OUR LATE ,NQUIslTlvE VISITOR.

!. He's amazed at each invention

II he cuts goodly quantity OF Ice!
He has interviewed the ladies
Where each jeweled dame and maids.
And each one Of them afraid Is
OF the sage:
For the first solicitation
OF this great guest Of the nation
Sets them rummaging creation
For their age
Age. age;
And they cannot find the record on the
page!
When our colonies stand before him
They are not inclined to bore him.
For he straight proceeds to floor 'em
In this way:
''HoWd you come by your commission
To your colonelcy condition.
When you've not smelt ammunition
In the fray

When you haven't heard a battle charger

Twill take scholars to unravel
All his notes:
For he'll tell how statesmen shocked him
When their secrets they unlocked him:
How from off his feet they knocked him
Asking votes
Votes, votes:
And the prices paid their tailors for their

Hail! thou sage perambulator
OF this youthful land-but greater:
Hail! thou mine of human natur''

Still make us turn the pages
OF our Bibles for our ages.
And ask us If our wages
Are increased

And we'll join you in a blessing on the

THEY THINK HE IS CRAZY.
An Old Soldier Who Refuses His PEN
sion.

An Old Soldier Who Refuses His PEN
sion.
The pension Office people are in state of
mind over Sam Fetters, a substantial miller
of Chester Valley. Pa. He is a veteran,
fought bravely and was the victim of 5eri-
Gus illness in camp, which hurt him for life.
His case was clearly pensionable, ard many
years ago he was put on the rolls. Recently
he has been complaining of better health.
His appetite increases, his strength likewise
and he feels as young and spry as a bloom
ing bicycle bloomer girl. Believing that he
was restored to full health, he wrote Com
missioner Lochren some months ago that he
don't want his pension any longer. Never
thelesS, his voucher was sent to him. The
other day he returned it, saying he did not
think he was entitled to pension any
longer. A special examiner was sent to see
Sam and find out If he was really crazy
Yesterday he came back, saying that Mr.
Fetters was not only sane. but very clear
headed, hard-working and prosperous, be-
sides being thoroughly conscientious man.
His request will be granted, with an appro-
pirate and appreciative Endorsement on his
letter by Judge Lochren, who cannot COM
mend, he says, too highly such honesty and

THE COLORADO CONVENTION
Two Views as to the Effect of Senator Tel
ler's Threat
Mr.. WOlcOtt Turned Down Because of
His PrO-IEnGlfsh Views on the
Venezuela Question.

10 Two views are taken of the republican re-
suit in Colorado. One is that Mr.. Telier's
threat of bolt at st. Louis in case of the
adoption Of gold platform by the conver-
ton is Endorsed. 1t is pointed out that the
delegation is DU' into Mr.. Teller's hands
and is t. be guided by Rim. He is to be the
judge so far as Colorado is concerned of
what the silver men can afford to accept
at the hands of the convention. If he de-
cides to bolt, Colorado will bolt. Mr.. VOL
colt, who ised in advance against a
bolt Or even the thought of a bolt, was in
effect, turned down.
The Other View.
The other view is that a bolt is not seri-
ously in the mind either of Mr.. Teller or Of
his Colorado following. He advocates, sin
cerely, the free coinage CT silver. He would
if he could have the ST. Louis convention
take that position. But he is an expert
enccd politician and knows that there is
not the slightest probability OF the conven-
ton being brought to make any such decia-
ration. The bare fact, therefore; that Mr..
Teller is going to St. Louis as delegate
is accepted by ma ny men evidence that
he hopes fer good terms for silver, and will
be on hand to assist in securing them. That
he will be member of the platform COM
mittee is considered certain. He will pre-
sent silVer's case to the committee and in
that way the fiercest of the faction fighting
over the morey question will take place
behind closed doors. An effort will be
made to have full agreement reached in
committee. and If that should oe accom-
plished. debate in the open convention will
be short. WI at Mr. Teller shall agree to
in committee will of course be acceptable
by the other silver men in the convention
without protest. Nobody pretends to out
line what Mr.. Teller will accept short of
free coinage, but, as nobody believes free
coinage within the probal ilities, specCla-
ton Oh the subject is very earnest.
The Treatment of WoIcott.
1t is asserted in relation to Senator VOL
colt that the treatment of him by the
Pueblo convention was due more to other
causes than to any alleged weakening on
his part toward silver. His constituents
did not relish his speech on the Venezuela
episode. He leaned, they thought, too
much to England's side. His views were
too warmly welcomed IN England. Colo
RADIO resented this. In the presentation of
an American problem she preferred to
stand in close relation to her sister states
At Pueblo, therefore, SO it is claimed, this
feeling found expression, and accounts for
the failure of the convention to indorse the
Junior Senator. Mr.. Wolcott's friends deny
that he has weakened on silver. They as
sert that he stands today where he has al
ways stood, and that he is a good republi-
can and good bimetall.st.

EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.
Exhibition of the Art Work of Il,
Students.

Exhibition of the Art Work of the
Students.
There a highly attractive exhibition
today of the work of the regular and spe-
cial classes of the art department of the
Eastern High School. Through the day the
rooms set apart for the purpose on the
second floor of the big building were filled
with ir terested spectators, who found much
to admire and commend in the work of
the students.
The exhibition consisted of specimens of
the work of the young people in charcoal,
free-hand and mechanical drawing water
colors and clay modelling, and shows that
the pupils have made more than credit
able use of their opportunities. The course
in drawing lasts through four years, and
while not a very large proportion of all
the pupils show any marked ability with
the pencil or brush, it has been found to
result in a quickening of the artistic tastes
of the girls and boys, giving them also bet
ter powers of observation and appreciation.
About the walls of the three rooms are
hung the samples of the work of the young
artists, sketches, original designs drawings
fIo casts and color drawings. There are
no copies. but all are drawn direct from
the object, be it a cast, house or a tree
in blossom. There is at least one specimen
from every pupil, so that the exhibition is
not simply a collection of the best pieces
but display that gives one a fair idea
of the work of the whole school. The Wis
itors today were for the most part the
parents and friends of the young exhibitors
and there general expression of
satisfaction at the high character of the
work shown. In one room were all the
specimens of clay modelling, and here again
copying is tabooed, each embryo sculptor
being compelled to first map out his or her
design in charcoal before beginning on the
moist clay. Several of the pupils showed
MAI ked aptitude for this sort of thing and
the flower designs and conventional figures
were greatly admired. Considering how lit
tie time each week is devoted to drawing
and modelling, the visitors seemed to regard
the display as remarkably fine one. The
exhibition will be open this evening from
6 to 9 o'clock.
