The viscount had introduced me in

so there was no danger of the pseudo
Lionel taking alarm. By the second
dinner time we were the best OF

Lionel with Just enough liquor to
make him boastful and garrulous, and
joking him about his coming ordeal.

no symptoms of backing down, and
about half-after eleven we two gravely
escorted him down the long dank-

of furniture was a big old-fashionec

WAS ONCE "A cABINET-MAkER

The career of Gov. George W.
Donaghey. twice chief executive Of
Arkansas, shows how success comes
to the man who struggles for 1t and
is is worthy of It. Not many yea-r
ago Mr.. Donaghey was an obscure cab
met maker In an Arkansas village. He
branched out as contractor and
earned for himself a splendid reputa-
ton as square-dealing business man
by the erection Of many public build
ings in Arkansas. Oklahoma and
Texas.
Some ten years ago It was decided
to erect q new state house In Arkan-
sas. Donaghey was one of the bid
ders, but the contract went to anoth-
er. Then and there he vowed that he
would be the first to sit under the
dome of the new capitol as governor
Of the state. He had never been In
politics, and had all to learn about
that intricate game. While the odds

megaphone to my lips and set up q

Presumably Cousin Lionel was

the walls sent booming through that

confessed the whole imposture.
And who was he? you'll ask.
Well. 1t seemed that his real name

would be easy to pass himself on TO

SEEKING ANIMALS FOR FOOD

The time may possibly come when
residents Of Louisiana may shoot hip
popotami from their back porches and
settlers in the Rockies may chase the
nimble Gland and springbok-all AMI
mails now Indigenous to Africa For
wear or more considerable study has
been given to certain wild animals OF
Africa as source of food supply and
the proposition has been seriously ad-
vanced to stock the marshes and
bayous of the south with hippopotami.
In this way some enthusiasts have
seen a way for getting even with the
beef trust, oblivious Of the fact that
the trust might corner the hippopota-
mi equally as the wild western steers.
The idea Of stocking certain parts
of the country with animals from At

food supply, is now to-be tested. One

ROSE FROM PINBoY TO BOSS

George B. Cox, the political boss Of
Cincinnati and Hamilton county, who
Is now under indictment on the charge
of perjury, is essentially a self-made
man. Success has crowned him In
business and politics and the reason
he assigns for this is that he has never
broken his word.
Born amid humble surrounding In
the West end of Cincinnati, he began
life as pinboy in a bowling alley.
Then he drove delivery wagon and
became one OF the best known young
men In the Eighteenth ward. then a
Democratic stronghold. There was
rebellious sentiment against the kid
glove element. and Mr.. Cox was nom
mated for the council and elected as a
Republican. He had just reached MS
majority. With a friend he started a
saloon and billiard parlor and laid the
foundation of his political leadership.
