He was born March 10. 1839. at Brownsville, Fayette County, Pa. In his youth he was a companion and playmate of James G. Blaine, who was also born in that oity. When old enough he was apprenticed to the printer's trad and -learned the art hi the of fice of tho Brownsville Clipper, In October of 1857 he eame to Kansas, net tling at Atchison. He worked for short JOHN A. MA.BTIN. time on the Squatter Sovereign, a Demo cratio paper, and afterward he went to Redpath's paper, the Crusader of Freedom, published at Doniphan. In 1858 he bought the Scatter Sovereign, changing the name to Freedom's Champion and converting it into a free-ette naoer.

When he arrived at Teheran he wag met outside of the city by the Chamberlain of the court, who, io the mime of the Shah, presented him with s'our elephants. Winston, who had never een an elephant outside of a menagerie, was paralyzed at his situation, but managed to express his thanks for the Shah's great kindness. After he had been presented, and had assumed the duties of his. office, his greatest official burden was the care of his elephants. Belief came on tho second day, when tbe intimation was politely conveyed that tho Shah expected a present from him.' . "Certainly," said Winston, as a smile wreathed his face. "I have only been waiting to secure one worthy of so great a ruler." That afternoon he proceeded in state to the palace and presented the Shah with five elephants. Tbe Chamberlain seeinod to regard the animals with suspicion, but Oriental politeness prevents the inspection of a gift horse in the mouth, and, anyhow, the extra elephant removed all doubt. "That extra elephant cost me $100," said Winston, iu telling the story afterward. "But I considered myself getting ont of a bad scrape oheap at that."
