oiIired at haphazard Not liking TO STUDY.
aritl,,nctic being her special bugoear. and
being a delicate child, She did not go
regularly 10 school. She was. however,
a born story-lover and learned 10 reao,
that she might enjoy. unassisted Grimm 5
Fairy Tales. II seems natural eVoluiion
that the child who so passionately ioVed
stories should develop into the woman
who makes stories for others TO ENJOY.
THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION
AS she grew older. her reading became
more diversified, and at thirteen she
read and loved Robert Browning, who
IS still her favorite poet. At the age OF
eighteen she devoted herself to the study
OF political economy and socialism, and
the effects OF this course OF STUDY can
be traced through the pages OF Inc NE
scendant'' her first novel. which was
published in 1897, when Miss Glasgow
was just twenty-five.
..The Descendant" was published anonS-
rnnusly, and many thought 1t too T!ri!e.

A DELEGATE of 1886.
William 9. Lane Talks OF the Con-
yentiOn of ~ Ncura

William S. Lane. of Philadelphia, one of
the fourteen surviving delegates to the
first National Republican convention in
1886, is the father of Mrs. John Arthur,
of Seattle, who is now visiting him in
his Illness. He was recently interviewed
by the Philadelphia Ledger I'm regard 10

THE first candidate for president ever
voted for" he said. was William Henry
Harrison the Nominee uf the Wnigs, IN
1870. In lS4l. when Henry Clay was nom
mated by the Wing party. l went on the
stump for him. | was then practicing
lawyer and had always entertained great
admiration for Clay. I stumped Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Virginia for him
There never was n more disappointed
man In the whole world than l was when
he was defeated. -
THE defeat of Clay took all the
politics out of me for n time 's' When
the election OF 1886 was approaching II
was evident that the Wing party had
been wiped out of existence. IT was here
that the Republican party stepped In TO
take the place of the Democrats late an
tagonist. l couldn't be n Democrat, so
! had to be Republican. ..' My work

,ensible purpose Of outlining plan or
action for the approaching state cam

will be the question OF Gov Rogers can

ON this question 1t is probable there
will be the hottest fight recorded in Pop
ulist politics in months.

Bridges. of Olympia John p. Fay and
Clark Davis, of Seattle, and Frank
Baker and A. p. Tugwen. or
Pierce county, will be among the most
aggressive enemies of the governor. They

BILE for Gov. Rogers TO secure another

These two. it Is said win deliver ora
lions in the governors behalf
The action Of Chairman Mclaughlin in
summoning the party leaders to confer
with the state committee at this early day
In the fight has great significance, in
view of the call for a meeting of the
three fusion committees in this city July
IA. The object OF the latter meeting, called
as II was at the instigation of the Demo-
cratic state committee. is to bind the
Populists IL possible to a union conven-
ton.
The Silver Republicans stand pledged 10
support a union convention according to
the terms of a resolution passed by their
convention on saturday. To the average
fusion politician the term union con-
vention.' in the sense used, is taken to
mean single convention of fusion forces
under the banner OF Democracy, with the
ucket nearing the name OF that political
organization
1t is probable that at the Tacoma con-
vention much ancient political history will
be dug up and dragged to light. A fine
field of endeavor will be offered. The
records Of the Populist legislature of 1897,
which elected Senator Turner and the
contest over the railroad bills may be
brought up. Some of the Populists de-
clare that they propose 90 cleanse the
Augean stable.
In this connection 1t has been suggested
that the result OF the fight may be a
middie-ot-the-road ticket. supported by a
small portion of the Peoples party or
ganization. with the remainder laboring in
the ranks Of the Democratic party.
