stood when protesting his innocence
of heresy-is introduced by Haw-
thorne in one of his tales. The list of
members of the family who have been
archbishops, bishops and priests is an
imposing one. One of the foremost
men of letters of his day was Herbert
Marsh, Bishop of Peterborough. Fran
els Marsh was Archbishop of Dublin
in the reign of William III, and Mar
cissus Marsh was Archbishop of Ar
magh. He records with pride that he
was never logged at school, and
notes, "for which Gods name be
praised" that during his whole under
graduate course at Oxford he tasted
every week from 6 p. m. Thursday
till III a. m. Saturday.
In the New World the Marshes were
men of affairs. John Marshe was one
of the first settlers. In the early his
tory of Litchfeld, Conn, the name of
John Marshe occurs upon nearly every
public document in town transactions
and acts of the Legislature. He was the
first town clerk and one of the first
selectmen Jonathan Marsh, another
pilgrim father, lived at Hartford, of
which he was one of the founders.
His wife was the daughter of Captain
Joseph Wadsworth, the man who in
the sudden darkness of legislative
session laid hands on the charter of
Connecticut and hid it within an oak
tree.
The family were represented in the
Colonial wars and those of 1910 and

years old in the Revolutionary ARMY,
but, being below the regulation size,
was rejected as soldier. His spirit
of patriotism, however, was stronger
than army regulations, and he she
ceeded finally n being admitted into
the ranks of officers assistants He
also served one winter as steward in
Washington's family. He used to tell
the story that one of his perquisites
was the broken cake, and Mrs. Wash
ington took care that he should have
all he wanted
Nathaniel Marsh had charge of the
company which escorted Burgoyne to
Cambridge after the surrender at Sara
toga. Nathaniel, although he rose to
high rank before the end of the war,
had his share in its fortunes and hard
ships. He once paid So for five burned
potatoes, which were eaten without
salt-a luxury which the army was
nearly always without, except when
taken from the enemy
When the meetings of the Marsh

down with nervous exhaustion three
weeks before.
His place was taken by millionaire
soap-maker eager to buy seat in
Parliament. He gave the National
Liberal Federation a check for $4,000
as the price of foisting him upon
what was thought to be a safe con-
stituency. He spent on the contest
every cent he dared spend without
running up against the Corrupt Prac-
tees Act; he doubled and trebled the
Conservative candidates subscriptions
to the local societies, and then thought
that he surely must be elected. But
when the poll was taken, he was
beaten by over 1000 votes. A candl-
dates personality counts for far more
than his money, and high social posi-
ton is better than either in some con-
stituencies.

OF one candidate who was elected in
sport-loving city of Yorkshire sim
ply because he was one of the best
amateur football players in England.
The Hon. Philip Stanhope, who
used to be called the Prince Rupert
of the Liberals won forlorn hope
in rural constituency by the skill
and daring with which he drove a
coach and eight white horses. He
didn't trouble about speech-making
or canvassing the electors; he simply
sat on the box of the coach, a fine
figure of man, and drove, his eight
white horses round the sharpest cor
ners he could sfnd, laughing gaily as
he faced death, and CALAMITY saluting
all the girls he passed along the road.
Who cared what Phil Stanhope's
political opinions were2 Probably he
would have been troubled if called
upon to explain them. But he could

