the embalmlng methods OF the present
day are very simple. But where there
are thousands of women who are
anxious to become nurses there are
none who desire to start on this work.
"A woman can show greater
amount OF sympathy for the bereaved
relatives than a man is capable Of
doing.
Tn many ways they seem SO fitted
for the work, and It Is beyond my
comprehension why women don't enter
this profession.
The fact that they do not fear the
presence Of death can be easily proven
by inquiry at the morgue or at any Do.
lice station. More women than men
gather at hese places after some
tragedy.
There are embalming schools In
this city where woman can enter upon
course In this work. but very few
do. Upon graduation they can obtain
work Immediately, and probably get
one or two cases a day at ten dollar
each.

Utica, n Y.-"Jim" Sherman, the
Republican candidate for vice-presi-
dent, is very popular here. So is his
family. He has several brothers and
one Of them Richard W., finished
second term as mayor of Utica last
January The mayor is a Democrat.
So is the whole Sherman family ex-
cepting Jim. He, too, used to be
Democrat but in 1876, shortly after
serving as a Democratic delegate in
the state convention, he became a Re-
publican Ten years later his new
party sent him to congress and he
has been there ever since, except for
the two years 1923, having been one
Of the many who were swamped in the
Democratic tidal wave Of 1890.
Jim" is chairman Of the local ice
trust, and his brother, while mayor,
got after him in warm style, making
sensational charges against the trust.
However. all the Sherman brothers
are the best of friends.
Mr.. Sherman came most widely in
national repute when in 1906 he was
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee in charge of the cam
paign II was in that campaign that
he earned the sobriquet Send Your
Dollar jim" or Dollar Jim" as the
solicitor and recipient Of dollar contri-
buttons, suggested by President Roose-
Welt when SO much was being said in
criticism Of great campaign contribu-
tons by corporations
Sherman had the fight Of his career
in that same campaign to retain his
own seat, for there was strong opposi-
tion organized in his district Samuel
Gompers personally campaigned
against him. Also opposing him were
the anti-organizations Republicans, the
Democrats, united laborites and Inde
pendence leaguers, besides the candi
dates of LESSER parties, and the cam

But Washington will miss Repre-
sentative Gaines. For, in truth, he
was one Of the most popular men on
the Democratic side. Above all will
be missed his annual request for an
appropriation for the care Of the Her
mitage."
John Wesley has filed more pages
OF the Record than any living human
being since the beginning Of the gov
ernment's history. If speech be sill
yer, he has coined more Of it than all
Of the mints since the crime Of 49,.
John Wesley first sprang to fame
when Bob" Taylor was governor Of
Tennessee. One day there came to the
gubernatorial sanctum tall youth
who said
Il am John Wesley Gaines"
Have a chair, Mr. Gaines, said
Bob"
q am Col. Coles son-in-law." i'm
pressiyely added the visitor
Take two chairs, Mr.. Gaines, said
Bob"
Whereupon John Wesley became
famous. He campaigned against ]. R.
McReynolds for congress when that
young scion Of the tennis cabinet
chartered a street car and a brass
band and went out to create a bigger
noise than John Wesley. He didn't,
and Gaines went to congress.
Now cometh young Joe Byrnes to
smite the Goliath Of the Sixth Tennes-
see district. While he may fill the
place with credit, there will be an
aching void Of dense and dignifled
silence where once the corridors Of
the national house rang with the
echoes Of a peoples wrongs.

an inveterate fiction reader. Not that
he has neglected the classics. but he

that he would go to Sherman's home

report ready.
