You could see the perspiration run
ming down little Roberts face. He
could hardly stand the heat. as he
lay on the couch, and said: Il wish
IT were a cold winters day, and
not so hot as this"
"All Of sudden little fairy stood
beside him, and said: you shall
have your wish" Robert did not
think that his wish could come true.
SO he went to the window and look
ed out. and. behold, the streets of
the city were covered with mass
of glittering snow. which kept fall
ing faster and faster. and at last It
began to creep in Roberts window.
Soon Robert himself was covered with
snow until you could only see his
head. Robert was shivering and re
cried for help. but nobody came to
his rescue.
The first thing somebody lifted him
up. He woke. and found himself In
his mothers arms. ut is time for

1908. Mr.. Sherman was a collector Of
money for use in. the fall elections. To
illustrate the extent of his activities In
that position, It is sufficient to quote from
the correspondence made public bySP resi-
dent Roosevelt, a year, ago last April, In
answer to the celebrated letter Mr.. Har-
rimnn had written to Sidney Webster. In
the letter Of Oct. 8. 1906, which the Presi-
saent wrote to Mi: Sherman, occurs this
passage: = 4! { Il
= : - As I am entirely willing
that you should show this letter to e.
II. Hartman, shall begin by repeating
what You told me he said to you on the
occasion last week when you went to, ask
him for = contribution to the campaign
II Mr.. Sherman ever did anything in
public life to attract national attention;
prior TO his nomination to the vice presi-
dency, it was his appeal to Hartman for
campaign funds in 1906, as revealed by
the Presidents letter. Hartman at that
time had not become so notorious and so
obnoxious to the American people as he
became somewhat later, yet his business
character and political standing were as
well understood in the autumn of 1906 by
Republicans like Mr.. Sherman as they
are to-day. Taken In connection with the
campaign fund publicity issue, the Sher.
man nomination seems to be as audacious
we will not say insolent-a perform
ance as the Republican party in these
later years Of its history has been guilty
of. The party was primarily responsible
for the failure of Congress at the last
session to enact apublicity law; the par
" convention this week has defeated d
publicity plank by $50 to "a; and Its
record now culminates in the nomination
for the vice presidency Of a man who less
than two years ago went hat in hand, to

sinister creatures money to help elect
