date for govern
or of New York
in the closing
days of the cam
paign And no
less arduous and
energetic was the
tour of his Re
publican oppo
nent Charles E
Hughes The
two men passed and repassed each
other on the railroads put up some
times at the same hotel and on sev
eral occasions their itineraries coin
cided so closely that without any in
tention of so doing they found them
selves holding rival meetings In small
er towns of the state at the same time
Automobiles were pressed into serv
ice by both candidates in covering
country as well as city districts and
In tliis way both were able to fill a
great many speaking engagements in
the course of a days campaign labors
While the two candidates conducted
so vigorous a canvass both were care
ful to avoid personalities and to treat
each other with unfailing courtesy
The campaign of two years ago
which resulted in the election of Mr
Hughes the head of the Republican
ticket for governor and of the Demo
cratic candidates for the other state
offices placed Mr Chanler and Mr
Hughes in peculiar relations As lieu
tenant governor Mr Chanler has often
been called on to appear with Mr
Hughes at public functions or to con
sider public matters with him as a
member of the state government One
of these occasions was when just at
the outset of the campaign Governor
Hughes and Lieutenant Governor
Chanler met at a state fair and spoke
from the same platform on nonpolitical
subjects Under such circumstances
it would be difficult for some men not
to permit political differences to affect
their personal relations and their con
duct toward each other in public
Mr Chanler is an effective speaker
and a good campaigner and he has a
splendid physique which enables him
to undergo prolonged strain without
incurring great fatigue

ceived in this country claims that
Abraham Lincoln would have stood
for the same things that socialism doe
if he had lived at this time In the
course of his canvass he paid a visit
to Lincolns tomb at Springtield Ill
Standing by the sarcophagus of the
martyr president he delivered a eulogy
upon him savins anions other things
Slave power which loathed aud de
spised Lincoln was no more heartless
than the power of capitalism which to
day holds the workiugmen of the na
tion in bondage
Debs and his associates lay great
stress on the slavery of today as
they term it and they find arguments
on this subject particularly effective
among the colored voters The Social
ists count on gaining recruits from
the Democratic party among the labor
ing men and from the Republican
party among the colored voters
The Socialists headed by Debs have
a vast army of speakers paid and un
paid and these men appear on street

corners in the large cities during the
state and national campaigns outlin
ing the party principles and selling
the publications In which the partys
recommendations are described Of
course a radical party like the Social
ists has active opponents and at meet
ings when these opponents are present
the speakers set aside a period in which
questions may be asked Sometimes a
quick witted Socialist is able to make
the questioners appear ridiculousand it
1 Is seldom that a meeting of this de
scription terminates without a dis
turbance of more or less importance
The size of the socialistic vote in
this country Is rapidly Increasing and
this fact is the more noteworthy be
cause the partys organization is by
no means complete Debs proudly
states that his partj Is a volunteer
party making material progress with
out office or patronage The paid
workers of other parties have no coun
terpart in the district organizations of
the Socialists and this fact is one that
causes most worry to the Democratic
and Republican leaders They realize
that a party popular enough to attract
hundreds of volunteer workers is cer
tain to become a national factor wor
thy of serious consideration if indeed
the Socialist party has not already be
come such
Samuel Gompers has had plenty of
publicity in the campaign of 1908 on
account of the controversy over the
position taken by him In the support
of the Democratic national ticket As

president of the American Federation
of Labor Mr Gompers is always a
busy man but because of the active
part he has taken in politics this year
his duties have been exceptionally
many and laborious For several
years he won re election as head of
the American Federation of Labor
after contests which threatened the
continuance of his power The next
meeting of the federation occasions
especial interest on account of the con
troversies expected to arise over the
question of indorsement of President
Gompers course in the campaign
It is twenty six years since Mr Gom
pers was first chosen president of the
Federation of Labor and every year
since with one exception 1S94 he has
been re elected Under his direction
the order has increased in numbers un
til it is now 2000000 strong and is ac
counted the most influential body of
organized wage earners in the world
Mr Gompers was born in London in
lSoO and for forty years and more
has been identified with union labor
Many a time he could have had posi
tions which would have paid him a
larger salary than that which he re
ceives as president of the American
Federation of Labor but his sympathy
with the cause of labor prevented him
from accepting them He is a poor
man is proud of it and expectst to die
poor He has no ambition to make
moiey and chooses rather to devote
his energies to uplifting his fellow
workers and leaving them as a class
when lie dies better off than they
would have been but for his having
lived
The political contest in Rhode Island
has excited interest this jear on ac
count of the value to both national
tickets of the electoral votes of the
commonwealth and
the complications
caused by local is

