Spectacular Demonstrations in Presiden- tlal Campaigns. The first time that there were any demonsirations of a spectacular order {n a presidential campaign was in 1840, when ature log cabins were drawn on wagons in the Whig processions, escorted by companies of men in coon- skin , and some in the garb of In- dians, all of which were suggested by the early lf+ of the candidate, William Henry H son. Companies of men @ressod as pioneers appeared in the Fremont processions in the campaign of 1856, and ‘ e schooners’ were a feature of those demonstrations, filus- trating phases ia life of the Path- finder of the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas. In 1869 the Republicans had ecmpanics of rail-splitters, to repre- sent Lincoln in one of his activities as @ young men on the frontier. The most feturesque aad distinctive feature of the Republican parades in that year, uowever, were the “Wideawakes.” This order gimated in Hartford, Conn., as not suggested by Lincoln’s candidacy, for one of the Hartfard deawake” clubs was forined before Lincoln wag nominated and escorted him to one of the halls in that city, where he made a speech, on his visit to the east in February, 1860. At that time Seward’s nomination was be- Meved, in the eastern states, to be ines- timable. The “Wideawake” idea quick- ly spread allover the north after the -gomination of Lincoln and Hamlin in May of that year, and it is estimated were more than 200,000 akes” in the free states in that canvass. In the canvass in 1880 tluba cf Boys in Blue were formed to commemorate Garfield’s service in the panion army, and in one procession in New York, which was reviewed by General Grant, over 50,000 participants ‘ef this’ order appeared. It was the Yargest procession on cither side seen anywhere in the United States in the ranvass of 1880: All these campaign climbs, except the “Wideawakes” and the Boys in Blue, originated in the west, and, with the exception of these ‘wo orders, by far the largest of the processions took place in the west— “MEW TOOL CHES1 Me. Fulton Street,’ of Prooklyn, went home one night last weck, followed by a small boy wao staggeyiug under the weight of something wrapped up in heavy brown wrapping paper, which he carried on his shoulder. Mrs. Fulton Street was, of course, curious to know what was in the bundle, so, after dismissing the youth with a dime as compensation, Mr. Fulton Street swelled up a bit and said: “1 believe you said it would eost $1 a win- dow to have those curtains put up, my dear.” “Yes,” said Mrs. Fulton Street. “And that the carpenter wanted §2 to put up some shelves in the hall.” “Yes.” “And that a chest for the baby’s toys and one for the linen and other jobs around here would cost $10 more.” “That’s what the man said,” replied Mrs. Fulton, falteringly. “Well,” said Mr. Fulton Street, “it won’t cost any more than the price of the material to have any of the work done. I will do it.” “Why, you haven’t a tool to your name, and if you had you couldn’t—” began Mrs. Fulton Street, but her husband inter- rupted her. “Tush, tush, ray dear,” he said, “the tools are here. That’s what I’ve brought home. I shall do this work on Sunday, and if there is anything else you would like to have at- tended to, just let me know. I always was fond of puttering around the house, and the only reason I never done more of it was be- cause I never had the tools.” So impatient was Mr. Fulton Street to get to work on Sunday morning, that he got ap as early as on week days and started in at once on those hall shelves. Strips and planks had been sent up at his order from a lumber yard. Mr. Fulton Street helped himself to one long plank and tried to fit it in the space over the ice box where the shelves were to go. It wouldn’t fit. Mr. Fulton Street sawed a piece off, but made it too small. “Mrs, Street,” he called, in a voice whieh trembled a little, but was still under con- trol, ‘‘please bring me your tape measure.” “Why, Fulton, | haven’t one,” called Mra. Street. “Haven't a tape measure, eh? Weli, how, in the world do you suppose I’m going to shelves up without a tape meas- me a piece of string, then.” at the string de careful meas- 1 he nailed up two strip: ere’s one self up,” ne said. Fulton Street looked ¢ at do you take me for if would hold a hundred Why, I can sit on it elf,” and Hulton Street actually gave a little jump from tue chair on which Le was operating and landed on the shelf. He came down like a ton of brick on top of the ice box, his tro -s full of splinters and a cut on his head where the hammer had hit him, as the six : pe demand e F What Mr. Fulton Street said of