IL know that I was a lad 10 or II
years of age. My home was at Peo-
ria, and l remember wefl the excite
ment caused by the announcement
that Shelby NJ. Cullom. q distin-
guished young lawyer of Springfield,
who had been associated with Abra-
ham Lincoln in the practise of law,
would address the citizens of Peoria
on certain afternoon.
Practically everybody wanted to
see and hear Shelby M. Cullom. I
remember hearing people say that
Cullom had been very prominent
member of the Illinois Legislature,
and a good many people thought that
he had a political future possibly as
great as that of Lincoln himself.
Furthermore, we had been told
that Cullom was a very fine speaker
Everybody In that town was ready
to hear any good political speaker.
The coming of man of reputation as
a speaker usually led to suspension
of business while the speaking was
in progress. The largest hall in town
which was over livery stable
was secured for Mr.. Culloms use.
A little way beyond this hall vas

orator, Colonel Bob Ingersoll He
was not at home when Mr. Cullom
came and made his first address in
Peoria, for he was with his regiment
at the front. If he had been home
he would have been asked to preside
at the meeting.

World" which created stir three
years ago, did more than all her
works together to bring her world
fame In this book Mrs. Gilman shows
or attempts to show-that the CIV
ilization In which we now live Is the
fabric of mans - not mankind's -
making, that our conceptions of vir-
tue, honor nobility and power are all
based upon a purely man-made
standard. but. in the future-Mrs.
Gilman hopes and predicts-when
woman takes the role that is rightly
hers, these standards will be changed
and, in her opinion of course, changed
very much for the better.

The Moon in Cancer may be con-

incite activity which brings about

Under this sign, which is supposed
to render persons discreet and indie
pendent, a desire for sympathy may
cause both men and women to seek
acquaintance whom they will soon
forget. IT produces fickleness in love
affairs.
According to ancient lore this

HOROSCOPE.
Y. JULY 3, 1913,

This is a day in which the planets
balance all their diverse influences.
Astrologers find it time for the
continuation of routine work and the
enjoyment of usual recreations.
Mars has an aspect tending toward
astral guidance which may cause
hasty actions and rash words. 1t will
be wise, the seers declare, to temper
the emotions with logic and to avoid
expressing feeling that is intense,
since the planet often inclines those
who are susceptible to its influence
to be rash, headstrong and impul-
sive.
Venus is in an aspect which pres
ages particularly bad luck to those
who write letters to women.

very tall and very glossy black
silk hat of the kind known as plug
hat.
1.-The stranger and his plug hat
became the exciting incident of the
moment. People stopped to stare at
him. When he passed by they pointed
at his plug hat. Shelby M. Cullom
and his political speech were, for the
moment, forgotten. Afterward, when
the great crowd filled the hall, there
appeared upon the platform, escorted
by two or three of the principal citi-
zens of the town, Shelby NJ. Cullom,
and he carried his glossy silk hat in
his hand. 1t was placed on q chair
beside the one in which he was seat
ed. There it remained as monument
of the introduction of a new fashion.
But | must say that within a few
moments after Mr.. Cullom began his
address that silk hat was forgotten,
for he was a master of the art of ef-
fective political speaking.
"a great career was predicted for
him and the prediction was justified.
He was elected to Congress and wan
governor of Illinois, and he was five
times elected to the United States
Senate"
