Mr. Doblnson muttered this to himself
as he got up but he still seemed preoc-

As he went home through the twilight
he pondered deeply. He now felt little

in his dream Mr.. Hudspeth again appeared

he had been before. But whilst they
were talking Janet entered, and the old
man without word pointed at the gill

Looking down, the minister this time saw
it was the Bible, open az Proverbs xviii

the old man smiled and disappeared

that these were not the words pointed out
to him before. II was a whole year be-

which Mr.. Hudspeth imposed, but as the
old gentleman has not condescended again
TO visit his dreams 1t must be presumed
that the condition has been satisfied. Such
at least is Mr.. Hollonutt's conclusion.

sitiOn to the convention. Mr. Hare did
not appear and the convention sus-
tanned the majority Of the ward delega-

Stan Donnelly praised the spirit of
the resolutions and moved their adoP-

The convention was enthusiastic in
their passage, after Humphrey Barton.

up things by walking to the front of

no" TWO more OF them were contesting

would be delicate courtesy which

men DR.. Oren S. Pine.
The first ballot on this was badly
Spit up, resulting: Pine, "a; Xanten.
50; Haas, 43.
If the friends of Haas were pioued
the friends Of Xanten were cholerfc.
Ed Murphy withdrew Mr.. Xanten's
name, but in the uprOar the chair over
looked it. The second ward chairman
withdrew DR.. Haas name, commenting
with some bitterness on the fact that
1t was the only nomination the ward
had all day.
A second ballot was being taken.
with DR.. Pine getting nearly all the
votes, in spite of a f1eshy outsider who
hoWled "Whitcomb, Whitcomb," and
drowned the secretaries voices.
Matt Bantz was pale as he rose and
said:
Mr.. Xanten has withdrawn. He In
an American citizen who was born here
and he shows his loyalty to the party
by withdrawing from an earnest candi-
dacy in favor Of a candidate who comes
In at the eleventh hour"
The loud-voiced Whitcomb man, he
thought, should be suppressed, and he
was.
Dr. Pine was then nominated by 40

The committee then ushered in Judge
Bum, who was warmly greeted. He
thanked the convention for the nom

manner in which it was rendered, re-

pretty tribute to his fellow, J. C. Mi