this ca- amity need not be repeated. The gist of i: was that a woman who would deliberately trick her huband into sitting on a shelf in order to enjoy the speetacle of his falling, end would then laugh at him as he lay in jured on the floor, was just the sort of a weman,whko wouldn’t have a tape measure in the house when it was needed. In the end of it all it was the absence of the tape measure that was responsible for the weak- ness of the shelf. Mrs. Fulton Street diplo- matically admitted this herself. The restoration of peace was followed by the announcement from Mr. Fulton Street that he would not tackle the shelves again until he could get a tape measure. Mrs. Ful- ton Street suggested that he put up the cur- tain poles. Mr. Fulton Street said that he would do it. “And here’s where the beauty of the brace comes in,” said Mr. Street, who was now quite restored in temper. ‘*Watch me bore a hole,” and he reached into the tool chest and got out the necessary imple ments. Mr. Street bored a hole three sizes tov large for the largest screw that he had, so he had to bore another. Mrs. Street sug- gested that it got a lot of sawdust on the parlor carpet, whereupon Mr Street turneé around suddenly to say something ver? sharp abuxt women who annoyed men whea they were trying to save money. He made such a quick turn that he lost his grip on the brace, and it fell on a table yeneath. It hit a lamp and the lamp in falling hit the baby, who had been watching the amateur mechanic with eyes full of won- der and admiration. The baby let out a piercing shriek, and Mrs. Fulton Street followed suit. Mr Street came down the ladder in such a hurry that he lost his footing and fell in a heap on the floor. There he sat while Mrs. Fulton Street, who had discovered a slight bruise on the baby’s head, where the edge of the lamp had struck, called him a murderer and indulged in other p!:asantries. When tears 1 followed Mrs. Fulton Street's indignation, according to the inev- itable rule of things, Mr. Street got a turn, and he used the few moments allowed to him to great advantage. Condensed his argument was, that if he had been let alone no harra wouuld have been done, and that by that time the curtain would have been waving gracefully from the pole. The wealth of sarcasm was not wasted on Mrs. Fulton Street. She retired to her own room where she spent the next hour rubbing witch-hazel on the baby’s head and telling it things about its father quite unfit for publication. Meanwhile Mr. Fulton Street retired to the dining-room where he attempted fo shift the blade of the plane, despite the instructions of the man who sold to him the tool chest, not to touch it. He cut his hand, but rather than bave Mrs. Fulton Street know of the accident he wrapped it up in a napkin and proceeded to plane the edge of the drawer. The blade, an inch of which was now ex- posed, got a good grip on the edge of the drawer and when Mr. Fulton Street gave a vigorous shove it bit out a strip a half an inch wide and three feet long. Mr. Ful ton Street made no comments on the situa- tion. He quietly opened the window and hurled the offending tool far into a neigh- bor’s backyard. Then he closed the tool- chest and took it down into his bin in the cellar, and there it has remained ever since, and there it will remain unless some one comes along that would like to buy it. Mrs. Fulton Street has never mentioned the subject since, but on Monday she got a carpenter, who did all the work that Mr. Fulton Street essayed to do in than an hour and Mr. Street paid_the bill without a murmur. A few days later she found a re- ceipted bill for $22 for a toolchest in Mr. Fulton's pocket, and ske is holding it against (salie's Weeklv. ‘paged nr the day when Mr, Street period ¢ ec! ¥. Stu. ST ‘ A small, weather-siained, clapboarded church with shingled spire, standing in an old-fashioned village on an island in Lake Superior, was burned the other day. Its money value was proUably less than $500, but it was visited every year by thousands of tourists, and the uéws of its destruction was cabled to the old. world. There were logs in the structure that were blessed by Father Marquette nearly 240 years ago, and inside, above the altar, a copy of Ru- bens’ “Descent from the Cross,” which he had brought into the wilderness, and which had been viewed with awe and veneration by, eight generations of Chippewa Indians and French Catholics. And there were crumbling, yellow parish records in ald French, over which Parkman, the _his- torian, puzzled for months when getting material for his great series of histories. All gone now in a puff of smoke, smaller