FREEBOOTERG..
In England They Were Moss Troop
ers, In ireland Bogtrotters.

Moss troopers in olden days in Eng
land infested the marshy country of
Liddesdale and subsisted chiefly by
rapine Such freebooters in Ireland
were called bogtrotters, apparently for
similar reason.
Sir Walter Scott. in the Lay of the
Last Minstrel" introduces the word
thus:
fancied moss trooper. the boy
The trunoheon of a spear bestrode
And round the hall right merrily
In mimic foray rode.
This name was also given to maraud-
ers upon the border Mr.. Camden
calls them borderers and describes
them as wild and warlike people.
"They are called moss troopers" says
Fuller in long account of them in his
"Worthies of England" because they
dwell in the mosses and ride in troops
together. They dwell in the bounds
or meeting of two kingdoms, but obey
the laws of neither. They come to

ChicagO.-A thousand men of one
mind; thousand men gathered from
the four points of the compass, from
more than half way around the globe
for one purpose-to nominate one man
as candidate for president of the
United States.
Political conventions are at all
times picturesque gatherings. Within
the past half century Chicago has en-
tertained more of them than any
other city in the country. Many have
been memorable gatherings wi ich
will stand for all time as marking mile
stones in party history; many of them
have been dercely waged contests be-
tween political giants seeking prefer
ment at the hands of their party;
many OF them have lasted for days
while the leaders fought to find solu-
tons for difficult political problems,
but none have ever been quite like
that of the republican convention of
1904.
The distinguishing feature of the
convention that has placed Theodore
Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks be.
fore the voters was it's unanimity-
its thousand men of one mind. It was
unanimity that to the spectators
that flock to such gatherings was pain
full in its lack of hilarious enthusiasm,
an enthusiasm that is, as rule, born
of contention. The Chicago public
looked down upon the crowded seats
of the delegates from gallery van
tage points and called it tame.
Where usually there is brass banL
for every delegation for this conven-
ton one served the purpose Of all. It
was good band, led by Sousa, but
even Sousa seemed to fail to arouse
that degree Of shouting enthusiasm
characteristic of conventions He
played The Star Spangled Banner,
and the crowd sat motionless waiting
for inspiration. 1t was coming.
From the national air the band 'drifted
into the quickening strains of Dixie"
and 1t brought with it the inspiration
that was lacking. The delegates of

Iethargy that seemed to possess the

When Hawaii Lost.

OF really amusing incidents at the
convention there were few. Uncle
Joe was the only one reliable fun.
maker, and played the part we'll, but
one of the variations came with the
effort to give little Hawaii six dele
gates after the report of the rules
committee had recommended but two.
Senator Foraker pleaded with the con.
vention, for justice for the little ter
ritory, and asked for the opinion of
Gov. Carter. the territorial executive.
He got it even before the chairman
had an opportunity Of realizing that
it was to be given. It came in a few
words, terse and directly to the point.
He was fighting for Hawaii, and out
of the incident grew the only roll call
taken save that upon which the candi.
date for the presidency was nominated.
Gov. Carter replaced Uncle Joe as
the comedian of the convention dur
ing the short time spent in settling
this one variation from the prescribed
programme. He gesticulated dire
threats against all who dared to speak
against Hawaii, and during the roll
call on the question, which resulted
497 against and 400 for the territorial
contention, he played a pantomine on
the stage. At every vote for Hawaii
he shook hands with himself ener.
getically, he patted himself on the
back, he danced an Irish Jig, he threw
kisses to his friends, he indicated in
way that could not be misunderstood
the appetizing liquids that awaited
those who voted right. But Hawaii
lost. Six delegates might sit in the
convention, but they could cast but
two votes, though they were privileged
to make all the noise they wished, and
when the result of the close vote was
announced the grief of Gov. Carter
seemed real. He was disappointed in
the party that had given his island ter
ritory a place in the American union.
The great drops Of perspiration that
rolled from his face, produced by his
efforts at pantomine lobbying, served
the purpose of the tears he wished to
shed:

Golden Alaska and little Connecticut
were the two exceptions to the general
rule. Above the heads of the Alaskan
delegation on the first day Of the con

ing above the sea of heads. When,
by action of the convention, the Alas.
kan delegation was increased from

neers, from no one seems to know
where. ~: :. II. -.
These and the little silken national
flags of the Connecticut delegation,
that were waved when the chairman
gave the signal, were the two, bits OF
color in that sea of sweltering, black
clothed delegates. One Of the most
interesting features Of the gathering
was to watch the effectual efforts made
by these two delegations to produce
enthusiasm. The hardy gold miners
OF the north were deep-voiced and
blessed with wonderful development
OF lung power as we'll as muscle.
Back and forth, and back and forth
they carried the birds, through and
through the convention hall marched
the little procession, and every move
meant a yell at opportune times.
OF course the most enthusiastic
moment of the convention was when
ex-Gov. Black completed his speech:
nominating President Roosevelt as
candidate to succeed himself. Then
the banners and flags appeared as if
by magic, delegates and guests yelled
themselves hoarse at Uncle Joe's bid
ding, but still the tin horn was absent.

All entomologists through the length

No man ever had 1000 men under
