Va., By Consolidated Press. CLARKSBURG, W. Va. July 14— right for his brother’s mess of pot- tage, trading “good” for “better” or “worse” has been the unquestioned privilege and aim of man. If John | W. Davis ever becomes President of | he'll lay it to the first trade he ever made—and a souvenir lucky horseshoe taken from | the pony companion of his twelve- | year-old days When Dorse Cork found himself | standing in 3d street some forty | years ago, clutching the halter of a| Jersey heifer, while John Davis van- ished up the hill to his father's place on the back of the pony with which Dorse had sworn he never would part. | Cork prophesied that John “would be a great man some day.” His eloquence would win, he said. Saved Shoe For Luck. After the pony was outgrown and 80ld John tucked one of itg shoes into his shirt front, claiming it would bring him luck. Nailed to the wall of his Clarksburg room. he says. it has played a large part in the “why” of Davis, the legislator, congressman, ambassador and presidential nominee. It never left its place of honor until the convention opened in New York recently, when it journeyed to Davis headquarters—too precious to be left even so far away in the second big- gest fight of Davis’ life. The “old timers” who were men when Davis was a boy are in clover down in Clarksburg. i “Do_vou remember’ way back when John W., a husky baby, used to roll down to my carpenter shop with his sister. Nan to watch me work, and hang_shavin ‘curls’ over his ears?” old Tom Tinsman wants to know. And if any one does not, Tom chuckles in superiority and figures that other fellows can be no good at all.

Davis, is said to have been a strict man and his mother a most charming and in- tellectual woman. John learned his first Latin verbs when, in rompers on his mother's lap, she taught him to repeat her words. Didn’t Play With Boys. John's youngest years were divided between school lessons taught by his mother in the family living room and play with his three sisters, Nan, Em- ma and Lilly, and the dogs which guarded the house. He never ven- tured to the streets to play with other boys. That would have been undignified—and was against his fatiter's rules. The boys, George Duncan, Hugh Jarvis, Earl Vance and Dorse Cork, Who latter were his special pals, mel- dom saw him then except as he, im- maculately dressed, sat in_a stiff- backed chair on the porch of the big | yellow house, reading_literary books | or_studying Latin and Greek.

Dorse “minds himself” how he used to watch enviously while John on the pony that had once been his, directed the old negro Gabe on how' to drive the cows to pasture. For his father's hobby was raising fine cattle. And now and asain John's eloquence would win Gabe's permission to take a horse down to Bud Siers to be shod.
