In Lisbon stands an old Krlck building of late years occupied a harness shop. I Jn tho early days of tho town this nd shop wbb occupied In part by Dr. eonnrd Hanna and family as living Ipartments, and In one of these rooms Jon. Marcus A. Hanna was born. lis father, Dr. Hanna, was a man of Teat Intelligence, who was highly re jected by every citizen of the town ! "He was equally adept at talking olltlcs, making a temperance speech gelling a yard of calico," said Cap- Sin J. L. Straughn, then coroner of Columbiana county, In telling tho ommerclnl Trlbuno some Incidents If Senator Hanna's boyhood, after his ret election to tho United States lenate. i "Even In that day tho elder Hanna ad advanced Ideas regarding a pro- ctlvo tariff, and freely expressed hem. His aorupt anu irnnK speecn, well as many other characterise ., are Inherited by his son Mark, ho was familiarly known to the bys at that time." iDr. Hanna's goneral store flourished such an extent that ho gave up Is living rooms and established his imlly In a large house on the hill bar by. Mark Hanna, tho Schoolboy. At this time Mark was a schoolboy, lid Captain Straughn relates the fol- Swing stories of their earlier Hfe: "Mark was a great boy and wo all toed him.

"But tho schomo did not work, and !ark was checked down with tho st of us. Ho was unwilling, though, let the matter drop thore, and at tccss several of us uoys got to- bthor and Mark took tho same prob- pm and simply changed tho figures. I'o went to tho tenchor and told him re had a trifling mental problem that wished ho would solve, and Mark pad his revised version.

GUESSING CONTEST INCREASING IN ITEREST. It Is less than a month since Tho Journal's diamond guessing contest was launched, and already oror half of tho subscriptions undor tho plan havo boen disposed of. Every poison who has paid a dollar subscrlp, tlon slnco January 11th has rocolvtd a guessing rocolpt which entitle tho holdor to ono guess on tho urknown number, and all gucssora ox press satisfaction at tho opportunity and tho manner In which tho con test Is being conducted. All aro growing moro and moro anxious to havo tho fort,unnto day arrive Evory porson who has only ono guosB seems to throb with that samo fooling of anxiety as tho ones who hnvo In moro, and, In fact, their ono gueas Is Just as good as though It woro accompanlod by n. dozen more. Several parties have made tholr guosses by drawlngB throo figures from a set Just as tho unknown numbor was drawn, nnd thus thoy hopo to havo tholr conclusions similar to tho fortunnto ono, but whon It Is renllzed what a multitude of numbors aro posslblo from such combinations oven this procoss cannot lnsuro success. Tho plain fact is that ovory guosser is on absolutely the samo ground, for thoro can bo no proforred class and no favorod fow. Tho absoluto oquallty and falrnoss of the proposition Is what pleases ovory participant In tho contest t As a rosult of tho guessing contost subscriptions aro coming to Tho Journal from many unexpected sourcos. Many persons la and about Salem, as woll as tho various towns of tho county, aro ordering," re newing nnd oxtendlng thor subscriptions. AH roallzo that thoy will moro than get tholr monoy's worth, besides a' froo guoss on tho ele gant diamond ring. Ono of tho moat memorablo guessing contosts Jn tho history of this country was that conducted by tho Frank Leslie publishing houso dur ing tho last Cleveland campaign in 1892. Thoy offerod a sorios of prizes to tho persons who could guosa tho nearest to tbo winning can didate, and' a young gentloman of Marlon county had tho. honor of carrying off tho $200 prlzo. Ho was nono othor tnan Allen Forward tho young attornoy of this city, nnd, although tho guosB was recorded In his father's name, tho lato Blair Forward, tho young man mado tho guosa. Ho estimated Cleveland's plurality at 375,000 and hla fathor received a check for tho cash after tho returns had been canvaBsod Only ono other person guessed anywhere near that flguro, but ho was not near enough to win tho prize Not nearly so much intorost wa taken in that contost in Salem as,n tho ono now being conductod by Tho Journal for tho $150 diamond ring, and whon tho news camo of tho winner being a Marlon county boy, It was gratifying to all his friends. If you do not win The Journal diamond yourself, somo of your friends may, and that will be next to getting It In your own family. How (to Participate.
