securing control Of the convention, and

But the steering committee did other
work. For instance. during the day q
second effort was made to concentrate
on Shaw for the man to beat Cummins.
Delegates were asked whether or not
they could be got to vote for Shaw when
the others were out Of the way. The
governor was closeted with Hubbard
nearly all day and delegates were
brought in and sounded. It was repre-
sented to them that neither of the candi-
dates in the field had the necessary
strength to stand against CumminsI
The following of each would desert if
any attempt was made to concentrate
Such being the case, 1t was argued, an
outside man must be brought in. But
the result Of the feeling around in re-
gard to Shaw was to demonstrate that
ne could not get the support Of all the
combine. Then new tack was taken
last night Major Mahon, Of Ottumwa,
had come up with his delegation in his
pocket. There were signs of breaking
in the Sixth district. They approached
John F. Lacey, congressman from the
Sixth district, with proposition that
IL he would get his district together
ssolidly for him for governor, they would
attempt to combine on Lacey. The Ma.

nor Mahon could deliver the district en-

We have no spare chamber. / have been
troubled about 1t for long while. says q writer
in the Atlantic. Yesterday 1t occurred TO me
that the Browns have no spare chamber, either,
nor the Robinsons, nor the stuyvesants, and
am more troubled than ever.
The decadence OF the spare chamber strikes
deep. 1t is the concrete difference between past
and present. The spare chamber meant 4 room

Gated TO the higher nature The family might
have only three chambers-one of these was

straw rustled under the taut s.store carpet.
The stimulus to the Imagination alone was
worth three times the amount of cubic space the
spare chamber occupied. You tiptoed In.
Mothers best bonnet lay on the middle of the
bed. Sometimes huge loaf of fruit cake sat
elegantly in one Of the chairs.
There was always something reserved in the
days of the spare chamber-f:uit cake and bon.
nets. People had best clothes. They wore them
on spare days. Sunday was a spare day. You
knew that 1t was Sunday. Grandfather shaved
when grandfashers shave every day, what is
left for the seveDtb?) There was hush about
the house. AS the day wore on It deepened; the
whole farm lay under Its warm, sleepy spell all
