his loves. He is, to use a home phrasa
"a runt," says the Chicago Herald
whose reporter interviewed him last
week. But If n peeps into his hat II
will be seen that it numbers II. His
legs, too, are stalwart, and his frar,.4
compact. ButMr. Sharon's chief charm
is his Mark T~apley-like jollity is the
face of adversely that some would think
even $40, 900 900 could not offset. Par.

the senator left for Washington. The
senator sat in his shirt-sleeyes on fba
side of the bed, swinging his short legs
and smoking a cigar. M. @. Budd. an

There was a painful silence, and Mr..

scoundrel Nelson from Australia toegg

any time for $20, 000-$10 900 to her and
$40, 900 to Nelson. But not one cent?
