Odd Feature of a Trial.

A murder trial now in progress In St.
Charles, Mo-, has an odd interstate fea-
ture. Daniel Dempsey. village marshal
of Grafton, Ill, is accused of killing
one Claude Allemang. 1t appears that
Dempsey followed ,Allemang from
Grafton across the river into st.
Charles county and had him arrested.
The prisoner agreed to return without
requisition papers and after starting
back tried to escape. Whereupon Demp-
sey shot him. It is contended that
Dempsey had no authority to shoot
Allemang, being an Illinois officer in
Missouri territory. On the other hand,
it is maintained by Dempsey that Ale
mang lived until he reached Grafton,
III. The question at issue is in which
state the dead mans heart stopped
beating.

Saving for the Wake.

The savory odor of a boiling ham
reached the nostrils of an Irishman as
he lay on his death-bed, and, in spite
of his condition, the thought OF the
unaccustomed delicacy made his
mouth water. Calling his wife to his
bedside he said appea1ingly: :Bridg.

A very mild gentleman stood at the
telephone in Washington during Sec
rotary Hays administration. He had
a message which he wished to deliver
personally to the secretary Of state,
and as he could not reach the depart
ment in time, he went to the phone
and called up the secretarys room.
He was told, as usual, to hold the line,
and very soon voice said: Hello!"
The affair being of a personal ma
ture, he wished to assure himself as
to the person at the other end, and
asked: Who is speaking?''
The reply was SO faint and brief
that it left him still in doubt, and he
said: Il don't catch. it,
Once more the answer was so faint
that he said: Speak louder; don't
catch it,
There was a short pause, then he
received this answer: "Hay! Hay!
Dried grass! Hay! Secretary Hay!
Now do you catch it,"
He caught it.

John c. Calhoun.

JOhn Z. CafhOun.
A thwarted Presidential ambition
which had much to do with bringing
about the civil war was that of John G.
Calhoun. AS purely intellectual guam.
tity John c. Calhoun was the ables
mind which the extreme South pro
duced. He was a son of a Scotch-Irisf
races remarkable aptitude for close
analysis and rigid logic. He had be.
come so much of a leader as to ente,
Monroe's Cabinet in 1917 as Secretary
of War, and showed decided ability in
that position, as he had in all previously
held. People began to talk about him
as suitable Presidential material, and
he entered the race, but Gen. Jackson
proved much the more popular, and
Calhoun was twice elected Vice Presi-
dent on the ticket with Jackson. He
expected to be Jackson's successor, but
Jackson had never liked him, and his
enmity was brought to the breaking
point by the discovery that Calhoun
had sought to have him called to ac-
count for his course in the Seminole
War. Therefore, Jackson determined
upon Martin Van Buren, for his success
sor. and the famous Peggy Eaton cpl
sode was used to force Calhoun out OF
the Cabinet. This destroyed Calhouns
hopes for the Presidency, and he re-
turned to South Carolina in sullen rage,
prepared to fight anything and every
thing which Jackson favored. This led
him to reverse his early position on a
protective tariff, and to assert the right
of the States to nullify any Federal law.
Jackson is said to have expressed re-
greet as death approached that he had
not taken the opportunity to hang Cal

James G. Blaine.
Since the war the candidate who was
most often before the people was James
G. Blaine, of Maine. Like Clay and
Douglas, Blaine had the faculty of
brilliant leadership in the highest de-
gree and attached to himself ardent, en-
thusiastic young men in every section
of the North and West. AS Speaker of
the House of Representatives and as
Senator he kept the eyes of the country
continually fixed upon him. In 1876
! he was prominent candidate before
! the Cincinnati Convention and on the
seventh ballot received 351 votes, or
| more than any other candidate. The
opposition then combined against him
and nominated Gov. Rutherfard B..
Hayes, of Ohio. He was a formidable
candidate again in 1880, but there were
so many elements opposed to him that
finally on the 36th ballot his friends
and those of John Sherman united in
throwing. the nomination to Gen. James
A., Garfield. Again in 1884 he appeared
as candidate. finally receiving the

was claimed that this was due to the
Rev. Mr.. Burchard's unfortunate, but
famous, ALTERATION of Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion. Mr.. Blaine again ap-
peared as a candidate before the Re-
publican Convention of 1888, but his
power had greatly lessened and he was
soon withdrawn in favor of Gen. Ben
jamin Harrison. His hopes were not
entirely extinguished, however. He
resigned from President Harrison's
Cabinet in 1892 to enter the coming
