Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1912-08-30

explained one Of his friends. While
not delicate mcp. his constitution is
not Of the most vigorous type.
when be gets into political bat
tie he forgets his weakness. He gives
all that is in him, and that will tell on
any man. Mrs Marshall soon discov-
cred that the governor would become
heated in making speech and the
next day his voice would be husky
She decided that he had better give up
some Of the handshaking and take care
Of his health first. So when you find
n.m making a speech when he has iln-
ished he does not stay around to hear
the applause of'the audience. Rather,
he hurries to his room and changes
his clothing
Some people have said that Tom
Marshall is not a handshaking politi-
clan. He is not, His wife thinks 1t is
more important to guard his health
than to carry out the old time policy
and she is correct, as she is in most
all other things"
"Hor'e Air" Prevails.
The Marshall home is typical of the
mistress. Il Is q home of books, and
/ still one does net feel "bookish' One
/ of the Marshall friends said he always
felt like eating when he entered the
Marshall home in Columbia city ol
the executive mansion at indianapolis

first, and th4 "home air" prevails,

the White House people would no
know that historic institution" de
clares an odmirer. Mrs. Marshal
would have IL real home. Peopl
would feel comfortable even In tn,
midst of the gold and glitter"

mistress Of q home that Mrs. Marshal
shows her ability She is politician
and q clever one. She also has a re
markablo memory
Governor Marshall has earned tn
reputation Of being in a class OF stor
telers all by himself. He can remeu
Der stories, but he forgots names. 1

with Governor Marshall, and this
ore Of the regrets Of his life, II he ha
any regrets, The governor is not
worrying man. He Is somewhat fl
talist. but II he could he would lili
to remember names; but, not havin
that ability, he does not worry, fc
Mrs. Marshall Is the name remembe
er of the family,
She has a peculiar ability along tn
line. Not only does she remembC
the last name, but any combination
d names comes rs second nature to he
and she carries this ability on down
the children and cousins of any or
seeking the governor.
, While the governor is shaking hant
and trying to remember whether h
caller Is Jones or Smith, Mrs. Marsha
is brsy supplying the information al
asking about all the relatives.
