William Henry Harrison hie First Presidential Candidate on the Stump. (Boston Globe.) It was important to have for run ning mate to Mr. Taf t a spellbinder, insomuch as the President's heir is, on -the stump, no match for his probable opponent. Governor Guild would have proved ideal in this re spect. But Sherman is no amateur, and no doubt will be required to bear the brunt of the oratorical contest impending, for it is not unlikely that Mr. Taft, warned by his Memorial Day experiences, may choose to avoid formal speeches during the cam paign, as did his illustrious prede cessors, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The latter so the Federalists said, could not talk if he wanted to. Even when elected, instead of addressing Congress in person, as his prede cessors had done, he sent it a written message because, as his opponents charged, he was incapable of mak ing a speech. Neither Madison nor Monroe went on the stump, and John Quincy Adarns was so reluctant to make an appeal for vote3 that he even "re fused to contradict campaign slan ders about himself. No man was ever more bitterly assailed than andrew Jackson when he first ran for President. He was excoriated personally and abused politically, but, although, he doubt less would have liked to silence his slanderers with a pistol shot, he maintained a diginfied silence, so exalted was his opinion cf the office to which he aspired. During his sec ond campaign he was again bitterly assailed, but made no reply, leaving that task for his supporters. Van Buren, silent in two cam paigns, as candidate of the Demo crats, was also silent when he ran on the free soil ticket. According to Charles M. Harvy, of The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the first candidate for President to appear on the stump was Wiliiam Henry Harrison. He is said to have been effectively humorous. Lincoln was one of his boomers, too, but had not then attained any distinction as a politician or orator. Harrison spoke in Dayton, Cleveland, Indian apolis and Vincennes. Polk kept in the background dur ing his canvass, and his opponent, refused many appeals to take the stump. He wrote letters, though, and one of them, that on Texan an nexation, cost him the prize he coveted. Heat prostrates the nerves.

(Scrlbers Magazine.) Vital as is the physical side of con serving youth, however, its true fountain is in the brain. If we maintain activety of its cells it quick ens the circulation of the blood, the vital organs, gives light to the eyes, preserves the suppleness of the body, removes to a distance illness, age, death itself. Remember the lesson of the bi cycle, how the laboring man and the busy housikeeper, ready to drop from the day's work, would go for a spin and return, after an hour's ex ercise of those same weary leg mus cles, rested. Body ache is often nothing but brain rust. "lie looks much older than he is," said Von Moltke of a fellow-officer, "he has used his body more than his mind." Age was to the French wo man of the salons no excuse for dull ness. To the very last one must be pointed, animated, alert. Because an age has come when ordinarily the crust of custom begins to incase our free spirits is exactly the reason for keeping them elastic. One of the mo3rremarkable things in the career of Dr. Richard Storrs was that by far the greatest portion of that career was after he had pass ed the age of fifty. The Duke of Marlborough began his career as a great commander in 1702, when he was fifty-two years old. Lord Lynd hurst on the eve of his eighty-ninth birthday made a brilliant speech in Parliament. Sophocles wrote his masterpiece at eighty. Goethe fin ished "Faust" in his eighty-second year., Alfieri began Greek at forty seven, and at fifty -four mastered it.

Mr. Taft's habit of using plain language to subordinates occasion ally got him into hot water when he was governor of the Philippines. One day he had occasion to take to task the officials of a province in which there had been considerable trouble. Shaking his finger at them he said angrily: "If you cannot keep better orden than you have been keeping, your heads will go off!" The horrified Filipinos shrank back in alarm and felt nervously at their throats. Mr. Taft could not re strain himself at their horror-stricken countenances, and burst into a hearty laugh. Then proceeded to explain that the term he had em ployed was only an Americanism, and that their official and not their phy sical heads were in danger. The Republican nominee is very, very human, and not entirely averse to the wile3 of flattery. A mother once called upon him to urge the granting of a commission for her son. asking him to wavie a slight physical obstacle to the appointment. His mental qualifications are so high that I am inclined to do as you ask," replied Mr. Taft. The mother, of course, was de lighted. In her ecstasy she ex claimed: "Oh, Mr. Secretary, you are not half as fat as they say you are." The Secretary smiled broadly. Alter that, ne saia your uoy Taft's father, who was a judge of the Superior Court in Cincinnatti' used to have a stock phrase about n:s ooy, vViiiiam Howard, it was "Mediocrity won't do for Willie." lie would reiterate this whenever opportunity presented. As there were three other sons, it would seem that some little jealousy might have been caused by the father's express ion cf preference, but as a matter of fact this was not the case. All the other boys were inclined to agree with this view of "Wiiiie," and one of them has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars to bring about his nomination. Quick Belief for Asthma Sufferers.

Once soon after a circus had pass ed our way, all. the boys in the country school began industriously to learn to turn hand-springs. It was pretty easy for a part of us, but some of the fellows had a hard time J in learning. Among tho39 who al ways came down on their backs in stead of their feet was Johnnie Mar row. After two weeks of hard practice and constant failure, Johnnie con cluded that it was not his fault at ail, but that the ground wa3 too low. He was sure his arms were springy enough, but when he brought his hands down to the eround his head was so low that he had little chance to get his feet over in time to light right. Therefore, Johnnie decided to try an elevation, ne cnmDea into a wagon, took the end-gate out, and made a run; planning to put hu hands down within six inches of the end of the wagon bed, turn in the air, and light nearly on the ground with his feet. Instead, however, he missed the end of the wagon box about six inches and lit nearly on his head. After we had rubbed him and poured water on him until he came to, he sat up, felt the top of his head, and muttered: "Guess I knocked a little sense in to you, anyway." I have seen some fellows do like Johnnie mere ways than one. A fellow is not doing any good, and concludes that it is the town's fault. "I'm a bright boy," he thinks; "There's nothing wrong with me. The reason I am not doing anything is because the town is too little and dull." So. he takes a run and jumps mto a bier town ana lanas on nis head instead of hia feet. Every once in a while a fellow takes a notion that he is entirely too good to associate with the people around home. They are too plain and common to suit him; he is made of finer stuff. So he takes a run and jumps for the pool where he thinks all the big hsn swim, lie lights on his head, and his friends have to pull him out to keep him from drown ing. It is surely all right for a fellow to want to gat up higher; but he cannot do it by climbing into band wagons, crowing from high stnmps, and jumping into big towns. TT! r aii a finla V - - y-v 4- anything worth while it is safe for him to lay the blame on himself , and not on nis neighbors, the town, or his opportunities. Unless a fellow makes good where he lives, there is very little show for him anywhere else. The big doctors, the states men, the great preachers, the sue cessf ul merchants, nearly all started in little towns, and did so well they attracted attention and were called to the city. If you want to do anything, drill yourself until you can do it, instead of giving it up and laying the blame on your chances; then when you re ready to leap into a new place, you will light on your ieet instead of your head.
