Josephus Daniels. chairman Of the
publicity committee, does not claim
to be musician. but he has been Civ
ing due attention to each author, until
he has acquired the habit of humming
various tunes It became a case of
either humming while talking to his
callers and answering his avalanche
of letters or turning the songs over to
one Of the employees of the publicity
bureau.
A winsome young stenographer was
found who said she could play the
plano just as well as she could use
the typewriter. For two days she play
ed tunes after Office hours. but today
1t was found she was writing her let
ters in B sharp or F fat and now Mr.
Daniels is wondering If he should not
employ a regular musical editor to Sc
lect the songs for the campaign.
If a congressional committee ever
cares to investigate the democratic
national committee campaign fund of
1912. they will find one entry on the
cash books of Treasurer Rolla Wells
that he will be unable to give them
any information about.
In his morning mail, Treasurer
Wells foun da dollar bill, in highly
scented piece of letter paper and was
signed "only Suffragette." This
was duly entered ON the books.
A political headquarters during a
national campaign is about the last
place man would expect to spend a
vacation, but that is what William
Rufus Hollister, private secretary to
Senator Stone of Missouri is doing.
Mr.. Hollister is In Chairman Nc
Combs private Office and to him falls
the duty of answering many of the
letters that reach headquarters. Mr..
Hollister was selected for the impor-
tant post, because he has reputation
in Washington Of being able to keep
a half dozen stenographers busy writ
ing letters.
"But | am having vacation" ex-
planned Mr.. Hollister from behind a.
yard high OF letters. Senator Stone
every four years, declares it is wrong
for any one to eat or sleep.

explained Mr. Francis John was
shipping clerk in the store adjoining
that Of my uncle, c. P. Rowland Of
st. Louis. I had just graduated from
school and my uncle gave me a posi-
ton in his store. I was the shipping
clerk and we used to help load the
drays, and John here, showed me how
to lift a big box by giving it the pro-
per balance. And, speaking of proper
balancing" went on Mr. Francis. let
me tell my friends that the American
public is not going to be off its bal
ance this fall. Roosevelt is doing all
he can to keep the business and labor
ing world balancing around on one
foot. but cannot see nor can find,
the slightest indicatin but what the
great masses are standing firm for
Wilson and Marshall.
There is nothing abnormal in the
appearance of Elmer w. Hurst of
Rock Island, Ill. He is tall broad
shouldered, dignified appearing man;
waving gray hair, gray mustache and
a twinkling blue eye, but Mr.. Hurst
is somewhat of an oddity in the legal
and political world, not only Illinois,
but the west.
He was the Illinois delegation
choice for vice president at Baltimore,
but he did not want the position. He
was the choice of the majority of the
democrats of Illinois for democratic
governor, but he declined with thanks,
and he has been offered political hon
ors for the past score of years, and
never accepted but one, and that was
when he went to the Illinois legislature
at the request of Congressman Ben B.
Gable, who incidentally, Mr. Hurst
discovered and fathered
Mr.. Hurst has the reputation of not
alone being the intimate friend OF the
leading democrats of the country, but
has the. unique distinction of persuad-
ing many of the prominent men in po-
litical life, today, to take office.

republican vote in the cities of Illi-

Many of the republican friends

very fact alone adds to the certainty

The foregoing conversation is from

Der the time in ireland when our crops
failed, when the Iish too, were starv-
ing-men, women and children. There
was call given to the people Of the
world for aid to keep them from dying
in want, and am one who got share
Of that call and was kept from starv.
ing with the hunger. Now, I can't for
get the call when others are dying
from hunger. When our crops failed
in Ireland, the farmers could not pay
their rent, and I have seen them
thrown into Jail by the landlord, and
my father was one of them who was
thrown into the Clonmell jail and
whose children were left to starve by
the roadside.
You will find enclosed a draft of
$4,000 and you will send the full
amount to China as my contribution
to help those poor suffering people.
I saw in the same paper about a
poor Catholic Sister who lost her goat.
lrishmen are queer beings, and some
times they say and do funny things. |
have seen goats in Ireland and I have
seen goats in America, but I never saw
China goat. The Irish goats and the
American goats that I have seen have
only one bag-perhaps the China goat
has two-and if you will write to that
Sister and let me know her address, ]
will send her the price of a goat.

farm with the load when his daughtc4.
Vivian asked to go along and the faith
er picked up the little girl and tossed
her onto the high load.
The team attached to the wagon was
pair of high-strung 4year-old colts
and just as Mr.. Larson put the little
girl on the wagon they started. The
father rushed to their heads but they
were excited. They had but a short
time before run away from Mr.. Lar
sons son and they paid no attention
to the effort to stop them.
The brave farmer could easily have
sprung aside to safety but the thought
of the danger Of his little girl made
him cling to the brides. The team
reared, tore loose from his grasp and
he was trampled under the feet of the
horses and the heavy wagon passed
over him, crushing him to death al
most instantly.
The team ran into tree short dis
lance away and broke loose from the
wagon, leaving the little girl perched
safely on the load. Larson is survived
by wife and eight children.
