 At the conclusion of his term of office as sheriff, three years, he re sumed the practice of law with marked success. In November, 1881, he was nominated as the Democratic candi- date for mayor of Buffalo and was elected by a handsome majority, al though the city was Republican. His service in that office was recognized by his party, when in 1882 he was giv- en the Democratic nomination for gov ernor of New York and was elected by a plurality of 192,S54, his reputa- ton as a reformer being strongly in his favor. His opponent was Charles U. Folger. then secretary of the treas ury under President Arthur.

THE TAIL OF THE ROOSEVELT KITE.

sA-~S- ~% M The following concerning Mir. Sher- man, the republican vice-presidential nominee, is taken from the Denver News:
 The republican candidate for vice president is MT. James Schoolcraft sherman of Utica. N. Y, and the query of today is: Who is Mir. James Schoolcraft Sherman?
 First, then, for a bit of biography. Mir. sherman was born in Utica, N. Y, ffty-three years ago, and has lived there ever since. He is one of the home-staying varity, not so very com mon in America He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1880. Four years later he was chosen may or of Utica but that, as Donavan Pa sha remarked of another misfortune, m. .ght happen to anyone. In 1887 he was elected to congress, and, with the exception of one term, he has been in congress ever since. At pres ent he is president of a trust and de posit company in his home town.
 So much for the outline, the frame work, the drybones, of MT. Sherman's history. And they are very dry bones indeed. No pioneering, no adventure, no wandering. The unsuitable and all but universal American desire to see what is just over the hills seems nev, CT to have touched Mir. Sherman Neither is there a record of any nota, bIe deeds done at home, such as en, IiYen the history of Governor Hughes Mir. sherman has been in congress for nineteen years. Most of that time he has been in the dominant party in @ posit on to make his weight felt -T he had any weight. And now will some friend of 1Ir. James School craft sherman arise III his place and tell Us anything worth while that the yfce-pres. .dentiaI gentleman has evel done? What reform has he cham pioned? What evil has he combat ted? What struggling good has h' helped to victory? What puzzle hal he helped to solve?
 And the answer reads like the nat uraI history of the snakes in Ireland There aren't any.
 NO. In seeking material to fl the outlines of Mr. Sherman's his tory, you will find exceeding little tha seems to mark the gentleman for tn seats of the mighty But the outlin need not lack for fIlling-of sort
 MT. sherman has been a staunc supporter of Joe. Cannon and the 1T terests" which Joe Cannon represent for nineteen years. He has voted fo every thing the interests wanted; h has voted against everything the fl terests' did not want He has hate chauge-and therefore Cannon love him. MT. sherman has been simpi and solely a congressional voting lsa chine, warranted to cast his vote a the bosses desired-and no question asked.
 They tell a story of Mir. shermai which fits so accurately with his owi congressional record that we canno forbear repeating it here. There va B time when Mir. sherman wante something that was not on the siat for him. How such an unholy deslr ever found Judgement in his breas the News is at loss to imagine. Bu it did.

In 1904 seeds were procured from
the agricultural department at Wash

pills, and gardens were planted. Being
inexperienced the children were
easily discouraged, and only the
! bravest continued in spite of difficult
ties. The interest in plant caItiva-

ers of school No. L, and now it is a
common thing for children to bring

At the October meeting of the
Pensacola Teachers association Mr..

Cleveland, Ohio, as an example Of

has perhaps done more active work

Children are instinctively interested
in nature and the impulse to plant

learn the lesson of industry, profit by
contact with nature, and cultivate
that responsibility and self-reliance
that comes from individual work.

community. When he became i'll the
white people employed a nurse and
some Of them took turns in sitting up
with him at night. Every attention
was given him, and he lacked nothing
that would add to his comfort, while
no effort was spared to save his life.
There was genuine grief among all
classes when he died. His funeral
was held yesterday. The members OF
