bought by your Yankee friends than
they were in England or in Scotland.
They said to me that some of the peo-
pie in America had a better under
standing of the meaning in my books
than my friends in England.
"Weel, however that may be, the
booksellers sold my books in Yankee
land, and they sent me much money
in payment therefor. So, at that time
my doctor said to me, Drive away
your dyspepsia by horseback riding.
And l searched the marts, and made
infinite inquiry, and at last they
showed me a horse that was worth
while, they said.
"Weel, when I tried him, l found
they had told me the truth so | said:
Horse, it is with Yankee money
buy We, and for that reason Yankee
shall be your name And so it is that
l ride my horse Yankee and think
of my American friends"
When Emerson heard this anecdote
first hand he for the first time realized
that Thomas Carlyle was a man Of in
finite humor. And when he returned
to America he recounted the incident
to Thoreau, who, in his journal, states
briefly the fact that Emerson told him
that Carlyle rode about on a horse
which he had named Yankee"

Indignation of Amos j. Cummings Was
Aroused When He Was Asked TO
Help Defeat His Friend
From Ohio.

Early in 1890 the Democratic leg
islature Of Ohio, in Tedistricting the
state for the national house of repre-
sentatiyes, carved out a very peculiar,
irregular and ragged district, so far as
boundaries were concerned, which was
to be the new district in which Will
liam Mckinley was to be the Republi-
can candidate for congress. The accu-
satiOn was commonly made that the
district had been so bounded and de-
fined as to bring within it such a large
proportion Of Democratic voters as
would make the defeat of Mckinley in
evitable. Whether that was the pur
pose or not of those who redistricted
McKinley's home district, it was the
result, and for the first time William
Mckinley was defeated for reelection
TO congress. That occurred in the fall
of 1890
1t so happened that at this congress
sional election the late Amos J. Cum
mings was a candidate for reelection
as a Democrat from one Of the New
York city districts. There was only
nominal Republican opposition to Cum
mings, since he had gained great popu-
larity with all his constituents, being

Described As Always Smoking, He
Told How, Though Lighting His
Cigar Frequently, the Number
He Consumed Was Small.

After. Judge Charles J. Folger, while
secretary Of the treasury, had been
nominated for governor of New York,
In 1882, it was made apparent that, by
reason Of certain factional quarrels
in the Republican party for which he
was not responsible, the danger was
grave that Grover Cleveland, then
mayor of Buffalo, would defeat him at
the November election. It was neces-
sary for those who were managing
the Republican campaign to call forth
the utmost resources of the party, and
for that reason they decided to urge
General Grant to preside at a great
campaign meeting which was to be
held at the Metropolitan opera house,
in New York city.
Gen. George H. Sharpe, who in the
Civil war had served upon the staff of
General Meade, where he had been
brought into close relations with Gen
eral Grant and who afterwards was
speaker of the assembly at Albany,
and Capt. Frederick c. Wagner, who
gained great reputation in New
York at the time OF the draft riots in
1853, were appointed a committee to
call upon General Grant, and ask him
TO preside at the meeting. AS a re
suit OF that interview, these two Re
publicGns Incidentally learned some
thing Of which they before had had
no knowledge. They obtained from
General Grant full explanation as to
his smoking habits
1t happened in this way: The COM
mittee said to General Grant that the
party would esteem it a great honor
If he would preside at the ratification
meeting at the Metropolitan opera
house. Thereupon, the general took
a cigar which had been lighted, but
had gone out, from his lips, lighted it,
and said:
1T would give me the greatest
| pleasure - preside at this meeting,
but l havs an imperative engagement
at Philadelphia with Mr.. Drexel I
cannot break it. I will, however, glad
| ly write a letter, telling of my earn
| est hope Of the election of Judge Fol
ger as governor"
| By this time the fire in General
Grants cigar had deadened, and he
! again lighted it, and began a little
chat with his friends
At last one of the committee ven
tured to say: General, 1 see you still
are fond Of the cigar"
Taking the cigar from his lips, Gen
eral Grant pointed to it. Look at
that cigar he said. You see. it's
burned away about an inch Now, I
| lighted that cigar when l came to this
! office little before ten o'clock this
morning. 1t is now a little after
twelve. suppose it has gone OUT and
| been relighted ten times. That one
cigar will last me until three o'clock

