i SNAPSHOTS AT CELEBRITIES Congressman William B. Mc Kinley of Illinois. A - very busy man is Congressman William Brown McKinley. chairman of the Republican congressional cam paign committee. On Mr. McKlnley's shoulders largely rests the responsi bility of electiug a sufficient uumber of Republicans to insure a majority in the Sixty-second congress. Of course the candidates must put their shoul ders to the wheel, but Mr. McKinley la general director and adviser of the various campaigns, especially in dis tricts looked upon us doubtful. Con fident In his party's success at the polls, the hustling chairman at the same time is taking no chances and until November will be steadily on the Job. Congressman McKinley represents the Nineteenth Illinois district and is serving his third term. He is said to be oue of the most popular members of the house.

This was to Jump out of the window into the courtyard, a distance of fif teen feet below. The boy did It and providentially did not break any bones, but the shock was so great that he slept afterward for eighteen hours. Nothing caused Tolstoy the boy more annoyance about this time than the kuowledge that he was very plain fea tured. To be revenged on nature he determined to make himself stilt uglier and with this end In view cut off his ybrows Strand. . Mr. Lloyd cf Missouri. Full of confldeucf t hese days is Con tsiaaB James TlbJxaan Llo-d .o? , . Missouri, manager of ibe Democratic coiip.rossion.iI campaign. Optimism fairly radiates from the director of ihe Demo ratic canvass, and in IVis view i lie battle is all over but the shouting, rully believing that this is n Democratic year. Mr. Lloyd is forc ing the tight iu every district where, his opponents seem to show weakness. The task of conducting a congressional campaign is vastly more complicated thau i hut of running a presidential canvass, because instead "of one tight JAMES T. tiliOTD. there are scores of contests to be look ad after.

Another harness racing season is about to pass by, and once more the honors are being shotvered us Ed (Jeers, tin- grand old man of the sulky. The run iug turf has had its Garri sons. 11 j daredevil Fitzpatricks. its Isaac Mnrphys and its Tod Sloanea watteivil through all the years, but not cue remained in harness as long as (leers. The grand old- man of the sulky for thirty years has been a daring and success i'u 1 driver on the grand circuit and is hi ill. if not actually in harness, niau!ru!;tting the reins with greater skill thin any of his younger rivals. (Jeers' style-of driving is peculiarly his own. No other man has ever been seen who exercised such control over his horses with so little apparent ef fort, lie sits immovable in the sulky, no matter what the crisis, never rais ing bis hands, spreading his arms, bracing himself by. lying back In his seat or in any way showing the em ployment of any particular physical force. Only on rare occasions does he touch his horse with the whip, and then with mere taps, even in an eye lash finish. Russia to Bar American Horses. Russia is considering the question of barring American bred horses. The question involves the breeding as well as the racing end of the game. Ever since the Russians took up light har ness racing there have been two fac tious, one demanding that breeding and racing be restricted to only horses carrying Russian blood, while the oth er faction, included in which are some of the largest breeders, feel that the Infusion of American blood will tend to improve the speed and stamina of the native Orloff trotter. Pitchers the Things,' Says Cooney. Phil Cooney declares that nothing but pitchers can win pennants in mi nor leagues. "Up to the big timber two or three extraordinary hitters can sometimes'- pull a team through, just as Cobb and Crawford have done for , Detroit, but that Is the big exception to the rule even up there. In the mi nor leagues the rule is pretty nearly Inevitable that the team with the strongest pitching staff will win out. Build your team around your pitchers and If you have your share of baseball luck you'll win." Hutchinson Likes Our Golf Courses.
