HOW HUGHES WON.

Writing in Eyeryhody's for March
Ernan j. Ridgway speaks OF the
measures which brought the governor
Of New York before the people of his
state as statesman. He says
The insurance investigation gave
the governor national reputation.
Tho two things that gave him ma,
tional reputation and lifted him into
the statesman class, and emphasized
his presidential availability, were his
veto OF the two-cent fare bill. and his
drafting the Public Utilities Bill and
and approving it when passed Thn
legislatures of many states were max
ing laws limiting passenger fares to
two cents mile nthe theory that
two cents mile gave the railroads
abundant profits, while higher rate
than two cents a mile was an i'm
position on the public. The measures
were very popular with the voters.
The Now York legislature passed
such law and just when the voters
and newspapers We're ready 10 throw
up their hats and hurrah for the meas
ure, 10. the governor vetoed 1t. Do
you see the picture? The first
thought, OF course, is: He has sold

ing a corporation lawyer governor
Rut watt has reasons. real ones
He says he doesn't know whether two
cents a mile Is enough for the rail

skRlmLEYs ONE QUEER TRAIT.
Pink of Neatness in Every Other Way,
He Never Brushes His Hat.

Il suppose" said Mr. MacBlink,
that we all have our little peculiari-
lies, but some of them do seem queer.
You take, for instance, the one ocd
thing about my friend Skrimley.
Now, Skrimley is a man very scru-
pnlcus in all the ways Of personal
cleanliness. daily bath, constant fresh
linen, clothes always n perfect order
and always brushed, and his shoes al
ways cared for in like manner: bit
he never brushes his hat, and that
have never been able to account for.
Anybody that didn't know Skrim-
ley that saw him going around with
that hat of his ali covered with dust
would think he was. so to speak,
dusty all over and all through. a man
in every way careless about his per
son; but the facts are as have
stated them, he is actually the very
opposite OF personal dustiuess, in
everything but his hat
Somehow he doesn't seem to care
how that looks and when he comes
to that he just lets It go. Just why
he does this don't know; I suppose
It's Just Skrimleys little peculiarly"
