,' Probably the oldest man to receive
a nomination for governor so far this
year is ex -Justice Simeon E. Baldwin,
Democratic candidate for governor of
Connecticut, who was seventy years
old last February. Mr. Baldwin was
born Feb. 6, 1840, at New Haven, and
was educated at the Hopkins Gram
mar school and Yale college, where he
took the bachelor of arts degree in the
class of 1861. He was of distinguished
Connecticut ancestry, nis father, Rog
er Sherman Baldwin, was governor of
the state, and also represented Con
necticut in the United States senate.
His grandfather was a Justice of the
Connecticut supreme court and his
great-grandfather, on his mother

the Declaration of Independence. ;

bench have taken no toll of his mental

A Way Man Has.
A man who will sit up all night and
display marvelous agility of the fin
gers in operating a pack of cards finds
that he has hands like an elephant's
feet when ho. is asked to hook up or
button up his wife's gown. This fact
is observed time and again and is one
of the popular bits of philosophy to be
served in connection with a dressmak
ers' convention desiring public atten
tion. That it is a more difficult tinder
taking to shuffle the deck and deal a
poker handmerely as a test of digital
cleverness without taking Into consid
eration the more important Item of
dealing a satisfactory, handthan to
hook up a gown even when the eyes
are hidden in the lace must be admit
ted. That d man will undertake the
one cheerfully and the other churlish
ly must be ascribed to the survival of
the Old Nick in most male humans.

He wasl hurrying for the train,
somewhat impeded by a clumsy crate
containing a large live turkey. As he
approached the gate the guard stopped
him with a gesture. '
"You can't take that through here,"
he said. "That'll have to be checked,
or go by express." .
'But I can't : stop, declared the
passenger. "I've got to get this train."
And he tried to push through again.
The guar herd, him back. , "That is
baggage," he said firmly, "and it must
go in the baggage car."
"Oh, no," replied , the other, with a
charming and confident smile; "It's
luggage. Don't you see I'm lugging
It?" And he had slipped by before the
astonished guard had caugit his
breath. Youth's Companion.
