fusion has arisen over the names of the

dinner of Chicago platform Democrats, be-
cause of Governor Pingree and others who
are Republicans. We arranged that matter
in committee all right. however. and sent
the invitation in the name of the Chicago
platform people. We have such financial
backing that we will be able to give a
dollar dinner such as has never been held
before. Applications have come from places
in Florida, from Duluth and from Boston.
/ wired TO the Grand Central Palace as soon

man Jones that they would come any day
after April 15.'

ALICE JOYCE, TURKEY QUEEN.
A Texas Girl Who Finds Pleasure
and Profit i'm Her FIOcks.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
While driving slowly along lonely
mountain road in Western Texas a few
days ago my horse suddenly pricked up
his ears, and as I looked about for the
purpose of discovering the object that had
attracted his attention, l saw something
that rather astonished me. A large flock
of turkeys, led by a dozen or more big
black gobblers, was coming slowly over
hill but a short distance away. A few
of the birds were picking along the sides
of the TRAIL but the bulk of the flock was
in the main highway, apparently undis-
turbed by my presence.
l am perfectly familiar with this partic-
ular region of country, and / knew that
the wild birds were not TO be found in
such great numbers near a public road.
My amazement at the gentleness of the
turkeys was little less pronounced than
my establishment at the size of the flock.
/ stopped my horse and. while gazing at
them with all the admiration of an old
hunter, and wishing from the bottom of
my heart for a good Winchester a very
pretty young girl, mounted on spirited
little mustang, galloped up behind the
birds and began to survey the country in
every direction / now realized that they
were tame turkeys and l drove on to the
banks of little mountain s ream that ran
through the valley. The young girl met
me, apd after a courteous salutation, she
