Entrance Into Politics.
He had been studying law while at Cor
nell and when he graduated he went into
the practice of law at Cincinnati He has
never taken down his sningle and his firm
still enjoys large practice throughout
that portion Of the state. He got his first
taste Of politics when he was elected Judge
of the superior court in 1870
In 1882 he was the republican candidate
for governor, but was defeated From
thence his life has been one of constant
strife In politics. Probably there is not
elsewhere in the United States the active
fractional feeling that has prevailed among
the republicans of Ohio for the past twenty
five years. John Sherman had his expert

When the first Turkish minister,
Mele Mele, came to Washington, q
grand ball was planned In his honor.
Hundreds of invitations were sent out,
and nearly everybody who received
one came, for there was much curios-
ity to see the important Turk In his
native dress. Particularly were per-
sons anxious to examine the splendid
dress turban which had been described
and talked about. made, as 1t was. Of
plaster Of paris, yet looking like the
finest muslin. When the evening ar
rived, Mele Mele seemed to be the only
one who was not having a good time.
He stood looking az II he did not know
that everybody was admiring him and
altogether was very much bored till
he caught glimpse OF a big
negro woman who was assisting In
serving the supper. Instantly he
rushed up TO her and. throwing his
arms about her neck, gave her good
kiss, explaining that he could not help

while the company thought 1t a very

a Logical Harvest.

The statement that "WhatsOever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap
is as true today as it was when made
by the great apostle many centuries
ago. And the rule applies to nations
as well as individuals. AS one writ
er recently said: Sowing debauchery
Rome reaped ruin" From the
seeds of enervating ease Greece
gathered her sheaVes of disas-
ter. Governments can commit sui
eide. Witness Russia. Disseminat-
ing ignorance-propagating discord
for centuries, she gathered an impo-
tent army on the bloodsoaked fields
of Manchuria, while at home the
rioter with his hoarse cries and anar-
chist with his boom struck terror To
the hearts of the nobility and caused
the car to tremble on his throne.
The clouds of Russia's present storm
have long been gathered in the sky.
For almost a century the government
has been alternating from itself the
hearts of the people. Films, Armen-
ians, Poles and luckless Jews are re-
peatedly prosecuted without mercy.
Russia having sown to the wind, is
now reaping the whirlwind of dis
aster."

The International Live Stock ExposI-
ton to be held In Chicago, Dec.
ia TO pa

1.-THE International Live Stock
Exposition is an index of the pro-
gress of animal breeding in this
country. Here are annually exhibited
the best products of the mind and
genius Of the American breeder,
concepts which have been developing
during 20, and in some cases even 30
or 40 years. What privilege it is
to come in contact with these men;
what an inspiration to study the re-
suits of their consistent and united
effort. 1t is no wonder that students
of the agricultural colleges far and
near, with their instructors, flock to
Chicago during the live stock expo
sition. Where else could they hope
to find school exemplifying as this
does all the principles of animal
breeding and nutrition. Yes the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition is
indeed great school. Think of
what it means to the hundreds of
thousands of farmers who annually
visit it and see what their brother
farmers and stockmen have actually
accomplished. Many a man has got
ten his first true conception of what
animal breeding and production
means through visit to the EXPOSE
ton. 1t has thus become a great
vitalizing and inspiring force to the
live stock men of the whole country"

The broken Wire.

Have you never wondered how
when a wire is broken or damaged be-
tween two distant cities the operator.
sitting in his Office, can tell exactly
where the accident has occurredf
The explanation is very simple. 1t
requires force to send electricity
through wire. The longer the wire
Is the greater Is the force required. This
force is measured, but instead Of call
Ing 1t pounds, as in measuring the
pressure in a boiler, electricians call
the units Of electrical force ''ohms."
Suppose a wire between two Offices
is $50 miles long, and that on q stormy
night 1t gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphist knows that when the wire
was sound 1t took just 2,1OO ohms to
send a current through, or IA ohms
per mile. He now finds that he can
send current with only 100 ohms
He divides 700 by IA, and fnds that
the break In the wire Is fifty miles
from his end.

THE "ORlENTAL LIMITED"
Train of the Great Northern Railway
Between ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
Puget Sound Pointe.

This new train has been aptly
named. Travellers of this progressive
age demand the highest degree of
comfort when they are contemplating
to undertake a journey, and especially
a journey of considerable length. In
the placing in service of the "Oriental
Limited, the Great Northern Railway
has achieved q distinctive success in
the excellence, ease and elegance of
this regal train. If man is making
journey for purely business reasons,
he wants comfort. The "Oriental
Limited" lands him at his journeys
end with a pleasant memory lingering
in his mind of the comfort which
has been provided for him. All the
conveniences of a modern, up-to-date
hotel, all the comforts of home, the
privacy of club, are at his command.
Instead of dreading a long journey he
looks forward to it with pleasurable
anticipation. To the tourist the same
applies. The delightful surroundings
of this train, the opportunities for
enjoying the passing scenery enroute
makes the "Oriental Limited" the
train that pleases.

sleep.
Along about this time of year We
hear much talk,
About the well-filled barn and fodder
in the shock:
But there's one subject which all
seem inclined to shirk,
For no one talks about the status of
the turk.
We get statistics on the crops of
grain and hay,
And all the varied fruits that yearly
come our way.
But for some reason all that infor-
nation stops,
Just when we think we learn about the
turkey crop.
How is the turkey crop,
That's what we want to know.
Will it supply demands,
Or make measly show;
Will turks be cheap, or dear,
Will they be thin or fat,
That is the sort of knowledge
We all are trying to get.
We can't immagine why
Such knowledge is denied,
When interest most keen
Is shown on every side.
And therefore just before
We let the subject drop
Again we plainly ask
How is the turkey crop?
