Old Dobbins was the most con-
trary animal under heaven when
he chose to be, and | think my
readers will fully agree with me
ere this recital of my adventures
is ended.
Be it understood that old Dob
bins, or, as we generally styled
him, old Dobs, was, during week
days, my pillow mule. Quiet and
bidable part of the time, always
ready and never known to kick.
In fact he hadn't energy enough
to kick. He was about three years
my senior and | could boast Of
having seen sixteen summers.
In the spring | would hitch old
Dobs to turning pillow, HE away
to the stubble field and turn the
soil until the sun would smile SO
beamingly from out the deep blue
heavens that the dingy brown hair
of old Dobs would show some
moisture under the collar and
baekband. About this time the
aroma of freshly turned soil would
become wearisome to my olfactory
nerves. Then | would leave old
Dobs and skip nimbly away to
some shady nook and hunt wild
onions or roll my trousers over
my knees and catch minnows, put
ting them in pens built of pebbles
in the edge of the water. | never
gave myself any uneaslness about
old Dobs. He liked standing still
with his nose on level with his
knees, under lip dropped, eyes al
most closed, hind foot resting on
toe and whole demeanor betOklng
sieepiness- as we'll rs | liked play.
But one day, when returning from
fishing excursion, an empty field
"a horizon unbroken by the mel
aneholly and detected looking fig
ure of old Dobs met my startled
gaze. 1t was easy to follow the
trail of the pIow which he drag
ged after him. | found him at the
barnyard gate, with head down
and eyes closed as | had often seen
him in the field, a picture of con
tentment. On being questioned
by my father, | told him | had
gone to the branch for water and
old Dobs had deliberately walked
off. | was reprimanded for my
carelessness but forgot it ere | had
got back to the field.
As | said, old Dobs was my pillow
mule during week days. On Sun
day he was raised to the dignity
of saddle animal, and when |
was astride his back | was as proud
as any captain on his prancing
charger. But, with all his gentle
ness, old Dobs had habit of some
times going on when | wished to
stop, or stopping when wished
to 90 on.

Lamont was then a reporter on the
Albany Argus, which was controlled
by Daniel Manning, and he had little
idea of being anything else for long
time to come. Grover Cleveland had
only limited acquaintance with the
leaders of his party throughout the
state at that time, and though he had
not yet been inaugurated. he was be-

gestions, making all sorts of demands.

nights unpleasant for one with the
little experience in politics that Cleve,

But those letters had to be answer
ed, and as they piled up before him
lay by day, Cleveland saw the neces-
sity of having some one who knew
tatet politics and politicians to help
him out of the muddle He wrote
to Dan Manning and told him of the
