As THE 4DUKE OF DURHAM"
Ameriran Dealer Cat In Chair Once
Occupied BY Hero Of
Waterloo

The late Mr.. Washington Duke, Of
Durham, North Carolina. at home
known as Uncle WASH" who manu-
featured tobacco products SO extern
sively for quarter of century, used
to tell quaint little story on himself.
The first time travelled abroad" he
said. Il visited Brussels and went to
see all it's sights. In one Of the pub
lice buildings / found an ordinary
looking armchair carefully rallied on
and with chain across its front. Be-
ing tired with hard morning Of
tramping, i stepped over the fence,
let down the chain and, with big
sigh of relief, dropped into this chair,
the only one / had seen in the build
ing. A guard in lace and buttons was
on me at once.
mo sitting in that CHART he blus-
tered. See the card on. the back?
The Duke of Wellington once occupied
that chair!'
"'WeA, and what of itg returned.
cool as cucumber I'm Duke Of
Durham, and alive at that!'
This settled the matter. Down to
the floor went that funky, brushing
the dust from my American shoes
with his handkerchief Of real Euro
pean title. A way-up English title
catches them every time. had my
rest out in that solid old chair of the
Waterloo hero. THE Wasp.

Greatness.

In olden times great men existed
at the expense of others. Alexander
and Napoleon were great by despising
ordinary humankind. That will be no
more. Greatness will be pure, moral,
intellectual. In Olden days contempt
Of humankind was necessary to be-
come great. I do not share the COM
mon i'll will against conquerors. Those
who think Alexander mailman, who
set Asia on fire for his pleasure, are
fools. Where would the human spirit
be II Alexander had not undertaken
this marvellous expedition? No, wars
and conquest were the instruments
of progress. But this will be so no
longer when the whole world will
have become rationai.-Ernest Renan.

His ENGLISH Income.

"Once you make American money"
said the man who had lived In Eng
land, you are forever spoiled for life
in England. You can't go back, that's
all. American money is SO much more
reckless than English money. You
must make SO much Aore of it. Now,
when ! lived in London ! made the
munifcent sum Of $35 week, and
had valet on It, was pointed out
as the man who made seven pounds .

Tell me-, how far would seven pounds
go here in New York? Could you
keep a valet on It? No. You couldn't
keep yellow dog In the style In
which New York yellow dog expects
to be kept"

HExEAL RACE.
THIS Picture Shows Who b whs ~
strong Contrast.

The Ludington Chronicle. one OF
the sOly edited papers Of northern
Michigan, reviews in late issue the
gubernatorial situation In the follow
ing language:
THE merry three-cornered race for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor of Michigan is now on in real
earnest, and all over the state the
people are beginning to take . lively
interest In the contest Candidate
Musselman, Of Grand Rapids. IL put
ting up clean and energetic cam.
paign. but everywhere the closest po-
litical observers agree that the real
race 10 between Lieut. Governor Pat
rick H. Kelley and Chase 8. Osborn,
Of the 500.
"A few months ago Mr.. Kelley, who
represents Gov. Warner and the state
machine was conceded to hold lrst
position In the race, and everything
was coming his way. But today con-
ditions have changed and the trend OF
popular opinion SCENE to be going
Osborn's way In such manner as to
thoroughly alarm the Warner faction.
Mr.. Osborn's style of campaign has
been something OF q revelation to the
old wheel horses who have depended
largely on steam roller methods to
carry Kelley through. Somehow or
other. the people have got the notion
into their heads that the old state has
had about enough Of Warner and his
extravagant regime, and accordingly
the Warner o. X. with which Kelley
mada such an suspicious start has
proved political boomerang which
returns to plague the inventor
Besides this the people don't ex.
actly like the moranchial idea of hand,
ing the governorship job down from
one generation to another as II 1t were
the family heir loom OF a royal house
hold. II this Is to be done they say.
why hold an election for governor
anyway. In this way the af&ble but
ambitious Pat Kelley has fallen into
wide disrepute and the tide Of popular
sentiment has turned toward Osborn
with unmistakable force.
Meanwhile the versatile gentleman
from the north has gone on cam
paigning with an energy quite as
tonishing. Everywhere ne goes
and he goes everywhere, the people
like him. They like his speeches,
they like his style, they like his can
dor. He makes more speeches, shakes
more hands, imparts more inspira,
ton, hands out more. ideas than any
man who has stumped Michigan since
the days Of the immortal Pingree
With voice that seems as tire
less as graphaphone and with al
the force and power Of a Zach Chand-
Ter he goes romping over the state
telling folks what he thinks and why
he thinks 1t. He meets Kelley W.
ner ct al face to face at the ban
quets and calls the turn on tLeIu, at
nice as he can to be sure, but never
theless he means it, and they all
know It.
Osborn hasn't struck Mason coun-
ty yet In his wanderings, but he's due
here before the campaign is over and
it's a good guess that he'll get a
glad hand. Kelley and Musselman
have both been here but their smoke
faded away after them much as one
wave swallows another. When o.
born comes there may not be much
loud noise. hat it's q safe hazard
that the gentleman will at least be
conscious that someone 10 looking

NO TRUCKING.
Ne. osborn's Sound Views Are Plainly
Expresssd.

Perry r. Powers, Of Cadillac, II one
Of the most ardent and persistent
Osborn men In Michigan. Powers is
widely known all over Michigan. and
has for years made an intelligent
study Of state affairs. He believes
Mr.. Osborn will be the next governor
Of Michigan, and will give the state
an administration Of which every
citizen will be proud.
Commenting upon Mr.. Oshorn's
tearless, Independent and clearly ex-
pressed views upon the subject of
taxation, recently, Mr.. Powers says:
There may he differences Of opin-
ion touching questions Of state taxa
ton and rs to Just what procedure In
tina. direction will produce fairest and
most satisfactory results But there
is not q voter In the state who does
not admire frankness and sincerity
on the part Of men who are seeking
positions of responsibility and power
In his reply to the questions sug-
gested to him by the Michigan State
Grange, Chase Osborn said: II am
In favor of iron and copper mines pay
ing their Just share Of taxation. and
] agree with even the most insistent
on that subject that II is absolutely
important and desirable that they
should do So" In a further refer
ence to the Grange questions Mr.. Qs-
born said he did not believe 1t would
be wise or best to abandon the ad-
valorem tax system at this time. This
system had been adopted in Michigan
after several years of legislative con-
tention and statewide effort and its
results were quite satisfactory. What
ever was necessary to be done In or
der to require the iron and copper
mines to pay their Just share Of tax.
alton could be accomplished Mr.. Os-
born believes and says without de-
parting from Michigsn's present pol.
icy Of state taxation. There was not
q word or q line In Mr.. Osborn's reply
which sought to evade or to conceal
or to deceive. He frankly tells the
voters Of the state through his letter
to the State Grange Just what he will
desire to do in the way Of insisting
upon equal taxation, and the people
Of Michigan know that he will full.
I'LL every promise he makes. There

fidence than In any possible state OF

With it the 1utnberlnen taking active