the county; he was a cricketer of
national fame, and in his college
days, not so many years before, he
had thrashed famous prize-hghter.
Of course, he was elected by an over
whelming majority. The fact that he
was the son of an earl helped him,
for it is still true that Englishmen
dearly love lord" Curiously
enough, the one political principle
which he really held clearly and
strongly was the desirability of abol-
ishing the House of Lords That ap-
pealed to the voters sense of humor,
especially as he was every inch an
aristocrat in temperament
1t may be gathered from what has
gone before that the general election
in England is not a great national
campaign in the sense that it is here,
but a congeries of local fights. The
central organizations of the parties
do not play anything like the i'm
portant part they play in this coun-
try
The candidate is chosen by. the
general committee of the local party,
usually called the -Four Hundred" A
well-known and popular local man is
preferred, even to statesman of ma
tional eminence but if no such man
is available, the central organization
sends two or three would-be candi-
dates from London. They address
the -Four Hundred" much like min
isterial candidates preaching before
the elders of a vacant church, and
the one who makes the best impress
sion is chosen.
Naturally, the man who is willing
to pay the whole or the biggest
share of the election = expenses is
selected, other things being equal. 1t
would amaze an American politician
to see how much money the candi-
date puts up, and how little the party
contributes. Leaving out of account
the handful of Labor members, who
are paid salaries by their party, Eng
fish politics is run by few rich men
who are either anxious to take part
in the great game of craftsmanship
for its own sake, or who yearn for
the social hallmark which they think
membership of the House of Com
mons bestows. That is why there are
so few men of real distinction in that
assembly, as compared with some
other Parliaments. The average M. P.
is not an intellectual prodigy.
The professional ''spellbinder" cuts
small figure in England. There is
plenty of speech-making during a
campaign I knew one candidate who
made an average of seven speeches a
day for six weeks, and ten a day
for the last week-but it is nearly
all done by local volunteers and by
friends of the candidate, who are suf-
fciently interested in his success to
spend few days or weeks in the
constituency, and pay their own ex-
penses.
The Conservative central organiza-

land, but not Ireland and Wales, at
least sixty per cent. of the electorate
consists of people who have no polit-
ical affiliations, and can be swayed
from one side to another with COM
parative ease. In some constituent
cies the percentage is much higher;
in others, which have been worked
and organized with extraordinary care
by both parties, it may not be more
than ten per cent. More depends, as
general rule, upon the personality
of the candidate than upon the plat
form and record of his party.
Although a smaller portion of the
people are political partisans and
there is not so much general interest
sans are apt to be much more violent
than their American prototypes. A
keenly-fought election is extremely
rough. Meetings are frequently
broken up by main force, and it is
common incident for the candidates
to be pelted with flour, rotten eggs,
and even stones, as they drive through
the streets in carriages decorated with
their colors Everybody wears party
favors, and a favorite joke is to deco
rate a donkey with the opposition's
emblems
At one Liberal meeting in a thea
tire, at which was present, rowdy
Conservative in the gallery was
seized by the arms and legs and
thrown neck and crop to the floor.
His right arm and three of his ribs
were broken Next evening, the Con-
servatives broke up Liberal meeting,
driving the candidate and his friends
from the platform by volleys of
stones and rotten vegetables. This
was not an unusually violent cam
paign.
AS soon as the votes have been
counted in the Town Hail.. or other
principal building of the district, the
Returning Officer" steps out on to
balcony, followed by the candidates,
the winner first That is the first in
timation of the tesus& to the crowd
in the street below. The Returning
Officer reads out the figures, and the
candidates then shake hands in full
view of the assembled multitude.
The winner proposes a vote of thanks
to the Returning Officer, which the
loser seconds. They take the oppor-
tunity to say nice things about one
another, and, however fierce the fight
may have been, all animosity is then
buried until the next election comes
around.
A conclusive proof of the essential
ly local character of the campaign is
that you. cannot console an English
politician whose candidate has lost by
telling him that his party has won
throughout the country. And if his
candidate has been elected, he is quite
cheerful, even though the party as a
whole has been beaten.

1t has long been the custom of the
Westerner of the United States to
brag about the boundless prairies OF
his own country. But, if he only knew
it, the prairies of much smaller coun-
try than the United States are much
nearer being really "boundless.
These great prairies are found in,
Argentina. where there is an area,
described as broken by nothing in the
way of an elevation larger than an
ant hill, that is 1000 miles long by 500
miles wide, with a total square mile
age of million and a quarter. One
writer, quite overcome by the vast ex-
panse, describes this territory not as
"prairies," but zone immense single
prairie" Crossing this great foor-like
expanse is the longest single stretch
of rail on the Western Continent. 1t
runs almost without curve, grade or
cut, and is the longest "air line" high
way of steel in the whole world.
The people of Argentina call their
vast prairies the pampas. They were
originally quite without trees, but
many thousands of planted eucalyptus
trees now shade the cattle on its al
most limitless pastures.

