Gave Him the Chance.

President Lincoln took a quiet walk
in Washington one morning, in the
course of which he met a well pre-
served tramp. The tramp did not know
the president and asked him for the
loan Of dime to save him from i'm
mediate starvation.
'You look like an ablebodied man."
said the president "Why don't you
join the army?"
"They won't let me-" whined the
tramp. I'D be glad enough to die for
my country, sir, If they would give me
the chance"
"Well, maybe l can be of service"
said Mr.. Lincoln kindly. Taking an
envelope and pencil from his pocket,
he wrote a note and addressed 1t to
the officer in charge of the recruiting
station near by in Fifteenth street.
'aTake that" he said, passing it over,
"and give it to the officer at TIA Fif-
teenth street. If he can't do anything
for you come back here to me. I'm
just walking around"
The tramp took it and shuflled away,
but he never came back; neither did he
go to the recruiting office. The note
read:
Colonel F'ieldfng-The bearer is anxious
to go to the front and die for his country
Can't you give him a chance?

FROM DITCHER TO GOVERNOR
The mind is different.

The other day read sketch of the
life of J. Frank Hanly, ex-governor Of
Indiana
The story left out the most interest
ing part of Hanly's life, the part that
gives the key to his chaTacter-his
early struggles.
He is not the sort of man to parade
his humble beginnings for political
purposes, but he began nevertheless
very low down
IN a tile ditch,
Almost any old farmer in or about
Homer, ILL.,, could tell you Hanly was
n poor young fellow who dug tile
bitches for livelihood. But
While he made the tile bitches
through the black soil Of the corn belt,
he also studied law Of evenings. And
he attended every debating society in
that region. taking part.
Sometimes he would be overheard
practicing his speeches in the ditch
at least so tradition says-punctuating
the lofty periods with the deft motions
Of his long tile spade.
And then
Han1y got a chance to make Fourth
of July speech that took the whole
countryside off its feet.
Shortly afterward he moved across
the state line into Indiana and located
in Williamsport in the practice Of law.
He made political speeches and won
a reputation in western Indiana as an
orator Later he located in the city
Of Lafayette. where he has a lucrative
business.
AS governor Hanly made national
reputation.
He stirred the state of Indiana as
never before by his graft prosecutions.
He forced the resignation of some Of
the state officers and recovered thou
sands of dollars to the state treasury.
Hanly hates whisky as he does poi
son. CHASING them together, in fact
He forced a reluctant Legislature to
pass local option law under which
a large part of the state is dry.
As he is under fifty and in great re-
quest on the lecture platform, Hanly
is likely to he heard from further
Moreover
He has not lost touch with the com
mon people whom he knows so well.
coming up from among them to bis
present place The politician who
knows and sympathizes with the wants
of the people is q power.
And the career of one who climbs up
out Of ditch to be governor should
afford much cheer to the poor and
aspiring young men.

The jolly Roaer.

The question why the pirate flag was
called the "jolly roger" was investi-
gated twenty years or more ago and
not very satisfactorily determined. The
best opinion at that time centered upon
the use of roger as common cant
equivalent Of rogue. It seems, however,
quite as likely that roger, for. the black
ensign was known both as roger and
Jolly roger, is a corruption of name
vet earlier. The distinctive blaz0nry
of this flag has always been the mortu-
ary trickery of deaths head and cross
bones, familiar enough on ancient
tombstones. The older name Of the
device was raw head and bloody
bones, this being identified in use as
early as 1880 For the establishment
of this explanation we lack record of
the intervening stages, but the corrup-
ton of raw head into roger is well
within the phonetic possibilities of sea
