Poor young Wan . . Wins Hicb Bride Harry A. Parsons of Cleveland, whose engagement to Miss Mabel Han na, the elder daughter of Senator and Mrs. Hanna, has been officially an nounced by the Hannas in Washing ton, is more than n. gallant lover; he Is a diplomat. For even after he won the admiration and smites of Miss Hanna it was necessary for him to gain the confidence of Senator Hanna. To any one who knows anything about Mark Hanna nothing further need be said about the task the poor young clerk in the employ of her enormously rich papa had set himself. Mabel Hanna has been her father's Idol ever since she was old enough to lisp his name. Indeed the affection be tween father and daughter has been so noticeable that it is almost pahtetic. Always a delicate child, Mabel Hanna has been petted and cared for with a a passing fancy to and made his sec retary. The young fiance of Miss Mabel Han na is only another notable illustration of the success that can be obtained by a penniless American boy who has u determined chin, and Is stout of heart. It takes grit to approach Senator Han na with the question: May I be your son-in-law? .About two years ago he gniduuted from the New York School of Art and returned to his native city, where he obtained a position on an afternoon newspaper as an artist and cartoonist. He entered upon his duties in the early fall of 1900, Just as the memorable presidential campaign was warming up. Young Parsons, through his asso ciates on the paper, caught the feverish political spirit, and when Senator Hanna determined that his home city should make a good showing in the campaign for McKInley, called for vol unteers to organize the city into big marching clubs. Parsons voluteered to get together all the young republicans who were nbout to cast their first PRINCE HENRY'S LATEST PORTRAIT ml!'!'1''' Bfr B ' '.' '' I f'Uls!

Her health has been his greatest concern for years, and society in Cleveland says that both Mr. and Mrs. Hanna agreed several years ago that Mabel should never marry and that they would al ways keep her with them. Young Parson's victory can therefore be more keenly appreciated when It is realized that he has broken down the strong barrier constructed by a man who has ruled the great republican party for years and whose Iron will Is recognized as law by all who come In contact with him. In spring time, when the flowers and birds come back to the spacious grounds surrounding Senator Hanna's Cleveland home there will be a quiet wedding, and Mark Hanna will give away his little Mabel to the struggling artist, whom he took votes. The enthusiastic cartoonist had no motive in this service at the time, for he had never met Miss Hanna, and never dreamed that he ever would. With an energy really remarkable he Issued an address to the young repub licans requesting them to organize for the campaign. In two weeks he had 1,500 young men on the rolls of the First Voters' Republican club and with a speech that carried the young men off their feet he was elected president. At that meeting it was agreed that the young men should visit the home of Senator Hanna and offer him their best services. Two weeks later the 1,500 young men, clad in long overcoats, silk hats and gloves and rosettes, and carrying canes In military fashion, marched through the streets of the city with the precision of soldiers. At their head was young Parsons, handsome, debonaire, acknowledged by the Franklin Ice Cream and Dairy Co. Manufacturers of tlio finest quality of Main and Fancy ICE CREAM. ICES.

Silently the 1,500 marchers entered the spacious grounds of the senator In the evening and lined up in front of the vast house. There was a volley of fire works and a glare of red lights as the senator and his family stepped to the door to see what was happening and to be met by the young leader of the lusty organization, Harry A. Parsons. Standing in the glare of the red light, in view of every one, his face aglow with enthusiasm. Commander Parsons, in a clear, simple, almost eloquent speech presented to Senator Hanna the services of the entire 1,500 volunteers, declaring that every one was an or ganizer in himself and stood ready to carry the city for McKInley If the duty devolved upon them. Senator Hanna was visibly touched by the speech of the boy leader and the presence of the marchers. Turning to young Parsons, he grasped his hand warmly, and the young men gave three rousing cheers for the senator. When quiet was re stored. Senator Hanna thanked the boys for their delightful surprise and declared that as long as the republican party had such live recruits as these the fight was swift and sure.
