Copyright, 1896, by Frank C. Carpenter)

MANSFIELD, Ohio.
Within the next few weeks two new
biographies of John sherman will be given
to the press So far the only books written
about him are his life by the Rev. DIR.
Bronson. once an Episcopal preacher here
at Mansfield and his own autobiography,
which he penned during his last years,
when his mind had already begun to fail.
Bronson's work was gotten up when Sher-
man was at the height of his presidential
possibilities and it is of little value. The
autobiography, while full of interesting
"reminiscences and political observations.
lacks the strength of Shermans best days
and is. to say the least disappointing.
These two lives which are now to be pub
lished are by men who were closely asso-
ciated with Senator Sherman, who are each
well known as congressman and who have
each spent much time and care in gathering
their material and in putting it into literary
shane one of these lives is by Mr.. Iheo-
dorc f. Burton for the American statesmen
series and the other is by Mr.. Winfield s.
Kerr, in accordance with the directions LETT
in John Sherman's will Mr.. Burton has
been a member of Congress for a dozen odd
years and he was one of Senator Sher-
mans intimate friends. Mr.. Wlnfleld Scout

From The Kansas CITY Star.
The Burlington agent at Tina went rab-
bit hunting recently. He took only
twenty-five shells with him, and after
shooting twenty-four times he had not
killed a single "bunnie." He knew it
would not do to go to town without some
game so he gave a negro boy a nickel for
a live rabbit. He then tied string to the
rabbits leg and tied the other end of the
string to cornstalk. Stepping back about
fifteen feet, he took deliberate aim and
fired the last shell he had. But instead of
hitting the rabbit he cut the string and
the rabbit hoped away, winking at him as
he went
