still harder task. Mr.. Chanler belongs
to the last named class.
He is a lawyer; but, like the boy
whose father was a Christian, he Is
not working at 1t now. In fact, he
never did make much in the practice.
Having a steady income Of his own,
he didn't need the money. It is said
that his Office went without q chair
some time for the reason that Mrs.
Chanler stipulated that he could not
buy a chair until he did it with none
he collected In fees.
How His Practice Grew.
But he did come in time to q large
practice. It was this way: Whenever
he saw any deserving person or any
person be imagined deserving who
needed a lawyer and had NO money
Chanler would undertake the case for
nothing. This course gained him the
good VIII Of the people and the Ill will
Of his brother attorneys. One dubbed
him the poor mans lawyer and the
other "a crank"
Every mar who aspires to the presi-
dency has to be compared to Lincoln
IN some way or another. If It is not
the cut Of his whiskers, it is his stories
or his LONELINESS. Chanler has some
faint resemblance to the great eman-
cipator in at least two particulars. One
is that he is very tall, and the other is
that he refused to take cases when
convinced that his client was wrong.
he Is known to have thrown up at
least one case, and one involving a
good fee at that, when he learned that
his man was guilty.
Mr.. Chanler, in addition to graduating
from Columbia Law school, took a
course In international law in Cam.

reason that he wished to keep his citi-

The lieutenant governor is not more
Interesting than are his brothers.
There are three of these. and each has
idiosyncrasies that have made some
thing of a mark in the world. Perhaps
the most noted is William Astor Chan
Ter, who once made all kinds of geo.
graphical and geological discoveries in
Africa. which gained him membership
In foreign scientific societies and
caused several new kinds Of bugs to be
named for him. He then came home
and went into Tammany Hall politics,
that being the nearest thing to the jun
gle life he had been leading. He ran
for congress and beat the redoubtable
Lemuel Ely Quigg. later known to
fame as "Ryan's yellow dog" I do
not remember whether or not It was
this defeat which caused Quigg to be
embalmed tn verse: but, at any rate, 1t
was at about this time. The verse ran
something like this:
II I were Lemuel Ely Quisg,
Lem Ely Quigg,
Lem Ely Quigg;
II I were Lemuel Ely Quig4.
I'll tell you what Id do.
I'd jump into a woodchuck hole.
An auger hole.
A gimlet hole;
I'd jump into q gimlet hole
And pull the hole In too.
Another Of the Chanler brothers Is
John Armstrong, whose chief title to
distinction is that be was the one time
husband Of Amelie Rives. the novelist.
Brother Bob," the Giant Sheriff.
BY far the most interesting member
of the Chanler family, however, Is
Robert W., otherwise known as Broth
er Bob" He is six feet three and a
half inches tall, and every inch Of him
Is alive. He studied art for many
years in Paris and painted a picture
which was hung In the Paris salon.
Brother Bob is now sheriff Of
Duchess county, and the manner Of his
election should show the politicians a
few new ways to play the game. He
owned a stock farm, and on it were
q famous blooded stallion and a bull
Of long pedigree. From these he al
lowed the farmers Of the county to
breed free Of charge. That county is
now filled with blooded stock. and
Chanler is sheriff. having been elected
by an enormous majority. although the
county is overwhelmingly Republican.
"MaEe people happy IS Sheriff Chan
ler's creed. AS he Is Of the type Of
men who do things. the amount of
happiness he has spread about him has
become proverbial in the vicinity of
Barrytown, nea which the Chanler
homestead is situated. Notwithstand-
Ing his great wealth, Brother Bob
lives In On old farmhouse and usually
wears cheap hand-me-down clothes.
Recently, when Governor Hughes
was out Of the state, New York had q
Democratic governor for the first time
In long. hungry years. Lieutenant
Governor Chanler held down the chair
of state for twenty-four hours. When
asked how it felt to be governor Of the
Empire State he replied:
"About all I have done is to work
the long distance telephone in an eff.
fort to get Sheriff Chanler of Duchess
