volt'a schemes to have Arobblahop
Ireland made a cardinal (or political
reasons are not of a character to in*
oreaae confidence In the presiient'a
methods of political manipulation,

It appears that the president used
Storer as a means of attempting to
Influence the pope In the.matter of
promoting Archbishop Ireland, and
now that the truth baa become known
the president finds himself In a eery
ernhamsaing position, lone which
subjects him to muoh^ severe criti
cism. While president of the United
States he had no right to Interfere
for or against the promotion of any
offloial of the Catholic or any other

The Man Ahead.
In every newspaper we pick up
we're sure to find a lot of gush about
tbe man behind the oounter and the
man behind the gun; the man behind
the buss sew and thee man behind
the eon; the man behind tbe times
and the man behind his rents; the
mau behind the plowshare ai/d tbe
man behind the fence; the muu be
hind the wblstio and tbe man behind
the cars; the man behind the kodak
and the man behind tbe bars; the
man behind his whiskers and the man
behind his fists; and every thing be
hind la entered on tbe list. But
they've skipped another fellow of
whom nothing baa been said—tbe fel
low who is even, rr a little way
•head; who pays for what he gets,
whose hills are always signed, bo's
• blamed sight more Important than
tha man who la behind. All wc edi
tors and merchants, and tbe whole
commercial clan arc Indebted for ex
istence to this honest fellow man.
Be keeps us all in business and his
town Is never dead; ao we take our
bate off to the man who la ahead.

(Original.] I
"The firm name was Shlrla A Shinn,"
Mld the retired hardware dealer, "and
we didn't get on from the atari I j
bad a good trade and waa obliged to
ty on tbe road moat of tbe time. Tbla
left the baying to my partnZr. Tha
trouble was that be wasn't any kind of
a buyer. If a salesman cams along
with a cock and bull story about
sick wife and a dozen or so starring
children Shinn would buy a bill of
goods of him whether we wanted them
or not The consequence waa that ev
ery time I came in I found the stock
growing In spite of my efforts to re
duce It
"Well, tbe result of it all was that
weeping drummers finally auccssdsd
In turning the store into a junk shop,
and we bad to quit. Shinn, aa he
should have done, offered to stand tha
loss, giving up all the capital he'd put
In, acknowledging that the outcome
bod been entirely his fault If 1 could
have closed up at ones bis money
would have been Just enough to square
us, with no lose to me, but the very
day we closed along comes a one leg
ged—commercial traveler be called him
self—consumptive, wheezing through
one lung, anil Shinn had to order a
$500 bill of blm. We closed the order
out at about 00 cent* on the dollar,
making a deficiency of $187.42. This
Hhlun agreed to pay as soon ho wa*
able.
"Shinn was a bachelor and removed
from his rooms in on apartment house
to a little shanty, I se:it a u.uu nrounl
to collect It!" JndebtclneiiM, but he cams
back or., t, h mdoi . I sent another
with orders to be tnnre persistent, and
he cr.uie back, reporting that the door
had been shimmed In his face, I used
to see Shinn occasionally on the street.
He looked morose and shabby. One
day I saw him give a quarter to a beg
gar. That made me mad. If be had
money to give such nuisances he had it
to pay bis honest debts. I hired n reg
ular fighting collector and sent blm
ronnd to Shinn's shanty. He came
back with his head bandaged up, a
black eye and a swelled lip, to say
nothing of tbe loss of a suit of clothes.
"I hired several men In succession te
go and get Into tbe bouse and stay
there till Shinn came down with the
funds. The first one that came back
reported he'd been thrown out, the sec
ond shared tbe same fate and the third
and the fourth and so on likewise.
"Then It occurred to me that I'd send
a woman. You see, • man can't fight a
woman, and there never was a woman
yet that couldn't get tbe better of a
man If she wanted to. There waa no
woman's collecting agency In the town,
so I told several friends of mine that
I'd give half the debt to any woman
who'd collect It.
"About a month after making the
announcement a young, good looking
woman came to see me and said she'd
heard 1 wanted a dq|>t collected ot
Percy Shinn. She didn't look Hko a
business woman at all, but I concluded
to try her. So I gave her nu order for
the money and started her out.
"It was 3 o'clock when she left me,
and 1 waited with a good deal of anx
iety to learn how Shlnu would meet
this new enemy. I expected her l>ack
lu about an hour. Four o'clock came,
but no collector —5, 0, 7, and she
didn't show up. In fact she didn't
show up that night nor the next day
nor the next nor the next A week
passed, and I began to thluk Shinn had
murdered her. Funuy. wasn't It? Ev
ery man I'd sent had come back aftei
having been throwu ont; the only wo
man I'd sent didn't come back at all.
"Then I fancied maybe the woman
bad collected the money or a part of It
and gone off with it. At the same time
it occurred to me that I had stupidly
omitted to take her address. I con
cluded to notify the police and started
out to do so. but thought I'd take a
look on the way at Shinn's house. So
I went a roundabout way and brought
up opposite the shanty. Somehow it
didn't look ao tumbledown as before
There ware white boliand shades in tbs
windows and a fsw flowers In tbe yard
in front , , ., M u j
"A woman came out of a house near
whan I waa standing, and I asked hat
who lived In tbe home opposite. 81 m
said. 'Mr. Bhtnn.* 'Any one with him?'
•HM wtfe.' *1 didn't know he wta
married.' 'He wasn't a Mori time
ago. Thors'! a story connected with
it M>. Shinn owed same old curmudg
eon some money and tent a young wo
man to collect it She waa real smart.
She told him aha was to get half the
amount collected: that aha waa the on
ly support of a widowed mother and
seven brothers end slaters. She gave
such a pitiful picture that Shinn, who
had boon a king while starving himself
to pay the debt and bad Just saved the
last penay. went and got It and gave
it to her. You om somebody bad told
her what kind of a man Shinn waa
She waa so cut up by hla lovable man
ner that she toid him to keep the mon
ey for all her, and ha said ha would
keep it tin his creditor came far 11
himself. It was om of tbe quickset
matches I ever h ea rd of. They only
know each other a weak before they
were married.'
Thle waa tha story gi ve n out Tears
after I heard the tree ana. The w
man waa aa aid sweetheart of fihtnaft
who had refused him. On hue ring at
hto condition aha had gene, disguised,
aetanalbty to collect the money
Knowing his soft root she led made
Up the yam. Then aha throw off har
disguise, and there was a ctreue.
"Tea. I got the money—ovary cent
