disputes. MIR. NauholE has been

afternoon Nauholz secured q number
OF dodgers and had them distributed

story told by Nauholz, the boy and
other parties, the boy performed the
duty Of distributing the bills, placing

COYOTE CHASES DEER
Exciting Race on the Ice Of
FePnan Lake.

FePnan Lake.
A coyote and wild deer furnished
an amusing spectacle for the mem en-
ployed by the Fernan Lake Ice & Fuel
company cutting ice on Fernan lake,
Saturday afternoon about four
O'Clock.
The men were busy at work when
from the upper end OF the lake came
the cry of coyote on the trail Of a
deer. The race waxed warm and the
men forgot about work and troubles
and watched the chase which was one
of life or death, the deer being al
most exhausted, clinging to the clear
space on the center of the lake.
Straight for the men at work the deer
ran and passed within a short dis
tance of them. With hooting and
yelling the men succeeded in driving
of the coyote and the deer paused for
about five minutes to regain breath
and watch its rescuers. It then
disappeared over the hills.
This is one Of the few instances where
coyote has been seen chasing any
living animal and hunger must have
driven this one to it.

scribed as "a constructive reformer." He
bulls up. but does not tear down. He
tries to promote the interests of the cor
porations and the public at the same time,
as is illustrated in his public utilities act,
which was intended as much for the pro-
lection of the railways as of their patrons.
He secured the enactment of this law.
which gives the commission the power to
fix rates for passenger and freight traf-
f1c, and vetoed a two-hent fare law. He
believes a two-cent rate is unreasonable
and unjust to the railway companies. He
has a theory that a railway company has
rights that the public is bound to respect,
and has no patience with dema gogueS or
"hold-up" legislation. He has broken up
and driven out the lobby from the corri-
doris of the state house without saying
anything about it. Gov. Folk of Missouri
announced with a flourish of trumpets
that he intended to drive the lobby from
the capitol Of his state, but it is still there,
and is believed to be quite as influential
as ever. Gov. Folk might learn something
of Importance by studying the policy and
the methods of his compeer who does not
talk, but acts.
In appearance Gov. Hughes is tall
rather slender. and shows great nervous
energy. He dresses modestly. but accord
ing to the mode. He greets a caller with
a pleasant smile, firm clasp of the hand
and a cordial word. and then listens at
tentively to whatever is said to him. He
replies with candor and exactness. and
can say No as promptly as Grover
Cleveland.

gan he had an instrument sent to his
house. took 1t apart. put 1t together again.
and learned by practical inspection the
technicalities of construction.
BY the application of these same
methods in the investigation of the state
institutions he has familiarized himself
with every detail, and is therefore able to
go before the appropriations committees
and tell how much money is needed, what
it Is needed for and why 1t should be ex-
pended.
The governor is man of method and
system and order, and that is one reason
why he is able to accomplish so much.
When he was five years old he prepared a
memorandum entitled Charles E.
Hughes Plan of Study" in which he
divided the days into hours and assigned
each hour to particular purpose. He
has carried that rule with him through
out his life, and attributes much of his
success to its observance.
He has an extraordinary memory,
which was displayed during the insurance
investigation, when he conducted the ex-
animation of witnesses almost entirely
without notes. Between sessions he in
formed himself on the subjects concerning
which he intended to draw out evidence,
and was able to retain the points in his
mind without making memoranda. He Is
equally remarkable as mathematician,
and would have made successful ac-
countant If ne had turned his attention
that way. This talent enables him to
understand the most complicated &C.
counts. which would, puzzle an ordinary
lawyer. and he displayed it in the legis-
lative investigations which he conducted
into the affairs of the gas companies and
insurance companies of New York.

he belongs to a number of clubs in New

one of the veteran newspaper men at
Albany remarked, He never shoots off
his mouth The correspondents who
come into contact with him every day

Albany a stranger. but has won the re-

city by her charming personality, her tact
and her modest dignity.
Gov. Hughes ability as a lawyer was
abundantly demonstrated by his conduct
of the investigation into the affairs of the
gas companies and the insurance COM
panies, and by his conduct of important
legislation before he came to Albany. and

Some people have honors thrust upon
them, and that is the case with Gov.
Hughes. He did not want to be governor
of the state. He was nominated against
his will and accepted from a sense of
duty. If he is nominated for President
it will be in the same way. and he will
accept for the same reasons. His am
bition does not lie along political or Of
fetal lines. He would rather be recog-
nized as the head of the New York bar
than be President of the United States,
not because he does not appreciate the
