devotion to her country in so many
ways that her choice as president Of

pecially fitting. The widow of General
Logan Is widely known and loved.
Mrs. Logan, now white haired and
stately in appearance. is a woman of
many accomplishments and great tact.
A story told of the Blaine and Logan
campaign Of 1884 illustrates how the
clever wife sometimes saved her bluff
and impulsive spouse from mistakes.
At Cincinnati Blaine had been accorded
a great ovation, but through some
oversight when Logan arrived a little
later not a soul extended to him the
freedom of the city. The general re.
sented it and in a conversation with a
reporter intimated strongly that Mr..
Blaine had had something to do with
the incident. When the newspaper
man took his departure Mrs. Logan fol-
lowed him into the hall. She said:
"The general was indiscreet In say
ing a great many things that would
not look we'll in print. Promise me
you will make no use Of them tomor-
row." The reporter protested. He had
been sent for the interview and could
not afford to disobey his instructions,
but Mrs. Logan placed her hand on his
arm in Il motherly fashion and again
entreated him. II am very ANXIOUS"
said she, that the Republican ticket
should be elected this fall. What the
general has said would create a serious
division within the Republican ranks.
l know the nature Of the sacrifice l am
asking. We have a great many friends
among the newspaper men at Wash
ington, and If the time eve comes
when General Logan can do as much

The reporter gave the promise. Not a

and reported by Consul Masterson OF
Alden. The paper reports twelve cases
Of snake bite in which this new reme-
Gy was put into practice. In two cases
it failed. but these were the cases in
which the longest interval had elapsed
before the remedy was applied. The
persons were bitten during the night
and were not treated till the follow
ing day, the interval in one case
amounting to eleven hours and in the
other to nine hours. In seven OF the
successful cases the snake was killed
and identified, in five cases it was Il
cobra and in the other two it was a
viper.
"Of the two fatal cases one was bit
ten by Il cobra, the other by Il snake
that was not identified. Two of the
successful cases were treated by Euro
peans without any medical training.
In three OF the successful cases treat
ment was begun at once in the remain

an hour to four hours. These results
show that even when all the doubtful
