Light, and song!

Still, for tomorrow,
Light, and song!

The New York convention ha
met and, as that is the PRESIDENT
state, it's convention has a nationa
interest. The effort of the Repub
lican press to make it appear thai
there are serious differences be-
tween Senator Plat and Governor
Odell is most amusing to those
acquainted with the inside facts.
| Governor Odell is too shrewd q
politician to quarrel with the
"easy boss into whose shoes he
is preparing to step. While Sena-
tor Platt is still a strong political
power in his state, it is evident to
all who see him that his physical
condition will soon make his re-
tirement from active politics i'm
perative, and when he retires
Governor Odell will be his success
sor. To the close observer, how
ever, it is evident that, with a
view of misleading the general
public, there is pretence of fric-
ton between the two Republican
leaders. This was first occasioned
by the spreading of the report
that Odell was the ''puppet'' of
Plat and subsequently both have
found it matter of great conven-
fence in opposing measures urged
by their friends, to make the other
the apparent factor in accomplish
ing the defeat of those measures.
The New York convention indoors
ed President Roosevelt and recon-
mended his nomination in 1904.
The trust question is referred to
in the most general terms and a
statement to the effect that the
bad trusts must be circumvented
is included, although there is no
Endorsement of Mr.. Roosevelt's
scheme for Federal control. The
only reference to the tariff is a
reafirmation of the benefits to be
derived from protection.
Inc statement Is given out at
the Pension Office that the pension
roll of the United States has pass
ed the million mark. At the end
OF the fiscal year but 554 names
were lacking to make the figures
reach a million, but those and
more have been added since, the
grand total now being over 1,001,-
900, this beng the largest number
ever on the rolls of this country.
Pension Commissioner Ware is
showing exceptional ability in the
administration of his arduous Office
but already there are Is, 900 APP
pealed cases ON his files and it is
regarded as more than probable
hat the time is not far distant
when he will encounter the same
which resulted in un-
seating Pension Commissioner

Fashion Notes.

Etamine belts are embroidered in
various designs with dots in variety
Of colors to correspond to the ecru
back ground.
Linen outing hats in natural tones
are shown in a variety of broad trim
med fat forms.
Never before have pocket handker-
| chiefs been offered in such great var
iety at such small prices. For SO cents
a handkerchief can be selected from
twenty or more beautiful designs, and
for the woman who wants to buy six
they are to be found in fan shaped
boxes, with an assortment Of designs In
each. Fine linen handkerchiefs with
real duchess lace borders are popular
this season.
Green, untanned leather bags with
gilt trimmings are adorned with imita-
ton emeraldS to match the body tone.
Entire costumes, including shirt
waist suit and hat, are made of the
same material, linen effects, merceriz-
ed fabrics and piques being special
favorites.
, 1t is becoming a fad to send fancy
belts as presents, and one Of the pret-
test Of these is of wide plated white
satin ribbon sprinkled over with stars
formed of turquoises and finished with
a gilt buckle. Black satin ribbon belts
have stars of cut steel and are finished
! with a steel buckle. The electric belts
are covered with steel or jet bands,
and, finished with a lovers knot or
butterfly buckle, will fit any waist.

the Hlndoo. After some little search
l found him huddled up near a life
boat, mumbling over an amulet. He
seemed strangely unwilling to give the
boy an Identification mark, but by
doubling the price I finally persuaded
him to do so. I shall never forget that
night, when, as a fierce gale tossed the
steamer to and fro, I held the child
and watched the swarthy artist ink
the letter into the white skin. The
storm passed however, without doing
us any HARM, and the rest Of the trip
was calmly uneventful.
when we reached New York and
We're ready to land, the little fellow
was fast asleep, so I carefully locked
the stateroom, leaving him in his berth
while 1 put my trunks through the
custom house. On my return the door
stood open-the boy was gone!
"In the confusion of landing some
one had forced the lock-very clever
ly too-and carried off the child. God
knows what lived through, as one
after another each line Of inveStiga-
ton failed I have advertised and
employed detectives in every land; I
myself have become a wanderer-al-

made every effort to locate the Hin

with which he may have been con-
nected. But 1t has all been useless,
even the precaution of tattooing.
Through all these lonely years of
search I have found no trace of my
boy"
Venning paused for a moment. SYM
pathy was written on every face, but
no one spoke; the silence was broken
only by the cracking fire and the
tall clock ticking away in the COR
ner.
"Now, gentlemen venning con-
tinued, "you know to whom drank
the silent toast. never tell this story
without drinking the health of my boy,
who, if living, Is now q man and
never miss a chance to tell 1t, always
hoping that some listener may be able
to give me a clue, however slight"
Venning ceased speaking and looked
around the table, an appeal in his eyes
that went straight to the heart of every
man.
"By George!" exclaimed the host,
'Td give a good deal if could help
