other time he rode pony from Florida to
Boston. Though just boy at the time, the
imagination that has helped him in his news
paper career was even then budding. At
every stop he told a different story to
his destination. This indulgence in fiction
brought him close to grief one night when
a man who had heard his story the previous
evening, tried to line it up with the one he
was then telling. AS a result Harve was
he able to satisfy the suspicious strang
er of his honesty.
That is of the fine things about Par
sons. His is the type in which honesty
stands out plainly. He is honest with him
self, as well as with other people, and that
is f.icu1ty that is likely to make him real
success as police officer.
But however great may be his success he
will die a disappointed man. That Oregon
horse may have been acting agent of
destiny when it smashed his legs and ribs
and untitled him physically for everything
but the newspaper career to which he
turned as last resort, but that horse
played wha1ey with Harves ambitions.
Maybe, though, the horse was part Spanish.
Anyway, it kept Parsons out of the regular
army. The horse smashed him the day the
Maine blown up. He had made all his
plans to enlist in the United States army as
a cavalryman. At that time his ambition
had not risen above position top ser
geant in the horse marines. A short time
ago he told the writer that he would never
recover from the disappointment due to his
inability to get in the army, and he hates
the sight or thought of an Oregon horse to
this day. He is too modest to give that
horse credit for giving Topeka a popu-
lar cartoonist, colin conductor, and chief
of police.

to the United States While he was in
Washington, during the close of his last
visit to this country, he witnessed the most
soul-stirring scene of his whole career. 1t
was in December, $780, while Jenny Lind
was making her triumphant tour through
the United States. She gave of her
concerts in the great national hall at Wash
ington and Payne occupied front seat. Her
audience had been entranced by the rendi-
ton of her lovely melodies, "Casta Diva"
the Flute Song the Bird Song and the
Greeting to America" when she sud-
denly turned to where Payne was seated
and sang 'Home, Sweet Home" with such
feeling and pathos that the audience was
moved with excitement and enthusiasm.
Payne thrilled with rapture at this I'M
expected and enviable compliment. Again.
in 1851, he returned to Tunis as American
Consul His following words show that he
experienced mingling of unusual pleasure
and sorrow: "How often have l been in
the heart of Paris, Berlin, London, some
other city and have heard persons singing
or hand-organs playing Home, Sweet
Home without having a shilling to buy
myself the next meal or place to lay my
headl The world has literally sung my
song until every heart is familiar with its
melody, yet / have been a wanderer from
my boyhood. My country has turned me
ruth1essly from office and in my old age I
have to submit to humiliation for bread
