HOMER DAVENPORT. Ths new of the death of Homer Davenport remove th moat gifted cartoonist of hi generation. Th first time in America that a political campaign was greatly Influenced by cartoons was In 1114 when Thomas Naat pictured Jame O . Blaine a 'The Tattooed Man." The Democrats used those cartoon and thay contri buted much to the defeat of Mr. Blaine. It remained, however, for Mr. Davenport to create the missive cartoon that waa th beginning of the general use of the massive politi cal cartoon that now constitute an Important part of aay political cam paign. Hla creation of Mark Haana In lilt waa th work of a genius and gav Davenport a national character. Later he was employed by Republi can paper to draw cartoons, but th punit aig aot appreciate them so well While a writer lose nothing in stand ing by tranfrlng from a Republican to a Democratic paper, or aha oppo site, the people see th nam of a cartoonist oa hla work and fesl that he believe th truth hi picture peak, and Davenport lost a large measure of popular confidence when tha folk got th Idea that hi pan waa tor hire and that back of hi picture there waa no real faith. From early boyhood Davenport apent hi Urn drawing whan hi fath er wina him to be working on the farm. He waa a born cartoonist and had ao rival. We shall aot aoon look upon hi Ilk again.

It was 'W welcome them with bloody hen da to hospitable graven' "That teniae oe ka pesssd late his tory . It I practically tha on thing by which Tom Corwln I remembered. The word wore used by him In a very brilliant speech which 'he mad In th United Btats Senate In lt ia oppo sition to the war with Mexico. He wanted Congress to withhold appro priations ao that the money supplls would bo cut off aad it wauld be Im pose! ble to aend an army to M ex loo. He used th expression to represent th sentiment of Mexican on the creating of American over the Mexi can border.' "Prom that day forth I took the liveliest sort of Interest In th career of Tom Corwla as member of Con greaa, Oovernor of Ohio. United Ptatea Senator, Cabinet officer.

Sabln Bartng-Oould about fifty years ago wrote "Onward Chris tian Soldiers," which 1 without a peer aa a processional hymn, and although originally written for children, to none tha lea Inspiring to every Christian.

Bridge School, over which I was th Ourato, wore Invited to attend. A th place of the celebration waa aome distance away, I thought it would be an excel lent plan to have my children march to the singing of an appropriate and stirring hymn. I could find nothing In the hymn nor song books that was auttable and from necessity I waa compelled to sit down on the Saturday evening preceding the celebration and compose this processional hymn. It was written In a very simple faahloo without a thought of publication. It was written In great haste, and noth ing ha surprised me more thaa It great popularity." The spirited music written for It by Sir Arthur Sullivan ha doubtlea add ed to the enthusiasm and heartiness with which It la alwaya aung. Barlng-Oould, a minister of the Church of Kngland, was born In Exe ter, Devonshire, January II, 1114, and waa graduated from Clara Col lage twenty year later.

Aa amusing story Is told of thl hymn. A certain low church vtaar waa thoroughly oppoeed to ail out ward symbolisms. On one occasion tbe children of hi school were to march In procotslon and "Onward, Christian Soldier" was the hyma se lected to ba ming. To add to the reel lam, the choirmaster desired to have a cross carried la front of the little company, but thla the good vicar pos itively refused to permit Wlahlnc to hav th hymn a literally- true as poewiDie, and to get even with the vicar, the choirmaster changed . th last line of th first stanza, and th children started off. lustily singing: Onward.
