Senator Hannas lively interest In the
welfare of the young man in politics
dates back TO q lesson that the young
man brought home TO him In the early
's0s
Congressman Amos Townsend Of
Cleveland was UP for reelection and
bis Democratic opponent was Martin
A. Foran, who hardly expected at first
to win more than empty honors, as the
district was Republican by several
thousand majority, But suddenly the
serenity Of the Republican household
was disrupted by demands on the part
OF the younger element, who earlier
IN the campaign had won out AT the
caucuses In many Of the wards, The
central committee OF the district. Of
which Mr., Hanna was m influential
member. had to recognize "the boys"
as they we're called, but II did not and
would not supply them with funds with
which TO carry on the campaign in their
respective wards,
what do you boys know about rum
ming a campaign" the committee ask
ed, amusedly, so the money was given
to the former ward leaders, and the
young men were referred to the very
men they had defeated for comfort,
which naturally was not forthcoming,
That made the new leaders mad all
over "We'll teach 'em LESSON they
said. "We'll show Mark Hanna and the
rest that we're not to be treated Ike
babies"
They went quietly to work among the
young men of both parties. I'VE young
men should not look upon the campaign
solely from the political issues inyOly-

thing eQualaly important at stake, IL
is this; Shall the young men have

or destroyed In one way or another.

become a savage wild beast, snarling
Hercely, with ears laid back, and swapping
with It's baby teeth at the hand which
sought to caress II. And though we
sought to divert him In every way we
could think Of, II was two or three days
before he quite forgot that meat
He soon became very playful, and he
was never quiet except when he was
asleep. He searched the rooms for
scraps of paper. balls Of twine and other
small articles. and having found some
thing to interest him he would run on
with II, shaking 1t as he went. He was
very fond of us ALL and when he re-
turned. after an absence OF an hour or
more, he showed his delight by wagging
his tail, putting out his tongue and
painting open-mouthed. as we often see
little dogs pant under similar circum-
stances.

diet of milk was becoming tiresome to
him. and was obliged to give him meat

Y The proprietor of the Sale Wagrain
offered prizes for the couples who could
dance the longest The contest began at
II p. m. and Al couples started.
They were all composed of young men
and women, with the exception of one
couple of two men. and the male part
ners included soldier ard two negroes.
The only hard and fast condition of the
contest was thrs couples should dance
without cessation ard keep walking all
the time.
At the erd Of the first hour four
couples had stepped dancing; at the
end of the second hour IL more had had
