Appomattox" they rallied against the
"Half Breeds" who followed "the
iPlumed Knight" James G. Blaine of
Maine.
The rival champions in that remark
able tournament at Chicago were Ros-
soc Conkling, chieftain of the "Stal-
warts" and James A. Garfield of Ohio,
the spokesman of the Half Breeds
although he was restrained from dl-
rectly supporting Blaine by the instruc-
tions of his state in favor of the nomi-
nation of John Sherman. Conkling q
handsome fop, carefully studied the
right moment to make his theatrical
entry upon the stage the first day,
drawing the applause as he advanced
down the aisle with his "grandiloquent
swell, his majestic supereminent, over
PIONEERING, turkey gobbler strut" which
Blaine had held up to the laughter of
congress years before in q never-to-be-
forgiven speech. The next day Gar
field took his revenge by entering while
Conkling was speaking, and the well
coming cheers drowned the voice of
the indignant speaker. On the third
day the two came to grips in a de-
bate and the 0hioan scored on the New
Yorker.
While the gallery still was cheer
ing the victor in that round, Conkling
wrote on the margin of newspaper
and sent to Garfield a hooking sugges-
ton that he was playing to the gal
lery in his own interest: II congrat-
ulate you on being a dark horsel"
In truth Garfield could not rise in
the convention without helping him
self more than he helped Sherman,
who never had a chance to win. As
ballot after ballot was taken, II be-
came plain that neither the Immortal
306' who followed Grant nor the deaf
ening cheers which his name evoked
could overcome the prejudice against
n third term In the White House, and 1t
was made equally plain that this "Old
Guard never would surrender to
Blaine.
A new candidate was necessary IL
the convention was not to fall TO
pieces in factions. One solitary vote
for Garfield on most Of the ballots had
continued to point the finger Of des-
tiny at him. Wisconsin pointed all her
fingers in his direction when her dele
CATION broke to him on the thirty
fourth ballot.
Garfield rose with pallid face and
dry lips to point of order. But Sen
ator Hoar of Massachusetts,, who was
in the chair, raped him down. In two
more ballots he was nominated by a
combination of the Blaine and Sher-
man men.
In the midst of the uproar the nomi-
nee sat limp and perspiring In his seat.
Get me out Of here" he family whis-
pered to his seatmate, Ex-Governor

| JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
a flee TO the spirit of faction and of
the spoils system. Although this gen.
! tie, kindly man was not of the heroic
! stuff that martyrs are made Of his
blood became the seed of better things
in our politics.
Rarely if ever has president taken
up the burden of the office with larg-
er measure of good will from the peo-
pie, regardless of party and of fac
ton, than flowed out to Garfield as he
stood on the steps of the capitol in
the sunshine of his inaugural day, the
picture of robust American manhood
ing the Bible in the presence of a
! multitude of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, in forest hut, had
started him on his way to the White
House and who held place of honor
beside the schoolmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.
Zone thing though lackest yet and
that is a slight Justification of the
heart" John Hay had written to the
preSident-elect. This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield
would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting Ii above fac
tons, and he might have lived through
prosperous term. Instead, he re-
NAMED his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
a lieutenant of Blaine whom he APP
pointed to the secretaryship of state
with the love of a comradeship of
eighteen years"-and who became at
once the power behind the throne.
The only president to step directly
from the capitol to the White House,
he was without executive experience or
tastes. His whole training had been
TO debate and compromise, not to act
or decide on his sole responsibility.
Garfield himself was rather indiffer-
ent to factions, liking to get along with
all men. He appreciated Conkling's
reluctant but timely support in the
campaign and invited him out to Men
tor in the winter to talk over the New
York patronage. He thought of invit-
ing him into the cabinet itself, until
Blaine whispered no.
Less than three weeks after he took
his seat, Garfield told the senator that
he was not yet ready to consider the
question of filling the New York of
fees. Only As hours afterward, he fill
ed them, nominating for the highest of
those offices Blaine's best friend and
Conkling's worst enemy in New York.
With Garfield's hand, Blaine had
thrown down the gauntlet to the
naughty chieftain of the "Stalwart"
clan and a duel Of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration sue
ceeded in beating Conkling in the SEN
ate, where he opposed the confirma-
ton of the offensive nominee. But the
senator and his colleague. Thomas G.

When the conflict was bitterest and
when the "Stalwarts" were losing at
Albany, a disappointed place hunter at
Washington. Charles J. Guiteau, con-
ceived the mad idea Of saving the sit
uation with a pistol shot, and he posted
himself ut the railway station, where
his victim was to take train for Mas

back to Williams college, the goal of
his struggling youth, and was smiling
like a boy off for vacation as he
entered the waiting room at the rail-

are many and two of them are shown
in the picture On cap Of white net
there are frills of narrow satin ribbon
knife plated, and headband of wider
ssatin ribbon folded about 1t, slipping
through buckle made of the plated
ribbon. On cap Of georgette, mar
row plcot-edged ribbon is tackled in
saw-tooth design with little bows set
about the edge. At the side OF the
cap there are short standing loops Of
the narrow ribbon and one long hang
ing loop with two longer ends.
The garters pictured are among the
simplest that are to be found in the
shops. Others have frllls of gold, sill
yer and silk or cotton laces, besides
rosettes and tiny flowers. They are
all made by shirring satin ribbon over
fiat elastic bands, and the pair shown
has small rosettes of ribbon for dec
grafton. Among sachet bags there are
square, oblong, heart-shaped and round
bags made of satin ribbon in various
colors. The round sachet is shown in
the picture with q cluster of tiny rib
bon roses adjoining It, their stems and
foliage simulated by embroidery silk.
A pretty elastic girdle finishes the
group, trimmed with little ribbon roses.
1t is made In the same way as the
garters. Green baby ribbon, twisted
into stems and Topped to simulate
leaves makes pretty setting for the,
ribbon roses.

This home answers the question !:
"What sort of farm home can l
build that will be satisfactory in every
way and not cost me a whole lot Of
money!" The square type of house
is economical to construct and always
provides plenty of room. Today the
modern farm home is one that COM
bines comfort with the least expendi-
ture of effort. The farmers wife will
certainly appreciate home of this
type, because 1t furnishes her with the
means to do all her work in the most
pleasant manner possible.

find its reward because ribbon Access

the last of the presidents born and

that humble state, he was one of the

In the presidential chair.
Garfield is the only president who

The presidential lightning struck him
