"Hullo, there" he cried. What
are ye doing up my tree, eh?"
The boy was pale and shivering
with fright; but he had not altogether
lost his presence OF mind.
"P-please, Sir" he shivered, that

CANNON AND FAIRBANKS.
Two Men Most Prominently Men
toned.

Washington. May I6.-There is a
vast difference in the personalities Of
I"Uncle Joe" Cannon and Senator
Fairbanks, the two men so much talk
ed for the republican vice presidential
nomination. 1t was supposed here
all along that Senator Fairbanks
would have the place without opposi-
ton, but some one sprang the name
oi Speaker Cannon at time when
enthusiasm was ripe for him. and
there is deep fear in the heart OF the
Illinois man himself that he will be
kidnapped and forced into the posi-
ton against his hearty remonstrances,
His fear is so deep that he and his
friends out in Illinois are plotting like
the most vertiable conspiritors for
any other patient political Steed who
will stand steady long enough to re-
ceive the load on his back. Cannon
is running away from the prospects
worse than frightened humans from
yellow fever outbreak. and Fair
banks is saying nothing. assuming a
most digniied stand and waiting de-
velopments. He is said to want the
nomination but he does not let his
views in that direction be known. He
takes the position that he will not
enter into a scramble for the place or
seek it any way If he is nominated
with the opinion that there will be
fight. he will withdraw.
There is still a strong desire to
push the nomination on the Illinois
man. This comes about from the per-
sonal popularity of Cannon. and the
fact that members OF congress all
over the country would be glad to
see his political fortunes prosper. 1t
is anything with them to push along
the high regard for Uncle Joe" and
advertise him thoroughly. Mr.. Can
non is a really good fellow. and at
the same time perfectly practical

the great speakers of the house. be-
loved by republicans and democrats.
Reed was brainier man and ruled

ability. He had none OF Cannon's
good fellow spirit about him. He
was distant, sarcastic. lacking in jo-
vial qualities and reveling in 1ronclad
barbs. which he hurled without dis
crimination at his weaker brethren,

Dr.. Scherer's Step To Greater Use

Editor Herald and News: Speak
ing of the approaching inauguration
.: DR.. J. \. B. Scherer, as president
OF Newberry college. The Herald
and News OF Friday last truly says:
The press throughout the state has
heeE unanimous III praise OF DR..
Scherer and in recommending his tlt-
ress for the position he will occupy.
Well known as preacher, as AZ
orator, as All earnest and sincere
worker, as a successful author ana
as noble gentleman. it may be saiu
that Newberry college is truly to be
congratulated on the prospect OF hav-
ing such man at its head. In praise
OF him who will step down on this

adorned for ten years il is iclt no
words are adequate.
Pardon me io' calling attention tu

derstood. | speak OF it, in II" spirit
oi criticism. for fully agree with the
thought evidently in the mind OF the
writer that the highest and most I'M
portant position that any man can
occupy is that OF minister OF the
gospel. For any man to abandon
such position for any other would
be step down, but in this case
the step is only into another held
OF Christian work and influence. For
DR.. Scherer it is step down. at
the call of duty and of the church,
from larger TO a smaller salary;
from the pastorase OF congcnial and
appreciative people to a position in
which he will sometimes seem to
stand alone: from the personal ad-
vantageS OF residence in city. to
the supposed disadvantages of resi-
de,re Il: smaller community. But
in view OF the facts that the most I'M
portant work Of the church today Is
the work OF christian educatlon, that

FIFTY SHOWS ON THE PIKE.

When finished the Pike will show some fifty shows. The Galveston Flood" New York to the North Pole" and the Bat tie Abbey" are all notable structures, and if their combined spaces were put together in one building under one roof would form a structure equal in area to the monster transportation build ing of the worlds fair at Chica- go. These great shows are con- trolled by the Criterion Conces- sion Company and required an outlay of nearly one million dol lars to install. They were con- ceived by Emmett w. Mcconnell, better known as the White Czar of the Midway" young Texan who but a few years ago worked for $35 per month and perfected his education in a Texas college while earning it. The expositions in Omaha, Nash vile, Atlanta and Buffalo made him independently rich.
 His associate partner and the designer of the above great shows is Edward J. Austin, the we'll known and distinguished artist, who was the brains and fertile imagination of the late Steele Mackaye, the projector of the great spectatorium of the Chicago worlds fair, who con trols and directs the hundreds of artists, mechanics and electri- clans required to execute the coinage of his artistic brain. All the stock in this monster concern is held by Mcconnell, Austin and some twenty of the leading mer- chants of St. Louis.

money locked up in them that will not turn.
