Without a knowledge of Latin or Greek or algebra or trigonometry, he arose to the highest position within 'the gift of his state, but that was because he had made up his mind in his poverty-stricken youth that he was going to "amount to something," that would make his "folks" proud of him. To do this, however, he had to overcome hardships that would have caused one less stout-hearted to give up and sink into mediocrity.

In early youth he tried farming upon a government claim that he had "staked out," but his crops failed, suit was brought against him because he was not of age when he took up the claim, and his farm finally was wiped out. Then he sought to make a living by gathering buffalo bones on the western prairie, surely a humble occupation, and nearly starved. At various times order to keep alive he clerked in the village postoffice and in stores, but through it all he kept constantly before him his vision of "amounting to something." So he taught himself politics and by reason of his personal popularity, once he got started, arose to wealth and fame. LIABILITIES Dues and Dividends on stock $290,841.61 ASSETS First Mort.

Why, indeed, have statutes, and why not revert to a -condition of primeval lawlessness? How could we expect the old type of southerners to respect 4he Fifteenth amendment or anybody to respect the Eighteenth Amendment if it were a common thing for judges to approve either Tormally as in the above case, or inferentialiy as is often the case, the open and notorious disobedience of the written laws of the land?

The country of late has been incensed as seldom before by the "massacre at Herrin, 111., by the hideous murders at Mer Rouge, and Inmost as much by the flagrant action of mush-hcaded jurors in acquitting women murderers. These things tend to break down all laws, iiut not to such an extent as does their approval by those who are Jfchosen to uphold all laws. A Washington man has invented a "walking automobile" which he says is capable of going 81 miles an hour on the same principle 'that a man walks, all without the aid of wheels. A great many persons who have been walking in the recent cold weather because Xlheir cars would not run will welcome an automobile that walks.
