Sure That Republicans Will Win in
Ohio,

NEW YORK. August 26.-Wade III. FL
lis. chairman of the Ohio republican state
executive committee. arrived here yester-
day after a month on the New Jersey
coast. MI Ellis said that he had never
kept closely in touch with the situation in
Ohio. but that IL was a sure thing that
the republicans would carry the state.
1--WE are going to have spirited con-
test, of course he added. but Ohio is a
republican state, and has never gone
democratic but once in the last twenty
five years, and that was over the liquor
question. There is no such issue this
year. and the state Is the Presidents

the chances are decidedly In favor of the

Artabanus had stylish pair OF feet
Instead OF being pigeon-toed they
pointed in opposite directions. one
northeast and one northwest. as YOU
might say, and Artabanus was as
pleased as a child with a new toy. He
stood and looked at those two feet
with pride In his eyes. and then he
cracked his heels together, which was
a thing he had never been able 10 do
IN his life before. He shook hands
with Doc Weaver warmly. and said
he would settle his bin as soon as he
marketed his crop. and then he start.
ed home. But his feet had got the
habit Of going In the direction in
which they were headed. and now they
were headed in opposite directions.
and by the time Artabanus had taken
four steps his legs were spread apart
ike pair Of conpasses and at the
next step something ripped and Arta-
banus came down with a whop, He
got up Immediately and tried il again.
bn u was no use. one foot went OF
northwest and the other went of
northeast and when he had taken four
steps Artabanus's legs were spread out
like letter A that has been mashed
fiat Nothing Artabanus could do
seemed 10 make any difference. No
matter which way he wanted to go
one foot went one way and the other
foot the other way. until they could
go no further, and then Artabanus
would sit down hard But he looked
all right when he was standing still.
So he tried walking backward. and his
legs crossed like a letter Y, and al
the fourth step Artabanus sat down
hard. 1t looked as II he could spend
the rest Of his life sitting down hard.
But Doc Weaver had been watching
his thoroughly and he suddenly spoke
up and told him 10 try sideways, and
Artabanus tried IL. II was successful.
So now Artabanuss feet look well. and
he can make pretty good speed. side
ways. but he shouldn't try to run. We
all tell him so, but he will try II. The
truth is that man was not made TO run
sideways. When Artabanus tries TO
run sideways he looks like the dickens.
AS near as ] can explain il he looks
like shanghai rooster trying TO polka.

Ever since childhood Artabanus has
been so pigeon toed that he could not

dormant was with the left foot on
the ground and the right foot resting
across the instep Of the left foot II
he wanted TO use his left foot he had

put II of. and put it of. in his usual
careless way. until one day he got
hts right foot cut of in his hay now
or. and then he picked it up and
rushed down to Doc Weaver.
Doc Weaver was as pleased as any
thing. and went right TO work sewing
the foot on. but Artabanus told him
that he wanted the foot to toe out
plenty this time He said he had worn
that foot toeing IN long enough. and
that as long as ii could be put on any
way he wanted il TO toe out good and
plenty. So Doc Weaver toed il out
considerab bly,, and when Artabanus left
his bed he had two feet as good as
ever. one toeing out and the other
toeing in. This put his feet in par
allel lines. for both pointed northeast.
as YOU might say The right foot toed
out TO the right. and the left foot toed
in 10 the right. and there was only
me trouble-Artabanus had TO walk
in circles. for his feet we're always
toed around toward the right
II was a sad sight 10 see Artabanus
coming down town in a hurry. He
rame in spirals Sometimes when he
was in great rush he would not move
forward at all just rush around and
around in a circle to the right. II he
went slowly and took great care. he
did not do much better-he. was al
wavs hitting the other side Of the
street Time and again. when he was
ont in his field, he would start for the
other end OF the field. and. every time.
he would wind up just where he start
cd from. Artabanus could not help
n He had to go the way his feet
were headed. Often, when he was
Moving. his team would start straight
across the field and Artabanus would
drop his reins and circle around back
IN the pillow. II made blowing very
slow.
But last month Artabanus had the
good fortune to lose his left foot in a
manner similar to that in which he
lost the right. and he hurried down
70 Doc Weaver and had II sewed on.
He made Doc slew his left foot around
to .be left. and when the job was done
