The Constitutional Convention did
some work yesterday as well as some
talking. 1t set aside the committee
plan which provided for several COM
mittees. This plan was indefinitely
postponed by a vote Of 81 to 40. 1t is
possible that some saw in this plan
more than there was in it, or, at least,
more than was intended to be in it by
those who made it. But it is also pos
sible, not to say probable, that the peo-
pie will be better satisfied if the work
of the convention is done openly and
publicly instead of being largely done
in committee rooms. The convention
shouldn't be any cut and dried affair,
and the indications now are that it
won't be. Under the committee-of- the
whole plan everybody will get chance
to talk, and in the multitude of counsel
lors there may be safety, even if there
is some delay and confusion.
The Convention voted to proceed at
once to the representation question, and
the debate will be lively and interest

not understand your question. But go
to New York and offer in payment the
Spanish coin, the unit of the Spanish
piece Of eight, and the shop or market
man will take it for shilling, Carry it
to Boston or Richmond, and you shall
be told that it is not shilling but nine
pence. Bring it to Philadelphia, Balti-
more, or the city of Washington, and
you shall find it recognized for an
eleven penny bit; and if you ask how
that can be, you shall learn that, the
dollar being Of ninety pence, the eighth
part of it is nearer to eleven than to

A Wisconsin girl has sued a Chicago
man for breach of promise and the case
is rather interesting one. She wants
$4,000, and as evidence that she is en-
titled to it she mentions that since she
found out that the Chicago man wasn't
going to keep his promise she has lost
thirty pounds of flesh
1t doth not appear what this sorrow
ing maiden weighed before the breach
of promise, and so we cannot tell
whether she could afford to lose thirty
pounds of flesh. Some women could
lose that much so well that such a loss
might not be considered very damag-
ing. But if this shrinking and shrunk-
Ell girl was not too big before the
breach of promise the loss of thirty
pounds of her good flesh is a serious
matter and she may well rate 1t at
S166.66 2-3 a pound. If it is an unmiti-
gated loss the wretch who caused it
should be made to pay for it. She was
lucky in losing such faithless lover,
but it may be that she can't afford to
lose a large part of herself too. And
even if she was too large before she
had to take was pretty severe.

while city editor of a morning
newspaper several years ago." said
newspaper writer to the Tattler, IL had
a curious experience. A death had oc-
CURED in my family, and my wife had
decided to go into deep mourning.
What made the matter little awk-
ward was that she just procured her
winter wardrobe, and it CHANGED to be
more elaborate than useual To Law
aside her colored robes and wraps for
a year or more was to render them
practically useless. As she pondered
on the problems presented, a bright idea
came to her and she quickly framed
this sentence, which she published as
an advertisement.
Lady in mourning will sacrifice her
newly purchased wardrobe Among
others who responded was the daughter
Of one of my editorial associates. who
purchased one of the robes, and the
others were soon disposed of. The in
cidcnt had almost passed from my
memory when one day I found on my
desk an article written by one of my
staff, ON the top page of which appear
ed a copy of the advertisement Fol-
lowing this came a pathetic story of
the distressed family with an
agonizing account of the sufferings and
privations that led to the offering for
sale of the garments. 1t was assumed
by the writer that the mourning idea
was only a ruse to sell the articles, and
he pictured the pangs of poverty that
had prompted the scheme to keep the
wolf from the door and strong adjec-
tives were used in depicting the helpless
condition of the Impoverished family
An effort had, evidently been made
by the reporter to locate the family,
