The governor is one OF the most
careful and most particular men l
have ever known. II is true that
AZ the close OF each lecture he
writes down in a little book every
story that he told there. every prin-
chile that he advocated, and every
thought that he uttered, so that he
will never repeat the same thing IN
La town. He Is able to do this be
caro- he has such a fund OF stories
and anecdotes and so much to give
Of his experience that is new. Con-
sequentIy we are all glad that we
are to have our "War-horse" with us

while he was known as the humor-
isl of congress. He most certainly
is a humorist and an optimist: There
Is a laugh In every line and a hand
clap in every paragraph. Bede is

on and makes them happier while
they pass.
Then we have, w. |. Nolan. |
won't speak of what he may have
been in politics because he comes,
not as a politician, but as bust
ness man, and humorist. l sup
pose could not give you better
idea of Mr.. Nolan than to direct you
to almost any banker in any of the
central states. Mr.. Nolan is kept
busy going to Bankers conventions
because he carries with him mes
sage of good cheer. He has many
laughs, his philosophy is sound,
bright and wholesome. He radiates
so much confidence, confidence III

and when, asked to go to school
again the boys father said:
IF you wish to study literature,
go to England; if you want to study
music, will send you to Germany;
If you prefer to study art will have
you go to Paris"
But" said the boy, II want to
know something OF them ALL
Then said the father, my son,
If you wish to knaw everything 4
