By GElK TURNER


Hence 1t came about that his name
was entirely ignored in the campaign
for the nomination, and as 1t was new
er once brought before the people to
any extent the people naturally did not
consider 1t in spite of the many insn-
uations of his personal friends that he
could be persuaded to run. 1t is not u
time when the people arise unassisted,
and whatever popular uprising there
was favored Uolcomb. He was sue
cessful business man, an employer of
many people, and on the whole kind
one. and he had tie powerful reputa-
ton of q 'bottomless barrel with the
politicians.
The campaign for the nomination
went on with q rush. The northern
end of the state soon swung into line
for our man, and the metropolitan
press there was full of such phrases as
a captain of industry" "a man of en-
ergy and decided character" and "a
power in financial circles" There were
progressive enthusiasm and pride in
our own section.
Very few of us now noticed the tall,
gaunt figure that did not rejoice at our
feast. For few days after he realized
that his case was hopeless Governor
Culberson remained at his home, partly
because he was physically Frustrated
by the blow and partly because he
thought the eyes of every one in the
streets would be on him in pity and
scorn. AS mntter of fact, people did

horse show is told by Sewell Ford in
Horses Nine:" 1t was a very pretty
sight presented to the horse experts
lining the rail and to persons in boxes
and tier seats. They saw blockily
built strawberry roam, his chiseled
neck arched in n perfect crest, his rigid
thigh muscles ripping under n shiny
coat as he swung his hooks, his slim
fore legs sweeping up and out, and ev-
cry curve of his rounded body from
the tip of his absurd whisk broom tail
to the white snip on the end of his
tossing nose expressing that eXuberance
of spirits, that iaunty abandon of mo-
ton, which is the very apex of hack
ney style. Behind him a short legged
groom bounced through the air at the
end of the reins, keeping his feet only
by means of most amazing strides.

A writer in the Garden has discov-
cred that many of the worst foes of
the horticulturist begin with ''w,' and
he instances worms, weevils, wind and
other workers of wickedness. This,
writes correspondent, suggests
question as to whether there is any
natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take 3D." for
example, and consider how many
boons and blessings to man begin with
1t. The baker and butcher bring him
bread and beef For additional foods
he has bacon, beans, bovril, bloaters,
broccoli, broth, bivalves, bananas, ber-
mes, biscuits, buns and butter. After
banquet of BONES bouches he may
bring out his brier and blow his baccy
while he bestrides his bicycle. These
are but a few of the beneficent things
included under that blessed letter 3D."
Now, as contrast, take 3D." and
among the first words we think of are
damp, dark, drcary, dismal, dirty, de-
pressed, despuiring and so on, the very
sound of which is enough to drive one
into doleful dumps.

Recently the British government pub

like swamp dwellers of New Guinea.
This strange race of human beings has
dwelt in the swamps from times which
antedate the oldest native traditions,
and 1t is evidently on the highroad to
becoming distinct variety of animal.
The swamp jewellers have lost three
inches In stature and, while retaining
muscular arms and robust trunk,
have short and slender legs. Walking
always In water or on moist ground,
they have feet with long, fragile look
Ing toes, which they place on the
ground "like wooden feet" Walking on
hard ground makes their feet bleed.
and, unlike the ordinary natives,
whose skin is everywhere tight and
smooth, the outline Of their loins is OBJ
scured by folds of skin. More apel,le