than that of many a council fire, that, in the old days, had trailed away over Gitchee Gaumee and the forest crowned headlands and sheltered bays of the Apostle islands! When Columbus was dying in poverty and neglect in Valladolid, Spain, in 1506, a great Indian tribe, the Ojibwas, was al- most exterminated by the Iroquois near Lake Ontario. he remnant flew west and north on foot and in canoes, and stopped only when they found a refuge in the clus- ter of wild islands on the southern shore of Lake Superior. Here, on Chequamegan bay, they lit the council fire of their na- tion. A hundred years later they had grown strong and driven back the Sioux, and were in possession of all the lake coun- try about the headwaters of Superior and the Mississippi. In 1665 Father Allouez, a Jesuit missionary, came over with a party of couriers du bois, French fur trappers and traders, and established the Mission of the Holy Ghost in the Indian village ; which the French called La Pointe. A year or so later, Pere Marquette followed (Father Allouez going to a new station on Green Bay), and built the little chapel of logs in the woods above the most populous and prosperous village in all the vast re- gion peopled by the Ojibwas. In 1669 he was back in Mackinac, in 1671 he went across the wild rice lands of north- western Wisconsin, through the Ojibwa country, and explored the upper Mississip: | pi. In 1673 he established a mission among | He does not believe it necessary for the Illinois Indians west of Chicago. In 1675 he died in Michigan while on his way back to Mackinac. The Ojibwas always spoke of him as a spirit and, after he had gone from them, took eare of his little | chapel, the sacred picture and the rude font and communion service, though they fell away from his teachings. A quarter of a cen- | tury after his death they abandoned the | Apostle islands for the mainland. Later, in the eighteenth century, a fur trading post was built at La Pointe by the French, and to them came Father Baraga, who found Marquette’s chapel in the woods, with the Rubens over the altar. There he said mass and gathered about him the French settlers and the remnant of the Ojibwas. He built a larger church, inclos- ‘ng the old one, and later died as bishop of Sault Ste. Marie and was buried in the cathedral beside the ashes of the Apostle of the Wilderness. Madeline island of to-day is a wilderness almost as virgin as when Pere Marquette’: canoe first glided into Chequamagon bay. When the lodges were taken down and ‘the trading post with its high palisades and fur warehouses disappeared, the Indians, in dwindled ranks, retired to their reserva- tion set apart by the government, the halt French, half Indian town slipped down to the water’s edge, and the inhabitants sat with folded hands and half-shut eyes, and watehed the summer fleets go by. The pines and birches and wild blackberry vines crept up to the once busy streets, the vil- lage cattle browsed on the common and the historic chapel stood apart, above the town on an eminence overlooking Ashland and Bayfield on the mainland. Should you visit the spot to-day you would see a heap of charred wood where the church stood so long, surrounded by a stunted growth of silver birches and wild blackberry vines forming, with the help of a rude fence, a sort of hedge; within the enclosure a graveyard, the headstones fallen and broken, and the inscriptions filled witb moss or wholly obliterated. The little church’ was never closed day or night. A priest who spoke English and French and Chippewa (the modern pronun- ciation of Ojibwa) lived near and was al- ways ready to show the sacred picture, the parish records in their glass case, and the communion service and vestments from France and Austria whence Father Baraga came. And if a tourist lingered for an hour he.was sure to see an Indian glide into a canoe, say a prayer and depart—or hear a parishioner question the priest in French. The island lies in roadstead to Ash- land, Bayfield aud Washburn, and all sum- er long steamers and freighters pass its ores, 80 close that the villagers can read the names on the sides. Now and then a pleasure boat draws up to the old wharf of the fur traders, and discharges a crowd of sightseers. But the greater number go by, leaving the forest-covered rolling up- lands of the “Queen of the Apostles” be- hind, with its quaint little French-Indian town lying neglected and weatherbeaten |MARQUETTE'SCHAPEL | j level or below it would afford suffi- | Four own will not help you to find an FAVORS MARCONI SYSTEM, Jpecial Commission in Grent Britain to Urge the Adoption of Wire- less Telegraphy.

