Democrats first learned to bolt their
party ticket. Previous to that time,
boiling in the Democratic party was
partisan offense which required a
lifetime of repentance and good
works. The strongest Democrats
originated the bolt and their exam
pie was followed by the weaker ones
in subsequent yenrs.
Mark Hanna
The Republican party was known
to be invincible in 1900. The oppo-
sition was matter of form. There
had been four years of Mckinley
prosperity and the country wanted
four years more. In 1900, at Phila-
delphia, Mark Hanna was there and
made the best speech calling the con-
vention to order that was ever made
in convention under like circum-
stances. said when he directed the
marching columns, with their wav-
ing banners and plumes around the
convention hall, there was genuine
enthusiasm. At that convention,
against his will, was selected Roose.

The Vice Presidency

The Vice Presidency
The convention meets on Tues
day, and nobody yet knows or darcs
to guess who the nominee for Vice
President will be. There Is talk of
Fairbanks, Dolliver, Beveridge, Seth
kLow, and one or two others. 1t has
been suggested that Senator Knox
will be an ideal candidate. but the
Pennsylvanians scorn second place.
They prefer to march away again in
defeat. Political history dates from
1896 as far as the present generation
is concerned. Nearly all of the Dem
ocratic characters in the Bryan Chi

dead also. Dick Bland of Missouri

Abraham Lincoln sixteenth presi-
dent of the United States was born
in Hardin county, Kentucky, February
in Berks county Pa. His parents, born
in Virginia. emigrated to Kentucky
and in 1916 went to Indiana. He had
about one years schooling in the ag-
gregate. When he was nineteen years
of age he went as a hired hand on a
fiat boat to New Orleans. He COM
manded company in the Blackhawk
war. He rose rapidly and became a
leader OF the Wing party in Illinois.
Mr.. Lincoln received 1000 more
votes of his people than his opponent
In 1860 and 1864 he was elected pres
ident of the United States.
Lincoln lived in a log cabin and
was very fond of reading books. He
would go several miles, just to get a
! book. The people in the neighborhood
| all went to him to have him write
their letter for them.
| Once Lincoln had on a new suit
and was riding horseback along the
road, when he came to pig fastened
/ in a mud-hole and couldn't get out
Lincoln did not like to get his new
suit muddy so he rode on. After he
had gone quite ways he couldn't get
the pig off his mind so he rode back
and got off of his horse and took the
pig out of the mud-hole He was
satisfied then and rode on.

was elected and four years later was
reelected. His policy for turning out
Office holders and replacing them with
members of his own party, has been
the custom ever since, and is known
as the spells system.
The most important of Jacksons
administration was its dealing With

leader of the believers in state SOW

ident. The protective tariff bill in 1882
passed by congress was very dis

And she knew the boys would soon be

To carry away her gate.
And while she sat and peered with.

She heard a tramping Of feet,
And later she saw merry crowd
OF boys coming down the street
They gathered about and unhinged
her gate,
Then carried it cross the way
Where they hung it high up in a tree,
To stay till the coming of day.
The old lady smiled and sat quite still
AS she looked across at the tree
Now some other boys will soon com,

And bring the gate back to me-"
So there she watched and anothe

I am going TO make a pumpkin into
a iack-o-lantern. The first thing | am
going to do is to hollow it out put in
a pose, eyes and mouth, light candle
and put it into it. Then it will be a
complete jack-o-lantern. Then put it
on pole, then l can carry it around.
Last year I had one but did not light
it.
Three years ago this Halloween
some boys stole our wagon and
pushed it into ditch. Once some boys
hitched up an old COW and took a
wagon, a piece at time. put it in
tree, and some boys got ladder and
took another wagon and put it a
piece at time on a fiat roof barn
and put it together. When they got il
set UP right they took the ladder
down and put it away where they
found It. When the man CAME out to
hitch up TO it he saw it up there.