Refused TO Fight Mckinley

as ready to serve a Republican as a
Democrat. Cummings had great ad-
miration for Major Mckinley, and in
his first two terms in congress had es-
tabIished a warm friendship with him.
After Cummings denomination for
congress, he met two or three Of his
Republican friends, and they invited
him to take luncheon with them, for he
had long been very friendly with them.
After the luncheon was ended, the par
ty slowly strolled from the clubhouse,
when, all of a sudden man stopped
! Cummings and endeaEored to whisper
in his ear.
Talk out loud" said Cummings.
Tell me what you have got to say
right here"
But it is about politics." said the
man, whom all recognized as a Demo
cratic politician, land these men are
Republicans"
That doesn't make any difference"
Cummings replied. They are friends
of mine. What is it you want?"
We'll, Amos, word has just been
received at headquarters thu the man
ayers out in McKinIey's dis riot want
you to go out there and ma e several
speeches for the Democratic candidate
for congress-"
What! l go out into McKh ley's dis
| trict and stump against him? I tell you
that man is one of the few Republican
members of congress who has every
| Democratic member for a friend. He
| has never played false with the Demo
Gratis. or with anybody else
Cummings voice was now at high
pitch. Its the biggest fool business
that I have known Democrats to do
since l knew anything about politics"
he cried, Indignantly. Here they
have gone to work in Ohio and banked
up a district for the purpose of killing
! Mckinley, politically They are going
to defeat him, but I'll have no part in
it. You go back to headquarters and
tell them that Cummings says that
! they are going to defeat Mckinley for
| congress, but in that defeat will come
| his victory, for he will be surely elect
ed next year governor of Ohio, and
will as certainly be elected president
of the United States"
The amazed politician ventured mild
| Iy to suggest: Suppose they insist,
after 1 tell them what you have said,
on your going to Ohio and stumping
against Mckinley"
IF they do" shouted Cummings,
you can tell them for me that they
can all go to h. I'd rather be de,
feated for congress than take the
stump against William Mckinley il
that dirty game"
After Mckinley became president
he was told of Cummings denuncia'
ton of the Ohio politics which was
meant to defeat Mckinley for con,
gress, and there was no member of the
Democratic party in congress more
cordially received at the White House
than Amos J. Cummings.

Famous Scotch Author Told Emerson
He Bought Steed With Money
From American Sales of
His Books

In college days we were told that al
though many other English writer's
professed to regard the United States
either with condescension or with con-
tempt, at least so far as literature was
concerned, Thomas Carlyle was espe-
cially friendly to this country, and
numbered among the closest of his in
Inmates several Americans, principally
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
1t is a well known fact that Carlyle
was especially attracted to Emerson
because the Sage of Concord was the
first American to speak with approval,
even with enthusiasm, of the writings
of Carlyle. And when Emerson made
his first visit to England in 1888, he
called upon Carlyle and was most cor
daily received, the beginning of per-
sonal intimacy which was maintained
by correspondence for many years
Shortly after he arrived in London
Emerson set out to call upon Carlyle
at his home in Cheyne Row, near the
Chelsea hospital, London. Just before
he reached the house, he saw a horse
led up to the door, and the long-legged
and gaunt Scotchman descend the
steps, mount the horse and ride away.
Emerson must have been somewhat as
tonished, since he had in all probabili-
ty never dreamed of Carlyle as a man
who took any exercise At all events,
Emerson, calling again a few hours
later, was fortunate in finding Carlyle
at home and after a little, ventured to
speak to Carlyle about his horseback
ride.
Did We take heed O me?" Carlyle
exclaimed. 'Weel, l sometimes get
astride me horse and take a canter
and sometimes 1 walk the city streets.
Did ye hear how I got me horse?"
Of course, Emerson was interested
saying that he would be pleased to
learn the story.
"Ye can't imagine the name he has"
said Carlyle. so I'll tell ye His name
is Yankee and Yankee he is, for it
was with Yankee money he was
bought. It's the sole quadruped in all
London that is Yankee by name

1t is a common belief that the ne
gro's head is hard, capable of WI,
standing almost any blow.
The following story told by promi-
nent young dentist of Danville, H.,
would seem to indicate something of
the kind anyhow. Two negro men
were employed on tearing down a
three-story brick building. One ne
gro was on top of the building taking
off the bricks and sliding them down
a narrow wooden chute to the ground,
some thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them up and piling
them.
When this latter negro was stoop-
ing over to pick up a brick the former
accidentally let one fall, striking him
directly on the head.
Instead of its killing him, he merely
looked up, without rising, and said,
What you doin thar, niger, you
