caused q lull In the political
speculation respecting bis attitude
toward the Republican nomination
for President. The old man is
battling bravely however aud II
he wins out with the fever, he will
be stronger aud 6tter even than
before, and renewed activity in his
interest will be active. It is safe
to say, however, that Teddy is
hurrying his appointees all over
the land to push forward the early
selection OF delegates, while the
friends Of Hanna are waiting for
his physical recovery.
Hon. @. W. Williamson, of
Jackson, Mississippi, a leading
lawyer Of the State, a banker aud
a staunch and representative type
OF the hardy, honorable Southern
er, comes out in a strong inter
view, advocating the nomination
OF W. r. Hearst, by the Demo
Gratis for President. Among other
things Mr.. Williamson syas: "I
believe that Mr.. Hearst is the
man Of the hour. His nomination
would unite Democrats through.
out the country. AS a banker
and as one who desires to promote
the industrial developments of the
South, 1 am an earnest support
er Mr.. Hearst. / believe that he
is the safest, soundest and most
available leader in the Democratic
party. Under his administration
the rights Of all the people, ire
spective Of class or condition,
would be protected. Mr.. Hearst
has framed issues that will win In
the next election. His candidancy
would be a platform in ITSELF"
The declaration at Washington
that the United States would pre-
serve absolute neutrality during
the war between japan and Russia
is hardly consistent with the re.
quest from the same source to the
the other powers that oil should
join in q request that the integrity
Of China should be respected. It
is known that Russia alone is like
u to oppose this suggestion,
hence it may be expected that
France aud Germany will decline
to join in the request. This attl-
tude will naturally force England
and the United States to take q
stand which cannot be considered
neutral. In other words, il the

Joy that she was glad to have this Young fellow oppo-
site her; and it made her feel Younger and happier
than she had felt any time in the last two wears to
see his look of frank, honest admiration. and to know
that there was no longer any reason why she should
not take pleasure in it.
She knew that it would be decidedly improper
to permit the ~youngster to talk to her. and she smiled
at herself for calling him a voungSter when he proba-
bly, was her senior by more than a year; and then her
face clouded as she thought how much older in feeling

two years gone.

sank into the seat opposite the young woman, who
was already deep in her novel and seemed willing to
let it appear that she had forgotten his presence.
To The Cub" came the horrible thought that the
monogram charm had failed to work. Perhaps she
wouldn't let him talk to her at all. And as he now
cautiously took stock, he found his companion even
more interesting than she had appeared at long
range. But the memory of the first look she had
given when she seemed about to refuse his request
for a seat held him silent. and he pulled a morning
paper from his pocket and tried to simulate an interest
in the columns OF the first page.
Meanwhile the girl was ~disposing of a number of
