struggle to make this declaration. AZ
oniy month ago he had announced
mat he would stand for reelection.
Mr.. Alger has been In delicate health
TOT q number Of years, but by careful
watching and nursing he has been able
10 continue In the public service and
perform work calculated to PROSTATE a
mucn stronger man. He has suffered a
great deal from weakness of the heart
and this feature of his physical condi-
ton Is what has compelled him to re-
tire from public life.
Senator Alger in his life and achieve
ments presents to the American youth
an example worthy Of their emula-
ton. He is another Of the scores and
hundreds OF rich and successful Amer
leans who began life as poor boy.
Like most public men he was born on
q farm and ait the age of eleven years
lost both his parents. At that early
age he did farm work, and was farm
laborer for seven years, attending
school In the winter and later teaching
school to secure money to pay for his
education. He studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar, but on the breaking
out of the war, he gave up his profess
sion and entered the army.
Gen. Alger's record in the civil war
is one of the most brilliant ii the vol
unteer service. He served almost four
years and participated IN 66 battles
and skirmishes. He rose from the rank
of captain in the Second Michigan cav
airy to that Of brevet major general OF
the United States volunteers. During
the Spanish war In relating to some
young officers his experience he said
that while colonel Of the Fifth Michi-
gan cavalry he and his command were
overtaken one night by storm and
bivouaced in an open field. They went
to sleep and In the morning when he
awoke he looked out over a field Of
white hummocks, snow, having fallen
during the night which covered his
whole command. while asleep.

from PRESIDENT Roosevelt down, are Qes
termined to do him honor. It was first
thought that a dinner SHOULD be given
in his honor, but since then 1t has
been decided that the affair shall take
the form of splendid reception and a
thousand or more guests will be in
vited to shake the veterans hand and
attest their respect and affection for
him. T...s function will partake to
some degree Of the character OF q po
litical boom for Uncle Joe," as GER
tain of his friends are determined to
put him in the field for the presidential
nomination In 1908.
Among the public men who do not
believe that Mr.. Cannon is too old to
be nominated for president is Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself. The latter re-

iidacy in good part and does not allow
himself to be led away or Influenced
one whit by the complimentary things
said of him. He said the other day
that his great ambition was again to
be speaker Of the house and then re-
tire in favor of some one else. He con-
siders the place he holds as second
only in honor and power to that of the
presidency.
Speaker Cannon says that he has a
great desire to get through with the
work of congress and get out home
among the Danville folk. He is a great
lover of the country and of country
fare. He wants to get out and see the
crops grow, especially the corn. He
holds the record in Washington as an
eater of roasting ears. During their
season they are one Of the staple ar
ticles of food upon Mr.. Cannon's din
ner table. Some of his facetious
friends have suggested that It would
be cheaper for him to live in livery
stable. as he is so fond OF corn.

George Clayton, Who Keeps Matinee
Girls In Good Hunor at 5elaseo
BOX orlce, Goes Behind the
FootIlghts

Not every theater can have an at
tache so versatile as George Clayton OF
the Belasco
Mr.. Clayton Is the very small man
with the very large smile and the
sunny disposition, who usually sits be-
hind the window at the Belasco box
office an dtries to please the whims
OF all the seat seekers. This week
there has been part of the time when
an unfamiliar face has peered from be-
hind the bars but the genial George"
as he is known to everyone, was not far
away.
For the nonce he has turned actor and
he is no less successful behind the
footlights than in the box office.
Mr.. Blackwood was looking around
for man to play the part of Mr..
Ptxton In Jane" and Mr. Clayton
chanced to come within his vision.
"You for that, George" he said, and
"Georgie" was agreeable.
The matinee girls have gotten used
to having their wants attended to by
Mr. Clayton and they have asked often
for him this week. The man behind
the window always assumes a knowing
smile and says. Not here just now"
and the matinee girl Is left in suspense
until the last act.
Delights the Girls
1t is in this act that Mr.. Pixton
makes his first appearance and his
coming furnishes one of the most deli
cious bits of comedy in the entire
piece.
Mrs Pxton is Mary Graham with
lots and lots of extra padding, until
she looks like very big woman indeed.
She wants her baby back from the
couple she has loaned it to and the
couple do not find it convenient to re-
turn the child.
The blk Mrs. Pixton makes strenu-
Gus objections and tells what her hus-
band will do when he arrives. And the
husband-George Clayton is 1t, and he
resembles nothing so much as game
bantam rooster He almost reaches
to the waist of his wife and is COM
pIetely overshadowed by her.
He wears a frock coat, silk hat,
gray side whiskerS and a red necktie.
Quite different person from the one
who sits in the box Office.
He also possesses a cockney accent
that is, to say the least, rich.
Just why Mr.. Clayton does not re-
sign from the box office stand and
permanently become an actor he him
self knows, but then, perhaps it is
best-what would the frequenters of
the Belasco do if there was no George
Clayton to listen to their ticket thoubles
and smooth away the wrinkles.
