One OF the Most Prominent Republicans in
Northern Ohio, Against Herrick.
AN HONOR TO VOTE FOR PATTISON.
Says He Has Known Him for Thirty Years and There
Is sNothing of "the crank in His Makeup.

One of the most prominent Re-
publicans in Ohio to declare for
John M. Pattison for Governor is
Capt. W. W. Peabody former Vice
President of the B. -& o. S.-W.
Railroad.
He said: ''I have always been
Republican on national matters
but will deem it an honor as
well as pleasure to vote for
John M. Pattison for Governor.
I have known him for 80 years
and there is nothing of the crank
or faddist In his make up. When
he was in the Legislature and in
Congress no one ever entertained
the idea of approaching him for a
sinister purpose.
"The more / ponder ON existing
conditions the more / am convin-
ced that Pattison ls the man for
the times. I have talked with
many of my Republican friends up
the State, and ] find that the
leaven is working.
"There will be declaration
of Independence in November.
President Roosevelt was elected
by the people Of both parties, be-
cause they believed him honest.

energetic and courageous, and a
man who would give us clean
national administration. The
time has come for Ohio TO attend
to it's own affairs in like manner.
The time has come for action and
for the assertion of Independent
American manhood and citizen
ship"
F. G. Brier, a travelling man at
the Honing tells of the great re.
volt in Ohio against Herickism
and Coxism. He says he traveld
500 miles to vote for Herrick two
years ago, but this year he will
vote for, Pattison.
81 am tired and disgusted with
the machine politics, bossIsm and
grating that is going on. 1t
will be the best lesson the Repub-
lican party ever if it is licked at
this election, and I say 1t as a
loyal Republican," declares Brier.
G. F. Young, prominent Z Re-
publican / and tobacco dealer of
Ripley, at the Grand said Wednes-
day that Pattison will carry his
county by from 1900 to 5000.
Hundreds of Republicans
will vote for him, myself among
the number" says Young.

Answer,na AbernethY.

Although one OF the main charac-
tsristics Of the famous DR.. Aber-
nethy was the readiness with which
he could administer a sharp and
witty retort when occasion arose, he
was once considerably nonplused
by the remark of medical student.
"What would you do" the doctor
asked the student at an examina-
tion, eff man was placed in your
hands with broken leg2"
"Set 1t, sir" was the reply.
"Good, very good. You are a
witty young man, and doubtless
you can tell me what muscles of the

AS is generally known, the late
Joseph Jefferson and ex-President
Cleveland were boon companions.
Shortly after Cleveland was elected
president the second time a friend
of Mr.. Jefferson met him and said,

"Where in the world did you
hear that?" was the response. 81

say anything about it?"
"Yes," his friend replied. "They

His sister began it. That is to say,
Miss Storm was the sole cause of all
that happened.
1T was this way-Miss Storm, who
is an American from Los Angeles,
California, was travelling in Switzer-
and. Nothing of particular interest
happened until one day she paused be-
ioro a shop window. 1t was a very
attractive window, filled from floor

cards. And Miss Storm wanted a

card she sought. A pretty Swiss girl,
attired in the q~uaintest dress imagin-
able, smiled brightly from it. Surely
that would please her brother?
Satisfied at last, she entered the
shop, bought the little Swiss maid,
wrote quite a lot on the back space
for news. That is to say, she wrote:
Having a splendid time. Quite we'll.
Hope you are. Have no time for
more" And then Your loving sis
ter That done, she posted the card.
Quite a budget of letters arrived by
mail for John Storm. He read them
all before he came to the last-a pic
ture postcard. Taking it up, he gazed
at it for five minutes before remem-
bering hat it brought news from his
sister. Having read the brief mes
sage. he nee more became absorbed
in the pretty girl, smiling on him from
her slender perch on a rock.
All through the morning her face
haunted him as no face that he re-
membered had ever done. He tried to
blot her vision from his mind. But
the more he tried the more he thought
of her.
A week later he stood on board a
Europe-bound steamer, his destination
Switzerland, the cause, the girl in
the picture postcard.
At last the boat arrived, and at
last the train steamed into Berne.
The first week he visited the publish
ers of the postcard, and endeavoref
to find from them the photograph
from which the postcard was repro
duced.
The search proved more difficult
than he imagined.
At last success came. He discoy.

made the picture. From him he
learnt that the girl was working in
Bulle, a small town, 20 miles south of
