The amount OF sightseeing permitted

Gradually this was prevented but

 Youngstown, O., Sept 5.-In the pres. ence of thousands of spectators gath cred from nearby cities and towns as we'll as the greater part of the inhabit- ants of this place the Republican cam paign in Ohio was opened here today with addresses by Governor Hughes of New York, Governor Harris of Ohio and Senator Beveridge of Indiana.

It was preceded by monster parade, 10000 men being in line. The march CTS comprised clubs gathered from Ohio towns, with delegations from western Pennsylvania and some from New York.

Walking Sticks.

The sixteenth century is that lE which the walking stick became not merely useful implement, but an ar ticle of fashion, dignity and luxury. In the seventeenth century 1t was gold headed and made of rare woods. It was a sign of leadership. 4
 For long period there was little variety among Englishmen in the ma. terial used for the majority of walking sticks. The ''oaken towel" as 1t was pleasantly termed when an enemy was to be rubbed down." shared popular ity with the crab tree cudgel, which, among rural folk especially, was much valued and classic from the conflict in "Hudibras." when
 With many a stiff thwack, many a bang, Hard crab tree on old iron rang.
 Classic, too, is that stout oaken stick which sturdy Dr. Johnson, who, like Knox. never feared the face of living man." provided himself with when he went to the pit of the little theater in the Haymarket in full view of Foote, who had announced his intention of taking him of" on the stage. an in- tention which in view of the stick he did not carry into effect--Gentleman's Magazine.

He Told the Lawyer.

I
 Lawyer S. Is well known for his un. comely habits. He cuts his hair about four times a year and the rest of the time looks decidedly ragged about the ears. He was making a witness de- scribe a barn which figured in his last case.
 How long had the barn been built?"
 "Oh, I don't know-about a year mebby, about nine months p'r'aps."
 But just how long? Tell the jury how long it had been built"
 "Well, I don't know exactly-quite awhile"
 ."Now, MT. B., you pass for an intel- ligent farmer, and yet you can't tell me how old this barn is, and you have lived on the next farm for ten years. Can you tell me how old your own barn is? Come, now, tell us how old your own house is, if you think you know"
 Quick as lightning the old farmer replied:
 'You want to know how old my house is. do ye? We'll, it's just about as old as you be, and the roof needs seeing to about as bad"
 In the roar that followed the witness stepped down. and Lawyer s. didn't call him back.-London Globe.

An AcceptabIe Clock,

A well known professor sometimes became so much interested in his lee ture that when the noon bell rang he kept the class five or ten minutes over the hour. Certain restless spirits among the students thought they would give him gentle hint, so they bought an alarm clock, set 1t to go off precise ly at noon and placed 1t on the profess or's desk when they came in to the next lecture. They knew that he was a little absentminded and expected that he would not notice it. AS the noon hour struck the alarm went off with a crash, and those of the class not in the secret started and took in the joke at once. There was round of applause. The professor waited un- til the alarm and the applause were over and then said: Young gentle men, thank you for this little gift. I had forgotten it was my birthday. An alarm clock is something my wife has needed for our servant for some time. It is very kind remembrance on your part" The professor then went on to finish a demonstration interrupted by the alarm.-London Tit Bits.

Names In Alaska.

Life in Alaska is uncouth in parts, but it has its refnements In Valdes there lived man named Jake, who kept boarding house for dogs. When the prospectors returned from their sled trips they would place their teams in his charge until ready to start out again. AS he fed his guests on gar bage gathered by house to house can vass. he was known by every one as "Slop Jake"
 Once upon time he fell i'll, and the newspaper wished to chronicle the fact. No one. however, knew Jake's other name, and it didn't seem worth while to waste the time of the editorial staff on so insignificant detail. So the news was printed thus:
 "Our well known fellow citizen. S. Jake, is confined to his house with a severe cold. It is hoped he will be out soon." ."-New York Times.

EooIino the Beans,

A Yankee of the quaint old time type was preparing to bestow a coat of whitewash on his henhouse one spring long ago. He had completed the mix ing of the whitewash, a writer in the Manchester Union says, and, looking round for something on which to try 1t, picked up a bean pole and ran the brush over it. Another local character, who was driving by, stopped his horse and called out: Hello! What ye white washing your bean poles forT'
 Thought everybody knew that beans grow better on birch poles," returned the other without pausing in his work.
 "Ye don't expect to make birch poles that way, do ye?"
 "Mebbe not. but whitening of 'em Il make the beans think the poles are birch anyhow"

 Speeches by Two Governors.
 When Senator Beveridge rose to speak he was greeted with a cheer from the assemblage. The Hoosier statesman was in fine form and deliv- cred his address with the gestures and manners that have marked his speech es in the senate. He spoke in part as follows:
 Today in the American peoples mighty moral advance, thus far sue cessfully led by Theodore Roosevelt the gravest question is whether we shall place our commanders standard in the hands of his most trusted cap tain, who will lead us sa eely and sure. ly along the well mar.:ed course we are following, or in the hands of those who will lead us on zigzag marches after rash adventures until the whole movement dissolves In the peoples dis gust and the worlds ridicule.
 By their fruits ye shall know them" Seven years ago we started upon the great work of modern and humane legislation that has made the Roosevelt period historic. In those years we passed. the railroad rate bill, which for the first time in American history asserts the principle that the government of all the people can and will regulate those who carry the prod ucts of all the people. We passed the meat inspection and pure food laws, which ended the sale or poisoned foods and adulterated drugs; the irrigation law, which is making fertile the arid west and will build within our own continental boundaries a new empire of productive wealth.

 Campaign Of candidatss.
 This is campaign of candidates even more than of platforms. The ques. ton Is not which candidate is most upright, patriotic, brave. for both are equally so. Both mean equally well toward their country. The real question is which candidate will make the best president? Which is the wisest and steadicst? Which man would you choose as administrator of your es- tate? Which would you select to man. age your business? Which has the best training and the most experience?
 In domestic affairs Mfr. Bryan has written not one law. administered not a single department, advised no presi. dent-while lecturlng all. He Is . preacher of righteousness, but not an administrator of affairs. He never conducted the government of a city, . county, state or nation. William H. Taft has been judge on the bench, governor of people, administrator of department. His hand has helped to shape most of the progressive laws we have passed in the last seven years, and his great heart and splendid mind are behind every law we propose today. The sought for counselor of three presidents-as different yet as wise as Harrison, Mckinley and Roosevelt--Fate has equipped him to be the trusted leader of the people who loved and honored these three chief magistrates. Almost it seems that here is man prepared by Provi- dence to be the captain of this chosen people.
 Calls Bryan Talker, Not Doer.
 Let no man denounce MT. Bryan. Such men are necessary to human progress. Always such men have been the voice of protest, but never the statesmen of a cause. Always they have been the urgers of reform, but never the doers of the work.
 Mir. Bryan is an Aaron, but not a Moses; Henry, but not Washing ton; Wendell Phillips, but not an Abraham Lincoln. He is the storm of unrest which clears the atmosphere, but not the trade winds that carry to port the freighted ships of peoples hope.
 Four years ago, in his own home. paying tribute to his character and mind, 1 called him dreamer who be- holds happy visions, but achieves 10 useful deed. His is the mind that thinks of the barren field bending with grain, but his is not the plowmans hand, the sower's craft or the glean- CTS husbandry.
 William H. Taft is of the Pilgrim stuff. His is the wisdom that makes the ideal vision a living fact. Tried in every realm of government, tested in every department of statesmanshiD,
