How Abram s. Hewitt Oemonstrated to Steel Process Inventor That He Had Divided His Wealth
 With the Nations.

Sometimes the statement is made when man of great wealth dies, that, while he amassed millions for him self, he enriched the world to much greater extent than he did himself. And whenever 1 see this statement made I always call to mind the anec- dote that the late Abram s. Hewitt told me of Sir Henry Bessemer.
 Abram s. Hewitt is numbered among New York's best and most famous mayors He was chairman of the Democratic national committee that managed the Tilden presidential campaign his efforts as trustee and secretary gave Cooper Union the world d-wide fame it enjoys today as an educational institution, and for near ly half a century MT. Hewitt was a power in the iron and steel trade As a manufacturer he gained an en- cyclopedic knowledge of commercial, industrial and financial statistics not only of his own time, but of earlier times as well; and as an authority in

ShilIaIah Still Useful.

The shallalah, which showed at Louth that it has not entirely lost it's old importance as factor in decid- ing elections, is no raw limb of a tree. It is almost as much a work of art as well-balanced cricket bat. The old shillalahs were as carefully looked after by their loving owners
 as is a rife in the wilds. Cut from
 the sturdiest of young blackthorns, and showing as little taper as an ebony ruler, it was weighted with lead or iron at the end nearest the grip, so that it's center of gravity was about four-fifths of the way from the hitting end. When properly seasoned by being kept in the neighborhood of the farm oven for few months, it became a thing of supple steel. And the proper pronunciation of the name of this fearsome weapon is the melo- dious one of "shill-ally," with the ac- cent on the "all."-London Chronicle.

Could Not Decide Upon the Manner in Which the Presidents Inability to Perform His Duties Should
 Be Declared.

William Windom, federal represen- tative and senator from Minnesota, one of the early advocates of recipro- city and the gold standard, and candi- date for the Republican presidential nomination in the three national con ventions of the party held in the twelve years beginning with 1880, was also secretary of the treasury in two cabinets-Garfield's and Benjamin liar risons.
 About a year before MT Windom re- turned to Washington as a member of President Harrison's official family he spoke at length to me of his recol- lecticns of the period when his first presidential chief lay desperately i'll, and his cabinet was in daily doubt whether the president would survive the wound, or die
 Many were the incidents connected with Garfield's illness that impressed me greatly" said Senator Windom, but the one that left with me the most vivid impressions occurred the latter part of July, or it may have been about the first week in August
 You may remember that all through the presidents illness the members of his cabinet remained con- stantly in Washington. We had many informal discussions as to what our duty was under the circumstances, and upon one occasion MT. Blaine, the secretary of state, said to two or three of us that he was anxious to discuss with us personally and unofficially what seemed to him to be a very inn portant contingency that might arise. He then went on to say that he had been reading the clause in the Con- stitution which defined the office and responsibilities of the president, and that he had been trying to discover some precedent, or at least hint, in the discussions that took place in the convention that framed the Constitu- tion which might serve as a guide to the cabinet should it have to face the contingency that he had in mind.
 q asked MT. Blaine if he had references to the clause in the Constr, tuition which declares that in case of the death or disability of the president to perform the business of his office, the yice-president shall assume office. I remember perfectly Mir. Blaine's re- ply, which followed a grave nod Of his head
 We have had two cases where this clause of the Constitution has applied, he said. Each of them, however, was a case involving the death of presi- dent. It was the unquestioned right of the vice-president to succeed, al though I have learned that at the time of John Tylers accession there were many who thought he should sign him

One Vote Became e Majority

vote for Garfield with this temptation before his eyes; that, in the event of Garfield's election, MT. Greer would be appointed to an important position in the treasury department. That is to be Greer's reward was the com mon saying; and following Garfield's triumph at the polls, this opinion seem ed to be justified when it was learned that the new president had offered MT. Greer the post of assistant secre- tary of the treasury. But instead of accepting the offer, as it was common ly believed he would, MT. Greer de- clined the appointment, and when ask ed for the reason replied;
 q do not want any political office. could not afford to accept any ap- pointment. 1 could not afford to give up my business or my association with my bank"
 Then it is not true that you went to the Chicago convention determined to support Garfield because you had an ambition for an office in the treas ury?"
 General Garfield did not know me; I had never seen him until the Chi cago convention was organized" was the reply. T went to the convention expecting fully to obey the instruc- tions of my district convention and vote for General Grant for president. But when General Garfield made his speech placing John sherman in nom ination for president, l was so tre- mendously impressed by the personal ity, the magnificent physique, the su- perb voice and the wonderful rhetoric and eloquence of Garfield that l said to myself, This man, in my opinion, is the man who should be nominated for president of the United States by the Republican party l backed that opinion with my vote, even when received telegrams and powerful per sonal appeals urging me to change my vote to General Grant; and as l con- tirued to vote alone I grew more and more convinced that my lone ballot would eventually point the way to Gar fields nomination.
 q was right in that belief. I have never regretted my vote for Garfield And in the triumph of Garfield in the convention I received all the payment or reward, that I shall ever care for" | Copyright. 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All

