the picture. william Henry Harrison was
a Vfrginian by birth, but was chosen
President from Ohio, and Zachary Taylor
was a son Of Virginia. though chosen
from Louisiana, or rather from the army
John Tyler's failure in office injured the
state She did not "come back" For a
long time she did not count at all in
presidential calculations. 1t was said that
the soil was exhausted, though that was
but an exaggeration Of politics. Many OF
her sons made good figures In affairs,
but none attained the supreme place.
In the affairs of the southern Confeder-
acy she was conspicuous in military
rather than in civil life. President Davis
was from Mississippi, Vice President
Stephens from Georgia, while the leading
member of the cabinet was Mr.. Benjamin
of Louisiana. But some of the best COM
manders were her sons, and Gen. Lee
was not only the greatest soldier of the
cause, but took rank with the greatest
soldiers of the era.
After the war matters drifted until John
w. Daniel got his chance and impressed
himself on his party. His name was
suggested for President several times
though he cherished no ambition in that
direction and encouraged none of the
compliments of his friends. He was
always regular and much respected,
and, while he supported Mr.. Bryan with
enthusiasm at the beginning of the lat
ter's national career, cooled toward him
later and advocated a new leadership.
Mr.. Daniel was an orator. Mr.. Martin
is not. But neither was Washington,
Jefferson, Madison. Monroe, Harrison,
Tyler or Taylor. Jefferson's extraordi-
nary power was with his pen. Virginia s
one master contribution to political ora
tory was Patrick Henry, never a presi-

Wild Investments.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.


There is a great loss among the people
because Of their investing In plausible
schemes to make money. 1t SO often hap
pens that people will invest their money
in some so-called enterprise that some
glib agent will make appear absolutely
safe, and sure to return large incomes
and in the end lose it all. 1t is possible
the agents themselves believe what they
say, but the experience is that they are
mistaken many times more than they are
correct. The true rule in all these mat
ters is, not to invest in a thing you
don't know is all right. Be content with a
3 or per cent dividend rather than go
fioundering through the swamps for 10
or 20 per cent dividend. Such dividends
are usually "will-o -the-wisps" that
tempt one to the edge of the precipice
and over he goes, money, faith, happi-
ness and all. So common have been
these disasters that Kansas has enacted
what is known as the blue sky law
so called because most of these schemes
are little patches Of blue sky brought
down to bedizen the innocent. The law
makes it a penal Offense for person to
offer shares in any company that is not
approved by public authority-a very
good law.

The Band Wagon.

When the big band wagon comes a-roll-
in along,
With everybody joinin' in shout or a
song,
And they greet the speeches that are
echoed there
With big bouquets along the thorough
While the populace is joining in the
merry din
Let me in, Mr.. Driver, let me in!
But when that band is playin out O
tune
And you can't tell second fiddle from
the big bassoon, .
When the people that were cheerin
stop to look and say,
Its time that wagon went the other
way;
When harmony is smothered by dis
cordant doubt,
Let me out Mr.. Driver, let me out!

Political Buncombe.
the Cincinnati Times-star.

that nobody understands, many peo-
pie understand in many ways. is one of
the curious phenomena of present-day
politics in America. There is always a
certain amount of CUFF and buncombe In
the political atmosphere of a free coun-
try. Just now we seem to be Oversup-
piled In this respect. When as a nation
we come to analyze more carefully the
catch phrases that are now going the
rounds. and to insist that those who use
them say Just exactly what they mean,
the political atmosphere will be con-
siderably cleared, and we will all know
better our exact location and prospects.

Hypothetical Question.

mo gentleman would strike a
woman
Il know it, replied the man with
the anxious look; but when a gentle
man is hanging to a strap in crowd
ed car that suddenly takes a curve and
causes him to jam his elbow violently
into the eye of an adjacent lady toward
whom he doesn't feel the slightest re-
sentiment, or, indeed, interest of any de-
scription, do you think he can be held
morally responsible?'
