again arrived at Beirut, Syria, 1880
miles. He reembarked within a few
days for Rio Janeiro, Brazil. 7,425
miles away. His intention was to
enter the states at a gulf port, not
daring to trust himself again to the
immigration officials OF the larger
eastern cities.
While in Brazil he reached the con-
clusion that it would be better had he
started originally Cor Canada. At the
first opportunity he embarked on a
vessel for Colon, whence he crossed
the isthmus of Panama. 1t required
several weeks waiting before he 4nal-
ly embarked on sailing vessel for
Victoria, b. c. He arrived early in
May at British Columbia, he had add

In June he journeyed from Victoria
to Montreal. 2.29l miles. He then de-
termned upon final cast and headed
for the United States At this point
he had no trouble in crossing the line
from Canada and made 335 miles from
Montreal TO Boston. The night he ar
rived in that city he covered the final
100 odd miles still separating him and
his little girl.

CHAPTER II,
at the Court of a Sovereign

At the Court of Sovereign.
That evening after supper 1 went
to see Dominick.
In the lower end Of Pulaski there
was a large beer garden known as
Dominick's headquarters. He re-
ceived half the profits in return for
making it his loafng place, the seat
of the source of all political honor.
preferment and privilege in the
Third, Sixth and Seventh congression-
al districts. 1 found him enthroned
at the end of long table in the far
thest corner of the garden. On one
side of him sat James Spencer, judge
OF the circuit court-"Dominick
Judge" on the other side Henry De
Forest, principal owner of the Pulas-
ki Gas and Street Railway company.
There were several minor celebrities
in politics, the law and business
down either side of the table. then

rose, and said to the others generally:
Come on, boys, let's adjourn to the
next table. Mr.. Dominick wants to
talk to this young fellow"
I knew something OF politics, but I
was not prepared to see that distin-
guished company rise, and, with not
shadow OF resentment on any mans
face, with only a respectful, envious
glance at me, who was to deprive
them Of sunshine for a few minutes,
remove themselves and their glasses
TO another table. When l knew Dom
mick better, and other bosses in this
republic OF ours, knew that the boss
is never above the weakness of the

court etiquette. My own lack of this
weakness has been a mistake which
might have been serious had nv DO

My father was defeated. He saw
that, in politics, the day of the public
servant of public interests was over.
and that the night of the private
servant of private interests had be-
gun. He resigned his leadership into
the dextrous hands of a politician.
Soon afterward he died, muttering:
Prosperity has ruined my country"
From that election day my inter

mothers bitter prejudice l should have

Pulaski, indeed all that section Of
my state, was strong of my party.
Therefore Dominick, its local boss,
was absolute. At the last county
election, four years before the time
of which EN- writing, there had been
a spasmodic attempt to GUST him. He
had grown so insolent, and had put
his prices for political and political
commercial "favors" to our leading
citizens so high, that the best ele-
ment" in our party reluctantly broke
from it's allegiance. To save himself
he had been forced to order fragrant
cheating on the tally sheets; his ally
and fellow conspirator, M'Coskrey,
the opposition boss, was caught and
was indicted by the grand fury. The
reformers made such a stir that Ben
Cass, the county prosecutor, though
Dominick man, disobeyed his mas
ter and tried and convicted MCosk-
rery. Of course, following the Gus
tom in cases of yielding to pressure
from public sentiment, he made the
| trial-errors necessary to insure re-
versal in the higher court; aad he
finally gave Dominick's judge the OPP
! portunity to quash the Indictment
But the boss was relentless-Cass
had been disobedient, and had put
upon my friend MCoskrey" the dis
grace of making a sorry figure in
court. Ben can look to his swell
reform friends for denomination, .
said he; he'll not get it from me. .
Thus it came to pass that Domin-
ick's Lieutenant, Buck Fessenden, ap-
! peared in my Office enc afternoon in
July, and, after a brief parley, asked
ne how I'd like to be prosecuting at
torney Of Jackson county. -Four
thousand a year for four years, and
a reelection if l should give satisfac
ton; and afterward, the bench or g
seat in congressr I could pay OF
everything; l could marry!
1t was my first distinct vision oil
the plum tree. To how many thou
sands of our brightest, most promis
ing young Americans it is shown
each year in just such circumstances.
