SO ne did not try It. But while eating DIN
ner that day, noticed that the window was
dirty, and made up my mind that as soon
as the clock struck five would take the hose
and wash the window. I could hardly wait
for the time to come I listened, and after
long time the clock struck five. unreeled
the hose, turned on the water and pointed
it toward the window. But after dinner my
aunt had raised the window. You can guess
what happened. The water went in, my
aunt came out, and as the window was right
over the faucet she could not shut it off. She
called to, me and then shut it off.
Everything was soaked. I got rag and
the pail and went to work. My brother looked
on awhile, then helped me, but it would have
served me right to have let me do it alone.

A CLOSE YACHT RACE
Reliance Beats Constitution over
Thirty-Mile Course.

UlTAJ-MAig 0NAAS ~
New York, May 27.-In a gamely
contested race the Reliance again led
the way across the finish line, winning
her second victory over the Columbia
and her first over the Constitution.
Two minutes and 81 seconds later the
Constitution finished. and the crew
Of the new boat gave her such a cheer
as she deserved. The Constitution
had sailed a plucky race and had
right to share in the honors. From the
start to the finish she had fought out
every mile over the 30-mile course,
and on two Of its legs had actually
outsailed the new boat, a perform
ance which restores her prestige, i'm
periIed in her disappointing showing
in the drifting match last Saturday
and makes her a factor to be reck-
oned with in the selection of a cup
defender.
The Columbia was, for the day out
classed. From the very start she was
never for a moment in the race. While
the Reliance and Constitution were
having it out between themselves all
the way around the course. the former
cup defender was dragging along miles
astern of them. and when the Reliance
sailed across the finish line the Co
lumbia was more than two miles al
most dead to leeward. The Reliance
beat her by Is minutes and 81 seconds

Cleveland, May Ex-senator Hanna
has decided to offer no further opposi-
fion to a proposed resolution in the
coming Republican State Convention
endorsing the candidacy of President
Roosevelt for another term. When
asked if he had heard from President
Roosevelt with reference to the discus
sion concerning his attitude in connec-
tion with the resolution, Senator
Hanna made the following statement:
81 am in receipt of telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to
me his desire to have the endorsement
of the Ohio State Convention OF his
administration and candidacy. In
view of this l shall not oppose such
action by the convention. and l have
telegraphed the president to that
effect"
It is the general belief, however
among those close to the senator that
he still doubts the advisability OF the
adoption of a resolution endorsing
President Roosevelt's candidacy by
this years convention. But 1t Is
Dointed out that in deferring to the
presidents judgment and expressed
wishes Mr.. Hanna demonstrates that
his original posiuon in the matter was
at no time prompted by personal an
fagonism to President Roosevelt.
