WHO SHERMAN IS.

Congressman Howell has already cx-
pressed to us his approval Of Sherman
as candidate for the vice presidency.
Having served with him on the com.
mittee on Indian affairs ne has had
excellent opportunity to judge Of his
character and ability and the follow.

was right Is designating him as an
able man, the stun Of which presi.

his nomination. These two factor.

Sherman was born In Utica, Octobe

In 1878. Two years later, he begaI

cent years, supplanting Payne.
Two years ago Sherman took a step !
forward In the national field, when ne |
was chosen chairman OF the republic
can congressional committee. 1t was
at this time that ne acquired one Of
his few nicknhmes, his call for dollar
subscriptions for the campaign fund
earning him the sobriquet OF "Send.
your.dollar.Jlm." The campaign
which ne directed was successful and
added materially 10 his national rep
utstion, similarly Increasing his prom
inence In the local councils Of his par
ty Last spring ne was selected to
preside at the republican state con.
vention In New York'and At that time
It was felt that Sherman was likely to
have prominent position In the NOM
nations this fall. This summer and
at the extra session there was much
private talk about the possibility OF
naming Sherman for governor, In case
, Governor Hughes should decide not to
run again. This talk was mainly
among the cider state leaders. A quiet
boom for Sherman as Senator PIatt's
successor also grew up. -
1.-THE present boom for vice-presi.
dent is the second one that Sherman
has had. In 1900, when he was per.
manent chairman Of the New York
state convention, ne was for number
Of days a close rival q Theodore
Roosevelt. The late Mark Hanna q,
one time regarded the suggestion IA
vorably. Since then Sherman has be

 Tommy worried good deal about the competi- ton during early vacaton-time
 But one day as he lay in the long grass of the orchard, idly watching the green globes and gray green leaves of the sturd old appetrees above him, a bright idea came into his head. He at last how it could be done; he decided upon the sub ect which Miss Sanderson had apparently forgotten to mention, and the very words 1t should contain.
 That night when the chores done, Tommy hunted up sheet of writing paper and his mothers sharpest scissors. His lfand was ever more nimble than his wits and with great neatness and dexterity he drew and erased and clipped away until presently he had pile of little paper letters. During this process he snifed and squirmed and wrigged, after the fashion of active boys when engaged in close piece of work but at last the work was done to his satisfaction and the letters formed into words These he read half aloud to himself. They sounded we'll His teacher would surely be pleased with this composition True. it short, but he decided 1t was as much as he cou reasonably get apple.

 But as the gay throng swept laughing along She returned to her work with ubilant song, And spent the whole day dreaming dreams most
 romantic And building air-castes whose size was gigantic, At humble cottage along the highway, And begged for his horse the scraps of rich dough Which all the fair cooks seemed glad to be-

 But, spite of his courtiers' nudges and wnks Preserved his own counsel close-mouthed as a

 September came. A double of bright-faced, freckled, sunburned boys, spick nd-span in clean sailor waists, stood at the school-house door on opening day.
 The pupils of Miss Sandersons class could easily be detected by the important way each boy carried a roll of neatly tied manuscript.
 Tommy Atkins however, had no roll of paper and no important air. Indeed, it was with feeling. of blank surprise and not little uneasiness that he be- held the aforesaid manuscripts.
 What had he done? What had they done?" he asked himself.

 Then he broke down. for, after all, he only little boy and not a British soldier you might imagine from his name and he had put so much heart into this efforl He did not want the prize so much but he wished to please his teacher. Now he began to see that he must have missed something that his quicker schoolmates had grasped. It seemed as if it were loves labor lost, and Tommy was sorely disappointed.
 The teacher opened the wrapper, and disclosed to the astonished eye of herself and her pupils the most unique composition on apple" ever seen.

"The English is faulty and the spelling poor; but the workmanship is good and your composition is certainly original"
 Tommy breathed again. and went soberly to his seat.
 And when a committee of the teachers read the boys effusions, and compared Tommy originality. panstaking effort and loving heart with sheets of commonplace statements.-such as, An apple IS good to eat" Apples grow trees.' etc. etc-,-it unanimously decided that Tommy Atkins should receive the prize.
