t comes to running for con- gress."E
 Second.-A large acquaintance among the people of a congressional district is usually sine qua non to nomina- tion or an election. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but never theless that is the rule. A lawyer in active practice has a fine opportunity to know and be known by the voters. Especially was that true when riding the circuit@ was fashionable, for, strange to say. the railroads, instead of increasing the habit of practicing over the circuit, have diminished 1t. Where fore? Let philosophers answer.
 Third-People have an idea that a man who has spent large portion of his life studying, practicing and ex- pounding the law ought to know how to make law. This may of may not be true.
 As the house Is made up largely of lawyers, 1t goes without saying that courts, judges, lawyers juries. clients, witnesses ct i'd genus omne are most frequently the themes at the cloakroom Seances,

4nIs NISl1A Ao ol1C of the youngest and one of the most representative re- tail business men in this progressive city of progressive business men. He has had large ex- perience in his busi-
 ness and has de- voted many years of his life to the re- tail trade. Born in Montgomery Feb. 12. 1871. MT. Kohn
 is in the 31st year of his age. He has
 lived in Montgom-
 erey all of his life
 and is loyal to every interest of the Capital City. MT. Kohn was edu- cated in the public
 and private schools of Montgomery and Montgomery and began his business career as a cash boy for Pollak & Co.,, in the summer of 1885. In the fall of that year he was offered and accept
 ed a position as collector for Lilien- thai & Gassenhei-
 mer. He was pro-
 noted to be clerk
 and bookkeeper and
 remained with tt
 firm fifteen years.
 He built up a large
 trade and made
 many friends while
 with Lilienthal &
 Gassenheimer and 1t was but natural that he should have
 cast about for as-
 sociates to organize
 a business of his
 own.

congress counts
 The foregoing facts not only prove that Senator Elkins' remark is not lit erally correct, but may also serve as data on which those senators and rep resentatives who are nursing presiden- tial booms and hoomlets may figure out their chances. Hope springs eternal in the human breast
 1t may he seriously doubted whether the easy road to the presidency lies through service in either branch of congress or in both branches. The congressional services of Washington, Monroe. Jackson. Van Buren, Harrison pere. Pierce and Hayes had precious little to do with their reaching the White House. All the great leaders in the two houses of congress have har- bored the presidential bee, and most of them have descended to their graves full O. chagrin and bitter thoughts. Of course, the ambitions of Clay, Web ster and Calhoun are always harped upon. but there are others-Corwin, Cass, Douglas. Seward, Blaine, Conk- ling and host of other choice spirits. What the explana ton of this may be it is not possible to state. Perhaps the fact that veteran senators and rspre- sentatives have too much record is the chief stumbling block in their pathway. Then they-most of them at least-ac- cumulate an army of enemies who dig pits for their feet, stab them in the back, smite them under the fifth rib and otherwise despitefully use them. Senator Elkins says that some repre- sentative may deliver a great speech in congress which will make him presi- dent. No such thing ever happened in
 :t txxriaa nfIf of congress-in conventions both times at Chicago, when Garfield and Bryan by their oratory walked away with the prize. History may repeat itself in 1904. Quien sabe?
 Of course the glamour of a military reputation is a valuable asset in d con test for the presidency. Washington s service in the army made him presi- dent. New Orleans gave it to Jackson. Tippecanoe elevated the elder Harri- son to the White House and Buena Vista did the work for Taylor, "Old Rough and Reary," as the people af- fectionately named him. Grants whole stock in trade was his martial renown. Monroe, Tyler, Pierce, Lincoln. Hayes, the younger Harrison and Mckinley were all helped by their military serv- ice. Even the title of general aided Arthur in hlS political aspirations, though he was only a general on the governors staff.
 The governorship of great State. especially of a pivotal State, is van tage ground from which to fight for the | presidency. Two classes of eminent citizens seem to be barred by almost common consent, judges of the su- preme court of the United States and naval heroes. Just why all parties should run after military heroes to beg them to accept presidential nomina- tions and none run after the great | naval favorites is a thing which no fel- low can find out. AS to the judges of the Supreme Court, people do not want the decisions of that great tribunal cooked up as political platforms.

good story teller. Lately while lectur- ing in Louisiana I ran across one of these modern knights of the road at a restaurant in New Orleans. He asked me if I had ever heard much of Gen eral Wash Jones of Texas and then proceeded as follows: Wash was d great character in his own way, pos sessed of considerable capacity and many oddities. The latter he cultivat- ed for effect. When Ireland was run ming as the regular Democratic nomi- nee for governor. Wash tackled him as an independent candidate. As a story teller on the stump Ireland was a sue cess. at which game no living man could beat Wash Jones. They held joint discussions all over the State. Ireland began to tell anecdotes at Wash's expense, which the latter re- turned in such profusion that Ireland grew weary of it and proposed to Wash that they should both quit telling anec- dotes. Wash agreed. The next time they discussed the political issues it was Wash's time to lead off, and he began by stating the history of this war of anecdotes and the agreement between himself and Ireland. He then added:
 Fellow citizens, I fully intend here after to live up to that agreement, but I reserve to myself the right to tell one-just one-here today. Once upon a time there was a great buck with spreading antlers which was monarch of all he surveyed in a large pasture. He chased everybody that went through his domain. making it decided ly lively for all intruders into this baiIi- wick One hot day man who was in a great hurry was very desirous of go- ing cataWampus through the buck $ province in order to save time; but, knowing the vicious nature of the brute, he carefully and cautiously rec onnoitered before venturing in. He saw the buck lying down on the edge of the pasture about half mile dis tant and concluded that he might pass through, thereby making a short cut, without attracting the attention of his buckship, but he was sadly mistaken, for when he was about halt through the pasture the buck came at him red eyed, and he ran for a big oak, intend to take refuge in it's spreading branches. The buck, however, was too quick for him and was upon him be- fore he could climb the tree. The buck chased him round and round the tree. It was a great race, but the man could turn quicker than the buck. The Bible says the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Finally the man gained a lap on the buck. and instead of being ahead of the enraged animal came up behind him and suddenly grabbed him by the tail. At this unexpected denou- ment the buck lit out across the pas ture as though Old Nick were after him and never stopped to poster the traveller any more. Now, fellow citi- gems, I submit to you this question: In this anecdote- telling which of us two, Ireland or myself. played the buck and which the innocent traveller?
