Tragedy Of the Flannel shirt.

Formerly he wore white linen
That he looked quite cool and thin in.
But he really found his neckwear very hot,
So he laid aside his collars.
And borrowing some dollars
Found a flannel shirt and bought it on the spot.
With grin Of expectation
And his spirit in elation
He drew that limp apparel on his back,
For he found It soft and spacious
And he wallowed In capacious
Breathing room-a thing starched bosoms lack.
But in a moment gloomy
He sent that shirt so roomy
To a 1aundryman, who made 1t clean as new;
But It came back strangely altered
And the owners spirit faltered
As he drew IL from the bundle forth TO view.
II was well and neatly finished,
But had suddenly diminished.
1t was warped and dwarfed and twisted all
askew.
No woman In surf bathing
Would dream OF e'er enswathinz
Her fern In garb of inches so immodestly few
The second time they washed It
And on a scrub board swashed Il
1t came back looking still morO young and
frafI;
For in manner dazing
II had shrunken so amazing
They tucked IL In an envelope and sent Il back

But will they find PearyS

Whether he likes the candidates or
not the American citizen could not have
failed to be impressed with the array Of
distinguished newspaper men who at
tended both the presidential conven-
tons. In these times the most brilliant
editors in the land are proud to go to the
great political conventions and send
home reports of them. Gath and Joe
Howard Of course are always present,
and so are others of the best known
correspondents, shooting off their jour
nalistic pyrotechnics. Four years ago
1t was said of one of the famous cor
respondents at presidential convention
that he was present with six stenog-
raphers, sixty pounds of paper and
an Unreasonable quantity of cheek.
All Of them were on hand again this
time, each fully equipped in the manner
described. At present America NAV
well be proud of her brilliant newspaper
correspondents. Few of their class in
Europe are equal to them in pluck, wit
and enterprise. Murat Halstead and
Henry Watterson were among the IA
nous editors at the conventions. Final
ly, the Republican convention did honor
to both itself and the country by nomi-
mating a newspaper man-whitelaw

lowing significant CORRECTIONS for a
third time candidate
I-Promote your first election by dis
claiming reelection on principle.
ll-Promote your second nomination by
pushing a party policy to extremes, so
that II shall seem betrayed IL any other
candidate be selected
lII-Insist that the aforesaid policy is
the only issue, after defeat on the same,
as yon have stated It, has been followed
by overwhelming victory on issues which
you neither stated nor debated.
lN-ProdHce the fact OF having no dele
gates from the regular convention Of your
own state as evidence that your third
time candidacy Is favored by the great
majority Of your party.
V-Assert by the mouths Of all whom
you appointed to office that election in
state OF 100000 people by 1000 plurality,
is proof conclusive that you alone can
carry your state, especially when the
state, beingrelieved Of your candidacy, is
then carried by your party in the next
two elections, first by 10000, then by as
900 plurality.
Nl-Assert by the mouths Of your mug
wHmp spoksmen that the man who was
never defeated, and whom. for the seventh
time, they most strenuously opposed
when he was elected by more votes than
were ever cast for anybody else In the
state, Is the one man who, II nominated
president, could not be elected.

The Peary Relief Expedition.

1t is now safe on its way under the
command Of Professor Angelo Heilprin,
agent of the Philadelphia Academy Of
Natural Sciences. July A the party sails
for the Greenland coast in the steam
whaler Kite from st. Johns, N. r.
This is the same vessel that q
year ago conveyed Lieutenant Peary
and his wife and comrades up to Nc
Cormick bay, in latitude n dogs. 40 min.
The Kite expects to reach Mccormick
bay by JUL 25 There it will await
Pearys return from his summer over
land expedition to the northernmost
coast of Greenland. BE expected to be
able to go as far north as the s5th parallel
by land, thus being within $50 miles of
the north pole itself. The farthest north
erly point heretofore gained was reached
by the American Greedy expedition in
1881.
On her way northward the Kite will
search for cairns containing records,
where Peary said he would leave them
in case of abandoning Mccormick bay
before the relief expedition reaches him.
If Peary is not found Immediately the
expedition will cruise along the coast
and search for him TIN Sept 1, the
latest date at which it will be safe to re-
main in those far northern waters. In
case the search must be abandoned the
Kite will leave supply stores at suitable
places.
But will they find Peary?

An Ancient Female once Holder.

1t seems that the emancipation of wom-
an is an old story and not one of the tri-
umphs of modern civilization. The noted
scholar Halevy has complied from the
cuneiform tablets discovered at El-Amura
an account of an Egyptian governor of Je-
rusalem under Amenophis ", 1900 years
before the Christian era. At that time
Palestine was in very disturbed state,
overrun by the Babylonian hordes and
misgoverned by the local satraps. At this
early period Jerusalem was populous
city and contained temple consecrated TO
the god Adar, The bureau of the royal
archives was under the direction of a wom-
an, and as that was highly important

A Prominent PennsyIvanian.

Hon. Galusha A. Crows connection with
the national Republican convention has
served TO renew Interest in man for whose
political future, in 1850, no prediction
would have been considered too roseate.
Although elected, after ten years of con-
tinuous service, speaker of the lower house
of what was probably the most important
congress which has ever sat in the United
States, Mr.. Grow was not renominated.
At the age of twenty-seven, when he sue
ceeded the great Wilmot, author of the
celebrated proviso which bears his name,
he was regarded with much curiosity. he
speedily convinced congress that he was
not green youth, but a man who had de-

The sugar bounty feature of the new
tariff law is staunchly supported in the
South. The New Orleans Picayune,
Democratic, takes this view of it:
Realizing that the bounty is not only
likely to build up the cane industry,
but establish profitable beet sugar in
dustry as well, the lower house Of Con-
gress seems to be less disposed to at
tack the bounty clause, while as long
as the senate remains in Republican
hands II Is not probable that change
in one OF the essential features of the
Mckinley act will be permitted.

important questions of the day He soon
became a commanding figure on the floor,
and when the Missouri compromise was
repealed and he severed his connection
with the Democratic party he almost i'm
mediately became the Republican leader,
and in 1861 was elected speaker.
Mr.. Grow was born in Windham county,
Conn, in 1924, but was raised in PenDsyl-
vania, whittier his mother, who had been
left widow while Galusha was still a
small child, had removed. He is well off,
having made considerable money in Texas
railroad investments. 1t is said that in 1876
he was offered the Russian mission, but de
clined. He is unmarried and enjoys ro-