Americans are accustomed. Only the
members of the House of Commons
are to be chosen by the people, and
the nearest equivalent is, therefore,
the election of Congressional repre-
sentatives.
In some parts of England there is
hardly more than ripple of political
excitement over general election, be-
cause of the preponderance of power
enjoyed by one or other of the po-
litical parties. The county of Kent,
for example, is so overwhelmingly
Conservative that the Liberals do not
even trouble to contest most of the
seats. In some parts of Scotland, it
is hopeless, even absurd, for Conser-
vative to seek election; and over a
wide area of Ireland the Nationalist
members are usually returned unop-
posed. Nearly all the Welsh mem
bers are Liberals at every election.
None of the three great political
parties-the Liberals, the Conserva-
tives and the Nationalist to
spend money in fighting hopeless con-
stituencies. English campaign funds
are miserably small in comparison
with American, for the simple reason
that the political issues seldom touch
the business interests of the country
in vital and immediate way. The
only exception is that the brewers and
acknowledgements "publicans," as
they are called-put up lot of money
for the Conservative campaign, be-
lieving that the Liberals would give
power to the local communities to en-
force prohibition if they desiredsto do
so.
The campaign funds, being small,
are naturally conserved for fighting
contests where there is a chance Of
winning. Forlorn hopes upon the
enemy's strongholds are almost al

ton, which always has great deal
more money to spend than the Lib
erals have, sends few speakers
where they are most needed; but a
candidate considers il, rather dis
grace to have to call for .hem, as it
reflects upon his own popularity.

particular cause, which may be un-
popular with the mass of the voters,
most candidates would rather do with
out their support"
I remember Tory M. P. who had
kept his seat for many years in a
town strongly in favor of local op-
tion"-prohibition by municipal vote.
He was careful to avoid the liquor
question and to dwell mainly upon the
preservation of the Union, and other
appealing topics. He lost his seat at
last because, despite his almost tear
full protests, the central body of the
liquor trades political organization
insisted on sending half dozen of
its "spellbinders" to stump his terri
tory. Their support" ruined him
with the voters.
The Liberals draw large number
of speakers from their two principal
London clubs-the National Liberal
Club and the Eighty Club. These men
never receive pay, and in most cases
pay their own expenses. The Eighty
Club is regarded as sort of pre-
serve from which to draw speakers
and candidates as they sEe needed for
the good of the party.
Photographs of candidates are used
to a considerable extent, but they are
always printed on small cards and
mailed to the voters, usually with the
brief legend underneath: your vote
and interest are requested on behalf
of Thomas SHOCKS, the Liberal carr
didate." The huge poster and banner
portraits, which play such an import
ant part in American elections, are
unknown in England.
Large quantities of leaflets, popu-
larly known as tracts" are sent out
by the central organizations; but the
bulk of the printed appeals to the
electors are locally produced. The
candidate and his personal friends
write a good many Of them, and the
editor of the party newspaper usually
gives his services for this purpose.
He is much in demand, for he is able
to work in a lot of local references
that will appeal to the people.
The candidate often buys the party
newspaper when he first descends on
a constituency, and uses it as his prin-
cipa1 means of reaching the electors
If not, it is generally controlled by
his leading supporters. Improbable
papers are maintained for political
reasons to an infinitely greater ex-
tent than they are in America.

A Terrible Price for Fame.

An engineer named Knorr, Ger
man who has become naturalized
Russian, built four of the great bridges
on the Siberian Railway, in
GLIDING the big Yenisei and Obi
bridges, which cost, respectively,
81, 100000 and 100000. They were
great engineering feats and brought
him international fame in his pro-
fession.
He had FIVE daughters, who were
famous in Russia for their beauty, and
whom he loved dearly. Just after his
first great bridge was completed, one
of them died; and as each of his three
succeeding bridges was built, another
died. There seemed to be a fatality
in it.
He would not build fifth bridge,
and now all his fame and wealth are
worth nothing to him, for he has
never recovered from the shock of
losing his dearly-loved children.

At a luncheon a short time ago a
new form of entertainment was pro-
vided by the guests themselves. The
hostess asked each one to come in
some way representing her fad; then
the guests were supplied with pencils
and cards and the one who guessed
the greatest number of hobbies sug-
gested received a prize. One girl, who
