the committee on resolutions reported

cries OF "question" but President

heard. Secretary Wilson addressed
the convention in favor of the adopt.

She was to marry him. | was only a
guest in the house, but the affair
troubled me and I sought long and
earnestly for an explanation of it.
So far as I could judge Mary had a
distinct aversion to Ralph Weston,
rather than an affection for him, but
nevertheless he seemed to dominate
her life. She feared him, but for some
reason chose to keep secret the cause
of that fear. I could see her almost
shrink from him when he called, but
she dared not refuse to see him or
break the engagement which her
father had sanctioned.
What was the secret of his power?
I asked myself. Why di> she not go to
her father easy-going, blind old
Mark Tottenham-and tell him she
could not marry this man? | could
see no reason why she should sacri-
fee herself. Her father was wealthy
and Weston was not. Surely the lat

man that made such a marriage i'm

Tottenham thought he was acting for
the best interests of his daughter.
He liked Weston-who could be ex
tremely affable and entertaining when

A TELEPHONE WIRE NET.
An international System That Con-
meets Principal European Cities
with Paris as the Center.

Paris is the center of an interna-
tional telephone wire net; it's extreme
ends are London, Hamburg, Berlin
and lin connection with the French
italian line about to be opened) Turin
and Milan. The Paris-Berlin line is
the longest, with about 625 miles OF
wire. The Paris-Hamburg line is
about the same. The distance from
Paris to Turin, measured by an air
line, is about 375 miles, and that be-
tween Paris and Milan about 40 miles,
states the Scientific American.
But all these lines are eclipsed in
length by that between Paris and Co
logne, not by the direct line. but by
indirect connection, often rendered
necessary by breaks in the other serv-
ice In such cases a person in Paris
desiring to speak to Cologne, is con-
nected via Berlin. This roundabout
way increases the wire distance about
375 miles, making the total about
1000 miles. The Cologne Gazette
states that this does not impair the
distinctness of the message, and no
loss of time is noted in using this in
creased distance.

WOMEN SMOKE IN PUBLIC.
High-CIass Hotel in New York City
Has Room for Their Ac-
cOmmOdatiOn

As liberal in it's views as New York
city is generally conceded to be in
most things, there have always been
certain Puritan prejudices which it has
chung to tenaciously-a few very def
mite laws against the offending of the
proprieties which one might not vio-
late with impunity. Possibly one of
the most stringent of these unwrit-
ten laws has been that which prohib-
it's women from smoking in public
places, says the New York Post. I'm
til within very recently, it is safe to
say, not hotel in the city that pre-
tends to cater to the ''better element"
has allowed it's women patrons to
smoke in any of it's public rooms.
Either the owners of these places are
becoming broader minded or else the
feminine demand to be allowed to
smoke has become too insistent to be
further ignored. At any rate, this
form of woman's rights has been pub
licly acknowledged by at least one
hotel proprietor. In the dining-room
of high-class hotel an engraved card
bearing this inscription, is placed on
each of the tables every evening:
Gentlemen and ladies wishing to
smoke may do so in the giltroom."
The giltroom is back OF the par1or
on the second floor, and nightly it is
filled with men and women smoking.
Simply as commentary on the "prog-
ress of the times" the fact may be
recalled that only little while ago
a woman was arrested and taken to a
police station for smoking on Broad
way.

A SMALL BOYS AMBITION.

My brother Fred s the incest man, so big
an straight an tall.
Why he can do all kinds of things that
can't do at all!
And.you always hear him whistlin while
he's a-workin' round.
Sometimes he doubles up his arm, an says
to me: NOW, pound!'
An when / pound him lawful hard) he only
laughs al me.
When l am big that's just the kind of man
I'm goin' to be.
Sonnet times when I've been hammerin' an
the nails won't go in straight,
My brother Fred he comes along, an says:
'Why, that's first-rate!''
An then he takes my hammer an he taps
just once or twice,
An all those crooked, bent-up nails go in
as straight an nice!
An then he laughs an picks me UP, till I
4 am taller'n he.
An when I'm big that's just the kind of
man I'm goin to be.
Sometimes when I'm playin round, break
things an feel bad
But Fred he comes whistlin' along, an
says: Don't look SO sad"
Then off he goes, an pretty soon hear him
comm back;
An what I broke's all mended up so ma
can't find the crack!
I don't cry then, but laugh, an mamma
laughs, an so does he.
An when I'm big that's just the kind of
man I'm goin' to be.
Once I was sick a-visitin' guess was
most dead
But my ma she knew what to do-she sent
for brother Fred.
An Fred he picked me right straight up an
carried me off home.
So easy in his big strong arms. An want
I glad to come!
An 1 was thinkin' all along as he was
bringin' me,
"When 1 am big Freds just the kind of
man I'm goin' to be!''

An unusual sight was witnessed at a
funeral at Horsell, England, the body
being drawn to the churchyard in a
four-wheeled farm wagon painted
red and blue, and attached to which
were couple of farm horses. The
funeral was that of Richard Brettell,
solicitor, of Chertsey, and it was his
last request that he should be con-
veyed in this manner to the grave.
The journey from Chertsey to Hor-
sell occupied two and a half hours,
and six farm laborers walked BY the
wagon the whole distance, in addi-
ton to which they bore the coffin
from the vehicle into the church.

The Bicycle Fad.

The bicycle craze, that was SO pro-
nounced few years ago, has expired,
and with it many of the factories that
we're kept busy supplying the demand.
But this craze is succeeded by a class
of riders who use the wheel for bust
ness as well as. pleasure. and prices ar J
so greatly reduced, that the bicycle is
no longer luxury, but is regarded by
many as an every day necessity.
Every work shop in the country, and
many of the Offices, turn out riders
that have no ambition for century
runs or scorching exploits.
Many people have discovered that the
wheel is promoter Of health, and
manufacturers claim that the present
season is the most satisfactory of any
they have experienced. II you want
to get the cobwebs out of your brain,
and the kinks out of your back, ride a
wheel an hour Or two day aud you
will cheat the doctor out of enough to
pay for the machine in a couple of
years, and add to your stock of good
nature to such an extent that your
wife will fall in love with you.

LaFollette's pen pictures of the ma
chine delivered from stump and plat
form two years ago have been sadly
blotted since the expose of his combi-
nation with Fl. G. Payne two years ago
in order to secure the gubernatorial
nomination hands down. The truth
has at last come to light, and distrust
will arise throughout the state in the
minds Of the people in regard to the
sincerity of the reform governor.