GarfleId's Cabinet Puzzled

self "Vice-president, acting as pres ident." There has never been a case when the question of the inability of a president to perform his duties has been raised. It may be easy enough to determine whether a president Is completely incapable of performing the duties of his office or not That can be established by medical author ity. But who is to make the announce ment? Who is to call upon the vice. president?
 Then MT Blaine went on to say that in his opinion-and he presumed in that of all of us-President Garfield was totally ineapacitated, and would remain in that condition for some time, even though ultimately he should get we'll Suppose then some great emer- gency, like the imperative need of is suing pardon, or warlike complications should arise-an emergency which called for the assembling of congress. Would it be perfectly within the mean ing of the Constitution if the vice president were called upon to act as president? And MT. Blaine ended by insisting that the cabinet should be prepared for an emergency of that kind.
 "The result of this unofficial taking of counsel was that the suggestion was made that there should be informal and purely personal consultation with the attorney general, Wayne Mac Veagh Mir Blaine did broach the subject to the attorney general, and,

How One Lone Delegate In Republican Convention of 1880 Finally Brought About Nomination of James
 A. Garfield.

MT. Quay, you would put me un- der great obligation if you would give me information respecting the personality and purpose of that voci- ferrous delegate from your state who is casting the solitary vote reported by the secretary of this convention for James A. Garfield" said Roscoe Conk- ling at the Chicago Republican con- vention of 1880, to Matthew Stanley Quay, the leader of the Pennsylvania delegation.
 T can't explain, Senator" MT. Quay replied. He is a delegate from the Hazleton district, and he is disobey- ing the instructions of that district, which commanded him to vote for the nomination of General Grant. Why he is voting for Garfield l don't know. But 1t Is only one vote, and that doesn't mean anything"
 Sometimes one vote becomes a ma jority vote," Senator Conkling an swered, grimly.
 And so curiously enough, it happen ed in this case. The lone delegate from the anthracite coal region of the Keystone state cast his vote with such unvarying regularity for James A. Garfield that at last attention be- came fixed upon the delegate and the man he was voting for, and by one of those curious psychological moods that often descend upon crowd, the name of James A. Garfield fired the imagin- ation of the delegates and the majority vote of the convention had been much prolonged in a vain attempt to decide upon one of the prominent candidates.
 The name of this original Garfield man, in the real meaning of that term. was Alexander Greer, banker of Luz erne, Pa, a man of high character, who when he was elected delegate to the national convention, was pre- sumed to be in full accord with the sentiment of his district, which favor cd the nomination of General Grant for a third term. So, when his soli- tary insistence upon Garfield had at ast turned the convention in that di- rection, the report was sent broadcast that MT. Greer had been induced to

WHEN IT REALLY WAS WARM
Incident Related by MT. Blngs Put an End to the Hot Weather
 Stories.

"Hot in Brazil!" said the young man who had just returned from a trip to South America, according to the Chicago Daily News. Well, I should say so. Do you know, for days at time we couldn't take our after dinner siesta on account of the pe- culiar noises." What noises?" asked the blonde stenographer, innocently. Why, the coffee popping on the trees. You see, the sun was so hot the grains just roasted before they were picked" The old traveller syawned. Rather warm down there, bub," he rejoined, laconically, but when I was down there you couldn't sleep at night. Every once in while there would sound the most extraordinary crack ling noise that ever fell upon the hu- man ear.' "Wha4 were the sounds, MT. Bings?" And MT. Bings yawned again and replied: "The rubber trees stretching themselves"

though I did not hear the conversation authoritative1y informed that the at torney general was of the opinion that the vice-president, in case the disabil- ity of the president was unquestioned, could rightfully assume the duties of president the Constitution was anmis- takable on this point. But the attor- ney general asked: If the vice president gets the presidency in that way, how in the world is he to be talk en out of it in case the president re- covers and is once more able to per form the duties of the office to which he was elected?'
 That question was puzzler," con tinued Senator Windom, and there were so many other complications that eventually we informally decided to take no action unless a most impera- tive emergency arose. l have always been thankful that an emergency Of the sort did not arise. Yet l think that congress ought to indicate by statute the manner in which the if1- ability of a president to perform the duties of his office shall be declared, and the manner in which his ability to resume the office may be legally set forth"

UNSECURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his lit tie face was disfgured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. tied little bags of cloth over his hands tc prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched.
 We consulted two doctors at Chi cago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the re- suit, and after four weeks the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Reme- dies to everybody (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box SS3, West Point, Neb., Oct 26, 1910
