u. w. Lawler Issues a Call to Min.
nesota Democrats.
st. Paul, July 17.-Hon. D. W. Law
Ter, as a member of the so-called sound
money committee Of the Democratic
party which was formed at Chicago
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the convention, has issued a call to
sound money Democrats of Minnesota
to meet in this city for conference.
This meeting is to take place at the
Merchants hotel Thursday, July %.
One hundred letters of invitation
were sent out yesterday, and about
800 more are to be sent out during the
next day. or two, so that the gathering
Will number at least 400 representa-
tive Democrats. And those invited
have been requested to bring along all
OF their neighbOrs who may be inter-
eSted in the sound money movement.
Mr.. Lawler. said to a reporter:
'"This call was issued because of nu-
merous letters and kilograms l have
received from sound money Democrats
from every section of the state They
have requested that a conference be
held in the interests of sound, money.
Every county Of Minnesota will be
represented at this meeting, and all
who come are to make reports on the
sentiment in their localities, so that
we may arrive at the true feeling
among the people Of Minnesota. The
conference is to consider the recent
action of the Chicago convention. 1t
will also decide on course Of action
which we shall pursue in the coming
campaign The protests against the
Chicago platform and nominees are
simply enormous and overwhelming.
I cannot tell at present VI hat we may
conclude to do, but If the conference
decides that a separate ticket is de-
sirable, we may attend the convention
called by the sound money Democrats
Of Illinois,"

ROMANCE OF THE WHEEL,

One Woman's Discovery and How
She Will Get Even
Henry" said the little wife, as she
took the hand of her big husband,
I'm glad that you enjoy your wheel
so much, and that you feel the better
for riding it. But you are home so
little now. You are off for spin in
the morning, and never see you after
dinner until late at night I don't
know but Gen. Kleigels, the chief of
police at St. Petersburg, has done the
right thing
whats that?'' -:
Gle requires every cyclist in the
Russian capital to carry a large mum
Der exposed at the back of his ma
chine, so that when a scorcher breaks
loose he will be known by reference to
the list, and if there be any suspicious
character riding about he or she can
be identified in the same way"
I'd never stand it. I'd raise an
army and fight first. The next move
would be to have every married man
carry the license for his matrimonial
venture on his back, and to make a
sandwich of him by requiring him to
have his name and place Of business
or residence spread out in bold type
over his chest. What a glorious coun-
try of freedom this would be them
Put it might be just as we'll, Henry,
from my point of view. I see .Judkins
riding by here almost every night with
some lady that is not Mrs. Judkins.
She tells me, just as you do, that bust
ness keeps men good deal later than
it did when times were better. And
then, Judkins talks in his sleep, don't

do I ever-do ever neglect YOU or
the children. or forget that you are the
sweetest little wife in the world 2"
Not that I know of, dear. But we
haven't that Russian system. Now.
what is this?' and the little wife held
up dainty handkerchief of lace, with
delicate odor and tell-tale initials in
the corner.
ooh, yes. 10 re sure. OF course.
Meant to tell you. Happened to run
across Hattie on the boulevard. the
other evening, and rode little way to-

"But about Pat. Well, a couple of

stranger, who said his name was Juan,
had their first rehearsal and 1 never
seed a Teller look so happy as that
Juan did when he stood up before the

around him from twenty feet off.

THAT was the end of Juan, but see
