Allowing such convention facts
as the contest results and such
convention things as Hanns of
the red and hurried face, with
all their effects, and all their plots
to, for the nonce, go drifting, and deal
ing only with sentiment in it's broader
phases, it may be said that the thousands
of republican men, whether deleg ates or
manipulators, who just now assemble
for this weeks convention, neither look
nor feel like winners. Race horse folks
will better appreciate the word, perhaps,

not hesitate in the face of direct query
to express belief that Mckinley could

This black and blue condition of re,

The robust-looking old farmer had for
the first time travelled on train with a
dining car. He had read about the high
prices for train meals, so when he sat
down at the table he ordered some
bread and butter and a cup of coffee.
The waiter looked at him and whistled
softly. After the robust farmer had con-
cluded his slim repast ticket for 81 was
was banded him.
T1"Great Scott! Do you charge dollar
for what little I eat?" he asked.
''Xes, sab; one dollar is the the price
of de meal, no matter what you ordah. "
"Whau did you charge that man
there?" demanded the farmer, pointing to

sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. <,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
fnova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo

and now it is entirely gone, though lam

Had only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over St5o.'
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out pertna-

PROF. CUMNOCK
Gave a Reading Last Night Before q Large
Audience

Gave Reading Last Night Before q Large
Audience
Turnverein hall was filled to overflowing
last night by an audience Of representative
ing bv Prof. Robert L. Cumnock of Evans
ton, Ills. Prof. Cumnock comes by invita-
ton of the local Cumnock school of
oratory and under the patronage of about
$50 of the leading society people of Los
Angeles. The hall was tastefully deco
rated in green and white, while the stage
was beautiful with massed effect of callas
and palms. The ushers were young ladies
from the Cumnock school, who looked
very dainty in evening dress.
The speaker appeared amidst generous
applause of welcome. He is a fine looking
man OF excellent physique and possesses
an unusually good voice that carries easily
seems to have faith enough in his art and
to conceal his personality behind it.
The program opened with the trial scene
from the Merchant of Venice. 1t is no
easy task for d reader to impersonate sew
eral characters, but Prof. Cumnock accom-
plished it with marvellous versatility. In
The Foxes Tails the reader was perfectly
at home. The Scotch burr rolls naturally
from his tongue and his delineation of the
dominie's "eloocidation" of "kittle pints''
was one of the best things of the evening.
The White Squall, the sweet little story
OF Boots at the Holly Tree Inn, and the
famous combat scene from the Lady of
the Lake. made up the remainder of a
program that served to show the true art
of Prof. Cumnock. In all his work the
professor was entirely free from that
stilted unnaturalism that 80 many readers
regard as essential to good elocution.
There are charm and strength about
Prof. Cumnock's reading that make the
evening spent with him peculiarly delight
full. With no effort to obtrude his own
personality upon his hearers, he was con-
tent to let the characters speak their own
story easily. grao ef,illy and naturally. 1t
is pleasing change from the ranting and
raving OF the usual declaimer and speaker
of pieces. Prof. Cumnock reads again
Thursday evening.
