An Amusing Experience.

Professor Starr of the University
Of Chicago, in his study of the differ
ent races of the world, has had many
amusing experiences among primitive
tribesmen.
To an Indian, one day, he attempted
to explain the principle of the automo-
bile. The Indian was intelligent, and
Professor Starts explanation was n
model of directness and lucidity.
"Well," he said Mt it's end edo YOU
think you understand all about the
automobile n0w?"
The Indian, who had listened intent
ly. replied:
eyes. I understand all but one
thing"
"And what is that?" said Professor
Starr, thinking to clear up in word
some trifling point that he had over
looked.
II don't understand" said the In
dian, "what makes the automobile 20

that you do not hold it up against me

Grady's Campaign Contribution.

AS this is "cOntributiOn'' wear
among the politicians, the following
pointed story is apropos:
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
hall leader, told recently an incident
in the campaign of 1895, when Thomas
Il. Grady had been nominated for the
legislature after long retirement. Hi.
district included the Twentieth Assem-
bly, district, of which james P. Keat-
ing was the Tammany leader, and the
Eighteenth Assembly district, of which
Mr.. Murphy was, and is still, the Tam
many leader. Grady at that time had
not paid his usual assessment to the
campaign committees of the assembly
districts in his senate district and so
keating and Murphy called on him, in
tending to demand that he immediate
ly turn over his due proportion of the
election expenses. Keating volunteer
ed to act as spokesman.
''Now, Tom," he began, "you know
times are hard and many of our men
are out of Office, so our campaign
funds are low. OF course, we've got
to run the campaign, and we came to
see you to find out If"
"Jim," said Grady, solemnly looking
at Keating and then looking also at
Murphy, "and you, Charlie, too. Say
no more about it. I know how things
are. and I would not under the cir
cumstances accept campaign contri-
button from either Of you"
Keating looked nonplussed for mo-
ment, and then looked at Murphy.
Charlie" he said in alarm, "let's
get out Of here quick, or Grady will
be borrowing money Of u.s."

possible that you were born that way.
or was it recently acquired for rev.
enue only? 1t would seem to be the
latter, since those to the manner
born so far as my experience goes,
find no necessity for announcing the
fact of their religious belief on occa-
sion Of applying for situation. In
any event, the announcement of ones
religion unasked is the surest way of
'queering' an applicant for position
with us. Your application is declined

porting immediate tariff revision, will
do to the Democratic cause in that
state
WESTERN BATTLE GROUNDS.
Indiana and Wisconsin will be the
battle grounds in the west. Chairman
Taggart returned to Democratic head
quarters last week and reported that
the Indiana Democrats were in better
condition than they had been since
1892. He thinks the state is going
Democratic. On the other hand,
Chairman Cortelyou seems to be very
confident Of Indiana. An impartial
observer, who has been making esti-
mates on that state for many years,
gives the opinion that the Republicans
have the best of it. Neither party has
completed it's tabulation of the sixty
day poll of the state, and until they
get the figures at headquarters there
will, of course, be considerable doubt
as to the drift.
Both parties are sturdily claiming
Wisconsin. The Democrats hope that
the trouble between the Republican
''stalwarts" and "half breeds" will de-
feat the Republican electors. They
admit that Roosevelt is very popular
in the state and that it will be difficult
to make either faction vote for Parker
electors. The troubles between La
Toilette and the '"stalwarts" will
come up in the Wisconsin courts to-
morrow at Madison.
There is to be contest for electors
in all the Rocky mountain states. In
Colorado the labor troubles are ex-
pected to affect the Republican vote.
| The state went for Bryan fusion elec.
tors in 1900 by 29,661, and for Gov
ernor Peabody in 1902 by 1926. There
is no fusion now to help the Demo.
Gratis. The Republicans confidently
claim the state for the presidential
ticket, but there may be surprise.
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Utah
are all now in the Republican column
The Democrats have made good state
nominations in all these states and
will contest with spirit for the cleo
tors. On the other hand, the Republi
cans think they have good chance
to carry Nevada.
SITUATION SUMMED UP.
This is the situation six weeks be.
fore election. The Democrats are hop
ing for change in sentiment among
the great masses of the voters which
will enable them to carry enough
doubtful states to give them eighty
electoral votes that are not now clearly
in sight. The Republicans are hoping
for continuance of present condi
tiOns.
Throughout the campaign New Yorl
will engross attention, for in New
York situation might develop which
would give the Democrats the advant
age they are looking for. 1t might, il
the opinion of some veteran campaign
ers, become so bad for the Republicans
that the bottom would drop out of thu
entire Republican campaign in tht
east.

'James Lynch, Esq.
"Dear Sir: We are glad to have
your letter Of August II. When we
received your former letter we could
not conceive Of any reason for the
statement which it contained as to
your religious belief, except that it
was intended as an inducement for us
to employ you. We were not aware
that it was the practice in Massachu-
setts. as your letter gives us to UNDER
stand that it is. to inquire as to the
religion of applicants for employment
1t is not the practice here, and, per-
sonally. 7 believe it to be vicious
practice anywhere. I have had near
ly twenty years experience in hiring
men. and yours is the second instance
in all that time that IN applicant for
a position has ever suggested the form
of his religious belief to me. or has
ever been asked what it was. We
employ between four and six hundred
men. and to have your application the
second one in all these years and
among all these men to suggest rclig-
ious belief was quite new thing to

sneaker was Harry Stillwell Edwards.
WELL" said the chairman to the con-
vention, ''his middle name is StillTc. Il
and both are good r~--~e."
He then formally introduced Ed
wards in a short but effective speech.
Edwards. who is a man of slight ply
sioue, is not gifted with penetrating
voice like that of Black, Beveridge and
Knight. and for this reason he was un-
able to command the absorbing atten-
ton that had been given to those who
spoke before him. His speech was emf
nently satisfactory, however, to those
within range of his voice and he was
frequently interrupted by applause.
sThe chair recognizes Governor
Bradley of Kentucky said Cannon, as
Edwards concluded. and he came for
ward, leading the compact form of
Governor Bradley.
'T introduce to you" said the chair
man, "a gentleman who comes from a
state where they take their politics g
they take their whisky-straight"
That the sentiment was favorably
received was evidenced by a hearty
burst of applause.
