DICK AND GOvERN0RSHIP.
what He Says of the Prospective
Contest In Ohio.

"hsbt ne suys OF 'the Prospective
Contest In Ohio.
Akron, o., Jan. 3.-The Beacon Jour-
nal says:
1.-THE expectation of a formal an
nouncement from Gen. Charles Dick in
connection with his attitude toward
the Ohio Republican gubernatorial
nomination has led the Beacon Jour-
nal to procure from him as complete
a statement as can be made at this
time This shows him to stand Just
where he has stood thus far, not hav-
ing put himself into the contest, and
therefore without any occasion for an
nouncing his withdrawal therefrom
"He is not now and has not been
candidate in the sense of seeking the
nomination for governor. Since he has
not asked any mans support, or said
to anyone that he Is a candidate, he
has not felt he could withdraw from
race he has not entered, and still less
could he decline a nomination not yet
offered.
More to him than his own political
fortunes is the welfare of the Repub-
lican party. Whoever is nominated
could count upon his loyal support
With all other steadfast Republicans
he awaits the action Of the party's
representatives in state convention,
and will cheerfully support their de-
cision."

Florence Tucker Boylan.

When little Florence came to us. :carce
a score of years ago, unto the earth a
joy was born, into our lives blessing
fell. The radiant, uplifting, ennobling
blessing of a spirit pure and brave, by
the light of whose beautiful faith our
eyes were taught to sec, not the trouble
and pain and grief of earth; but its beau
ty, it's joy, it's worthiness OF the best
that is in us all
Around the young life clustered many
lives, tired and world-weary. and unto
them all she brought a message of good
cheer. One looked into those wonderful
gray eyes and felt she understood.
Another, sad with the sorrows Of others,
caught an echo from her laughing little
mouth and the dark places were Il ado
bright.
Her heart was full of kindness and
help for ALL ''She was the friend of all
the world" She understood. Your Joy
wanted it's crown without the music of
her alugh, the flash of her ready wit;
and into your sorrow she came like sun
shine in a shady place"
