non is rugged" Always genial but,
just the same, there are rough edges
to him that scrape the skin when you
rub too closely. He has always been
extremely kind to the young men OF

1t Is safe to say that of all the Speak
ers OF the House of Representatives
there has never been one more gem
timely loved by everybody than "Old
Joe Cannon" Blaine was more bril-
liant, Randall more suave, Reed more
brainy-perhaps; but Blaine was AFRO
CANT, Randall was not sure, and Reed
unwisely loved an epigram. They made
enemies when it would have been just
as easy to have created enduring
friendships.
In the short list of great Speakers
Of the National House Of Representa-
tives there will undoubtedly be found
the name of Joseph G. Cannon.

a "self-made" man. and good job he
did of it, too.
He clerked in a general" store, a
little crossroads country store, where
everything was kept. from a cambria
needle to horse blanket, until he got
together $500. and that kept him in
law office. where he got 18 months
insight into legal lore. Then he moved
into Douglas County and hung out his
shingle late in 1858. In 1861 he got
into politics as States Attorney for IL
linois, an office which he held for eight
years. Thus 1t will be seen that Mr..
Cannon began to come forward as a
politician coincident with Lincoln.
Here Is a story of the way that Mr..
Cannon first met the great Illinois
commoner, whom he is said In some
ways to resemble:
First Sight OF Lincoln.
Something more than a year after
Mr.. Cannon started as lawyer i'm

Why?
Well. for a whole lot of reasons One
Is that he is so young. He was born
just the other day. May Z, 1886, you
know, aid his 20 years sit as lightly
on his head as so do on the head of
of thousands of other men. And an
other is that though several years old
er than the oldest man who was ever
elected President of the United States.
he may be the standard-bearer of the
Republicans in the next campaign for
but that is another story entirely.
Being only 70 years old, Speaker
Cannon isn't bit ashamed to let peo-
pie know how young he is, and so the
other day his friends gave him a BIRTH
day party. perfectly gorgeous party
1t was, held at the famous Arlington
Hotel, and he got flowers by the car
load, did your Uncle Joseph, just like
any pink-cheeked debutante, and he
was as proud of them as his pretty
little granddaughter will be when she
comes out few years hence. Indeed,
he was. for he said so.