Torpedo Boat Builder Thornycroft, of England, Says It Is of Little Use. Mr. Thornycroft, England’s torpedo boat builder, has been expressing in- teresting opinions on submarine boats, Great Britain to build submarine boats, even if the experiments of oth- er nations have been quite successful, We is carefully studying the problem ef devising a submarine destroyer should it ever be necessary. He re- gards the-American submarine boat as the best type yet made. But he doubts its efficacy, even for harbor defense. “A shell dropped in the neighbor hood of a submarine boat,” said Mr. Thornycroft, “and exploded either cient shock to crumple up the boat. Possession of a submarine boat of enemy's. They are at present of too limited range and insufficient propell- ing power to be really a serious factor and the unsatisfied problem of keep- ing a level keel under water is yet to be solved. If I ever have to go under water with a submarine boat I will prefer to sit outside.” In spite of the pessimistic opinions of Mr. Thornycroft the British ad- miralty has at last decided to grant a submarine boat designed by J. E. Howard, of Tasmania, an official trial, FACTORY GIRL WEDS RICHES, Sen of Connecticut Millionaire Mace ries a Bridgeport Mill Operative, Joseph Backingham Canfield, son of H. O. Canfield, the wealthy owner of the Canfield Rubber works, has chosen as his bride Miss Maie Kathryn Don- nell, who until recently worked hard for her living in the factory of Burns, Silver & Co., at Bridgeport, Conn. The fashionable set in which Canfield moves is shocked, but the young people are not troubled. Mr. Canfield, Sr., was seriously disturbed at first, but the young man took Miss Donnell to his house and introduced her to his par- ents. She won them instantly and Mr, Canfie'd told his son he could have made no better choice. Miss Donnell is 24 years old and a beautiful brunette. She was left au orphan one year agoand promptly be- gan to make her own living. She and young Canfield met one day as she was on her way to the mill and the next day he sought an introduction. Soon his friends of the exclusive Seaside slub were dumfounded to see him driving out with the factory girl in his earriage. They joked with him fora time, but soon saw that he was too serious to be trified with. at the foot of the single cleared slope of land, once the harbor of refuge of a great tribe of Indians, a place of council fires, a fur metropolis, the farthest outpost of the old world’s religion. The greater part of Madeline island has reverted again to the wilderness, and gives up its trophies to rod and gun. It is diffi- cult to imagine that 200 years ago the shel- tered lodges of the Ojibwa tribe stood by hundreds along the heights. - Then the birch bark and skin-lined streets were filled with careless couriers du bois, dusky maids reveling in French beads and prints, dig- nified chiefs in deer skin and feathers, med- icine men, naked brown babies and smoke- dried squaws. Loiterers gathered where beaver skins were being bought and chil- dren and dogs romped on the beach when the canoes of the hunters and ‘trappers came in. And always in the vision of the Madeline islands of old is the figure, black- sobed, pallid-faeed, standing in the midst of the motley throng and unrolling his copy of the old master. In a brief ten years he left throughout the great northwest an influence and tradition of , purity and holiness that have never died. The region still echoes his name, and the hearts of little children thrill when hearing of the simple courage and saintliness of this fragile priest who lived so serenely and securely among the savages in the wilderness.—Lit- tle Chronicle, Chicago.

Bird’s Efforts to Get Away with Ite Prey Is Frustrated—Fail to Bag the Eagle. While R. M. Dotson, an oil man, was driving from the oil field west of Lima, O., the other afternoon, he no- ticed a commotion among a flock of sheep or the Coon farm. He stopped to investigate and was surprised to see a large gray eagle with its claws fastened in the back of a sheep, with which it was trying to fly away. Mr. Dotson, who was unarmed, hastened to Coon’s house, secured a gun and returned with Coon. Just as | they got near enough to the eagle to shoot the bird released its hold on the sheep and started to fly away. Dot- son took a shot and the bird was slightly wounded, but continued its flight. The sheep-was found dead and several others were wounded. Mr. Dotson says the eagle measured fully ten feet from tip to tip. This is the first eagle seen in this section of the country for many years.
