The Mobile Register says, "The
South is going to back anybody
to beat Roosevelt. Three years of
Roosevelt's policy has resulted in
reviving the race question, section
alism and ill-feeling. Finally the
Republican platform talks of pun
ishing the South. 1t is vain
threat, but it makes no friends
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
There is no man in our history
that is so cordially and universal
ly condemned iii the south as
Theodore Roosevelt. He has shown
a perfect genius in accomplishing
this swift destruction of what was
at one time fair popularity"

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, of
West Virginia, who has been NOM
mated for Vice-President by the
National Democratic Convention,
is one of the great builders and
developers of his generation. He
has been West Virginias most i'm

mines of coal and iron, construct
ed railroads, and made his state
one of the greatest of the coun-
try's industrial area. He was the
chief figure at the Pan-American

honor of furthering the project of
building the transcontinental line
which is to connect North, Central

PARKER AND DAVIS.

Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, was nominated for President
OH the first ballot oy the Demo-
cratic National Convention last
Saturday
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, Of
West Virginia, was nominated for
Vice-President.
After the nomination of Parker,
and the adoption of the platform,
the convention was thrown into
excitement by the following tele-
gram:
"Hon. w. +. Sheehan,
Jefferson Hotel, ST. Louis:
II regard the gold standard as
firmly and irrevocably established
and shall act accordingly if the
action of the Convention of to-day
shall be ratified by the people. AS
the platform is silent Oh the sub
ject, my views SHOULD be made
known to the convection. and if
it is proved to be unsatisfactory
to the majority | request you to
decline the nomination Tor me ut
once, so that another may be nom
mated before adjournment.
A. B. PARKER"
After considerable discussion the
convention became calm and fully
harmonized conflicting opinions.
and sent the following reply to
Judge Parker:
1.-The platform adopted by this
convention is silent on the ques-
ton of the monetary standard be-
cause it is not regarded by us as a
possible issue in this campaign,
and only campaign issues were
mentioned in the platform. There
fore there is nothing in the views
expressed by you, in the telegram
just received, which would pre-
clude a man entertaining them
from accepting q nomination on
said platform. !"
The Democrats are enthusiastic
and hopeful of winning under the
banner of Parker and Davis.

The strains of "Dixie" never fail
to elicit er thusiastic outbursts

patriotic Americans says the AL
bany Herald. Dixie" is of the
South and intensely Southern, but
New Englanders and Westerners
cheer it to the echo whenever it
greets their ears. The South has
made "Dixie" what it is-the most
popular air we hear in the New
World. The enthusiasm with
which it has always been greeted
in this section has impaired itself
to the rest of the country, and
"Dixie" today is a national air in
fact if not in name. 1t threw the
Democratic national convention at
st. Louis into pandemonium, dele
gates from all sections of the
country rising from their seats and

up and down the stream And all
this time a realization grew upon the
naturalist that the woods and their
occupants were not sufficient to his
happiness.
Three weeks went by all too quick
ly. The colonel had announced his
intention to start for home two days
later. AS the naturalist padded home

suddenly aware that two days later the
woods would be quite different. This
great, calm, comforting forest would
become a hateful, sterile desert without
Miss Strong. The naturalist dug his
paddle viciously into the water. Great
ScottI This imbecile incoming must be
stopped here and now!"
He hurried the remaining distance
back to camp and endeavored to con-
centrate his mind on the long
neglected conclusion Of his book. But
concentration is difficult when the for
est is enshrouded in a soft spring
night.
After an hours fruitIess labor the
naturalist stalked down to the bank
Of the stream and lighted his pipe.
He said many things about beavers
that you will search vainly for in
his published work. He sat on the
bank until the round moon. nearing

unseemly haste.

At the end of that rapturous hour. OF
wonderful music in the dim interior
of ST. Michaels next day, Betty sim
ply turned her humid eyes upon Manice
and held out her hands. 1t was not
until she had gained the poise and
assertion of six months of wifehood
that she accused him of taking an un-
fair advantage.
AS If any girl could have refused

hair disgracefully. "It was what the

The days passed like a procession of
snails. but she did not appear, and
though, through the kindness Of city
friends, he had number of introduc-
tions, he made no effort to discover her
identity He had a strange, sweet con-
sciousness-to which he held in spite Of
disappointment and the deplorable SEN
timentality into which it was leading
him-that she was surely drifting
toward him, and that each dayAbrought
them near together.
Near the end Of the third week his
faith was rewarded. 1t was on the
golf links, and a ripple Of peculiarly
clear, frank laughter somewhere near
him caused him to turn his head. She
and a companion were sauntering to-
ward him, every line of her 1.-THE,
graceful figure standing out gloriously
against the pure background Of the
sky, her brown hair framing her face
in bewitching disorder.
On this glimpse of her Manice lived
for another week, and then his friend,
Duncan Brown, descended upon him
for the weeks end stay. Duncan
would have been welcome under any
circumstances, but when he announced
that a great friend Of his, Betty Ais
ton, lived in Morristown, and offered
to take Manice to see her, the latter
pressed the freedom of his bachelor
quarters upon him with added fer
vency, wondering If by chance he was
entertaining an angel unawares.
So, indeed, it proved.
II think 1 saw you on the links the
other day." Miss Aston remarked,
turning to Manice after the greetings
were over, and that gentleman always
wondered what he said in reply. The
one impression that he carried away
from that meeting was a confusing
sense Of having been projected unex-
pectedly into the very midst Of heaven
That impression, however, was not
lasting. Time revealed that If Miss
Alston was a guiding star, others be-
sides himself were looking, raising their
eyes to her and following where she
led.
Still, he drew a sigh Of relief at the
thought that he had two rivals instead
Of one. Always, in these matters, there
was safety in numbers.
Keeping watchful eye upon two RI
walls is wearing work even fcr a strong
man II Manice had been fascinated
by Betty Alston's face, at the end of
two months it was lovelier to him than
ever, for the better he knew her the
more assured he became OF her sweet
ness and womanliness. Counted by con-
ventional standards it was a pitfully
short time that they had known each
other, but he felt as if he had been
aware of her through all the thirty-five
years Of waiting.
Thus his love, like a mighty wave.

several promising beaver dams; and
here he and his two guides had passed
the winter. A very profitable winter,
the naturalist had considered It; for,
by close observation, he had proved be-
yond the shadow of of doubt that the
beaver was much maligned in the pop
ular science Of the day. He was busily
preparing a book to e brought out in
the early summer, giving the beaver
his due and undeceiving that portion Of
the reading public which thirsts for
natural history in popular vein.
In the late spring, when the natural
ist was writing the last few chapters
of his book. Colonel Strong had come
up to the Little Otter for trout and
salmon. The colonel's camp was a
mile below the naturalist's-a distance
inconsequential to so strong a paddler
as the latter. The colonel had brought
with him his daughter. a tactful,
charming girl, with frank enthusiasm
for the wilderness in general and the
Little Otter in particular.
Since Miss Strong's advent into the
wilderness the beavers had suffered
gross neglect. Those last few chap

list sought his desk only late at night
or at odd hours in the early morning.

of their construction; he taught her
