 The only political office Harrison ever held before his election to the presidency was a seat In the senate. Defeated for reelection to that body In the year before he was elected pres ident. he left Washington with DO thought that he would soon return as Iyesident-elect. and he frankly de scrihed himself as 'a dead duck"
 The only candidate that the rank and file of the Republicans wanted to nominate in 1888 was BLsine But he was not well, and he refused to make a contest for the nomination. At last he cabled from Scotland: Take liar rison.' And the convention indiffer- ently took him.
 The more notable events of the Har- rison administratiOn-the Mckinley tarff act: the silver act, which more than doubled the purchase of that metal by the treasury; the Sherman law on the subject of trusts; the de pendent pension act, and the first Pan American congress-hardly belong in this little story, because none of them originated with the president himself He did not rise to leadership. and con greSs took the reins All the while he sat In the White House in cold aloof ness.
 With the cry of God help the sur plus i'' the Republicans gave the coun- try in Harrison's administration the first "billlon-dollar congress" the ap- propriations for the two-year term ris- ing to that unprecedented total. To the popular protest Speaker Reed re- torted: "This is a billion-dollar coun- try" But the country did not feel rich enough to pay the higher tariff rates of the Mckinley act.
 That law was passed only seven weeks before the congressional elec- tons in 1s90 Of course anyone who had anything to sell seized upon the excuse to mark up prices. The shop ping women" rose in their fury at the higher cost of living. and the voters overwhelmed the Republican majority in the house.
 That was the forerunner of a still greater political overturn in the presi- dential election in 1892. when Harrison went down under a sweeping victory for Cleveland.

ENJAMIN HARRISON'S admins ID tration proved to be only an ip- termission between the two acts of the Cleveland drama. History gives but a passing glance at the one president whose predecessor became his success or, who had to give up the presidential chair to the man he took it from.
 Although Harrison had more brains than Cleveland. Cleveland had larger nature, and that is what counts most in the leadership of men.
 Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of a president, in whose house he was born. his father was poor and the boy was brought up plainly.
 Graduating from a small Ohio col lege. Harrison married st twenty the girl to whom he engaged himself at eighteen, and they went to housekeep- ing in little three-room cottage in Indianapolis. He was not admitted to the bar until after his marriage, and the first money he ever made was as a court crier at S250 a day. Later on he helped out his lean practice with his salary as clerk of the supreme court of the state Then came the Civil war, in which he served gallantly as colonel and marched with Sher-

ROVER CLEVELAND had no 0 more than left the presidency in defeat and settled down to the prac- tice of law in New York City than 1t was seen that he was still almost as much the leader of the Democratic party as when he was in tLe White House
 Tn the four years of his retirement, he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so strong was the reaction against the Republicans and so loud the call for him in 1892 that he returned in tri- umph 10 the White House.
 One of the periodical panics of the 18th century smote the country with a financial and industrial paralysis In 1898 only two months after the in. auguration. AS usual, the party in day A leading Republican newspaper shouted in gleeful headlines: Another bank gone DemOcratic!"
 AS the first means of restoring con- 1dence. Cleveland called a special ses- sion of congress for the purpose of having it repeal the Silver act of the Harrison administration. The next day he submitted himself to the surgeons knife for tEe removal of a cancerous ulcer which had appeared in the roof of hs mouth. His grave physical con- dition was concealed from the panicky mind of the public, and the operation n ha aboard yacht as it steamed slowly up the East River, off New York Not un- til many years had passed was 1t known that when congress assembled he faced It with a rubber jaw.
 Under the pressure of the president, the Silver act was repealed, but only after a bitter struggle which left the Democratic party hopelessly split The passage of tariff bill divided the par ty still more. II was such lobby made, log-rolling measure that Cleve- land refused to sign 1t, but let 1t be- come law without his signature. After that tte Democrats went down in de- feat in the congressional elections of 1894.
 In the depth of our domestic troubles the president sent his famous Venezuelan message to congress In it he announced that the British gov ernment had rejected all our appeals for the arbitration of land dispute which It was pressing in South Amer lea, and he boldly proposed that we ourselves should decide the question and then proceed to enforce our de- cision.
 Stocks tumbled headlong in Lon much wild talk on both sides of the Atlantic, But the president confidently treasured his troubled private secre- tary, "Thurber, this does not mean war; it means arbitration" And that was the outcome of all the hubbub. Cleveland's outburst of plain speaking had the effect of awakening tEe Eng fish people, as never before, to the val ue of American friendship. and it opened new era in the relations of the two governments.
 Cleveland's hardest, longest battle in his second administration was for the gold standard Almost alone he upheld it through four years, abandoned by most of the Democrats and unaided by the gold Republicans in congress, wto were afreid of hurting the party" with the silver people.

GREATEST FIGHT
"a. western Newspaper Union

When the Overland stage route TO
the Colorado gold fields was estaD-
lished shortly before the civil war,
one of the bravest drivers i'll its EN-
ploy was Il young man from Illinois
named james b. HickOk. In 1851
Hickok was taken OFF the stages ana
put in charge of the Rock Creek sta
ton, west of Topeka, Kan, In region
filled with gangs of outlaws and high
way robbers. one of these, known as
the McCandlass gang, invited Hickok
10 ioin them and, upon his refusal,
threatened to visit him some day and
make him regret his defiance.
You'll find me here any time you
come" was HickOk's reply.
A few days later the McCandlass
gang did find him there. They at
tackled him in his dug-Out, battered

was killed by bullet from Hickoks
rifle. Three more of the gang were
shot down with pistol before the
other six drew their bowie knives and
rushed upon him.
Then I went Wild" said Hickok
in telling of the fight afterwards. DeS-
pcrately wounded but terrible in his
berSerker rage, he came TO grips with
| the outlaws. and when the fight was
! over eight of the ten were dead ana
| the other two fled for their lives.
! Ever afterward KickOk was known as
wild Bill"
Later Wild Bill enlisted in the Union
army as a scout He served with Gen
. eral Curtis in Arkansas and repeatedly
: entered the Confederate lines as
spy. More than once he was diScOv'
cred and forced to flee, and more than
once the fieetness and intelligence OF
his fayorite horse, BLACK Nell" saved
his life. He was sharpshooter al
the Battle of Pea Ridge, where he dis
tinguished himself by killing the Con
federate general, Mccullough.
After the war Bill returned to Kan
sas and became scout for Genera

services and who once said: "Whethel
