torney. The only places where one
could get a drink In his county were
under the cover saloons that were call
ed "blind pigs" McCamber found a
prohibition law on the statute books,
and he enforced it right up to the limit.
He went for the keepers of the blind
pigs tooth and nail, and he was such
a good prosecutor that he secured their
conviction in punches.
There was no way TO stop him until
he came up as a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Then all the liquor dealers II
their friends turned In and beat him at
the polls. Later there was a big row
on between the two Republican fac
tions at Bismarck when the legislature
met. They could not agree on a candi-
date, and 1t looked as II a fusion sena-
tor would be sent TO Washington. Then
a shrewd politician suggested McCum-
Der as a compromise candidate. The
idea took. as he was not identified with
either faction. and he vas sent to the
senate.

WAN. II, 17OG, was a red let
ter day in the history Of the
United States, for that day wit
messed the birth of Benjamin
franklin, printer. scientist. philosopher
ana statesman. The bicentenary OF
Franklin's birth will be celebrated in
many parts Of the world. In Paris,
where he represented the colonies dur
ing the Revolutionary struggle, the day
will be fttingly observed. and in con-
nection with the exercises a statue OF
Franklin by the American sculptor,
John J. Boyle, will be unveiled near
the house in Passy where he lived
when the minister of the young repub-
lie to France. In Boston, where he
was born; in New York, where he fail
ed to find employment, and in Phila-
delphia, with which his career Is chief
ly identified, there will also be ceremo-
mics in recognition of the significance
of the day. In the famous city whose
name signifies that in which Franklin
firmly believed-brotherly love-the
most elaborate of these exercises will
be held. They will be under the direc-
ton OF the American Philosophical so
ciety, which Franklin himself founded
in 1744, and both the state and the fed
eral government will take part In
them.
franklin was one of seventeen chill
dren. and his father, a Boston tallow
maker, was not blessed with wealth,
so that he did not have any special ad-
vantages of birth. He had few oppor-
tunities as a boy to excel in scholar
ship. for he had only two years school
ing and then went to work to help his
parent in molding candles. 1t was an
eventful day for the printing trade and
journalism when the young Franklin
was released from making candles and
set to printing as an apprentice TO his
brother James. This brother owned a
newspaper, and the boy Ben got some
experience In helping him run it. but
he and James did not get along very
well, and the boy started out to seek
his fortune. Landing in New York. he

the strongest golfers in the navy. and
eight huge wire hawsers and twelve
thick manila hawsers will be used In
making connection between the dock
and the towing vessels. The hawsers
weigh about a hundred tons and cost
$4,000.
The Dewey is 500 feet long by "a feet
wide and 60 feet high, Is of steel and
weighs about II, 600 tons. The route Is
by way Of the Suez canal, and the
Dewey, IL she gets through. will be the
largest structure which ever passed
through that waterway. There will be
q tight squeeze in pulling 1t through. as
the dock is almost as wide as the canal
itself. The trip will be a slow one and
will consume from five to six months.
but no special obstacles to progress are
expected unless typhoons are encoun-
tered. In that case the dock might get
away from the colllers, and the conse-
ouences would then be serious.

STATUE OF FRANKLIN IN NEW r
sought for employment, but without
success, and, journeying ON, reached
Philadelphia with but a dollar in his
pocket. But success crowned his ca.
reer in Philadelphia ere many years
had fed. One of his most successful
as well as famous enterprises was the
Poor Richards Almanac" the first
number of which he published when he
was twenty-slx and which at once be-
came popular. He continued publish
ing this almanac for twenty-five years.
1t was translated into all the languages
of Europe, and its quaint sayings have
become household words. For many
years he published the Philadelphia
Gazette. He organized the first pub
lie library in Philadelphia and estab-
lished the academy which has devel.
oped into the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The art of printing is in his
debt to an Unreasonable degree.
In 174S Franklin sold his paper, his
almanac and his printing plant. He
was then only forty-two, but he had
accumulated what in those days was
considered a fortune, and as the af-
fairs Of his countrymen demanded his
attention he determined to have nc
impediments in the way Of his render
ing jealous public service. For a pc
riod of over forty years thereafter be
was almost continuously occupied In
the cause of his country. Prior to the
Revolution he represented the interests
of his colony of Pennsylvania and
sometimes other colonies at the British
court; he participated in the drawing
up of the Declaration of Independence
of which he was n Of the signers,
and be spent some of the most impor-
tant years of his life pleading the cause
of the colonies at the court of France.
With what success he pleaded is
known 10 all. His inventions and dis
coveries gave him a high place in the
world Of science and learning. and he
is recognized today as the father OF
electrical science. He might have made
a great deal of wealth out of his In
ventions, but he did not worship the
almighty dollar and valued money
only as it contributed to the enjoyment
of comforts and refinements. Though
so versatile and accomplished. he was
content to be known simply as a print
or. and when he died in 1870 the fol
lowing epitaph, which he wrote him
self, was placed upon his tombstone:
