Increased Hanna's Confidence in Nc
kinley.

In the course of his career in Cleveland
Mr.. Hanna became acquainted with James
A. Garfield and his interest in Garfield
led him to take an active part in the pres
idential campaign Of 1881. Four years later
he was elected delegate to the Republican
can National convention which nomina =
ted Blaine. At that convention he IA
vored the nomination OF John Sherman.
Sharing his room at the hotel was Will
liam Mckinley. who favored Blaine :
nomination. This anecdote is told Of a
midnight visit to their joint quarters by
some advocates of a dark horse nomi-
natioll-either Sherman or George +. Ed
munds. Senator Edmunds's candidacy
was being pushed by certain delegates
from Massachusetts and New York, and
his cause was in the hands of George Will
liam Curtis and Theodore Roosevelt
There was a great knocking at the door
of the Hanna Mckinley room late in the
FIRST night of the convention. Mckinley
answered the call and admitted the boom
ers of the Vermont man. They hurredly
told their plan for combination by
which the nomination should go to Ed
munds or Sherman. according to the num-
Der of ballots each should receive during
the first vote. The major listened to the
scheme from his place under the covers.
but made no comment on the elaborate
plan. He heard them nearly to the end
and then said: Gentlemen. l think you
must have made a mistake The Sher-
man man is over there in the other bed
He then rolled over and went to sleep
as the visitors shook up Hanna to retcil
their story. 1t increased Mr. Hanna :
faith in Mckinley that he never made
use of these misplaced condolences to the
benefit of Blaine

NO USE 70 WHINE.

A Medicai View of Very Disagree.
able Human Trait.
There isn't anything in the world
more disagrccable than a whining
person. He whines if it is hot. lie
whines if it is cold. lie whines at
this, he whines at that, he whines
at everything. Whine, whine, whine
1T is just habit ne has fallen into.
There is nothing the matter with
him. 1t Is just bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle
person or lazy one. What he
needs is to DO set to work-at real
hard work, mental or physical; !;
some work that will interest him
and engage his whole attention-and
he will not have time to whine. We
know two women. Ono of them
does her own housework and takes
care Of her horse besides. She is
happy and singing ell tho day long.
Tho keyboard Of her life sounds no
whining note. 1t is pleasure to be
with her, good wholesome tonic
to watch ner. The other woman is
SO situated that she does not have
to woEk-nothing TO DO but to
amuse herself. She hos NO zest. in
life, no interest in anything. She
is bunch Of selishncss and whines
ut everything. Whining has become
such habit with her that her most
casual remark is tinged with q
whine. She is miserable herself
and makes everybody else in her
presence miserable. She is o weak
ling, parasite, a drag, heavy
weight on somebody oil the time.
Get the whine out of your voice
or it will stop the development and
growth of your body. 1t will mar
row and shrink your mind. 1t will
drive away your friends. 1t will
make you unpopular. Quit your
whining; brace up; go to work; be
something; stand for something;
fill your place in the universe. In,
stead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face about
and make something of yourself.
Reach up to the stature of strong,
ennobling manhood, to the beauty
and strength of superb woman
hood.
There is nothing the matter with
you. Just quit your whining and
60 to work.-Medical Talk.

Only a Pupny.

The youth had just left college,
and his ambition, like his collar,
was high. At home the. all engross-
ing subject was the young mans
future career, and he was discussing
with his parents which of the pro-
fessions stood most in need of his
genius. The fathers idea of his
sons ability was disgustingly low.
81 Think" said the old man, chat
you had better adorn one of the
stools in my office.''
The young man drew himself up,
and the high collar grew tight as he
strove to swallow his righteous an
ger. Folding his arms, he asked:
"Is thy servant dog?"
"No, but. you'll grow!" came the
crushing response.

was little gain. The second ascent
came at last, and here, on broken
road, full of deep ruts, which help
ed to check the stage, the young
man brought everything up stand
ing. A two mile run it had been,
and the horses were still rearing
and plunging.
The other passenger peered care
fully out Of the window and asked
what wes the matter. He was or
dered to open the DOR, jump out
and take the leaders by the head.
The young man 'set" the brakes,
climbed down and began to collect
the remnants of the lines and knot
them together.
A little later Smoky came run
ming up in state of despair and ex-
haustion. His pleasure at discov-
ering the coach and horses unin-
jured took the form of a series of
wild yells and contortions that
would have done credit to a Shasta
Indian skeleton dance. He climbed
back on the box, the passengers got
in and the stage started off at re-
doubled speed to make sp ior lost
time.
The story went around among
the stage drivers. There was one
young fellow that must be taken
care of. He was to have the seat
with the driver, no matter who
wanted it. He was the "man wot
stopped Smoky's turnout on the
Penn Valley grade" Even today
if the hero of this true tale were
to leave his great mills and bust
ness enterprises in San Francisco
and 60 to the wilds of Modoc and
Siskiyou beyond the outposts of the
railroad he would be almost sure to
discover that his name and fame
we're known, that the word would
be sent along the line, "Smoky's
passenger is goin' over this road"
and the grumpiest of old stagers
would unbend and treat him as an
equal. The young man who climb
ed out over the wheel and "put down
the brakes" on Smoky's stagecoach
thirty years ago is still an honorary
member of the craft of ancient and
weather beaten masters of the whip
and ribbons.
Perhaps the reader will think that
the story is incomplete withcrt the
name of the young man. It was A.
S. Hallidie, the inventor of the ca
bic car system of San Francisco and
of many valuable lining and en-
gineering contrivances.

CURES CATARRH.
"KHy Omei the Most Wonderful
Cure Ever DiscOver-I:'' AnxA
Evans l'harlmacy.

Do not try to cure catarrh by tax
ing drugs into the stomach; it cannot
be cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common dis
ease can be cured is through direct
application that will kill the bacilli
of catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
OF treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is tho simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh thai
has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the
most prominent men and women in
the county who have been cured by
this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
bankers, lawyers, even eminent physi-
clans have given strong testimonials
as to the remarkable powers of Hyo-
mel to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 .00and consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic ad
deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
Doetles OF dyOmel can De obtained for
SOC. 1t liz not alone tie best Git
might be called the only) method Of
curing catarrh, but it is also the most
economical.
Evans Pharmacy have so much con.
fidence in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh, that they will for q limited
time, sell this medicine under their
personal guarantee to refund the mon.
ey If the purchasers can say that it
did not help them.

His Selection.

Dean Pigou writes in his book Of
anecdotes: "What stories bishops
could tell Of answers given by can
didates for ordination I have this
on good authority: A candidate was
asked what there was in the Bible
to encourage celibacy. His reply
was: "Their priests were slain by
the sword, and there were no widows
to make lamentation." But, my
lord. it IS right to add that there is
another rendering-"Thc priests
were slain with the sword, and their
widows made no lamentation."
