A Chicago man appeared at the

Kinley administration with a petition
containing 7.000 names recoramending
bini for appointmenkas Brazilian min
ister. He was a picture framer, and
when he was canvassing for orders he
tool; ulong his petition and asked
everybody in the picture frame busi
ness to sign it. Almost everybody did.
The man was insistent. and finally,
reached the president.- Always gentle
and considerate. President McKinley
explained to the candidate that he
would have to consult the illinois sen
ators and representatives about the
matter before making the appointment.
'Tod know;" said the president, "we
have to-select big men for these big
p"aces." 1.

if I get the job?"-Philadelphia Satur
