The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-05-17

~ NOE there was a great big
W. Burly who had Wife
about the size of a Grass
hopper. Usually she wore a gray
Tailor-Made that looked as If it
would have to be let out if she
gained another pound.
Any one, to look at Jessaline,
would have said that she was
rather frail and Weakly, while the
he-end of the Sketch looked husky
enough to pull Dray. 1t often
happens that the heayy-draft Bach
elor picks out Nudge and makes
love to ner and she is so scared at
the size of him that she hasn't got
the Nerve to throw him down.
At any rate, the cute and dainty
little Jessaline with Waist Meas
urment of II inches was all hooked
up with the human Mastadon who
went by the name of Henry and
looked the Part.
Now, it happened that Hen and
Jess lived in a nice little Town
where there were great many
lonely Old Families and a great
deal of Wealth, but it was per-
yaded at all Hours by a Cemetery
Calm. The Social Gayeties of the
Place revolved slowly around a
Missionary Society. Any one de-
string to mix Cocktail had to pull
down all the Blinds and disconnect
the Telephone, and also 1t was adj
yisable to wear Masks at Poker
Party.
Jessaline would often become
restless and champ at the Bit. She
had attended a Select School for
Girls, at which she had learned
other Parlor Didoes. No wonder
that she hated to play Dominoes
all Evening and then turn out the
Lights at $50 P. NJ, which, In
Keen Society," is the mere Edge or
the Night.
Now, it CHANGED that Jessaline
had a Chum. They had eaten
Olives out of the same Bottle while
attending the Select School FOR
Girls Chum had gone against the
Matrimonial Game, the same as
Jessaline, only, instead of landing
in Sleepy Hollow, she was up in
the City, taking in the Big Show.
She wrote to Jessaline, urging
her to come up and put in busy
Week. After working on the Hand
writing for several Days, Jessaline
succeeded in reading the whole
Letter, and she began to tease
Henry to knock off for a Week
and take her up to the hoop-la
Metropolis and let her burn few
Holes in the Track. She told
Henry that he had been sticking
to his Desk too closely and that
lie needed a good Rest.
Large Bodies move slowly, and
several days elapsed before Henry
came to her way of Thinking, al
though it was Pipe from the be-
ginning that she would bring him
around.
Jessaline got busy and put six
Women to work building a new
Evening Gown for her. 1t was a
Pale plue Cerise with Battenberg
Insertion, yoked with Mayonnaise
and Ealenciennes, the Flounces be-
ing gathered in with Passamenterie
and the Bodice hand-painted. When
Henry got a Flash at the Bill he
allowed that instead of taking a

CLOSER THAN EVER NOW TO HIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THERE
is LESS ANTAGONIST TO
MARKED DEGREE.
Speedy Decision as to Hanna's Attitude
Toward the Presidency is Desired by
Friends Of Both Men and Roose-
welt Will Request Hanna to
Declare Himself.

Washington, Nov. o.-1he advance
guard of the Hanna political crowd in
Ohio is in the city and is making a
mighty effort to create the impression
that the senator will not decide about
his future political conduct for some time
to come.
These supporters will only talk in
whispers after they are assured that
they will not be quoted, but the sum to-
tai Of their observations, opinions, etc,
is that Senator Hanna will not permit
himself to be forced at this time into the
position where he must declare himself.
They intimate that the president is
desirous Of having him make his polit-
ical position clear before the meeting
Of the national committee next month.
They claim the president would like
to nave the matter settled finally at this
time, SO that the probability OF Hanna
becoming a candidate will not keep bob,
bing up to bother the administration
frequently before the next national con-
yention.
The assurance that Hanna may become
a candidate if he can wait until the sit
uption develops is not borne out by
known facts.
The powerful commercial, financial and
other interests which are in sympathy
md close touch with the Hanna leader.
ship is becoming closer and closer as
the days go by with the Roosevelt ad-
ministration.
Their antagonism to Roosevelt is less
marked at this moment that it has been
for months.
The element which naturally would
contribute to Hanna presidential boom
IRE not strong against Roosevelt at this
time. In fact they are acting in a con
trary way. The Roosevelt power is
plainly naturalizing those formerly op-
posing clements,
Senator Hanna will arrive tomorrow.
No time will be lost by both sisAs to
get to him. His friends with personal
ambitions will try to get him to hold
fl. The others will try to get him to
say that he will use all his influence to
secure the election of Roosevelt.

three weeks. During this time forty-one
persons have been confined to the build

seems Of itself to be proof of freedom
from infection, but in order to be doubIy
sure all buildings have been disinfected
