WHERE UNCLE JOE CANNON

a Romance Of Ohio's Western Re-
serve Which Is Remembered with
Pleasure by Scores Of Happy
Old Settlers

The story of how Uncle Joe" Cannon
got his wife, as related by Col S. F.
Fink, Of Winfield, Kan, is full Of inter
sst. Col Fink was born at Garfield,
o.. the seat Of Mahoning academy
where Molly Reed, who later became the
wife Of Speaker Cannon, was school
girl. The charms Of this young wom-
an, who was the flower of that then
western settlement, are interestingly
described by Col. Fink In hts reminis-
sences of northeastern Ohio.
THAT section produced some strong

was the center and heart Of western
abolitionism, the route OF the under
ground railroad. In the days Of the rev.
olution the British burned the towns,
villages and the homes of the people,
and when the states coded to the gem
eral government their lands Connect
cut reserved this tract 10 reimburse Its
people, for their fire losses, and this
Connecticut western reserve became the
arelands of Ohio. The Connecticut Yam
KEGS lmmigrated to these lands and
brought their abolitionism with them,
and Yankeedom grew In Ohio.
Yankeedom' produced some mighty
men-three presidents Of the republic,
Hayes, Garfield and Mckinley. Others
were Joshua r. Giddings, Ben Wade and
Mark Hanna. This was the early home
of Gen. Chaffee, the son OF lawyer,
and William Dean HowelIs, the author.

CONQUEST OF LHASA.
BRITISH HAVE NO REASON TO
BE PROUD OF 1T.
Picturesqueness Of Invasion Of the
Sacred Capital Of Thibet By Eng
hsh Troops Does Not Conceal
Brutality of the Act.

In spite Of the cold brutality Of the
British expedition into Thibet. tho
imagination Is arrested by the thought
OF the opening Of the gates Of I.hasa to
the outside world. No one spot on the
surface OF the globe, not even the north
pole, has possessed for travellers and
Adventures the charm Of the Thibetan
capital and the holy city OF Lamaism.
Many Of the most daring explorers the
world has known have been bafied by
the hardships Of the Journey over the
high and snow-swept plateaus, or by the
ceaseless vigilance and relentless oppo-
sition Of the natives. Nature and man
have combined to guard the sacred
Thibetan city, and only one or two
choice spirits have been able to force
their way into its forbidden precincts.
Among the most notable failures is
the recent attempt Of the greatest OF
modern explorers. Sven Hedin, who
would have reached Lhasa hid he not
been turned back by the Thibetans. as
he had already conquered the indescrib
able hardships that had turned back or
destroyed so many previous explorers
The failure Of Miss Taylor and that OF
Prince Henri Of Orleans are also fresh
in memory. The attempt by Mr.. Ian
dor, and his ignominous failure, is
probably too mythical to be seriously
accepted as part OF the history OF
Thibetau explorations.
Yet Lhasa had been reached and pref
ty thoroughly explored before the Eng
lish army from India invaded It. Pa
Their Hue lived there for months and
left fairly accurate account OF the city
and its inhabitants. Chandra Das also
succeeded In reaching the sacred city,
but his account is not very satisfactory
The most successful of all explorations
was, as might have been expected, by
Japanese. Kawaguchi, who not only
reached Lhasa and lived there for
months, but thoroughly informed him

months in the Cleveland jail.
"In the early eos, while these stir
ring events were being enacted and
these mighty men we're on the stage"
says Col. Fink. Molly Reed was
school girl In Mahonlng academy at
Garfield, on the southern borders of
the firelands, ten miles south of where
Mckinley first saw the light of life,
and seven west of where he spent
his boyhood days and put on the blue
OF a soldier. Garfield was then a
beautiful little city set on a Hill, with
broad streets, thiokly set with trees,
the home of a cultivated, Intelligent
people, an ideal school town Molly
Reed was a beautiful, bright, rosy
checked, cherry-iipped, and happy girl.
She had many admirers. They came
and then went with Molly's smiley ar
her frowns. Her beauty and her win.
someness made her the master, and
her pathway was strewn with many
broken hearts
lin the summer OF the great cam
paign, while the black clouds Of dis
aster hung over the nation. Molly went
20 the then faraway prairies 10 visit
her cousins and aunts. Uncle joe
then a boy lawyer, was fascinated by
Molly Reed, and she in turn was won
by him. In the face of this Molly
returned to her home to await the
coming of Joe In the springtlme. One
by one her companions learned, in
confidence, of her betrothal until II
became the village story that Molly
was going TO marry some fellow from
the prairies.
"The marriage day had been fixed
and the time OF the coming of Joe was
as widely known as that OF her be
