The Logcabin Campaign.

What small things often change the
current of our lives Perhaps it is
a kind or an unkind word. 1t may
be kind or unkind deed. 1t may
be that Bryan's Gross of Cold"
speech landed the nomination for the
presidency for him. Often it is the
dimple in the cheek, the dressing of
the hair, the merriment that sparkles
in the eye, that causes us to choose
out life'S partner. In 1889 the Wing
members of congress thought it would
be a fine thing to call a convention

carried the convention, having l48
votes. Virginia had % votes in the
convention, all for Henry Clay To
pacify these delegates they gave John
Tyler of Virginia the vice-presidential
nomination.
Then began one of the most mem
orable campaigns ever witnessed in
the United States. In enthusiasm it
has rarely if ever been excelled Rat
ihcation meetings were held almost
everywhere, and on the fourth of May
1910, 10000 young men gathered in
Baltimore, the largest political as
sembly at that time ever held in the
country. One thousand went from
Massachusetts,. They adjourned to
meet at Washington on March 4, at
the Inauguration of Harrison.
The Baltimore Republican in an
editorial ridiculed Harrison; "If
anybody would give him pension of
few hundred dollars and a barrel of
hard cider he would sit in his log
cabin content for life" Some happy
observer in the west seized upon the
unfortunate sneer. To ridicule the

Seals Help Himself.

A lad of eleven entered the Anti
tuberculosis hospital society's head
quarters yesterday. He had left
school some time ago. Yesterday he
saw some of the boys and girls who
had been in his schoolroom carrying
Christmas seals, and he thought he
would like to help contribute to the
relief of the tuberculosis patients in
the city. He got some seals from one
of the children and sold hundred of
them.
Enthused with success he thought
he'd try to sell some for himself
When he reported at headquarters the
nurse looked at him and then took
him into the clinic, then in session
An examination showed marked signs
of tuberculosis, and today little Tony
is in the sanitorium starting on big
ger fight than he's ever had before-a
fight for health. His hundred seals
helped to give him chance for life.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is an average men,
Not built on any particular plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck,
Just steady and earnest and full of
pluck.
He goes at task with ginger and grit
For he is determined to conquer it.
When asked a question he does not
guess
He knows, and answers No" or
Yes"
When set task that the rest can't do
He buckles down till he's put it thru.
He studies his duty as to why and
how,
His practiced motto is do it now
Three things he learned: That the
man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes:
That it pays to know more than one
thing we'll;
That it doesn't pay all he knows to
tell.
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks,
Who uses his hand, his head, his eyes;
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

and so the work will continue until
the cruel war is over. 1t does not
require more than five minutes each
for the inspector to finish his part,
and Judging from the selects and the
rejects he knows his business. One
thing noticeable is the high grade
of horses. Not more than one in
twenty is an iron gray; the others
are all black, brown and bay. Most
of them are from twelve to fourteen
hundred in weight. A few lesser
mounts. Many show harness and
collar marks. What is paid for them
I did not learn, but they are of
weight and grade sold on the public
market for $50 to $500 each. One
high-headed. proud iron gray, show
ing French breeding, thought to
show his worth by doing a little
preliminary fighting at home. His
ancestors had worked and warred in
Flanders, where the Flanderites long
ago sang to them as they patted
their royal necks: Then proudly
neigh my charger gray, oh, thy
breast is broad and ample, thy hoofs

saddled him-single cinch, without
blanket. Horse, rider nor spectators
knew what Robespierre-that ought
to be his name-would do when he
felt the cinch tighten, but no matter,
or as usual the unexpected hap
pened. When the buster said bueno,
Robespierre dropped his head onto
the ground between his fore feet,
stuck both hind hoofs into his mouth,
bowed his back and proceeded to
show what free born American
horse of royal descent could do. He
had moulded himself into the shape
of bomb and proceeded to explode
slowly. His first effort shot him
about ten feet up into the atmos-
phere and the saddle at the apex on
his back looked like the dome on the
capitol building. He shook, swelled,
bucked, groaned, grunted, squealed
and came down broadside, stretching
head, neck, tail and all four legs to
their limits, all striking at imagin-
airy enemies on the right bank of the
User. He then arose as suddenly as
he fell, his nose at an angle of forty
degrees, when he spied the six-foot
sign on the fourth story of a pack
ing house forty rods away. In his
frenzy this sign was both chal-
lenge and menace. He apparently
knew that they eat horse beef where
they purposed taking him, so he i'm
agined himself to be Zeppelin and
started to fly with the intention of
demolishing the hateful letters.
About two rods from where he start
ed he encountered a barrier in the
way of seven-foot fence which
