that Robert received most of bis early ed
ucation. He went to the public school,
where he made a record as a student, but
was noted ns a trouble maker for the
teachers. A few years later, when the
family moved to Peoria, Ills., Robert
speedily made a reputation as a speaker.
It was while he was living in Peoria that
he and his brother Ebeneier were admit
ted to the bar.
At the outbreak of the war he enlisted,
and as he had taken an active part in
recruiting a regiment he was made colo
nel of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry.
During the war he changed his politics,
and when he returned to Peoria in 1804
he publicly Joined the Republican party.
Two years later he was appointed attor
ney general of Illinois.
His fume as an orator was becoming
national by this time, and nt the national
Republican convention in 1876 he waB
chosen to make the speech nominating
Blaine. He did it, and in his address
gnvc life to the phrase "plumed knight,"
which was made u campaign cry.
As a reward for his work in the cam
paign he was offered tho position of min
ister to Germany, but refused It.
Shortly after this he moved to Wash
ington, which he made his home for some
time. Later he came to New lork city,
where ho had since lived.

You know how tiring It is to climb tip

the cbnnces nre that you liuvc never
given the 1nm conductor u thought, nl
thougli lie prolinbly cllinbs more stairs
than nny other indlvldunl in the world,
snys the New York Telegram. An
obliging London bus conductor bus
gone into t lie mutter, nml, being nn
iidept nt figures, ns the majority of litis

following interesting facts:
"There nre," lie snid, "nine steps from

it is rather underrating It to say that I
climb that Might of steps 12 times nn
hour during the 15 hours I am on duty
every diiv; 20 would be nearer the mn i k.
but to be on the snfc side we will put it
down ns 12.
"Nine steps at 12 times nn hour, 15
hours a day, seven days n week, makes
the nice little total of 11,340 a week,
45,31)0 n month or 5P0,fiS0 a yenr. The
number of times I step off the bus nnd

In the ordinary course of life brings the

FISHING OFF A MAN-OF-WAR.

Which Raised a Row Anions

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board a mun-of-wnr are wont to ply the
gentle art (w ith a line alone) from over

sublieutenant, who was not particular
ly liked by his juuior messmates, was
one day so engaged, when a midship
man, seeing the Hue depending from
the "chains" above, reached out of one
of the muln deck ports nnd gave It a
couple of violent tugs, in imitation of a
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
nlucrity, but of course with no result
Once aguin the "sub" essayed to catch
this bir fish thnt lind riven him so
heavy a bite, says Cornhiil Magazine,
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting a companion to
keep theVecessury strain upon the
upper portion, he linuled tip the lower
part of the fishing line nncT attached to
the hooks nn old shoe, an empty bottle,
a holy stone and a sardine tin. Having'
carefully lowered these to the full ex
tent of the line, he gave k n more pow
erful pull thnn ever, and the expect
ant fisherman nbove hauled in as fast as,
be could, hand over hand. But his lan'
gunge when he discovered the nature of
his "catch" is too much to nsk even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
cold type.
