He was q gool little boy and
very thoughtful. He bad heard
about the great scarcity of water
throughout .the,country. He came
TO his mother and slipped his
handsinto hers, says The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. "Mamma, Z"
he said, "is it true that in some
places the little boys and girls
have scarcely enough water to
drink?" "That is what the pa.
pers say, my dear" "Mamma,"
he presently said, "l'd like to
give up somethin' for those poor
little boys aud girls" His moth

confidential messenger of the
Standard OIL company, accord
ing to an article in a publication
for October Oath.
The negro and the white man
are Said to have made a trifle
moro than $4,000 out o. the
transaction. The white man,
in his interview with the writer,
hints that the best of the letters
are yet to be used, and these
which have been held in reserve
had to do with Senator Aldrich
and Senator Peurose.
The articles were written by
Arthur. III. Gleason. One Of the
men who, according to Mr.. G'ea
sons story got the letters for Mr..
Hearst, ia William W. Winfield,
colored, formerly Gle clerk, mes
senger and door tender in Mr..
Archbold's office, and stepson OF
Mr.. Archbold's negro butler,
James N. Wilkins, who has been
in Mr.. Archbold's family for 20
years. Winfield had been in
the Standard Oil Office years,
when he was dropped in 1905.
The other man was Charles
Stump, white, in the Standard
Oil office tor six years, when he,
too, was dropped in 1905 Win

the brains of the combination
while Stump was merely used
by him as a white go-between 10

The white man and the negro
are represented as having play
ed he races on Saturdays, thus
having acquired an idea of what
money would do along in 1904
Just after the presidential elec-
ton of that year Winfield brought
, to Stump the first ba' ch
of the Archbold correspondence.
MIR. Gleason quoted Charles
Stump.
'Mr. Hearst has not begun to
read the best OF the letters. He's
beginning easy. He has not the
originals, you know. These were
returned TO the Standard Oh
files. Photographic copies were
made, ana these are the ones
Hearst is using"

Tillman Back from Europe
Comment on the Hearst
Exposures.
New York, Oct. 21.--"Fhe
Archbold letters that Mr.. Hearst
has read are the big thing of
this campaign aud the one sub
ject of interest on the, e,o,her side" "
declared Senator Benjamin Ry-
an T,liman, OF South Carolina +,
when, with Mrs. Tlllman, he
reached this port on the Red
Star liner Kroonland, from Ant
werp today.
"Of course, as / have been
away for some time, canpoi
say what the general effect has
been from a political standpoint, +,
but is it a most interesting stu,
alton"
Senator Tillman has been
abroad tor his health and he ex-
planned that he was forbidden by
his doctors co do any prolon Led
studying OF political affairs.
II see that he got McLaurin.
/ am not surprised. We were
on to McLaurin in the Democra.
tic wing of the senate, and read
him out OF the caucus two years
ago. He belongs with the cor
poration-controlled senators aud
we told him So"
Senator McLauiin and Sena-
tor Tillmam had fist. fight on
the floor of the senate two years

Il cannot but feel little pity
for Senator Fora kerr" continued
Mr.. Tillman. '.He is an old man

of the rest OF them-in Ohio, too,
l might add. He, of course, de-
serves what punishment this ex
pose will bring, but | hope Mr.
Hearst will get the rest cf them.
"No, l take no active part in
the campaign. 1t is too nearly
over for me to bestir myself. The
last session in Washington was
the most trying | have ever
known and | was almost pros

Senator Tillman paused to en-
gage in repartee with a Philadel-

then said that he would hurry to

LONELINESS OF GREAT CITY.
No Interested Friends to Enter Into
Joys and Sorrows.

II you live In q large city you are
lost. You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around you. You
60 down into the deep and that's the
last OF you, except perhaps an occa-
sional bubble hat may come to the
surface nea where you were last
seen, says the Fremont (O.) Post.
There are SO many people who can't
escape drowning. You can't mako
friendships az you do in a smaller
place, where the individual isn't en-
tirely effaced by the mass. Society
IL not what it is In the smaller place,
where the human element enters in
altogether. In the larger place your
comlngs and goings are not noted by
newspapers, unless you are n Of the
high financiers or packing-house
bunch. The births and weddings in
your family are Of no more interest
outside YOU own fat than are the
wreaths of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no merry crowd OF in
terested neighbors with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit
tie sympathy from the rumbling, rat
Ting world outside; no sorrowing ac-
quaintances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there Is
little or none of that evidence OF low
ing kindness that m from neigh
bors and real friends in a small city
or town, where the dollar mark is not
written SO large and so indelibly on
everything. 1t is paradoxical law that
are fewer friends, and when you d.
minish the number to a frontier com
munity where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready to take
their lives in their hands for you.
