A HEARST
SCHEME
REPORTED CHALLENGE OF CUM.
MINIS BY SULLIVAN CAUSES
TROUBLE IN DEMOCRACY.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.--The report that
Jerry Sullivan had challenged Govern
or Cummins to a joint debate has been
traced to its origin and is found TO have
been nothing more nor less than an at
tempt by Hearst's Chicago American
TO conduct the democratic Iowa cam
paign. The following dispatch from
Des Moines to the Chicago morning pa
pers today explains the whole matter.
Causes Revolt.
Des Moines, Oct. 2S. The chair
man of the democratic state central
committee has revolted against the die
tatorship of Congressman Hearst of
New York, who has been trying to run
the Iowa democratic campaign by the
long distance telephone.
Yellow Journalism.
A few nights ago Mr.. Hearst's Chica-
go representative called the democrat
ic manager out of his bed with a tele-
gram notifying him to arrange for a
joint discussion between Governor
Cummins and Candidate Sullivan at
Marshalltown on Oct. 80, and before
anyone at the democratic headquarters
knew more of the announced scheme
Nh. Hearst's Chicago organ announced
that challenge had been issued to
Governor Cummins.
VIII Not Challenge.
This assumption on the part OF
Hearst of full authority to manage the
campaign was not relished by Chair
man Jackson OF the democratic com
mittee and he says he will not issue
any challenge for a joint discussion be
tween the two candidates for the gov
| ernorship.
1 Disresards Whole Matter.
Chairman Spence OF the republican
committee will pay no attention to the
4 Hearst challenge for Il Joint debate, az
he says the republicans do not recog
nize the right OF the New York con
gressman to set himself UP as an low;
boss.

Owl Saved Him.

King Robert the Bruce, according to
the wellknown story, once owed his
safety to a spider. Among the Tartars
of Central Asia there is 4 belief that
one of their khans or chiefs was pre.
served, long years ago, by the great
horned owl. He had hidden in a thick.
ct to avoid capture by some enemies,
BY and by his pursuers came to this
spot. The first thing they saw was an
owl sitting on bush. What did this
mean? It signified, in their eyes, that
this bird would not rest quietly there
IT any man were lying concealed close
by. Therefore they arg,ied that the
khan could not be there, and so they
hurried on to search for him else
where. At nightfa11. the khan made
his way to the camp of his men and
told them how he had been saved
from certain death. His story. caused
them ever afterward to look npon the
owl with reverence and love. They
wore it's feathers in their caps as 3
pledge of victory. ~ Az

Scrap Of Carbon Paper

If one were looking for a cure fol-
bashfulness, carbon paper would seem
an unlikely thing to select. But it was
a piece Of this paper which, if it did
not exactly cure John Kendall, at least
overcame the effects of his shyness.
Johns bashfulness was most per-
nicious, and while it had not retarded
his career as successful manufac-
turer, in the flourishing town of Schuy-
lerville, it proved very embarrassing
possession when he was smitten with
the tender passion.
In the first place, Margaret Little
was IAN authoress," and that alone
was an awe-inspiring circumstance. To
be able to write stories which met
with occasional acceptance; to have
the postman sometimes bring her thin
letters containing checks, and not to
be the grinning bearer Of bulky. pack.
ages of rejected manuscripts, placed
her on q plane above other women
in Johns eyes. Not that she needed
such placing, for it would be futile to
chronicle the angelic qualities with
whicn he endowed her.
The trouble with this endowment
process was that it was not disclosed
to Margaret. John could write, and
did write, letters teeming with senti-
ment. OF course, it was unfortunate
that these letters were never sent. 1t
was more unfortunate that he found
himself unable to express in her pres:
ence the feelings which .agitated his
six feet of manhood.
He had made three attempts at a
proposal, each of which had ended in
stammering confusion and dire fail
ure, and it is probable that the num-
ber would have been: extended in.

visit that John spurred himself to &C

happened to glance out of the window.
Across the orchard came Margaret
and the editor. The latter-a small,
blonde, handsome man-was walking
close beside his contributor, and look
ing smilingly into her beautiful eyes.
; After viewing the scene John was
seized with panic at the thought of
Margaret's reading his note immedi-
ately. The next instant he was strid-
ing away from the house, scattering
bits Of white paper to the June
breeZes.
He did not see Margaret for a week,
and during that time deep despair
held him for it's own. Then an urgent
business affair led him to call on her
father, who was suffering from a slight
+ illness, and was unable to leave the
house.
When the interview with Mr. Little
was at an end, and John reached the
front door he found Margaret sitting
on the veranda. He thought to pass
her with asformal greeting, but his
intentions usually went astray where
she was concerned, and he was soon

maid, whom he hoped had forgotten

''The girl said something about you

John said weakly, ."but the affair was

Before you could write the note?"
''No; I thought it would be- post

Margaret was, looking. demurely at

companion did not hear the remark.
"John," she Said, in a louder tone, II

John Kendall turned slowly, and
regarded the object of his affections
with bewilderment. He: wondered It
any Of the torn bits of paper had been
picked up and pieced together BY Mar

widely that that seemed impossible: "