GOOD HORSEMANSHIP
An Old Hunters Illustration of tho
Gift of Hands
Your heart and your head keep up
Your hands and your knees keep down
Your knees keep close to your horses
sides
And your elbows to your own
This old bit of advice for the would
be horseman Is quoted by a writer in
Bnllys Magazine and declared to be
pereunially sound
He quotes another old hunter ou the
subject of what he calls the divJue
gift of hands in riding This old
hunter John Darby used to attach
two pieces of twiue to the back of an
ordinary chair and -draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on Its
fore or hind legs according to his owu
position
Then when balanced he would keep
it so to speak on the swing by geutly
manipulating the twine or reins he
held In his hand A rough pull would
of course have upset the chair one
way whereas the fact of not checking
it in its movements at all would have
caused a total loss of control over it
in the opposite direction
And that when the exhibition was
concluded he would add Is hands
gentlemen
Jogging to the covert continues the
writer you may notice one fine horse
the owner fully equipped throwing its
head up and down like a pump handle
another sweating profusely although
the pace has not exceeded five miles
an hour since it left the stable ami a
third snorting aud prancing about all
over the place
Why Is this so Simply because the
rider of neither of them is possessed
with the divine gift of hands
THE BEES STING
An Ugly Weapon Something Like a
Three Bladed Sword
The bees sting is made up of three
separate lances each with a barbed
edge and each capable of being thrust
forward independently of the others
The central aud broader lance has a
hollow face furnished at each side
with a rail or beading which runs its
whole length On the back of each of
the other two lances there is a longi
tudinal groove and into these grooves
fit the raised headings of the central
lancet
Thus the sting is like a sword with
three blades united but sliding upon
one another tho barbed points of
which continue to advance alternately
Into the wound going ever deeper and
deeper of their own malice afore
thought after the initial thrust is
made It is a device of war com
pared to which the explosive bullet is
but a clumsy brutality Yet this is not
all
To make Its death dealing powers
doubly sure this thorough minded ama
zon must fill the haft of her triple
blade with a subtle poison and so con
trive its sliding mechanism that the
same impulse which drives the points
successively forward drenches the
whole weapon with a fatal juice

The Weather House
A very ingenious contrivance for
foretelling the weather is the old fash
ioned weather house largely made
in Switzerland It is arranged iu such
a way that two figures act in response
to the twisting of a piece of catgut
The material supported by a wire con
trols the movements of a little plat
form on either end of which is placed
a model Excessive moisture in the air
causes the catgut to twist and turn the
platform round so that the man
emerges from one of the doors in the
front of the house Reverse conditions
of the atmosphere bring about the con
traction of the catgut and the plat
form swings back thus bringing the
figure of the woman into prominence

CARDS IN CHURCH
They Were Not Uncommon In the Old
Days In England
Frequent cases of card playing oc
curred In churches in olden days In the
high or curtained family pews that
were to be found in several parts of
England
A case of card playing was men
tioned by the poet Crabbe as having
occurred In one of those pews in Trow
bridge parish church Mr Beresford
nope stated that card playing was not
uncommon in churches having cur
tained pews where those occupying
them were screened from tho observa
tion of the rest of the congregation
and that one of the Georges is credit
ed with taking part at a game of whist
in the church lie attended
The church nt Little Stanmore in
Middlesex has a luxurious room pew
which is approached by a special door
and staircase
The old St Pauls cathedral before
the great fire of London was used by
business men as a sort of exchange
The portico was let out to hucksters
and in those days gambling and cards
are botli said to have been indulged

Outwitting a Bushranger
In Mr George E Bozalls Story of
the Australian Bushrangers the fol
lowing little episode is related A man
named Michael who went to an inn
for food found tho place iu the hands
of the bushrangers Fourteen guests
were already disarmed and were being
searched in order Michael was com
pelled to take his place in line The
bushrangers handed him a pannikin of
tea before they took his money Know
ing what was coming he held the pan
nikin as if the tea were too hot to
drink and when the leader of the
highwaymen was looking away drop
ped his roll of bank notes into it no
stood quite quiet and when the bush
rangers came to feel his pockets there
were only a few shillings in them
The robbers appeared satisfied and al
lowed him to go ne carried his pan
nikin out with him took his money
and put it in his pocket without being
observed Then he mounted his horse
rode to the nearest police station aud
gave information
Her Indorsement
Madam said the teller of a bank
in Baltimore to a woman who had
handed him a check to cash madam
you have forgotten to indorse
A worried smile came to the wo
mans face but she took back the pa
per and wrote something on the back
thereof
When again the teller looked at the
check he found that the woman had in
dorsed as follows
The bank has always paid me
whatever it owed and you need have
no worry Therefore I indorse this
check Very truly yours Anna M
