The WAYS Of MoIes.

Among common animals few have
been less studied in their life history
than the mole. An English natural.
list, Mr.. Lionel Il. Adams, says that
under the fortress" which the mole
constructs above the surface. of the
ground win always be found a series
of tunnels running out beneath the
adjacent field. A curious feature al
most invariably found Is perpendic-
ular run penetrating about foot be-
low the bottom Of the nest and then
turning upward to meet another run.
A mole Is never found In his nest, al
though II may be yet warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smell
and hearing. a mole frequently locates
the nest Of partridge or pheasant
above his run and, penetrating 1t from
below. eats the eggs. The adult mole
is practically blind, but there are en-
bryonic indications that the power Of
sight In the race has deteriorated.

Getting Back Home

Home where the feathers are softest,
Home where the grub is the best,
Home where a fellow is part of
The circle, not merely guest.
Home where the bedroom is roomy,
Where upper births never are known
Where you can't hear the shores of
your neighbor,
And fog whistles never are blown.
Home where the laughter is truest,
Home to the kiddies again,
Home where the skies are the bluest,
Back to the porch and the den;
Back where there is no confusion
Or clamor. or speeches or shout,
Where the dining room never is crowded
And bellhops aren't rushing about.
Home where the songs are the sweetest
Home to the ones that are true;
Back to the life that's completest,
Back to the work we must do.
Back to the grind Yes, and ready
To take up the battle again:
For after the fun and the travel
Home looks mighty good to us then.
Had good time? / should say sol
Laughter and sunshine and song
Went with us all as we journeyed.
Nothing we planned turned out wrong.
But now that it's over we're happy,
For somehow whenever we roam,
We find that the best joy of travel
Is always the getting back home.

Smithson received an order for some
literary work and concluded that he
could do it better in the country than
in the city. When he reached his des-
tination, a farmhouse, spring was COM
ing on, the buds were swelling, and
the air was tempered by a balmy
warmth. Smithson's job was a story
for a magazine. The editor had q
plan of his own and thought Smithson
a good man to work it out. The char
acters and incidents were left to the
author.
Smithson needed q model for his
heroine. He spent the first week in
the country trying to %conjure up one
in his Imagination. The result was a
failure. Such heroines compared with
those taken from life are always fail
ures. The former are composite, with
out any individuality, while the latter
are real persons.
One morning when the sun was
brightly shining Smithson was sitting
by a window trying to get his ideas
lulO Snape. Iney refused TO take
shape. His hero was a steam man,
who moved automatically; his heroine
was a sphynx, who declined to open
either her heart or her character. The
author threw down his pen, picked
up his hat and stick and sailed forth
to gather inspiration.
On the road to the village he met a
young oma who as she walked
read a letter. He inferred that she
came from the postofice. He liked
her appearance. She was dressed
more tastefully than most country
girls who do not have city shops and
manufactures to supply them, and as
she approached Smithson, hearing his
step, she looked up rat him. Though

nomination largely on the reputation

far to hold the support Of the better

litical action because Of his vociferous
opposition to the shady transactions of
corporations seeking favors of the city
and because of their belief in his per-
sonal honesty. At the same time he is
intensely partisan and by his familiar
association with 1.-The boys" has the
confidence and loyal support of the
gamblers in every conceivable branch
of the profession. In the years when
cycling was the vogue he could be
found on his wheel wearing gay color
decorations. leading the parade of uni
formed clubs for their annual outing.
No other man is so well acquainted
with the different elements found in

the acquaintance to further his own

not as powerful or as many sided as

cago in 1855. His first Office was
that of county commissioner. to which
he was elected soon after the fire. In
1874 he was elected to congress by a
majority of eight votes and reelected
in 1876.
In 1S79-S1-S3-S5 = four successive
terms-he was nominated by the Dem
ocrats and elected mayor. In 1887 he
was renominated unanimously, but de-
clined to run because. he said. the
Cleveland administration at Washing
ton was against him. In 1891 he
went before the convention for a sixth
nomination. and. being defeated, or
counted out. by friends Of the incum-
bent candidate for reelection. he made
the race as al independent and receiv-
ed half OF the vote Of his party. CIV

into the Democratic convention of 1893
and after a fierce fight received the
nomination. His election by more than
21,00O majority to succeed a Republican
mayor was due to his remarkable per.

said that he had made no progress in
the traction problem and that he had
retarded action by the council. He
was elected by a scant margin.
This year he faced a clean. strong man
as the candidate Of the Republican
party in Professor Charles E. Merriam
Of the University of Chicago. The
fight was earnest and with more than
the average amount of bitterness, re-
elimination and offensive personalities.
It was a crucial test of his power and
popularity.
