Republican political events will proba-
bly, move briskly during this week. There
are several republican "favorite sons, 80
each with several votes for the presi-
dental nomination, which they would
probably be glad TO trade off for value
received in votes for the vice presidential
nomination or other valuable political
considerations. There. for instance, is
Bradley of Kentucky. with sixteen votes
in his vest pocket. He is one of AIcKin-
leys pupils, indirectly. He might not be
averse to giving up his little delegation
for the honor Of running with the man
from Ohio.

Miss Jane Adams Of Chicago. who is in
London studying the East End Of that city,
says that while her native city is very.
very naughty, it is not nearly so wicked
as London. Chicago's faults. she says,
are those Of youth. while London is an
old and hardened sinner. Chicago would
probably be obliged if Miss Adams would
return home by way of New York
and stop and investigate that city and tell
the world how much wickeder than Chi
cago New York is. Ordinarily Chicago
doesn't care three straws about being
compared with any other city.

Abstruse Calculations.

With hair awry and one hand pressed
over her brow, she was picture of doubt
and distress as she gazed intently at
newspaper clipping, says the Detroit Free
Press. Then she took a hairpin, straight
ened it out. and went carefully tracing
over a series of lines. Once light seemed
TO break upon her, but in a moment the
old expression of panied bewilderment
returned. So much absorbed she was that
she did not hear or see her husband as
he entered the room. When he spoke she
only replied:
Please go way and don't bother me-"
why, what's the matter?"
Il don't know" she replied without
turning her head But I'm sure they've
got it mixed up somehow"

thing else for over an hour. 1t starts as

F. N. Crouch, who wrote Kathleen Ma

of IS. A few weeks before his death so
runs the story, according to the Chicago
T.mes-Herald he was walking down State
street, Chicago, when a young man APP
preached him with outsretched hand.
How are you?" asked the stranger.
Pretty we'll was the reply.
Don you know me, Mr.. Crouch?
No, l do not, but if you are in the con-
fidence line of business you had better
track it; for haven't red cent in all my
pockets.
That's a splendid wheeze you are I'M

Crouch. 1 thought I'd seen you before

to howl in dismay, he jumped up and

Mrs. Bowser and her only son disap-
peared, and after picking up the scythe
and looking it all over and taking rest
for ten minutes Mr.. Bowser sought out
new place to begin. He moisteped his
hands again, looked around at the house
and then started in as before. The
"hu" and the squat" worked up tip
top, but instead Of entering the grass
the blade "swiped'' along in the air,
with the result that Mr.. Bowser was
turned clear around with the momentum
and the point Of the scythe struck the
only shade tree on the place and was
broken off short. AT the same time one
of the handles Of the scythe hit him in
the stomach and left him gasping for
breath, and as he sank down he thought
rather than gasped:
