The young fiance of Miss Mabel Han
ma is only another notable illustration
of the success that can be obtained by
a penniless American boy who has "a
determined chin. and Is stout of heart.
1t takes grit to approach Senator Han
ma with the question: May be your
son-in-law?
About two years ago he graduated
from the New York School of Art and
returned to his native city, where he
obtained a position on an afternoon
newspaper as an artist and cartoonist.
He entered upon his duties in the early
fall of 1900. just as the memorable
presidential campaign was warming
up. Young Parsons, through his asso-
ciates on the paper. caught the feverish
political spirit, and when Senator
Hanna determined that his home city
should make a good showing in the
campaign for Mckinley. called for vol
unteers to organize the city into big
marching clubs. Parsons voluteered to-
get together all the young republicans
who were about to cast their first

all the young men as their leader.
The affair was to be complete sur
prise to Senator Hanna. And 50 it was.
Silently the 800 marchers entered the
spacious grounds of the senator in the
evening and lined up in front of the
vast house. There was a volley of fire
works and a glare of red lights as the
senator and his family stepped to the
door to see what was happening and to
be met by the young leader of the
lusty organization, Harry A. Parsons.
Standing in the glare of the red light.
in view of every one. his face aglow
with enthusiasm, Commander Parsons,
in a clear, simple, almost eloquent
speech presented to Senator Hanna the
services of the entire 800 volunteers,
declaring that every one was an or
ganizer in himself and stood ready to
carry the city for Mckinley II the duty
devolved upon them. Senator Hanna
was visibly touched by the speech of
the boy leader and the presence of the
marchers. Turning to young Parsons.
he grasped his hand warmly, and the
young men gave three rousing cheers
for the senator. When quiet was re-
stored. Senator Hanna thanked the
boys for their delightful surprise and
declared that as long as the republican
party had such live recruits as these
the fight was swift and sure.

tenderness that would hardly be be-
lieved by those who know but the
rough exterior of Senator Hanna. Her
health has been his greatest concern
for years, and society in Cleveland says
that both Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna agreed
several years ago that Mabel should
never marry and that they would al
ways keep her with them.
Young Parsons victory can therefore
be more keenly appreciated when it is
realized that he has broken down the
strong barrier constructed by a man
who has ruled the great republican
party for years and whose iron will is
recognized as law by all who come in
contact with him. In spring time,
when the flowers and birds come back
to the spacious grounds surrounding
Senator Hanna's Cleveland home there
will be a quiet wedding, and Mark
Hanna will give away his little Mabel

votes. The enthusiastic cartoonist had
no motive in this service at the time,
for he had never met Miss Hanna, and
never dreamed that he ever would.
With an energy really remarkable he
issued an address to the young repub-
licans requesting them to organize for
the campaign. In two weeks he had
1,500 young men on the rolls of the
First Voters Republican club and with
a speech that carried the young men
off their feet he was elected president
At that meeting it was agreed that the
young men should visit the home of
Senator Hanna and offer him their
best services. Two weeks later the
1,500 young men, clad in long overcoats,
silk hats and gloves and rosettes, and
carrying canes in military fashion,
marched through the streets of the city
with the precision of soldiers.
At their head was young Parsons,
