Once a Dock LabOreT,

It. His parents We're Irish Canadians.
and he was the only boy. His father
had been sailor on the lakes in. sum
NOR and a stonecutter on land in win
ter. The elder Corners was thrifty in
his way, and when he had accumulated
enough he invested his earnings in a
small saloon near the Ohio basin. 1t
was in the very heart of a district con-.
tanning a dcnsc population composed
OF freight handlers and grain scoop
ers, men who toled all day and We're
likely to carouse all night
1t was a hazardous school for young.
Corners. That it made its unhealthy
and even degrading impress Mr.. Con-
ners would be first to admit. His par
ents wanted him to have some educa-4
ton beyond that of the docks. and no
was sent to the parochial school. He
learned readily, but the confinement
and the routine We're not to his taste.
After a year of it he declared that he
needed no more; that he chose rather
to roll up his sleeves and go to work.
His father gave a reluctant consent,
and the boy went to work. His first
Job was that of cooks assistant on one

tive life, but he kept at it four years.
eventually becoming chief porter.
About that time he realized that the
great physical strength with which he
was endowed made him fit for the bet
ter paid but far harder work on the
docks. of which he had seen so much
and which he could do without an ap-
premiership. Here he worked, and
worked hard. until he was twenty two.
He had risen to the position of fore
man Of freight handlers. but he was
ambitious to get rich, and TO become
the proprietor Of a saloon near the
docks seemed to him TO be distinct
forward step. He didn't have much
working capital, but from the first
business came his way, and he pros
pcred financially. He had become
popular among his mates along the
docks, and they became his patrons
when he went into business. Just then
his father died, and the son became
| owner of two prosperous saloons
He made money. but he did not
like the business, said so frankly and
was constantly on the lookout for
something more to his taste. One day

moving until he reached the great cat
tic ranges Of western Nebraska.
Here he followed the typical cowboy
life for three years and was then made
foreman and was intrusted with the
responsible mission of going to Oregon
after herd of 5000 head of cattle. 1t
took six months to drive this immense
herd across the country on to the Me-
brasl1a ranges. Dahlman admits that
it was one of the most exacting res
sponsibiities he has ever undertaken.
The value of the herd was not less
than $4,000, and that Il young man Of
Ftwenty-three should have been in
trusted with the sole management of
such an undertaking is proof sufficient
of the confidence put in his ability and
integrity by the owner OF the cattle.
Seven other herds of the same size
belonging to the same owner We're
driven over the same trail by as many
different foremen. The owner pro-
vded himself with a fine pearl han
died, nickel plated six shooter which
he made up his mind to present to the
foreman whose herd was in best con-
dition on arrival at the end of the
drive. Young Dahlman was the re-
cipient OF the testimonial, and that
pistol is one of his most valuable pos
sessions even to this day.
He Settles Down.
About that time he was appointed
state brand inspector for the Wyo-
ming State Cattle association, a posi-
ton demanding the most careful atten-
ton to detail and the exercise of good
Judgment and impartialty, In 1854 he
was married and settled at Chadron,

western part of the state, where the
ranges were still unfenced and the cat
tie business still booming. He was
elected a member Of the city council
Immediately and then served four
terms as sheriff, an almost unprece-
denied record OF popularity and eff
cheney on the border,
Chadron and Dawes county were
strongly Republican, but Mr.. Dahlman
was elected mayor OF the town and re-
elected without opposition. In 1892 he
went to Chicago aud helped nominate
Grover Cleveland, and four years later
he did a like service for Mr.. Bryan.
From 1895 to 1900 he was chairman of
the state committee and carried the
state at each election for5the Demo-
cratic party, the only period that state
has been in Democratic hands since its
organization except in 1890, when Boyd
was elected on the Prohibition ticket.
He became a member of the national
committee in 1900 and in 1908 was
appointed to the executive committee.
At the recent Denver convention he
was on the committee of arrange
ments and contributed largely to the
success of the gathering. 1t was at
| this national meeting that his cowboy
| quartet came to the front and con-
verified the vast new Auditorium into
| Veritable temple of song.
| BY 1898 Dahlman had outgrown
| Chadron.a He removed to Omaha and
after eight years of political inactivity

talican control for seventeen years, and

tho case. Tho acknowledged personal
worth OF the principals in the contest
tnterposes an efficient check to the

on many an ambitious candidate at

tins far that the minor personalities IN
ire political drama now being enacted
have been compelled to bear the pur-
den Of the game.
Perhaps the most conspicuous OF
these victims in the Democratic camp
at least, is William j. Corners, member
OF the New York Democratic state
committee, reputed to be the real as
we'll as the titular boss of the Demo
cratic organization in the Empire
state. In lieu of wider field in when
to exercise their wit and power or m

is an impression eStant that
the campaign poets are hav-
q Ing hard time. One of the newspa-
Ders complains that the campaign thus
far has produced no songs that may
be described accurately in any lan-
guage a family journal may employ
with safety. The entire crop OF this
years campaign poesy has been call,
ed dull and witless for want of better

accused of lack of spirit and, what is
even more vital, lack OF ideas. Listen

these pessimists:
Bryan does not seem to stir them
to jingle making as of yorc. The two
Bills have suggested no humorous
verse. Who can be facetious, joyous.
tuneful, on the subject of Mr. James
Sherman OF Utica? Even the sugges
tive and easily rhymable name Of Kern
has inspired no telling verse. If the.
;$oratory of the campaign is to resemble
the poetry in lifelessness and lack of
the stirring quality. this will be q dull
campaign indeed. Perhaps it is just
as we'll. The voters will have nothing
