You have been raised and stepped in

opinion, If you remain in politics you

Lamont, there was abundant evil

the state was to undergo most serious
factional disturbances during the next
few years. The sores made by sew

nomination Of Grant for president the
following year, and there was an ele-

Daniel Lamont's Story of How Fred
eric p. OIcott Rejected Opportu-
nifty That Later Made Grover
Cleveland President.

When Daniel S. Lamont, private Sec
rotary to Governor Cleveland, private
secretary to President Cleveland, and
one of the latter's secretaries OF war
told me this anecdote he prefaced IL
with the statement: II want to tell
you how a man you know might nave
been president had he not deliberate
ly and with his eyes open chosen an
other path.
'This man." pursued Mr.. Lamont,
then vice-president of the Northern
Pacific railroad, was comptroller OF
the state. OF New York from January
1, 1877, to November 4, 1879. AS
comptroller he gained great popular
ity throughout the state, and the high
est respect of business and financial
men generally, because of the effic1en-
cy and celebrity with which he carried
on the work of his department. SO
brilliant, indeed, were this mans serv-
ices as comptroller that a hattering
offer was made to him to go back into
the banking business, which he had
left to become a state officer
"The comptroller went to Daniel
Manning and told him Of the offer.
Mr.. Manning at that time was secre-
tary of the Democratic state commit
tee, and then and later q great power
in the, Democratic party. The two
men had been close friends for years,
and both lived in the same town
Albany.
FIRED said Mr.. Manning, when he
had heard his friend out, for many
years events have shown that the
office you now hold has been the STEP
ping stone for good many men to
high political preferment in state and
nation. One of your predecessors be-
came president-Millard Fillmore was
comptroller when he was nominated
for vice-president. Lucius Robinson,
now governor, was comptroller. Ira
Davenport was nominated for COVER
nor by the Republicans because OF his
record as comptroller. Governor Til
den told young Democrat, ambitious
to advance politically, to make his
first mark in the public service in
the comptroller's Office.

Story About WhistLer's Father

who for many years was at the head
of this important work, and who, for
two years, beginning in 1916, conduct
ed coast survey operations in the vi,
cinity Of New York. But 1t Is from
1882 that the present survey OF our
coasts really dates; and according to
two authorities in the railway world
it was due to a suggestion made by
the father of Whistler, the artist, that
a satisfactory base-line was found for
the present survey, which has re
suited in the accurate mapping Of our
entire coast line, both east and west
The story was originally told me
years ago by the late James d. Laying
"You probably know that, in order
to make survey, 1t is necessary, first
of all, to fix upon a base line, or start
ing point" said Mr.. Laying, at that
time vice-president of the Big -Four
system. Having got that, you car
then measure with your instruments
the distance between the starting
point and some prominent object-a
mountain, for example. Thus, you OBJ
tain two sides OF a triangle, and geom
etry teaches us that if you know the
length of two sides of triangle you
can at once find out what the length
of the third side is.
When the coast survey had at last
been scientificall organized and thus
born anew, party Of engineers was
sent out to find convenient anG
good starting point for the survey
that is to say, base line. They were
engaged In this task for quite awhile
"a number of months, in fact-and ii
the course of 1t they fell in with ar
old friend, Maj George Washington
Whistler, of the United States army
distinguished engineer.
Come with me and will show yor
what you want, said Maj. Whistler
who constructed the first long railroad
in the country, the Boston & Albany
They were willing, and the next day
he took those federal surveyors to {
| point on the Boston & Providence
railroad-then under course of con
struction-near the town of Mansfield
Mass. He led them up the railroad
track little way and then pointed tt
the north.
There he said, is stretch O.
railroad ten miles in length, by care
full measurements absolutely straight
and with no grades. 1t ought to be the
best kind of base line for you
TT didn't take the coast surveyor:
long to decide that Maj. Whistler wa!
right They accepted that ten mile
stretch as a starting point of theil
work and from it reached a point will
their instruments some go miles away
The gigantic task Of surveying the
coast line of the entire country was a
last under way on scientific basis
thanks to kindly and wise suggestion
on the part of Jimmy Whistler's ia
Their. And it may be interesting tt
note that the first measurement give1
by the surveyors instruments wa:
found afterwards by field measure
ment to be so nearly correct that the
deviation was only about two inche.

Because of Broken Promise James ~.
Tyner Helped Defeat Blaine for
Presidency, and Always Re-
GREETED His Revenge.

This story was told to me by the

1875, was postmaster general during
the last year of Grants second admin
istfation, afterwards becoming assist

was very cordial toward me, and at
the time of his second election as
speaker had just reason for expect

and told him that would be very glad
if he would make me chairman OF the

Boxes Sent TO Ministers

And the clothing thus sent is not
old, second hand, worn stuff, but new
and the best that can be bought. And
how do the people here know what
sizes to send, and so on? The an
nouncement that special attention is
given to missionary boxes says also:
Samples and self-measurement blanks
sent upon request.
The persons here who give send out
to the right person in the minister's
family these blanks and get the right
measurements for everything that is
required. The clothes thus given are
most commonly clerical suits for the
minister with not unlikely the add.
ton OF an overcoat, and If the minis.
ter has boys in his family it includes
new suits for them, as it may also un
derwear and stockings and things, the
missionary box never being skinny.

sionary boxes has first and last com.
missions for boxes that are to be sent

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
to Be Displayed All Over
United States.

During the next three months, the
bill boards of the United States will
display 10000 educational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nouncement made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun a year ago, when the National
Bill Posters association donated free
space to the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
facturers gave the paper for the post
,ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-month
campaign is nearly 100000.
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three col
ors. They are seven feet wide and
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of &c different cities,
and it is planned to distribute 10000
more before April 1 in over 400 towns
and cities. Any anti-tuberculosis so
ciety in the United States may re-
-ceive free of charge, except for trans
portation, as many Of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in it's ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee of the Ma
tional Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
how fresh air, good food, and rest
cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless con-
sumptive menaces the health of his
family by splitting on the floor.

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"Toronto STAR" Dec. 18TH, 1910.

OTOHIO OtdIy DCCs lOliiy ISIO
The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, AL
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canadas wheat-grow-
ing belt Is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center Of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and rs years more will
give this country 100000 popula-
ton west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction Of railways,
and the large volume Of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production Of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population Of Canada may; increase,
the increase Of home consumption Is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat; for a sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead Of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods Of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overlooking granary Of Can
ada so close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from US, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms Of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best Of bond of any government or
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for a
farmer In Western Canada to realize
profit of from S. to $40 per acre.
There are thousands of free home
steads of 100 acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained

The Wise Bishop.

To the brilliant Episcopal bishop OF
Tennessee, DR.. Thomas F. Gailor, a
Memphis man, of rather narrow views,
complained about charity balls.
Il doubt if it be quite reverent,

for the purpose of charity
But Bishop Gailor, with a saving
burst OF common sense, laughed and
replied:
why, my dear fellow, I'm sure, if
1T would do anybody any good, I'd
dance the whole length of Memphis in
full canonicals."
